| I was talking to an old friend of mine last night, and then it hit me.
Its a blessing to have friends.

| Its around 3 in the morning and I havent posted anything meaningful in awhile. So heres a post to answer a question concerning me thats was asked a couple months ago. Heres a response.
For some of those who don't know, I chose not to join a certain group this year despite all the "you should do it Boomer"s and "you need to do it boomer"s I recieved from peers and elders. I took some time to think about it and I just felt it would not be in my best interest. Why? I'll get to that later. But after making this decision, I got plenty of questions shot at me so I'm here to give a final explanation. They say "Hindsight is twenty-twenty." It really is.
I observed some people from that group and figured that they missed the point of what the group stands for and joined for all the wrong reasons and making their attending that group's meeting nothing more than a "social obligation"with the mind set of "Okay, I'm gonna go to this meeting let everyone know I support this group and what it means, then I'll still go party on the weekends." Doesn't that defeat the purpose of the group? Also, another common reason I found that people joined the group is to "keep in touch with friends." I think keeping in touch with friends is great. But, is that the only reason you're in the group? So that you can hangout and see your friends? Why not just get together some other time and cut the middle man? Did you even think twice about what you were getting yourself into before you joined this group? And then I ask "Why are you in the group?" The responses varied from good, solid responses to bad responses. When did you last check your heart and looked at where it was at, and was brutally honest about where you are instead of rationalize?
Am I angry? Not at all. I just feel like all the hype about signing up for groups is overrated. I mean I got interrogated for not joining. I figured I would be doing it for all the wrong reasons and it wasn't until late september when I finally got my head on straight(er). but hey. I must say, I couldn't have made a better decision.
Sometimes(but more often than we think), not being part of the group is a good thing.

| So im sitting here in the library where i'm supposed to be studying for my poli-sci final or writing the paper I havent started which is due tommorrow. Since I can't seem to focus, im gonna (hopefully) spit out something really insightful? Who knows. I missed both classes I had this morning because I overslept due to studying in the library till 4AM. Almost a new record. OK so lets see...
I really don't get it sometimes. How can people question the existence of God? Yet, people worship man-made gods or idols? How can people doubt the existence of a Creator? Instead, people believe that this entire universe was just "sitting here"and that the planets were all created by mere chance and that the existence of life on earth was chance?
But then you must think that the universe couldn't have just been here this whole time. It couldn't have, because something cant "just be there" it had to get there somehow because something can't just decide to begin to exist!
Heres my example-if chickens only came from eggs, then where did that first egg come from?
See what I mean? theres gotta be a Creator.
Can anybody really prove to me there is no God?
Well I gonna go back to putting the stud in study.
