hey stephen this is h**th Bl*ck. haha. One thing I'd like to say about your political posts as of late is this......do not sway to the left or to the right, but rather you should follow the middle? Both sides have their valid points, both have their idiocy's. Pro-life is Republican ground, while feeding the poor is Democrat ground. These are both very...."Christian" ideals, if you will, but both are very blatantly obvious in their violation of the Gospel.....I am not saying one side is better than another, I am not saying one side is more "christian" than another.....but what I am saying is Follow Jesus' grace, love, and hope of the gospels, follow his commandments, follow his call for you because Partisanship is only distorting the true gospel of Jesus Christ. So neither sway left nor right, but follow the way the truth and the light.

"but here in America."

Interesting comment, considering that the bias against Christians even in the South isn't exactly completely hidden. For the majority of my life in public school, being totally honest and open about what you believed could easily earn you a good deal of dislike from all sides. The world is fallen, imperfect. Such things happen everwhere, even in America. They shouldn't, and it is horribly depressing when these things do happen, but no country is ever entirely safe.

with the legal attacks against christianity, did you really think physical violence was that far away? prayer has been taken out of the schools, out of high school sports (pre-game prayers), they tried to get it out of the pledge of allegiance. it's been a long time coming, and it's gonna happen more in the upcoming years, i think.

the six word memoir

Image
there is a (not so) current writing trend that is really pretty profound. short but profound. what it is is that authors, writers, and such are writing their whole memoir in just 6 words. some creative ones that i have found are... Nobody cared, then they did. Why? - Chuck Klosterman 70 years, few tears, hairy ears. - Bill Querengesser "For Sale: baby shoes, never worn" -Ernest Hemingway recently people have been putting pictures to their 6 word memoir and they have been incredible. here are some on this NPR LINK . so i think it would be great if each one of us did one about ourself. perhaps post a photoshopped picture and 6 words, or just your 6 word memoir all on its own. either way, i think it would be so interesting to see each others lives in a simple 6 words. HERE IS MINE: .............. LEFT BEHIND A LEFT BEHIND CHILD .................... alternates for mine: always looking, never finding. feeling found. lonely child found fame, lost self. -stephen so SO many good ones...

sticks & stones, broken hearts and bones.

it was trampled, mangled, dirty, and you could even see footprints from size 6 shoes but it didn’t have any words on it so i claimed it as my own. pure gold, that’s what it was worth to any 5th grader in our class. all the boys were going, or the ones that were in the know. my new found treasure was a bi fold invitation that had been torn in half, but there was no name on it now, so technically it could have been mine.; perhaps at one time it was in an envelope with my first and last name on it, but was dropped, taken out of its envelope, misplaced, ripped, and winded up just feet from my desk as if it was fate that we should end up in each others hands. it wasn’t mine. and the person who was giving them out made sure to tell me that i wasn’t invited, i know this because i showed it to the others in the class and they relayed the information to its rightful owner, a neglectful caretaker of precious goods. the birthday party was going to be the next weekend, and all week i had hyped t...

PACIFISM.

this is one of the hardest topics for me to discuss, so im going to keep a running tab on thoughts here till i come to my own conclusion. tolstoy, ghandi, martin luther king jr., gk chesterton. and the list of pacifist's grow. this should seem like such an easy and logical decision. war= not good. death. killing. peace= contentment, stability, life. but when you have grown up in a country where the church, state, and weaponry have all blurred into the same entity it is a much harder decision to come to. there are SO MANY INTELLIGENT PEOPLE on this blog, just read through the comments! my LORD! you guys are brillant. ang said "There is a time and a place for everything, it depends on the situation." but i would like to hear the situations in which violence is necessary. defend yourself? your family? but what about war, when do we have to kill? 'one murder made a villain, millions a hero'. your right ang this is hard because i would defend my family to the death wh...
