Hey wow 2 posts in 48 hours rock on. Anywho I'm waiting for my aunt and her boyfriend to come over so I'm just chilling. Yesterday was an interesting day. I went to sociology and I haven't been there in like a week so I imagine I missed a ton of stuff like tests, but nothing too major. So anyway this guy gets up and for extra credit he gives his life story. Thats all well and good, but here's the rub: I'm a jerk. Really I am. I have this thing were I think I'm better than everyone else and no one is as sophisticated or intelligent as me. So this guy gets up there and he's a redneck, and for the last semester I've subconsciously looked down my nose at him, which I imagine is a funny sight because he towers a good foot over me. Well he gets up and is pouring his guts out about drug addiction and getting his leg amputated. Somewhere in the middle of his story I realize that I'm an ass. That this is a remarkable human being who has a story, and has seen alot more of life than me and I'm a little punk. Humbling. I wanted to hug him, but that would have been awkward for the both of us. You know I don't know a lot about Jesus and God, but I think that Jesus wouldn't look down on him. I think that Jesus would love him. And love him furiously. So I should start loving people too.
I'm sorry. I would like to apologise to everyone out there, becuase I have a hard time loving you. I'm going to try to do better, but I need God's help. So be patient with me please I'm still trying to figure this out.

Well, well. After reading your last post, and then this one, I would say that knowing God is nearer to you than you think. To know Him is to be with Him. It's that whole abiding thing. And when we hang with Him (so to speak) we start seeing ourselves in light of who He is, and we want to emulate Him. Good job Josh. I love you, whether you love me or not! I don't give you that option. Know Him? Well, you know Him more than you think. Although I agree that we don't know Him well enough. I am in the rub with you.
