Wounded Interior

Wounded Interior 

Baggy Jeans , Hat turned back

Walk with Pride, Like nothing you lack

But if I take, a look in your eyes

That is about when I realize

That you are not, just another guy

Your Broken heart begins to cry

Angry words, Screaming fights

Wake you up, late at night

Just wanting out, Somewhere to be

Someone to Listen and set you free

Just open up, put down your guard

Let God in It’s not too hard

He will pick you up in times of trials

Heals your wounds and teach you to smile

he will go home with you tonight

Help you end when they fight

Just let down your rough exterior

and let God heal your wounded interior

The story behind this poem was inspired by a friend I had in high school. He was a very confident, pleasant and tough guy. Or so the rest of the world had thought.

He had an awful home life it was full or turmoil and mind games played by his father. He was the first person I ever had met that self injured, This broke my heart because you would never have known from the outside.

I wrote this poem to remind people to look deeper into a persons life and not just take things at face value. When you take those extra moments to look into someones life you could actually be saving it!

When Do You Say Life Starts? The Battle Over Abortion Rages On.

Its an election year so there are a lot of debates going on as to when life starts.

When do you say life starts at conception, Once the baby’s heart beats, Once the baby’s movements can be felt, or maybe once the baby is born and you can see them with your eyes crying and moving?

Words Have Power Over Us

Words Have Power Over UsFat.
Ugly.
Stupid.
Whispers in her ears, drowning out all other noise. She’s left with a broken shell of life, no confidence, no self-worth. Years upon years of dragging herself down. Of others dragging her down.

Not good enough.
Lazy.
Clumsy.
She runs. She runs as fast and as far as she can, but she can’t drown them out. They’re always there, in the back of her mind, crooning softly.

The Bible is Not a Buffet

Bible BuffetHave you ever heard someone say don’t gossip that isn’t Godly but then you see them get drunk on the weekend?

Or they always preach about Gods grace what God has done in their life but they continue to have sex outside of marriage.

What about quote scriptures about Homosexuality being a sin, but yet lusts after Women in pornography.

How about when they believe that Jesus was a good man and a good teacher but don’t buy into him being God.

Little Jimmy Rise Above

You, and three year old little Jimmy are playing hide and seek. You are the only two in the house. You hear a crash and rush to find Jimmy sitting next to a broken vase. You ask, “What happened?” and of course little Jimmy says, “It wasn’t me”.

Little Jimmy is afraid of what will happen if you knew what he did. He is afraid of being held accountable. More…

Why Are Christian Apologetics Important?

why-do-you-believe-what-you-believe

 

I am more than thrilled to be able to write about one of my passions: Christian Apologetics (right behind cycling and technology). Apologetics is something that has been a foundation in my life, from how I read the Bible to how I choose what I wanted to study in school. But you may be confused, because what does apologetics even mean? What does it have to do with me, a person in middle/high school? And most importantly, what is even the point of apologetics?

Jesus Loves Gays

Jesus Loves GaysYes, Jesus Loves Gays. It saddens me that so many Christians hold the gays in a totally different category than any other sin.

Yes, it is true…

Yes, it is true that being homosexual is a sin, but so is stealing lying, heterosexual sex outside of marriage, and coveting your neighbors things.

Tangible Love? That’s For The Missionaries.

Tangible ways to show our love to others

What do you think of when you hear the words tangible love?

When I hear someone say tangible love, my mind first goes to missionaries.

I don’t know why, but I do.  I almost immediately pass the buck off to missionaries and completely forget that I even heard it mentioned.

How sad…
