A matter of the heart

So when I was putting my computer away last time I wrote in my blog, I overheard some news that I was just too tired to write about that same night. So, I will comment on this now. I heard that a young lady is selling her virginity on ebay! Seriously! There are various reasons why I was so conserned when I heard this. One, what have we as a society made of values? Do we determine success with money and a career or family and health? A little off track, a president (running our nation) being payed less than a celebrity!!! And this young lady, who wants to pay off her loans to move to her masters, has she no other option to accomplish her goals? Another concern of mine is for the young lady herself. Does she know how worthy she is? Not because of her virginity (which I give her credit for now a days that is rare), but because of who she is. She is obviously smart...moving to her masters! She is made in the image of God, like we all are. I think she has not reflected on her worth. The third reason why I am so concerned with these news is because if the authority is enforcing the control of prostitution on the streets, what is the difference with doing this in the streets and doing it thru the internet? Once again, where are our values and ethics? Where is our heart? I would, if I could, pay her the biggest bid so that she would keep her virginity. For as you should know, when you have intercourse with another person, you become one with the other person. So, if she sells herself to a guy who does not value her, or himself, or even the act of love, then... that says much about what she will end up being.

the need and freedom to express myself

So I need to just simply write everything that has stirred me lately.

1. When I heard a republican or democrat say "everyone goes thru troubles" (or something similar) in regards to the disaster that the hurricanes had caused in cuba or somewhere. The news reported on how these politicians were having great parties at night. No, not only a one night gathering, or even a ball, it was parties. Full blown out, drinking, rich women, smoking, dancin, rich men, having fun (I believe in night clubs). Ahhhhhhh! he made me soooooo angry mad. I cannot someone could say this with no regrets. Or maybe he did regret it, hopefully, when he woke up probably with a hang over. We speak about how we are so priviledged and blessed here in the United States, and some of us feel even the need and drive to help others; however, this man, did not find compassion in his heart for those who might have lost not only material things, a home, but even a family member. Ahhhhh! I am sooo upset.

2. Diplomatic Immunity!!!!!! SERIOUSLY!!!!!!!!! Ahhhhhh! Ok so, if you don't do anything wrong you should not be afraid of any law. This immunity allows diplomats to not be charged with any criminal acts. Does not sound to bad right? It was created to protect diplomats from a bad reputation from people making up stories about them. So, all of the information here, except for my biased feelings, opinions, etc. I watched it yesterday on 20/20. During the programming, at least three women spoke out about how they were mistreated, enslaved, by their owners. They would clean their mansions, and these women said that they would get paid a very small amount of money, their passports were taken away and therefore they could not leave. This is our world. Emancipation Proclamation? REALLY? Where? For how long? Because these individuals are obviously in the 21st century living without it.

3. Ok, so please somebody tell me what happens when something blows up? what happens when something explodes? I do not think that you need much time to tell me the results. Explosions = Destruction and brokeness. So when I watched the news and the particular story covering the possibility to prove true the big bang THEORY in regard to atoms coming together and creating living creatures... including you and I... I was disturbed. My heart felt low, and even little doubts shot thru. However, God tells us not to forget about logic ( Proverbs 3:21 My child, preserve sound judgment and discernment, do not let them out of your sight); and well, like I and you know, explosions do not create - they destroy. Another thing to think about, if there was an explosion, and the perfect environment was there for life to occur, then we obviously need that environment to continue living, right? Well if we have the same environment, because we are obviously living, then, can someone tell me why living creatures are not generated with every explosion that we have had on Earth. Can you imagine = explosions creating life? I don't think so, no, I know so, this theory is a LIE.

4. I pray that God blesses everyone, that He may heal the broken hearted, and may they take the opportunity to seek His help. In rememberence of all the courageous men and women who fougth to save many others while they themselves knew that they would probably not make it out safe. May God bless the children, mates, families, and friends of these remembered and highly appreciated courageous people. As well, thanks to the women and men who are truly fighting for our freedom, I appreciate it, I could not do it, thank you all for your sacrifice.

Kickoff

Today Pastor Rick Warren spoke about transformation during chapel. Why are we here on Earth? The answer(s) will be sought in a forty day study-and-apply commitment. Whomever decides to take the challenge will join a small group. In these groups, the members will read over a provided book/manual that has been written specially for college/university students. After reading and discussing what was read, the biggest challenge will be applying what was learned. Warren explained that during 40 days, one develops a habit...either a bad or good habit. I am currently working on some of my own bad habits, which include: patience, being on time, and being prepared. I think it will take a little more than 40 days for me, but I am determined to work at it. PS: What is your purpose in life? "you are not going to find the answer by looking inside of you or looking to philosophy [or even science], think about it this way, if I held a new invention that I created but you were wondering what it was for, you could either guess what it is for, or simply ask me... the inventor. The same is with us as human beings, if you don't know the purpose for your life, ask your Creator," said Warren. Ask God. Remember what God said "seek and you will find".
