Don’t take that topic header too seriously, I don’t mean it like that. All good people go to heaven, we got this. So I said these would happen every Sunday… but they probably won’t be so strict. I mean… it’s Wednesday afternoon. I don’t have hard deadlines like a 1940′s newspaper.
But let’s dive in.
Heaven is for Real
So last week I read probably one of many christian-based books I will be reading called “Heaven is for Real: A Little Boy’s Astounding Story of His Trip to Heaven and Back”. It’s a pretty short and fast read (took me some time since I was so busy, but I got through it in about a week or so…) but the message is pretty important. The idea of heaven for me when I was a kid was something I physically wanted to see, I would stare out the window looking at the clouds hoping to see people just standing up there, looking down. I didn’t realize how creepy this sounded as a kid, but the idea is simple. Physical proof. This book has a lot to do with many things that are solid-kid based ideas about heaven, and I kinda loved it. I know now as an adult it’s not something you will get proof for, it’s something you believe and while you believe… the less likely physical proof needs to be seen. I see physical proof daily, He works in mysterious ways people. I don’t look for concrete, I like to be abstract about the idea of faith.
So this is the start of my journey, my journey to find truth and understand about religion. These blogs may get more out there as I go along, but this is something I have wanted to focus on for a long time. And right now, it wasn’t something I was looking for… it just came to me… ya know?
Anyway, great read. Check it out. If there are any others book I should check out or you want to have a discussion about your religion with me, I want to hear it. I am but a student, a toddler.
Nerds Are Nerds, Still Cool-Nerdy Tho
As a CS major, I know nerds. I see all kinds daily. That’s why I call myself a different kind, nerd to a degree and “cool” to a degree. Whatever cool is, who cares. But there are things I gather from my classmates that makes me wanna call them nerds, and when I mean nerds… I mean it. But I don’t call them that.
Because it doesn’t matter, it’s an aspect of a person that makes them original. I won’t ever tease someone for something that truly defines them as a person. If your personality clashes with another person, just don’t be around them. Don’t put them down because you don’t understand why they do the things they do. While thinking about it, I don’t understand why anyone teases anyone else about who they are. I mean, why don’t the geeks tease the cool kids in high school?
To put it short, WHO CARES.
It’s just the idea people are people, and we are all different. Also, be nice too. Bullying is lame.
#StauntonProblems
Yeah, we have all seen these types of hashtags and accounts on Twitter. But I was shocked that there finally became a Staunton-based hashtag…. #stauntonproblems. Yeah, it’s mostly high school kids talking about staunton issues that don’t matter and this trend has probably died down since last week.
It’s worth a twitter search, just saying.
IF ELSE
If else is my new, life recap section! So there’s the topics, and the life stuff. I like the view I am currently looking at, it’s cold today. So stoked for cold weather, winter, snow, holiday breaks, being at home, etc. I could go on forever with this… but there is a lot of school stuff to get done before then. Seriously, way too much stuff.
But life is good, stress is something I am learning to deal with. Projects are a pain, I have never spent so much time in a library before this semester, and the price is high. But balance, learning, and wishing keep me focused. And coffee, the sweet ambrosia of my life.
Still running, still trying to diet, still listening to new music, still being me. It’s all I can do.
I think that’s all I got for now. Happy Hump Day!
