So I'm sitting in my earth science class and it's boring. And easy. The only thing this class has going for it is a british professor. It has been an interesting February. The most interesting February I think I've ever experienced in my short life. And I just don't know where everything goes from here. The future just seems so much more uncertain than it ever has before. Maybe I'm just blowing this all out of proportion. Maybe life has always been as uncertain and unpredictable as I see it now. In fact, I know it has. We have no idea what's coming our way. My life could be over in 5 seconds, 5 months, 5 years, 50 years. The ceiling caves in, I have an aneurism, I'm in a car/bike wreck, I choke on a chicken bone, I'm stuck under a boulder and I don't have the guts to cut off my own arm (or I just don't have a knife, (shiver) trying to gnaw my arm off), I die peacefully in my sleep, I get an atomic bomb dropped on me. I know I'm going to die. I just don't know when or how. I don't want to stand before God and have nothing to show for the life on earth that he gave me. I was too scared, for whatever reason. I wasted my time watching movies, listening to music, buying stuff, FACEBOOK, filling my head with useless knowledge and trying to get people to like me. I'M SO SELFISH. And I hate that. It's the American Way, human nature. Jesus called us out of that. He called us to a life of community, of sacrifice, of service, putting God above all and those around us before ourselves. He calls us to spread the gospel truth in word and the way we live of Christ's death for our sins to those who do not believe. But what do I do. I know what I should do. I know that I should have no fear. But I don't do what I should. I remain fearful. I sit here and I type out a letter expressing my discontentment with the typical for all the internet to read. I'M SUCH A COWARD. Let's be good to each other. Not so that other people will think better of us, not so that they will return the favor. Let's just be good to one another because it is what we should do. And dadgummit, Sin is what's wrong with the world today and Jesus is the answer.
So my academy award predictions were a little off, so what?!
