there are many many things i do not know or understand in this world. how do we get through it without going insane. everything moves so fast, there is not enough time to think and process all the information that is thrown at us. people are measured by the amount of 'stuff' on their schedules. if you have a lot of stuff you must be an important part of society. if you don't do a lot of 'stuff' u must be lazy and a drain. i have to say this is very wrong thinking. it is better to do few things and do them well, take your time and put your heart in to them. people need time to breathe, to smell the roses to enjoy life.

so many things have been clouding my mind lately. Question about me, who am I and what is it i believe? really, specificly...

Who is Jesus Christ? was he a good man? yes. was he a teacher? yes. Is he the messiah? I believe He is...
"Everything good I know, everything decent i know, everything pure i know, i learned from Jesus. He castigated paople. He was angry. People don't think of him that way,but they don't read the bible. He had a righteous anger. He cared for the oppressedand exploited. there's no question that he had the highest moral standard, the least duplicity, the greatest compassion, of any human being in history. There have been many wonderful people, but Jesus is Jesus."
~Templeton, agnostic

I do not understand how this man could see Jesus and all the good he does, believe that He speaks the truth, but deny the most important truth that Jesus speaks. He is God. I don't understand how people can see God, know him and turn away from Him. so many truths ring through my ears that are undenyable to me.

I was talking to a friend of mine the other day and she was bringing up random questions such as 'if alien life was found would that disprove God?' i asked how that would disprove God and she said 'Because it is not mentioned in the bible' ... that seems totally off the wall to me. Personally the only alioen life i believe in is Christ follers on earth, we do not belong here, this is not our home. Heaven is our home, and we will always feel out of place here. as far as creatures from other planets i don't think they exist. but i also do not think it is a relevant concern. I think it is one of those things people over think. they are looking of a reason to not believe.

Templeton once stated that the having faith in Christ was too easy. He felt there needed to be some difficult aspects to it. In a sense it is easy, all you have to do is believe that Christ had a purpose and that was to live perfectly so He could die for our sins. He died for us so we could be free.

Now some people would laugh at that and say 'whatever, you 'christains' are slaves to your religion.' and if you look at it that way, everyone is a slave to something. A slave to sin, imorality, greed... i would rather be a slave to love and goodness and be set free from sin and the destruction it causes.

God is amazing, God is love God is everything i will ever need.

......it is interesting where the mind takes you if you let it lead for a while.
