another semester is done. i feel no different, i do not see any obvious signs of improvement in my person, rather i feel like i have digressed in my character as a whole.

not much means anything to me any more. i almost cant feel. its not that i dont want to not feel, but i just cant feel. i guess thats an overstatement, there are many things i care about, but i think im tired, ready for a change, ready to see a new part of the world, a part of the world where i feel like i can make a difference.

i dont know if im bored with my place in life at this point, but whatever has caused my lethargy has got me down. its hard to pin point, but i know there is something inside giving me hope, but its unknownness is not much help. its one of those indescribable feelings. its like a flint that has all the possibility of being sparked but the matchstick is missing. its something that is outside me. its something that bigger than me.

i dont feel like i can write any more. if i would write i would write about something that meant something to me, but i cant find anything that does so my writing is about me and my not having something to write about. how unfortunate.

whats happening in my life right now?
-im in school full time, a christian, evangelical, graduate school
-im working, an office job
-i like a girl, i dont think she even knows.
-i have little connection to my immediate family, except my parents and steph.
-im in a city that only cares about my money
-i live with two men... i have lived with men for the las 8 years. ughhh!!
-my friends are many, but i dont have close relationships except with a couple
-i dont have a lot of money and the money i do have goes to school.

maybe these things are tiring me. maybe i have set myself up for disappointment. at sometimes i wish i was like every other hometown guy who grows up, goes to school, gets a job, gets married and just exists. i dont even know what i want.

You and Whose Army?

America elects a pro-choice candidate and suddenly my fellow Christian brothers and sisters head for the hills screaming the world has come to an end. Are not abortion rates much higher in several other countries? Why aren't we just as concerned about "life" in those countries? America elects an economically progressive candidate and people are screaming "socialism" preparing for a Rapture. (An mid-1800's invention of conservative Christian theology). Doesn't America know that Democracy is one of the youngest political philosophies to be employed? Why do we think the fate of the world depends on the success of our economical and political philosophies? America is struggling economically, and Jesus is now coming back to rescue his 2000 year old church from this difficult tribulation. Doesn't America remember that its only 232 years old? Why does God's blessing equate with monetary blessing? Why do American Christians constantly tie the end of the ...

RECONCILIATION: A DIVINE INITIATIVE

THE DoCTRINE of Reconciliation : Who needs to be reconciled? Mankind. Why do we need reconciliation? Because we have chosen in our rebellion and pride to break from our Creator who will judge our actions righteously. How are we reconciled? By Christ - God made man. Who is inherently worthy of reconciliation? No one. Why does God reconcile? Because he loved before the foundation of the world. Who benefits from reconciliation? Only mankind.   Emanuel, God is with us. The doctrine of reconciliation begins with the action of God: an action which God determined before the foundation of the world, an action taken on behalf of all mankind, and all mankind alone. Christ, the Work and Word of God, became one of us on behalf of us not because of compulsion or duty, but because of His gracious goodness and redeeming love. God is with us in that He is “for” us, in that He became “one of” us, in that He “took” our place in judgment.  ...
