Priorities...

Most people (especially my younger generation) have their priorities completely messed up! It's a shame that people think that material things are more important than things that should be top priority on their list. I have personally seen people who can scrape up money for marijuana, but (somehow) can't even purchase their own kitchen utensils. I mean, my parents taught me morals and values and I'm pretty sure their parents did as well, but most people walk around like they have the incapability to act like they have some common sense. I'm not saying that I'm better than anyone, I'm just saying that I'm trying to maintain the common sense that the Good Lord gave me!

Faith

Often times when things get rough, as normal people do, I just want to throw in the towel. Deep down in myself, I get a little hope and faith that I can keep going. God has brought me this far and for me to give up would just be like slapping God in the face. I would never wish to do such a thing, so I muster every little bit of strength to keep myself going. I have put so much energy and time into the things I do and to turn around and give up would be stupid.

Gunman and Shooters and Murderers, Oh My!

It seems like every year somebody wants to come and act up at our school. We had a gunman on the loose in one of our buildings. We're supposed to be feel safe, but in these ages everybody doesn't have their screws. Some people are going through hard times, but you don't have to make everybody suffer. There are plenty of agencies, churches and outreach groups that are open and willing to help, but pride is the number one factor that blocks people from receiving their blessings. Once pride is removed it won't be that hard to reach out to someone. Sometimes "help" is the hardest word to say, especially when someone is used to doing things for themselves. Prayer is the key that will help this world be a better place.

Flipping Out

Around this time of the year, I always feel overwhelmed. Whether it be with projects, test, and quizzes or just life in general. With all of the organizations I'm involved in, I feel like I swamp myself. I mean this happens every year, and every year I try to switch up the game plan to avoid feeling swamped and I somehow fall off track... into the swamp.
