Joyously we Look Out Into This Vast World

Hi, hello. Have you ever stopped what you were doing in your daily life and looked around you? Thinking about all the incredible sites there is and not just the man made structures but the better ones than that; the ones someone designed to reflect on what He is like. Have you ever stopped dead in your tracks and thought "Wow, why am I here? How did I get here? Wha-wha-why are we still alive?"? If you think about, hypothetically speaking we shouldn't all be here today. We are standing on an orb that is just floating around in a dark void. Everything was perfectly designed so that we could perfectly survive. We can breath. The temperature is not so hot that everything would melt and no where is it so cold that not a single thing can survive. This is an incredible world that essentially was designed for us to inhabit and it was a gift that we be the ones to rule over the Earth. We need to some times stop and look around to appreciate the beauty of God. We need to stop and bask in the radiant rays of the sun and feel the joy that comes from the beauty all around us. Fathom that if He cares enough for a sparrow think of how much He cares for us.

Celebrating one year!

Hi, hello. So I just realized something today. I have now officially been on here for a whole year. I was thinking originally that it would just give up on this whole thing and stop blogging but as it turns out I now have blogged a whole year and went from 1 follower to 5. Thats 5x as many so maybe by the end of the year I will have 25 followers.

Never Grow Up

Hi, hello.So I was just listening to Taylor Swift's song "Never Grow Up" and although I have heard it several times before I think I just took the lyrics to heart and in fact began to cry. Its amazing how as a child all we want to do is grow up and we are embarrassed by things our parents may do. Lately I have been thinking about how it will be nice when no one will ask me where I am going or why I am going or get all excited if I am a couple minutes late but to be honest, thinking about makes me sad and I think that I am going to really miss not having anyone there to care about me. Most likely when I have room mates I will tell them my plans for what I am doing just out of habit. I wish I could just stay like a child forever. Never grow up. Never experience the evil nature of human beings and stay innocent and naive forever. I really don't want to grow up. The simplicity and peace that is within you as a child reaches a point where it comes back. I realize that I don't want to leave and wish I could go back to those days when everyone was still at home and I was small again. Savor those moments of your childhood. Don't get impatient that it takes so long because one day you look back and realize that you blinked and missed everything. Enjoy the joy in being a child because you never know when one day you aren't going to be a child anymore.

Hey, what about Africa?

Hi, hello. Have you ever noticed that musicians and people who go on tour never seem to voyage over to Africa on tour. They generally go to Europe or Asia but especially tend to tour North America. What about Africa? They listen to music there too. I am sure people living there would feel incredibly privileged to have the pleasure of getting to view their favorite artists live just like everyone else. Don't forget Africa.

How can you believe in nothing?

Hi, hello. This is a topic that has boggled my mind for a long time. How can someone not believe in anything at all? I mean looking at the world around you you have to think that somehow it came to be. Even the scientific method is better than believing that we are just here. No real idea why we are here but we are here and this is just what life is. I just can't comprehend how looking at the complexity of the Earth and seeing how everything is exactly perfect for us to sustain life and yet people don't see it. Even the human body. It is incredible how we first of all form and then grow and develop and eventually die. The body does essentially everything for us. I just can't understand how you can look at the world and not believe that it was created by nothing and just somehow got here but they are too lazy to decide how.

Silence

Hi, hello. What happens when you are at a lose for words? You bask in the beloved silence shared between you and God or you just listen. Stop and listen to the glorious sounds around you and to the thoughts swirling in your head. You never know if maybe one of those thoughts isn't actually yours but rather someone else's. Like a certain Him who is the maker of all things.

Hi, hello. So I have blogged anything recently but it would appear that I have a brain stall. If you have any suggestions please post a comment and let me know what I should blog about.
