I don't know what it is, but lately I've been doing a lot of thinking about the state of my heart. Literally and spiritually speaking. Literally, my blood pressure and pulse rate are normal by the measurement of the Wal-Mart blood pressure sleeve, but I've been having some chest pains and I don't know if they're from eating too many fatty foods, like Morgan Spurlock in Supersize Me, or if they're from indigestion. In either case, chest pains suck so I'm trying to eat more "leafy greens" and more vegetables in general. This should lead to a more healthy body because, we all know, I hate to work out or run or do anything like that at all. Spiritually, my heart is doing better. I've gone to church over the break, which was great because the fellowship with other believers is amazing. Sadly, I've not experienced such a spiritual revelation or a spiritual "drunkenness," as Jeremy would call it, but I have realized that a church is where I should be. I should be growing and becoming more like Christ in my life. This is a hard thing to do especially given my major and reading the things that I have to read which constantly criticize Christianity and show me that the world does view Christians like bumbling idiots or closed minded fanatics with a mentality and drive to convert or condemn the world. I hope I don't come across as one of these charlatans. I've lived in a world like that before and I don't want anything to do with it anymore. So, all that said, I am going to be going to the House Church on Thursday nights at Jake's as that will be the only place where I can find spiritual nourishment this semester. I'll be working my Security Assistant job on Friday and Saturday nights which will leave me with no motivation to go to church on Sunday mornings. I'm usually wiped out at 7:30 in the morning after my shift is over.
Anyway, it's been a long time since I've updated this thing. Usually, I'm good about posting everyday during a break from school, but I guess the livejournal has not been that high of a priority lately. I am getting older, in fact, the day we return to school is the day I turn 24. That's Monday the 9th... I don't know what else to say about it.
