It's been a few weeks since I blogged last and it's given me a long time to think about what I am doing, especially why I'm doing it. I am not ultra-religious, in fact I hope that I'm not religious at all. Though it may seem like it, I am not consumed with making everything a spiritual object lesson (good thing or bad thing, I don't know) But as I read the Bible more and more (which to my shame hasn't been a lot lately) I realize what a horrible person I really am. in Proverbs (I believe the verse is 17:5, don't quote me) God says that the haughty are an abomination to Him. Ouch! I am abomination to my Savior. That one really hurts. It never ceases to amaze me how the very one who hates what I am is the very same person who loves who I am and I can only change if I ask this person for help. Pray for me please. Not only do I need to change, I want to want to change (if you follow me). I want to reach Paradise, the REAL Paradise and have Him say "Well done." If I am to be humbled, then I'd much rather that it be here as opposed to there. Please pray that God puts His joy back inside this rotten mind, the humility into (for it was never there) this wretched soul, and the love into this blackened heart. Please also pray that I come to show respect for my elders in actions, tone of voice, and countenance. I don't want anyone to be able to look down on me because of a sinful habit.
Thanks for reading,

2 Cor. 5:17-21 (God let this be me!)
