God! Yay!
When he finally arrives, blazing in beauty and all his angels with him, the Son of Man will take his place on his glorious throne. Then all the nations will be arranged before him and he will sort the people out, much as a shepherd sorts out the sheep and goats, putting sheep to his right and goats to his left.
Then the King will say to those on his right, "Enter, you who are blessed by my Father! Take what's coming to you in this kingdom. It's been ready for you since the world's foundation. And here's why:
I was hungry and you fed me,
I was thirsty and you gave me a drink,
I was homeless and you gave me a room,
I was shivering and you gave me clothes,
I was sick and you stopped to visit,
I was in prison and you came to me."
Then those "sheep" are going to say, "Master, what are you talking about? When did we ever see you hungry and feed you, thirsty and give you a drink? And when did we ever see you sick or in prison and come to you?" Then the King will say, "I'm telling the solemn truth: Whenever you did one of these things to someone overlooked or ignored, that was me-- you did it to me."
That inspired me to be kind to people. So I decided to start talking to people I don't normally talk to. And I decided to start being nice (and not telling people to die.).
I decided to be nice to a girl that sits in front of me in Alg III, b/c she doesn't appear to have any friends in that class. We don't really talk or anything but she asks me questions. And I am nice to her so far. Yes!
Ohh and then at lunch I was nice and I sat down by Joseph! He was sitting w/ Cody O'Hara and Nathan Holliday, but they weren't talking to him b/c they were quite involved in their chess game. I'm not joking. So I sat w/ Joseph and then Lindsey saw me and she went over there and then we had 3 or 4 people over there. Joseph is nice.
And I am trying real hard to be friendly to Coach Streater b/c he doesn't appear to be a friendly sort of fellow (he's the guy that didn't want any donuts.), so I try to be nice to him and I'm finding that he is friendly when you start talking to him. It's only in front of the class that he's all mean and ... coach-y. He was even kind enough to introduce me to the dead cat that lives in our file cabinet. I'm not sure why, but we've had a dead kitty in there since last year. He said the reason it doesn't smell funky is b/c of "formaldehyde", and I remember one time my pa bought insulation that said x% LESS FORMALDEHYDE! and he thought it was odd b/c he didn't know there was formaldehyde in insulation, and apparently it's something that kills you. Anyway, I poked the dead kitty in the mouth, and I was like Yep, that's a dead cat alright. I believe you now.
Ooh and I decided to befriend a new girl named Ashley. So I talked to her today and it turns out she's Tyler Colbertson's step-sister! I did not know he had any siblings at all. So she turned out to be nice.
Ooh and I was nice to Chad Yoder, but only a little bit.
And I am nice to Amy. and Cassie. and AJ Lonewolf (he humors me).
Ooh and there's this kid that lives by me, he's Jeramey Diaz's cousin, and I offered him a ride home the other day. He didn't need one though. FINE! Just kidding.
And I wrote down the names of people that I can think of who I run into a lot, and should be especially nice to. God gived me those people to be nice to!! So I'm trying real hard. It must sound like I have a really shallow relationship w/ God when my deepest conviction is "Be nice." But anyways, I was thinking That'd be kind of funny if someone found this and thought it was my hit list. Then I'd have to explain to Rags that it's really my Nice List, and he would think I was a strange person.
Hey today Coach told me GOOD JOB and I was like WHOA I think that's the 2nd time you've ever said that to me. The other time was after this meet at some army base, the one where I was almost to the end and I was trying to run fast, but then I started gagging and I had to stop and dry-heave. Yummy, eh? Anyways, after I was done w/ that race, he told me GOOD JOB. He's not much for encouragement.
I called my art teacher "Teacher" all week b/c I always forget her name, but she requested that I call her Ms. Brewer now. I don't see why it matters. She can call me STUDENT if she would like, it makes no difference to me.
OH I was nice to another person today. I was talking to Sara Garrett when this lady walked up, and apparently she is a sub, but she didn't know where to go so I escorted her to Coach Odam's room. And then it turns out I've already met her, I just forgot. She is kind though.
Okay goodnight.
