OPTIMIST OR PESSIMIST THAT IS THE QUESTION

"to be or not to be that is the question," . There are only two kinds of people in the world, did you know that? Really, only two kinds, it is really that simple! There are those that have good days with the occasional bad and those that have bad days with the occasional good. Those who see the class half full and those who see the glass half empty. So the question is, WHICH ONE ARE YOU? Now call me crazy, but I like to hang out with those who see the positive side of life rather than the negative. I am a positive person who chooses (notice the operative word there is chooses) to see the best in people. I want to believe that people are as good as their word. If someone tells me that they are going to do something I am going to believe them. I am always going to trust people and look for their good qualities. I am tired, let me repeat that, I AM TIRED..... of people who are constantly negative and always talking shit about others. Those who never see the good in anyone and heaven forbid that they should ever apologise if they are proven wrong. I mean what is up with that? Is being "right" so dam important that it means being wrong? Isn't that just the craziest thing you ever heard? COME ON PEOPLE WAKE UP!!!!!!!!!!

I am a Christian and I make no apologies for it. I love being a Christian and trying to live my life the way that Jesus Christ modeled for us. His teachings are the most wonderful thing on the face of this earth and they have done more to transform mankind that ever has been, or ever will be! (in my opinion)

Being a Christian means that the glass is always half full, that we have eternal hope, everlasting joy that transcends everything that exists on this earth. We are to LOVE one another with a love that passes all understanding. Yes.....even those that make it hard to love. And if it means swallowing our pride and taking it on the chin so to speak then so be it! Jesus said that the world will know who we are by our LOVE, not by our bad attitudes and negativity! I am tired of talkers and not doers. James said in the book of James (New Testament) You can talk all you want about being a follower of Christ but until you show it by your works it don't mean squat!!! That is a paraphrase by me of course. But that is what it amounts to. If you don't believe me read the book for yourself.... I dare you! :)

I am convinced that the world is the way it is because we as Christians have not been what we should be!!! We have not lived "IT" before the world and therefore they have rejected it. We have no one to blame but ourselves.

IF IN THE EARLY YEARS OF THE CHRISTIAN CHURCH THEY TURNED THE WORLD UPSIDE DOWN FOR CHRIST, THEN WHY HAS THE WORLD TURNED RIGHT SIDE UP?

WAKE UP!!!!!! WAKE UP!!!!! WAKE UP!!!!

just a little something for you to chew on.

Love ya

    Its true, and I am guilty of it too.
    I DON'T show the love to some people. They just make is SO hard to love them.
    I have to pray almost constantly for God to soften my heart towards those that make it difficult to love.
    Only the strength of The Lord can bring me throught this............that, and your wonderful Blog! LOL!

    Love ya Brother!
