the mind and the man

so i just got in a bit of a tiff with my mom. she wants me to unload the dish washer, its a rather simple request, one in which i can easily fullfill. there is one problem, the man in my mind and the real me see things difrently. in my mind i am the most gracious, giving, kind, gentle person, i am also the most overworked person on the planet. the first part is the ideal part of who i am, the second is a false perception of myself. my dad tells me perception is reality, but i disigree and the reason why is myself, i persivee myself to be very hard working and very overworked, this could not be farther from the truth, the truth is i am one of the laziest people on this planet. for example today i watched the karate kid one two and four on youtube. then i did the two chores that i was suposed to do on monday. the two chores took about 20 minutes. who i think i am and who i am are two diffrent people. i love who i think i am, but as i continue to get to know who i really i am i realize more and more i dont really like that person. at the begining of highschool i had a large groop of friends. as the four years went on it got smaller and smaller, now im more often alone than when im not. did i become more and more of a jerk as time went on, or did i stay at a certain maturity level while everyone passed me by? change is hard and usualy if something either is hard or seems hard i tend to avoid it, however, i think i need to change who i am on the outside to fit with who i am on the inside. maby this is the transformation that only Christ can bring about. i dont know all i know is this, that life is a journey and i will continue on it.

the world and the web

Christ said when we feed the hungry we feed him, we live busy lives and sometimes it not an option of going down to the local soup kitchen, well i found an answer to that connundrum. freerice.com. at freerice.com you answer vocab questions and for every question you get right they donate 20 grains of rice to a impovrished country full of starving people. this is a great way to give back to the world because you learn more vocab. i started last night and now im at 6400 grains of rice. i think it would be cool to add totals here on the blog and get over 1 million grains of rice. so lets help get rid of hunger and get smarter at the same time
