Katie101's Blog

Well it's summer which means I have a lot more time on my hands now that school is out. I come here often to see what's going on, to see who's griping about what, to see who's calling who a fool, to see what mess the JeffCo commission or Bham City Council is making with their own collective geniuses at the helm.....to see how high gas prices are (as if I don't already know) yada yada yada....however, I am reminded of a very troubled man in the Bible who, although made many mistakes, also wrote Psalms from which I take my strength from daily.........

People worrying about gas prices. I'm not inclined to do so. Why? David said in Psalms 37:25- "...I have never seen the righteous forsaken or his seed begging bread...." Hmmmm....so why worry?

People worrying about who the next president will or WON'T be......Why? David said in Psalms 18:2 "The LORD is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I will trust; my buckler, and the horn of my salvation, and my high tower"....Hmmmmm x 2.....so does it really MATTER who becomes president? Has it really MATTERED to Christians before? We're still here, right?

People worrying about those of alternative lifestyles....well, in my Bible...Genesis 1:28 to be exact, it says "Be fruitful and multiply..." With that being said, I like men and I think men are supposed to like me. Soooooooooo, gather from that what you will. (Hint: But it's kinda hard to multiply when the tools don't fit together.....)

Seriously though: People should be worried about people's souls. On every block, there is a church. On every corner, there is a church. We are distracted. People's souls are going to hell and in the meantime, we concern ourselves with minute issues that amount to nothing in the sight of God. Jesus himself told us in Matthew to love our enemies and to pray for those who persecute us. Wasn't the greatest commandment of them all to love?

I lost a friend yesterday- a young man who was a great person and who still had a lot of life to live. It is not a time to be bitter, people. It is not a time to be pointing fingers and calling names whether in malice or in jest. It is time to be the Christians that the world bets we cannot be: Christians who really stirve to be Christ-like. I say all of this in love and with that being said, Katie is headed to the beach!!!!!!!
