I have a great need for Christ; I have a great Christ for my need.

You make everything glorious....so what does that make me?

I realize that I have been slacking on blog posts....it is not that I am out of ideas but merely lacking time or I guess a real desire to write because I know this probably is never read.

Anyways...I was thinking the other day, why has the general institution of science not abandoned Anatomy/Physiology as part of the key sciences. It seems to completely contradict everything that I have learned through my studies in biology and chemistry. No big bang theory and no theory of evolution. To be honest my teacher isn't really the best, but I've learned something from the class that I did not expect to learn coming in and I know it's not the teachers intent for his students to learn this. I have learned how really amazing God can be. The human body and the way it reacts is so much more complex than I could have imagined. To think that everything could have happened by chance is not imaginable. Many of the things that our body does has been imitated in machinery that is just now coming out. If it has taken man this long to replicate what God has done, how can man go back and say that it all happened by chance? It is a shock that scientist can look at this and still be turned away from a intelligent creator. It isn't something I could understand but I would be willing to hear their opinions on the matter.

All I have is words, to which I am a slave, hoping they'll save me but im lost, oh im so lost.

I was considering writing a few things in the post, i was encouraged to post by Akersh, he even gave me some good ideas that I will cover in the future.

I guess basically to start, I will tell a little story.

There I was one the same stage that I was on almost exactly a year ago. The same church, and almost the same amount of people in the audience....To me it seemed almost the same as last year. I felt the same, a year older but really not much different...did anything actually change. Well in the second to last song I started thinking (mind you not the best thing to do while trying to sing) but I realized...I wasn't the same...I was indeed more mature, but not in the way many people would believe. This was not maturity in the way most people would say, I was hardly any more ready to live life on my own then I was a year earlier. This maturity was my own maturity...a maturity in my OWN faith that I had found and made mine....

Going on a mission trip this summer required me for my faith to be mine... my parents weren't there to defend what they believed...it was me, my mind and my bible. Yes, somethings that was taught on this trip were not true, and being bombarded by them required me to have my own faith that I could fall on in any situation.

This is the point where my heart breaks. Kids(using the term to mean older kids) today never seem to really grasp their own faith. They are so indoctrinated by their parents that they take things for granted. Not an attack against parents but a faith based on parents and not a strong personal and biblical connection will fall under the lightest of persecution. It is heartbreaking to see how many teens who were devoted Christians lose a grasp of their faith upon receiving opposition from college professors who are set to break them and have the information to support everything they say. This being said I really do encourage our generation to truly grasp our own faith, each our own, and hold it... do not falter when opposition strike because it will. Know what is true, believe it is true, live what is true.
