YES!


School's out! Hallelujah!
Anyways it's that time of year once more. FUN TIME! I like fun time, it has lots of parties and get togethers and joy. We all enjoy joy at any time of year, but we have lots of joy now. Oh yes, and a certain someone is in town for a while. That is also enjoyable. It you have any desires of booking me and/or the girlie, you can feel free to contact me, because that's what the holidays are all about.

Piecing God Together

Yesterday night me and Melissa got into something of a debate about human nature (to start off with). One of us had a more positive view than the other, anyways, during the topic the idea of predestination also came up, which we had agreed on for the most part. I've never liked the ideas of Mr. John Calvin very much when it comes to this topic, but Melissa played devil's advocate a little bit and it got us thinking.
If God is a teacher, what kind of teacher do you think he is? Is God a dictator who controls everything that goes on in the classroom. That is a low risk, low reward method. Or does God allow students to learn for themselves even if sometimes this will cause more problems? Some of the best experiences in learning have come when I've had a teacher who has implemented the second. It is trickier, but done right, it works. That is like God. When we say God is in control, what we mean is that God can intervene anytime he wants to. He is right there in the classroom, but he is letting you act for yourself. I find this one of the most beautiful things about God. He values us so much that he'll let us fail. This way we can realize God's love for us and love him more.
I loved God a lot last night. I was on the verge of tears, which would have been a little odd, although I like happy tears.
The other lesson I learned from this is that God loves people and so should I.
