This is a blog about my life. It is nothing special, because I am nothing special. I am only a disciple of Christ, who tries to serve Him the best I can day by day, and so if you see anything here that you find impressive, exciting, or different, I ask you to give the glory to my Father, Jesus.

An Entry from My Journal on the 4th of July

I feel like it is necessary for me to evaluate my attitude towards America. I appreciate my freedom, but at the same time I feel like I take it for granted simply because I've never lived in an oppressive country. However, there is nothing I can really do about that at the moment. It is more my attitude towards the culture and politics of America that I feel I need to check, because it is largely one of disgust. I am disgusted with the promiscuity, ignorance, arrogance, greed, materialism, consumerism, and self absorbtion, all accompanied by intolerance and a gross superiority complex. We are like ignorant children who think they are grown. These are all legitimate complaints, but I feel that my attitude is completely lacking in love. With people my attitude is "love the sinner, hate the sin", and my attitude towards America needs more of that, more love and mercy and even pity for all the people who don't see where it's all going wrong.
