I'm Sorry...

First, I would like to apologize for not writing sooner. I'm a really busy guy, but I like this blog and I don't like not having any time to talk to you guys.  But! I'm no different than anyone else, and I just do the best I can. So anyways... I didn't really know what to blog about, but I just though of something just now.  I have a friend who is really close to me, and the crazy thing is, we don't really know how we got together in the first place!  I mean, we know the circumstances and happenings that went on.  But how?  Well, I think we both know that God stepped in and made it all happen.  And It is purely amazing how he took two imperfect guys and brought us together in this wonderful friendship where we both help each other through hard times, and joke around in good times.  And both of us always striving to walk closer to our Lord, Jesus Christ, and drag the other one along.  But what I'm trying to get at is that God works in ALL of our lives.  I know lots of people, saved and lost, and I have heard there stories and I see that ALL of them have been touched by God.  Whether they know or accept that as the truth is between them and God.  I know people that have bulimia, that are suicidal or attempted suicide, that are cutters, drugies, homosexuals, anorexic, the list goes on... But EVERY ONE OF THEM HAS BEEN TOUCHED BY GOD!  Now isn't that something?  All Of those people would be looked down upon, ridiculed, made fun of, persecuted.  Now if you were God, wouldn't look look at those "messed up" people and not care?  Maybe even punish them?  But No!  Our God is forgiving!  He doesn't abandon those people!  He stands next to them and screams "I'm here!  Let me help!  I love you!"  And he's doing that now, and will continue to do that until he comes back.  Now, I know all of you has been through pain, trials, and hardship.  But will you acknowledge God?  Will you turn around and let him in?  I know how it feels to let him in.  For a long time I would ignore and sometimes push God away, and it might hurt a little to stop doing that.  You might be scared, you might be made fun of and persecuted.  Maybe not accepted in some groups that you want, I'm not going to lie to you.  But please believe me when my friend and I say that IT IS WORTH IT!  Now, you will not be perfect, or "bulletproof", I guarentee.  But you will start to feel what it means to truely "walk with the Lord".  And you know what is undoubtedly the most wonderful thing in this life?  A relationship with Christ.  He is calling, will you answer?
