Lose the poison

Life can be fulfilling, just empty your cup of all the poison ~ Dlam-town

They dont have to practice what they preach!

They say practice what you preach. I bet you are saying "yeah, thats right, I'm tired of these Christians telling me to do this and they end up doing that". Sure they do mess up in a spectacular fashion, but that is not why I'm bringing this phrase to your attention. I am bringing it to your attention because I suddenly think the phrase is meant to make you not to listen to reason. Why do I say such, well its because of something I read which said most of what you heard and read from those that came before you might be wrong and if it is important to you just research it to make sure. For example: the lion is the king of the jungle, but the lion doesnt live in a jungle or the earliest bird catches the fatest worm, but Apple inc only started selling their iPhone in 2007 when companies like Motorola had a head start, but they are far behind now , Justin Bieber won the American Music Awards' most important category in his early teens. So what I'm saying here is that the one who is trying to sell a better life to you or giving you advice doesnt have to have lived that life or have done the thing that they are advocating. The only thing that you need to decide is whether it is something that you would like for yourself or not. Just in case you are still wondering if this is hogwash or not, think of it like this: in sports, the best teams and athletes have managers or coaches that would otherwise be unknown were it not for these athletes and most of the managers have never reached the top of the fields that their in, but they help others achieve greatness. So the best you can do for yourself is think of yourself as a ghetto Usain Bolt who can run fast, but doesn't know which shoes to wear to make sure he doesn't wake up with blisters on his feet. How will you celebrate the victory the next day if you can't stand up?

A lil faith in yourself

Would have loved not to say anything about this, but here goes: Christianity has brought a lot of opportunities to people who would otherwise be considered inferior. Culture says respect the king for he knows better, Christianity says respect God for he brought you a brother and sister who will take care of you when in need, sure they sometimes dont, only because their father gave them choice. It amuses me to here people say "God has taken him/her back" when someone dies. Personally I think we die at a young age for one of two reasons, because we have not lived up to what God wanted us to do or we have served our purpose. Everyday we wake up with dreams, but we dont persue them because of fear and our fears exist because we refuse to believe that which created our dreams (God). Ask anyone who has achieved anything worth while, they had to ignore their fears no matter who they are. As kids we dreamt of being great, but we met up with resistance, not from the people who told us it wasn't possible, but from that nagging feeling that said "look around you, can something great come out from this?" and you said maybe not. Sure you were right, because your Father gave you the ability to create that which you believe. Believe and act is that all you are being asked. Is that too much to ask of you? I could go on forever about this, but what do I know!
