It's been a long time

I haven't really felt too inspired to write anything... but here's some things I want to touch on.

  • Boy Meets Girl - Is a book by Joshua Harris I'm currently reading.  I encourage  all college aged students to read it.  Caution:  This is not a relationship book for anyone under the age of 17.  It's not a graphic book, younger high schoolers however would have trouble relating.
  • Well known auther Benjamin Wilkinson, author of the Prayer of Jabez spoke at Convo today.  He gave an interesting sermon.  He called it the three chair sermon.  The chairs were based on generations, based on an illustration out of the book of Joshua.
    • Chair One:  The generation of our Grandparents, and SOME of our Parents, my parent's fall into this Chair.  People who actively serve God.  People who strive every day toward discipleship and truely following God.
    • Chair Two:  The generation below our Grandparents.  Most of our parents.  They grew up watching Generation One, but never figured out why or how they were so close with God.  They grew up in Church.  They have some semblance of a relationship with God  They are still saved, still going to Heaven, but are very lackadaisical in their faith.
    • Chair Three:  This generation is my generation, or partly future generations.  They saw how their parents, the one's in chair two acted, so lackadaisical toward God, they don't see the point in it.  They don't see anyworkds in Chair Two's live's.  There is simply no point to follow a God.
This challenged me, and I encourage those who haven't heard this message, try to find it online somewhere, because he tells it much better than I do, and it will change your whole outlook on your faith.

On another note, looks like it's about to get wet.  Rain all next week.
