It's almost over now..
Wow, its almost impossible to believe that the summer is almost over and I am pasty in comparison to Casper (the friendly ghost). I suppose it is hard to get a killer tan when 26 days of your summer were spent in a hospital bed, but I should really start working on it.
Today was challenging to say the least. A day full of obstacles if you will. The challenge began when I promised myself I would not eat a single treat all day ( this I succeeded in if you don't count half of a disgusting tweety bird candy's foot), the next obstacle arose when Angie and I were swamped in work, and I mean swamped we worked up until 4:03 which is techinically off the clock (and people say gov't employees are a waste of air), another challenge I faced was abs at the gym (apparently I forgot that when they cut through your stomach muscles you can't do 300 crunchies like you used too, I did a sad 185...) but the final challenge was when I was faced with a dichotomy of forcing myself to see both sides of human nature.
This action inherently reminded me that many people in this world abuse the power of God, and I am not one of them. I don't pretend to be enlightened spiritually, and I do not judge those who question the existence of a higher power. I have recently started to believe in Jesus, because I have wanted to after spending years of questioning his existence. Anyways, back to the matter at hand. Abuse of Faith. 2 people who I have recently met claim to be firm believers in the way of Jesus Christ. One of them prays before meals, the other lectures on how important she values the system of church and her Catholic beliefs. They hind behind a mirage of faith to mask the seriousness of their inner battles, which irritates me. One of these women is inherently coniving, which I have witnessed today as she sabotaged the career of an innocent man.
Since I have began to believe it is important to practice some of the bible's teachings (some being the oppouritive word) I looked at the situation from all angles to find a shred of compassion for this girl. Instead I found fury and dissarray. For a person who claims to be so "faithful" she used deceit and personal agendas to further her advantage. She didn't practice any of Jesus' teachings which she claims on a daily basis are so important. What about the act of forgiveness? What about "do unto others as you would have them do unto you", what about love all men and see only goodness first before evil, what about second chances. Fu*ck she could have had a very simple confrontation with the person in question and cleared the whole matter up FAIRLY, but instead she went behind his back and forced punitive damages on a person who committed no crime. I hope all works out when she gets struck with lightening the next time she walks into church, and she better find something else to hide behind, because as far as I am concerned she is as religious as my cat!
