Haha, I finally get to put my computer skills to good use.
Anyway today I was talking to Karyn at lunch ( and yes Ashley you were there, I didn't forget about you.) and on Wednesday she proposed ( mm, proposed is such a lame word, how bout we use, oh I don't know, furnish, I do love furniture) the idea of making a website for the youth, so I sat down in my programming class and got to work making templates for the idea. It's looking interesting so far, but Karyn and I will have to get to together and come up with what to put on the site, and furthermore ( mmm, lets use conjointly instead, now there is a fun word ^_^) you guys, well mostly gals, can forward ideas of what should go on the site.
Oh and there will be a forum on the site, but I have to remember how to do forums, I'm going to have to talk with some people in my class on monday, and get together with Marc-Jon one day, as he and them can help me with that.
Alright back to homework and sleep.

The Sanctimonious Camaraderie
If you know what those two words mean than you must know what I'm going to talk about next.
We live in the most akward and mis-singled world imaginable.
We wake up to a term of equality and yet society still pulls us into the contrast that if we looked as good as the person on that poster sporting those pulchritudinous pair of jeans we will not be mocked by our eonic syndicate thats says one thing but does a total opposite, and that we will be the picture of true transcendence.
If you read John 3: 1-24
You may find that it doesn't matter to God what you look like or how you dress or even how much sin you have, god wants us to except him for whom he is, and that is our savior. After all he did die for our sins, and if we want to except him for whom he is, we have to first be able to except ourselves as who he created us to be.
What society directly opposes the word of God? Why is it that in society these days that a "wuse" is a person who crys when they fall down.
"My soul thirsts for God, for the living God. When can I go and meet with God? My tears have been my food day and night, while men say to me all day long, "Where is your God?" These things I remember as I pour out my soul: how I used to go with the multitude, leading the procession to the house of God, with shouts of joy and thanksgiving among the festive throng."
Psalm 42: 2-4
God wants us to shed tears in front of him, for then we are pouring out to him, and with truth and sincerity in our moment of insecurity. We should no longer cling to this world's ideals but we should pour out to God. Then can we be free from our bonds to society and truely be ready to worship God and enter his kingdom he has prepared for us.

PS. I let up on using too many big words... Karyn have fun reading.

Man school is terrible...
Anyway who was there on Tuesday that night I ranted on about school, should actually read this closely. Cory interrupted my actual point behind this, so I'd be better if you actually read all this.
With that said time for one of my crazy inane rants.
So seriously your reading my blog, and chances are you are, have been, or never will again, go to school.
Seriously anyone who likes school must not be totally there or they are really skipping classes to hang out with their friends. News flash, that doesn't count.
Now don't get me wrong, learning is awesome but there are things about school that just plain suck.
Right now I'm pretty much talking about High school but people in College and university can relate.
Lets list off some things that make school a drag:
Oh man I love the
command. Anyway where was I?
Oh yes. We go to school to have it drilled in our heads that this foot in the door is the only chance we will have, and if we screw up now, our whole lives we be screwed. Harsh words, but really thats the plain truth of what we our told from grade 4 till we graduate college. If we don't do well in Grade 10 Math for example, we won't do well in Grade 11 math, and then without Grade 11 math we won't graduate... blah blah blah. Really it's only up to us to commit to passing and doing well, heck I could just plain not try in Math 10 and get a pass and then in Grade 11 get straight A's because I started to care. My point is, how much stress do we face when we go to schools and find out that even though we are giving full effort we find out that "Brent, your not trying hard enough". I got that from my socials teacher in grade 10. He told me I wasn't trying. I got a B. Not trying, heck I worked my butt off for a B, he doesn't know me... I think I'm just frustrated with schools lying to us. That if we screw up in school our whole lives will be ruined.
Heres my point, it doesn't matter what job you have, what grades you get in school, or even if you graduated or not. We are equal in the eyes of god. God loves us for who we are, not how good or bad we do in school. Now if schools taught that in schools, maybe we wouldn't have 80% of the suicide rate in Canada being Highschool kids.
I'm not saying don't try... I saying that this isn't all there is in life. School is just the beginning, remember your still young, and you have a life to do what you want. With that said I'd also like to meation one big important fact. This realm isn't just it. I mean I'd rather spend my time in school helping my friends to know god and end up in heaven then get good grades.
Instruct a wise man and he will be wiser still; teach a righteous man and he will add to his learning.
Proverbs 9:9
We can learn all the knowledge in the world, and still be idiots. Idiots for not choosing God.
The only way we can suceed is with God. I can't be more blunt than that. I don't mean succeed as in have the most money or a nice car, or being the smartest or the fastest or the strongest, or the most beautiful as this world and the society even in our school tells us we have to be. Why do we go to school? Do we learn about God at school now a days? No, we learn so we can go to college, and get a degree so we can get a career. Thats not what the bible tells us is the most important thing to do. I notice more and more that we as christians in this area of work, yes going to school is considered an occupation, decide that we our to busy to listen to what tells us to do. The next time you get home, think about what you do first. Your homework or do you thank god for helping you get through another day at school?
Well...
That was a really mean blog so I will allow you to enjoy my little pic by pic comic I made.
Here is me in Programming Class

- Lame Teachers, you know the ones that aren't doing their job of actually teaching you. Heck most people hate teachers for the next reason and that is...
- Homework, I for one don't mind it, but it takes time, hey if I could get out of doing homework, I would. But apparently it helps your progress in school.
- The collective attitude that what you do now effects your entire life. I mean seriously who has heard their teacher say that if you fail this test you will end up with a bad grade? As we all no bad grades will ruin the rest of our lives for all eternity right? No? Then why does it seem like the entire school makes you think that.
Seriously I have no idea how to run this pointless composing box on this blog, so I'm switching over to HTML mode because I am really comfortable with it.
