Random

Just some random stuff that's poped into my head after reading everyone elses blog.

Inspired by Dawns blog and Josh's post on it (the one with the picture of the little old lady):

I think in North America we need to have the scales removed from our eyes. I've said multiple times in the past that part of the problem with our nation is that our faith isn't challenged like it is in other countries. We are not faced with the choice of "Jesus and Death, or life"

But is that the case? Are we not actually faced with that decision every day? Sure no one is going to chop off our heads if we don't renounce christ. But does that mean the decisions we make every day aren't life and death? If we make the wrong ones doesn't it mean eternal death? It's hard to see though, it's hard to put into perspective something that doesn't have effect here and now.

I fully believe that North America (Or any 1st world nation with freedom of religion) has been a proving and refining ground for the enemy. In a lot of nations your faith is challenged directly with the aformentioned life and death choice. In North America we have freedome of religion, the right to choose if we want to serve Jesus, or Budha (though strictly speaking I don't think Budhism is an actual religion), or allah, or Bafomat, or who ever else we might choose. We also have a rampant apathy (Def. - Lack of interest or concern, especially regarding matters of general importance or appeal; indifference.) that has flooded our nation. People don't care, even people who care don't care. I say it all the time that Apathy is one of the things that angers me the most. I see it in our youth, in our adults, our companys, our friends. But I just can't seem to pry my self off my apthatetic ass (Pardon my language) to do anything about it. It's so easy for people to be couch warriors. Saying we'll go were God say, do what God says, and do both when he Says. Then sit on our couch waiting for the phone to ring. There's lots that needs to be done, and I don't think we need an audible word from God to go out and do it. But there on my couch I sit.

I'm starting to ramble so i'm going to end that particular verbal diareeha.

I had some other stuff I wanted to write about, but after that last bit i'm drawing a blank on what it was. So i'm going to stop writing (it's 10:39 so my break is over) and i'll come back to it at lunch and finish it up.

Well i'm on lunch now, and i'm eating triscuits with melted cheese, and it's good. But I still can't remeber what else I was going to write so i'm done for now.

Peace
