Hello blog world
I am writing this blog entry under complusion to allay my readers' interest (and my conscience' nagging). A short update is all that I can really spare at this moment, as school is literally eating up all my time. Currently, my double-major program is making me do schoolwork 96 hours a week (of which, I tend to only get 85-90 in... unfortunately)--also meaning that I do not have any time to blog, much less eat well or sleep more than 4 or 5 hours a night. School will be done, thank goodness (if I make it that long), by the first full week of December, when I'll have ample time to dither in the world of Bloggingness.
Things of note:
The other day, I say a graffitti tag that read
"God loves you.
He just doesn't want to get involved"
I thought to myself, "how poignant". Because it seemed really true: I mean if the God of the universe, who being the most powerful Being in the universe, could do anything, then why doesn't He--if he loves us so much--make himself more evident and more present in our everyday lives? After thinking about this for a while & coming up with all the typical rationalisations & Christian jsutifications, I decided that there really wasn't a good retort to this statement, save that maybe God really _does- want to get involved in our lives, just that we're either too busy (like me) to look for him, or we're too lazy to find him, or we overlook/discount where he is involved--since he's persistently there & we can fathom what it would be like without him being present/involved. Then, also, what about Christians? I mean, maybe it's our fault that the world doesn't see God. Jesus said that we are his body & that He lives in us, which means that our mandate as Christians is to be Christ on earth.
What does that say when the world cries out that they're being told "God doesn't want to be involved in my life"?
Please, do, discuss
