50 Questions That Will Free Your Mind: 22-25

22. Which is worse, when a good friend moves away, or losing touch with a good friend who lives right near you?
Losing touch with a good friend who lives right near me.  For sure. Because you can always visit that friend that moved away (not to mention video chat and talking on the phone) but once you drop a friendship right next to you, it's harder to pick up again than getting on an airplane.  
23. What are you most grateful for?
I'm most grateful for God's character being the way it is.  Because logically, either He's alive and He is who He says He is or He doesn't exist at all.  
It is my honor to be a witness that He is alive (because I have witnessed Him being who He says He is).  
So how awful would it be not if God did exist, but if He wasn't who He says He is? It would be even worse than living in a world where there was no God at all (which would be an oxymoron anyway since He is the creator and sustainer of all).  
Everything "going wrong" wouldn't mean everything blowing up in your face.  Everything "going wrong" would mean that there wasn't anything good to trust or believe in when everything was blowing up in your face.  I don't think the world would just end-I think it would be a huge obstacle course of torture that drags on for a long time and at the end of which you are left to die alone, full of fear and purposelessness.
24. Would you rather lose all of your old memories, or never be able to make new ones?
Dang, that's rough.  Well if I had to lose all my old memories, I wouldn't know anything now.  Not even how to talk or eat by myself.  That would really be bad.  But if I could never make any new memories, life would be really frustrating as well.  Especially if I was aware of the fact that I wouldn't remember anything I did the next day.



I think I would rather keep my old memories because although I don't know that much, I don't want to loose what I do know about what really matters in life.



25. Is it possible to know the truth without challenging it first?
I don't think so.  I never realized it before now because it happens so quickly but at least when it comes to seen things, the question that goes through my mind before I accept what I see as reality is: is this real or not?  If our brains never tricked us or there were no such thing as a lie, we could accept everything we perceived without question but since the devil is real and a liar, I think it's good that we challenge truth.  Because God, who is full of truth will stand the test and everything else will not.

Seasons: The Future

So about the future.  I obviously don't know it so it makes sense that this one might be a little shorter (or longer-it could logically go either way, I just went with shorter). There are litterally (at least) a hundred different ways it could go. After the internship I'm doing, I might stay on there. Or I might come back here. If I come back here I could work, go away to college, take classes from home, live with my parents, move out with some friends, get some kind of certification and work a more specific job, come back to the office job I have now, etc. Or I could move to CA and live with some family and find a job with some distant cousins. Or I could move to some other random state and adventure there. The list of possibilities goes on and on. What sounds best to me right now is to do one of the aforementioned options that have to do with moving back here but we really will see won't we.

Thankful Thursday: Sweet heart hurts.

I was going to say "Happy Thursday to you!"  And if you're having a happy Thursday, good for you.  In the sense of wishing someone a happy day I suppose I do wish you that.  However,  I do not mean that I feel happy on this Thursday. So maybe more like "Thoughtful and introspective Thursday!" Doesn't sound as nice as "Happy Thursday" but that's okay. I'm not particularly happy on this Thursday and for fear of tempting you to judge whether or not my reason for not being happy is legitimate or not (some people feel like they have that position, you know) I won't go into the details of why. I will say that I miss somebody today.  More than just one; I miss him and his whole family. Without going into more detail on that, I'll tell you that my heart hurts today.  The why is irrelevant for the sake of what I'm trying to say; but it does hurt. There are at least two kinds of heart hurts I think: ( There is good news though beca...

We Meet Again

Well, to say that it feels weird to be here again is an understatement. This is a little emotional for me and I'll try to explain why. Firstly, it's been a while since the last time I wrote here. When I typed the address into the search bar, I was actually surprised that a 404 page didn't show up and that, instead, I saw a familiar title and design come up on the screen. There it was - my own writing, published on a web page I undoubtedly spent hours adjusting and tweaking until it was just right, down to the blue and green squares I painted  by hand, scanned into a computer and digitized the old fashioned way with....wait for it.....*Microsoft Paint*.  Illustrator? Pshht. Who needs that when you've got the grandmother of graphic design tools for FREE on your receptionist job work computer? (sarcasm, of course. Adobe, baby, I love you.) But even the details and designs of this page speak to the reason why this is emotional for me. All of the things about this blog that ...
