#half-rant

Guys, two things to tell, one is a rant, other is for fanarts, so...

Stop using AI, even as an ironic thing, ok?

Seeing Cuddles (HTF) fanart made me realize... I prefer him with slippers only as a home thing, rather than a daily footwear.

That's all, thanks.

I wish more parents would realize that youth does not necessarily equal strength/ability. Theoretically, yes, a younger person, who has been through less shit, should be able to just go out and do a physical task with ease. But, regardless of how or why the person is unable to do something, even if it’s their own fault, they are still unable to do it, and so parents shouldn’t gripe at their children for not being able to do certain things sometimes.

For example, I woke up around 3pm one day last week and immediately had to go help some people move my aunt’s old TV and entertainment center. In theory, it should have been no problem for me because I’m a young strapping lad, right?

Nope. I blew out my left shoulder and had back pain for 3 days. Sure, the reason I got hurt is because of years of bad posture and not getting regular exercise, which I know is my fault. Regardless, I got hurt and struggled to do the task. So don’t go throwing age around as an excuse for why someone should or should not be able to do a task. The old guy I was on the job with was a mountain man who could probably lift a goat with one hand and not break a sweat. So yeah, age isn’t everything people.

Not gonna lie, I don’t have a ton of people here. My best friends are like all over this country and I even have one in Spain. At church I have acquaintances. At school I have old high school friends, at work I am lucky to have a few freaking awesome coworkers that are like a second family for the most part. Despite all of that though, I don’t even have a real family? I mean, something I realized today as we were talking in church is that I really did grow up in a broken household. Mom is controlling, dad is a pushover, older brother used to be abusive, and younger brother is anxiety ridden. I truly believe that if my parents had gotten a divorce years ago, things would have worked better in my life, but that didn’t happen and everything happens for a reason. I just hope that reason will help me grow. No matter what I do though right now, I am still a dependent in a broken home. The only places I have felt at home in in the last few years was with my best friends down in Rexburg, and I miss that more than words can describe. I don’t like this whole, “letter to talk about same-sex marriage” thing at church, but I am grateful that I have a ward that was civil about the discussion and helped me realize that there is a reason why we need families. Without a family unit, there is no balance in a child’s life. IDC if that family has a man and a woman, man and man, or woman and woman, love needs to be the center of families.

What I am trying to say, I guess, is treasure your families guys. Treasure having a stable life. You never know when God is going to lead you down a path where balance doesn’t exist and life is unstable. I don’t want pity for my household because what is, is and I can’t change that. What matters is how I choose to use all of that to make my life better and follow Christ further down this temporal life. Some day, I will have a chance to make a good life for a family of my own.

Christian blogger is someone who uses their blog to worship and give glory to Christ. How does one put a percent on that? Like hmm, 10% prayer, 20% testimony, 15% devotional, 5% guilt and shame, 50% scripture, and 100% reason to praise the name (yes, Fort Minor on the brains). Desiring to be like Christ or living for Him just does not work that way, even on social media. I cannot enumerate how "Christian" my life is on any given day. I cannot enumerate loving God and loving others. 

Psalm 40:5

Many, LORD my God, are the wonders you have done, the things you planned for us. None can compare with you; were I to speak and tell of your deeds, they would be too many to declare.

My God in heaven has blessed me with life. This is not a separate reality from my internet social life. I will/have take[n] my preferences and tastes in people, arts, trends, style, blah blah blah and mesh it with my identity in Christ. If I post text it could be an anecdote or a rant-still Christian. If I reblog a photo of an acrylic nude-still Christian. If I quote Ghandi or Rumi or Francis Chan-still Christian. If I post a link to UpWorthy, Relevant Magazine, or Cosmopolitan-still Christian. If I post a conversation of my efforts of evangelizing or being ever so "urban"-still Christian. The music from SoundCloud, YouTube, Spotify, etc secular or not-still Christian. Video that may be thought provoking or provocative in whatever respect-still Christian.  

1 Timothy 4:12

Don't let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith and in purity.

As long as I ultimately pursue the cause of Christ who DIED on a cross for a wretched me then I am still a believer and follower of Jesus. My blog as a part of my speech will be an example of how to love, remain in faith, and continually purify. 

In response to the question: Are you a Christian blog?
