I am usually a easy-going, level-headed sort of bloke. These days I am navigating the waters of being angry/mad/pissed off. This is something I don’t have a lot of practice at. Without divulging the reasons for my emotions I am just trying to figure out what the hell I am doing. Keeping my cool is important as to not let things get out of control but like I said being mad is something I am figuring out. There is hurt and pain involved with being mad and I am used to those things. Someone suggested writing about it so I will be doing so but not for public consumption, just for me. Let’s see how things go.

Living Faith Instead Of Boasting About It
It doesn’t bother me that mentions of faith are edited out of media or commerce or culture. What does bother me is when believers don’t reflect faith, grace, empathy, sympathy and peace that Jesus displayed throughout his ministry. Imposing ones faith on someone isn’t cool but inspiring them to embrace it is very cool. Perhaps if those who profess faith would really live it instead of just boasting about it more people would find it attractive. I learned the hard way that trying to force someone to believe something isn’t going to make them believe it, most times its to the contrary.
