One of Those Deep Notes

So I'm listening to the radio today at work, first song I hear when I turn it on is Tim McGraw's "Live Like You Were Dying" followed immediately by Kenny Chesney's "Don't Blink", that was followed by AC/DC's "Back in Black" but that doesn't really have anything to do with the rest of this.

And those songs got me to thinking, which I'm sure was their original point, so congratulations to the writers of those songs. Throughout my life, and I'm sure this applies to many others out there too, I have always tended to focus on temporary stuff, stuff that really doesn't matter in the long run and stuff that I'm not super proud of.

Then I was thinking about why I did these things or focus on these things, the answer, I thought it would bring me happiness. I was under the impression that whatever it was, was going to make my life better, only to be left with regrets and guilt afterward. None of these things bring that everlasting happiness that so many of us are searching for. They only give us that temporary pleasure, with a feeling of depression afterward, which causes many of us to go back to that temporary pleasure, only for that depression to return, creating this vicious cycle that so many in this world get themselves trapped in.

Life is so much more than these things and we are letting those things that truly matter just pass us by. We need to be going after that everlasting happiness, that true happiness, something that offers true life fulfillment. You maybe thinking, "Adam, where can I find this true happiness?" and the others are thinking, "Adam, I know where you're going with this."

Psalms 146:5 Happy is he who's hope is in the Lord his God
Job 8:21 He will fill your mouth with laughter and your lips with joyful shouting.

I could probably go on and on with more verses, but I won't. God gives and everlasting happiness, not something temporary or that will leave you feeling regretful or empty inside afterward. So just remember, put your hope and happiness in the Lord.

Sticking to the Liberals

I was reading through foxnews.com today. (yes I read the news) And I came about this awesome article.

MOUNT VERNON, Ohio — An Ohio middle school teacher says he won't obey an order to remove a Bible from view of students.

John Freshwater said Wednesday he agreed to remove a collage from his classroom that included the Ten Commandments, but that asking him to remove the Bible on his desk goes too far.

Officials with the Mount Vernon School District say they don't oppose religion but are required by the U.S. Constitution not to promote or favor any set of religious beliefs.

Freshwater says being forced to keep the Bible out of sight would infringe on his rights.

Mount Vernon is about 40 miles northeast of Columbus.

*This guy is one of my hero's now. I'm sick of every freedom of expression in the world being allowed except the Bible and Christianity. Students can put demonic crap on their clothes and their binders, people can preach evolution (people who believe this are some of the dumbest on earth), and so on.

-side note: This is why kids are so messed up and lacking morals today. It's not the kids faults, it's all the adults out there who have shut the door to God in our society today.

*While on the other hand the one's getting harassed are the ones with the Bibles, the ones teaching Creationism, the ones who put Christian symbols in their artwork. This freedom of expression is a two way street.

Way To Long

Ok, it's been way to long since I've posted on here. I don't really know how many people actually read this but just in case, I apologize.

Right now things are really busy. I'm prepping for the summer calendar and I have a lot of good ideas. I can't wait for this summer, I'm really excited about getting it going and I'm hoping the kids like what I have planned. I'm not going to post yet what I have planned, I'm saving that for the summer kickoff on May 18th.

With things really picking up I'll have some interesting stuff to post, so I should be able to keep up with it.
