If its all right, then its all wrong

 I’m not sure if I really have to clarify this or if everyone is just in denial about it, but there is only one true God. Whether I believe it or refuse to acknowledge it. He has been here, now, then, and forever.  He has dupes and temu versions of him. It’s just not the same. How do I know? Because people have tried since the beginning of time to replace him, or pretend not to hear his voice, nothing compares. I was reading the Book of 1 Kings, and I really see why He is the one true God.


The new king and queen of Israel, Queen Jezebel (not the same Jezebel I checked) and King Ahab, ruled over the kingdom. Jezebel convinced her husband to worship the idol Baal, and it eventually spread to the entire kingdom, and they were all worshipping Baal. All except one man, Elijah.


Elijah believed in the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and encouraged others around him to get back to the God of our ancestors. They were so convinced that Baal was god that they didn’t believe them. So Elijah came up with a solution. He told them to set up an altar and to pray to their baal, and he would set up his own altar and pray to the Lord. The Baal worshipers went first, and they prayed for hours until the sun went down, but their altar was left untouched. Elijah joked and said, “ Maybe you should pray louder.” Baal's followers prayed, and nothing happened. Elijah went next, and he had a hole dug around the altar and poured water all over it. He called out to God and instantly! The bull, altar, and water all around it were consumed by the fire, leaving a giant hole. The Baal worshipers all bowed down to god and cried, “ The Lord is God. And right they were. The world will go many lengths to prove that there is no God, “ There’s no evidence, “ There can’t be a God if suffering exists!” Suffering is proof that we need God. We asked for evidence, and he sent Jesus. If you still find yourself needing evidence, look at your life and anyone who felt at one point that they weren't gonna make it and by some miracle they’re still here, raise your hand.


In conclusion, it can't all be true! You die one death. It doesn't make any theoretical sense to be in heaven and reincarnated as a cow at the same time. Only one makes sense, only one person's body wasn't found, and that person is Jesus Christ.

Heart surgery is scary, but necessary

  I hear a lot of stories about people who have to get big operations. You know the very scary ones that have a 40% success rate. But yeah, these operations are the ones that make you sit and reflect on all of your life decisions. It's a serious thing to go through, and the recovery, I know, sucks. My mom, when I was 13 years old, had gone into cardiac arrest and died for 38 minutes, and she had to get open heart surgery to get a defibrillator put in, and if you don't know what that is, it's basically this device that acts as a resuscitator if your heart were to stop again. She was in the hospital for a month. There was a time when she had a breathing tube down her throat so she couldn't talk. When she finally came home, her recovery was slow, and she couldn't eat certain foods, still can’t eat certain things, she can’t lift over 25 pounds, and she had to quit her job working for my school.  My point is that having to experience almost losing my mother and watching ...

My conspiracy Theory

  Parenting has become a conspiracy. It often feels like those in parenting committees are gatekeeping important files and documents from others who have questions. I might be a bit dramatic, but this situation is problematic for me. It mirrors the challenges I faced throughout my childhood, where I wasn’t allowed to question any decisions my parents made. I was labeled as “defiant” or “rebellious," but really, I was just exhibiting the natural curiosity that all children have at a certain age. Every child is inherently curious, though some express it differently than others. I was the kind of kid who asked "why" a million times. You would think that’s a normal way to be, but it wasn’t seen that way by the adults around me. I often heard phrases like, "Because I said so," or "You'll understand one day." I was never satisfied with those answers, and I’m still not, primarily because they don't make sense. I’ve learned that anything worth knowing...

The Blame Game

  While listening to a podcast, I heard them talking about when sin first entered the world. FYI, it's in Genesis 3. Instead of reading just Genesis 3, I read 2 chapters before, and dare I say, I’m impressed with God. There was no perception of time, and no one was rushing. Hi,m and he still got it done in 7 days. No, 6 sorry. He rested on the 7th. Can you even imagine? I sure can’t. I attend school 5 days a week and need 2 months of recovery. Anyway, I got to Genesis 3 and I ended it a little confused. Here's what I comprehended: Serpent chats it up with Eve, gets her to eat the fruit, she gives some to Adam, they both find out they were naked, God catches them in 4k, curses the serpent, punishes Adam & Eve, makes them clothes, and sends them away. The thing I didn’t fully understand is what Adam did wrong. The only reason he ate the fruit was that his wife gave it to him. I re-read it, I wanna say 5 times before I fully understood the entire message. First things first, l...
