"Cheers to a new year and another chance for us to get it right"

As another new year approaches, I, once again, go into deep thought about whether or not I will succeed the goal list. I am hoping that I will, then again, you never know until the year is over...This will be my first new year's eve party with my relatives where I will refuse to have a sip of alcohol for a toast. I am against any alcoholic beverage whatsoever now that I am a servant of God, I don't care of the amount. Instead, I will drink diet mountain dew lol. By the way, Christina, you should call me, I get bored. So far I went out to dinner tonight, and as usual, I began to consummate the idea of having kids, and a family of my own and how cool it will be to spend time with them during the Holidays. I think it would be sweet to have people in your life in which you hope look up at you as the "father" in my case, and I think it would be awesome to be called "dad". AS much as I despise kids, having my own, would not bother me at all, and I would actually feel more successful than I ever have before. That is just some exampled thoughts I have during the end of the year...Well I hope all of you have a good, safe, and Happy New Year!

Time for another Blog about some random stuff

I'm not really sure what to say, lately I've been reading the book, Mere Christianity, and its really good, a lot of "laws" that C.S Lewis elaborates on in the beginning, and it makes you wonder about yourself and if whether or not it applies to you. Most of it probably will though. If you are a Christian, and plan on reading this, you should, however, as my friend, Christina, said, it is an intelligent book, so be prepared. - Well besides that novel, nothing else is really going on, Although recently I heard some inappropriate comments about Christians, and since when is it a crime to love, worship, and study God? I don't make fun of those who study or major in mechanics, or physics...if that is what you want to do, you should be able to without having to hear ignorant, or blasphemy comments, because honestly, if it doesn't concern you, then shut up. That was just a thought I felt like stating. Another issue I have is that people have seemed to be judging individuals of their faith, such as for instance, Calvinism, and because you are interested by it, doesn't necessarily mean you live by it, or believe 100 percent of it. So if you are one of those people who likes to "assume" someones faith, Stop, you just look stupid. (That was for Christina) lol Well I'm done ranting here.
