REVIVAL. Every beleiver struggles and has those moments where they fall into a rut -I'm ready to clean up my act and try a bit harder at living life the way I thought I would- tomorrow-tomorrow- which has become my Yesterdays. I don't plan on getting "preachy" either but I recognize I haven't even been a good example of a Christian. And it has been said to me many times before that good Christians never feel like they're good enough- but I - come up with excusses- and I - don't think the world has much time- let alone the country- do what we can to change things - and I - must start with myself. -My actions- My words- My reasons for breathing and spending barrowed time-
I wish I could help the cause of our nations current state as much as I beleive Glenn is just by having the balls to talk about REAL issues. -it's time for a REVIVAL.
Exactly. I'm so excited over this change in me, and I'm not letting it go this time. What I think, and what I am alredy seeing is that if I start with me I will affect everyone around me... and 'the know' will spread. =)
Ren...you made my already wet eyes wetter ^.^;... wow... I'm sorry I said I didn't care, its not that I don't care about the nation, its that I never gave much thought of how the topic as a whole affects people... I still am unsure... to me it seamed like a mindless fued. But I'll watch the clip and try to find others. and yes once I move I will watch Glen with you guys... as for now thats asking a bit too much of me, you already know how awcward it is for me to ask for anything...espechilly something like the TV. I admit too, I haven't been acking like a follower of Christ, I was actually just thinking about that before I viseted your LJ... you have no idea, how raleved and happy I am rate now...I'm going to go pray about it! =') Thank you Renz... I might just take you up on that offer for a shoulder to cry on.
I understand that you said it, not because you didn't really care about the issues, but because you have many close friends that disagree with your opinion on many things already and to pay attention to the political issues and to really think about them would only expand that rift. Even if you gained an opinion, you wouldn't change a mind.
That is true - that people don't change other people's opinions by opposing them, but you forget - and I forgot - that it is by example that we teach. More so, it is necessary to know the issues in order to make your own living choices according to your opinion. What to spend money on and what not to spend money on - who to vote for or who not to support - who to watch and who not to... Those little things might not seem like much and you are only one person, but one person matters in a world based on individuals. One person can become two, and two becomes four... you do have the power if you choose to use it

These words make me question my own methods. Have I been a closet Christian as well? It would seem so.
My entire essence wants to go to Heaven, yet I still hold myself back (contradicting my first statement). The thought of you going and me never being able to see you makes me so terribly sad, let alone all the others I wouldn't see.
I'm extremely proud of your decision and I'll help in any way I can.
