life is a funny thing

Step back, just for a second or for an hour. Just take the time to look around you outside of your normal viewpoint. The world looks different from a third person perspective. A girl at my school showed me this a few weeks ago and I thought it was amazing. Everything that people do looks ridiculous from a different viewpoint. There are the girls in the circle of the court yard gossiping and trying out a new member for their “click”. The new girl is obviously miserable and uncomfortable, but apparently being part of this circle is worth it. Then there are the cool guys on a corner, another boy (probably the nicest one in the school) tries to talk to them, and they pretend to listen and then ignore him and force him out of the circle. The boy leaves and finds a different group of nicer people to hang out with, boys and girls alike are hear, they have decided that happiness is better than popularity and they all stand together laughing. The girl in her new circle is still miserable but popular. The truth is that high school and even the world are funny places. The nicer people are better to be around but apparently being nice isn’t cool so they are not popular, but there are actually as many of them as the supposed popular kids. What does this tell me? Viewpoint is everything. The nice ones are the ones that I would call popular because they are the ones that I could talk to and not feel like screaming at. The next time you feel awkward take a step back and you wont. Being cool is in our head anyway, but the nice people are truly cool. Oh and if anyone from my school reads this know that at lunch if you see me alone it is because I am a lonely outcast, it is because I enjoy watching dumb people create their own misery when they would be welcome 20 feet away.

My Creed

God the Father is the omniscient omnipresent omnipotent creator of the universe. God the father controls and knows all things; past, present and future. The father has divinely ordained all things. He is the unchanging perfect God of the Bible.
God the spirit is responsible for acting on the hearts and minds of all men. He is divinely responsible for turning all elect Christians to God. The Spirit is responsible for removing and placing the restraining hand of God on the hearts of all men, according to the father’s will. The spirit is responsible for the divine inspiration of the scripture. The Spirit is also responsible for convicting the hearts of men as to their sin.
The Son was sent to earth by the Father as a perfect sacrifice to save the souls of all men who believe. He came to earth and died to save sinful people that persecuted him and he rose again on the third day to fulfill the messianic covenant. Jesus was fully man and fully God in one on earth.
Man was created in God’s image at the beginning of time. Man was created without sin but through disobedience corrupted himself and became innately sinful. Men are then saved by faith in Christ’s sacrifice and can now spend eternity with God in heaven. Men around the world will see Christ’s saving glory during the second coming. Man’s salvation is completely due to Christ and God’s plan, for man is unable and to save himself.
