FTW
I have recently come across a Tattoo that had the inscription FTW written upon it. Now of course this acronym is not new to me, but it did make me think. First I thought of what the three letters stood for, “F*** The World.” Then I pondered and agreed with the statement; well I agreed with what it said, not what it meant. I don’t agree that you hate everything and turn back on everyone, but instead I agree with Screw the world, (I changed it to screw because it’s easier and I don’t like saying or typing the F-bomb). Screw the world meaning, forgetting and turning your back on worldly and material things.
This made me think of how in high school I put this saying into motion. In high school I never got good grades, because I always thought it was pointless, because no matter what grades we got in school or what medals and awards we won, we couldn’t take them with us if we died. Of course my parents didn’t like that, so I tried to skim by with the lowest passing score possible so I wouldn’t have to stay in high school the rest of my life. I have no regrets in my decision to do this. I had failed and had to go another half a year of high school, my grade point average was so low I couldn’t get into the college I wanted to (I didn’t want to go, but if I had to.), and I couldn’t get a job right from high school, those are not why it made it worth it. Because of all those bad things came good things like: I met the love of my life, I found a perfect starting job that I am awesome at, and I’ve learned from my hardships and have been able to help others going through the same things I went through.
Now I’m not saying nothing matters and you shouldn’t do anything, because that’s not what I’m saying. I’m merely saying God has a plan for all of us and it doesn’t matter how many trinkets and shiny things we have. What does matter is what we do with what we were given and trying to get to our home that God is preparing for us. The words I love best come from a song called, “Three Wooden Crosses,” it says, “I guess it’s not what you take when you leave this world behind you, but what you leave behind you when you’re gone.” I know how hard it is to trust something you can’t see, but you have to take my advice and make a leap of faith, the wonderful things are endless. I’m not saying that once you follow and accept God into your life that everything on Earth will be gumdrops and rainbows, but when you die you have an insurance plan that has you covered for all eternity. So I say screw the world, Satan wants you to go to hell, (I don’t know why, I personally think he has enough friends down there.) and he tries to trick you with worldly things that you don’t need. So I’m asking you right now, if you haven’t already, Accept the Lord into your heart and follow him, because if you don’t I guarantee your eternity won’t be insured.
Sincerely,
Jeffrey Evans
