Long time, No Blogging.

Heyyy! It's been a while since I've last blogged!


Recently, I bought the first "Hunger Games" book. IT IS SO AMAZING!

 Last night i started reading it, and read a good couple of chapters. after awhile I knew I should put it down and go to bed because it was getting late. BUT I COULDN'T! My eyes were glued to it, reading page after page. I kept telling myself, "it's okay, I'll just finish this chapter, and then go to sleep." But I still read on.


Finally i forced myself to close the book and get some rest. That was so hard.

Tonight I'm going to finish the book.

ANNNDD then i'm going to Barnes and Noble and buying the second book.

I just finished a paper on "Stoicism and Epicurean Philosophy." Actually it was quite interesting, i thoroughly enjoyed it. You see, Paul was in Athens, Greece while the Stoic and Epicurean philosophies were still going on.  It makes me see Paul the Apostle in a whole different light. He was so smart....and brave. He used the Stoics and Epicureans current thoughts and ideas on life to witness to them about God.

Paul had carried his message to a world with a multitude of religious beliefs, and the message he proclaimed showed its power over the Stoics and Epicureans.  He moved from God's nature to the history of creation, and then on to the human quandary. And then he challenged their beliefs, their gods, and religious opinions.

So that got me thinking, as we look at our culture with its increasingly pluralistic religious spectrum, we must remember that we, too, carry the same gospel with the same power. God is our Father.


Welll, now im getting tired. So i'll blog again soon :]

               Yours Always,
