just to ramble

I noticed myself doing something earlier this week. I think we all probably struggle with it from time to time.

I was thinking about the people in the cold.. and how I wanted to do something for them. And I immediately shut myself down because I knew I couldn't house these people, and I knew it wasn't very safe for me to try to pick up a walking stranger. I guess my point is that we should try to find ways around the things we CAN'T do with the things we CAN do. I realized that it would be SO easy to just have a cup of coffee or hot chocolate in my car and hand it to someone that is obviously cold. I know that's not a whole lot, but it's something. I would absolutely appreciate it if the shoe was on the other foot. This was pretty random, I am aware.

Lately, I've been pretty sad. Not in all aspects of life, because I'm totally and completely happy in my relationship with Kevin. But there are definately some holes. I miss my friends. I miss my family. I don't want to be an adult. I think the latter of it all really sums it all up. Growing up is the worst thing that's ever happened to me. I'm sure as time passes it will get better because it will become more comfortable. I guess I also am struggling with the fact that my "Growing up" seems to be so much harder than most kids my age's growing up processes have been. I know it's pretty selfish of me to "feel bad for myself" because in all reality I have a pretty great life. I'm just tired of stressing about paying for school. I could technically take the easy way and just take out some loans and be in debt forever. I'm sure I'll appreciate myself later in life when I'm not up to my ears in student loans. But right now it really sucks. I'm always working and I'm always doing school work. College is supposed to be fun.

enough of the pity party I suppose.

Atleast Bama is number 1!

Whoever happens to read this, just pray that I can accept my situation and find some peace in it.

Thanks guys, I miss you all so much.

well

I think I have come to realize something. I have a terrible habit of talking about people.. Not necessarily badly, but just talking about others.

why is everyone else's life so much more interesting than mine?!


anyways, how's everyone that might happen to read this doing? I miss you all.

This is..

Capital Punishment

This is my first blog in the round. I was assigned Capital Punishment by hand-off.
I'm very opinionated on this subject, so, this should be interesting.
I feel like Capital Punishment is wrong and cannot be justified in the way that many people try to justify it. Most people would say that they deserve death. And, while I agree, there are many people that deserve the death that comes to them, I still don't feel like it is our place to determine weather or not that person deserves life. I know this can be a very controversial topic. I am not trying to offend anyone. If it were me that had lost someone to a murderer or a drunk driver, or whatever the case may be; Of course, I would feel feelings of remorse and want the worst thing possible to happen to that person. That is just human nature. But, those of us that do live in the Faith that Jesus set for us can't possibly find a good reason to say that killing another is OKAY. It isn't. The main thing that comes to mind is that Jesus said to turn the other cheek. I know that is such a cliché saying, and in that, it is much easier said than done. The way I see it is, every person that God put here, he saw value enough in him or her to give them life. Who are we to say God made a mistake? That is what it would be right? Why should we determine who should live or die? I didn't create anyone, though I hope to have part in that one day, I still have not decided to give life to anything. And really, even though biologically we, as humans, do give life to others, we don't really. God breathed life into Adam and Eve. So really, isn't God life's creator? Jesus said that the way we treat the least of these, is the way we treat him. I wouldn't want to be handed the gold star for killing Jesus.. Isn't that what we would call a murderer? The Least? I would. I think that the drive that pushes someone to kill another is a psychological sickness.

Basically, I know this hasn't been that great. But, I don't feel like we have, or would even want to have, if it came down to it, the responsibility of deciding who gets to live and die. I wouldn't want someone deciding if I was valuable enough to have life. God did that for us.
