Operation Job Hunt

I wish I knew how to type out the "shotgun racking" noise.  Either way, I'm looking for jobs.  I found a possible job at a coffee shop in downtown Ypsilanti.  Angie works there so getting rides will be easy.  That said, I still need to get the job.  I turned in my application a while ago, and hopefully I will get the job.

If B-24's fails I don't know where else to look.  If you have any suggestions that are serious please let me know.

Now onto Bible things!  I have ideas, but I don't really know how to construe them.  I would like to talk about prayer, but talking about prayer is kind of a strange thing. 

I try to split my prayer up into four different parts: A.C.T.S.

Affirmation:  It's basically showering God with good things.  Kind of like when someone says, "Thanks for being awesome!" I totally hate affirming God because I see my attempts to  glorify Him as futile as trying to throw a rock around the world; in one throw.  Impossible.

Confession:  That's admitting your sins.  Pretty straightforward.  I also try to forgive people for stuff they have done against me as well.

Thanksgiving:  Just giving thanks to God for everything.  Nuff said.

Supplication:  That would be asking for things.

Light and Dark, Good and Evil

There are so many Bible passages I can think of that reflect the way my life has been going down.  I am going to pick a sort of long passage, but a REALLY good one.

"It is God’s will that you should be sanctified: that you should avoid sexual immorality; that each of you should learn to control your own body in a way that is holy and honorable, not in passionate lust like the pagans, who do not know God; and that in this matter no one should wrong or take advantage of a brother or sister. The Lord will punish all those who commit such sins, as we told you and warned you before. For God did not call us to be impure, but to live a holy life."
- 1 Thessalonians 4: 3-8

Sex, sex, sex that's what I want to write about.  So I know this girl who did some stuff with other guys a long time ago.  I also know a girl who is starting down that slippery slope right now.  I want to write this to show just how messed up sin is, and how much it changes peoples' lives.

I will talk about the first example first.  So, this girl I know did stuff with multiple guys I know.  This girl is in a relationship with someone else I know, and the guy she is dating knows the guys that she did this stuff with.

Let's say that the girl wasn't honest about what she did and I watched their relationship fall apart because of the dishonesty.  My friend, who was apart of the earlier scandal, and I were talking about how his actions were used by satan to really mess with this girl and her boyfriend's lives.

God uses everything for His good.  Satan does the same except it's to seriously screw with EVERYONE! 

Lesson to be learned?  Don't mess around with sex before you are married.

I don't really have much to say about the second girl, except for you should really take a second look at your life, and CUT THE CRAP OUT!!

Peace out cub scout
