it seems. Crazy how busy life can be with school work, big productions, and leadership responsibilities. In the midst of that I try to put God aside to handle things myself and then I lose balance.
Anyway a friend of mine recently told me organized religion is the downfall of humanity. I thought that was really interesting cause I've heard that stated by different people but never anyone I've actually known.
I'm gonna take a second to unpack that statement. I think first of all he has a point, even if he just said in an uneducated manner. If you look at the church its a crap hole that has so many problems and fighting amongst itself that it actually damages those things that surround it. Including the very people that it is often attempting to help. So the question remains is this our downfall? I don't think so completely. Our downfall is us and the maddening people that we are. We all contribute to the problem in our own way.
For instance I'm often a liar, a terrible demonstrator of love to individuals, and an overall unreliable person. In a word I often do very little to help the small problems that pop up in the daily lives of the people that we move among every single day.
So I'm the downfall. Were all the downfall because we've all fallen.
Now isn't it interesting that the only solution that I've found to this problem is through a savior named Jesus that often gets attached to organized religions. He loves as we should and then we shall understand what we must do to help correct this place.
Some thoughts to swallow and digest.
Love and peace for all you do.

thoughts about nothing........
tonight i blog because I feel the need too. I don't have any life changing advice, I don't have an answer, hell I don't even have anything meaningful too say. So sorry to take up your time with a meaningless babble.
Tonight I'm dreaming of many things heaven, my life 5 years from now, some girl I've never met and some place I'll probably never go. There are a lot of things that I could be doing opposed to writing this post, homework, sleep, or reading but alas I dream because dreaming is what makes people better and grow to their potential.
I miss that sometimes. I get lost in a grind that consumes even to the point of losing my mind. But if I dream. I am better, I am creative, and I am me.
I want someone to dream with me and soon. So lets dream, all of us as one.
Peace

doors swing wide..........
its fun seeing God move your life in different ways. This week i closed the door on a huge portion of my life and it's quite eerie to let go of something that you poured so much time into, its been cool to watch God open up massive doors and opportunities that will help me transition into the next part of my life. Its nice to be growing up and actually being excited where I going which is just indescribable feeling of relief. It sorta slaps you in the face and lets you know that God is in control (and he so knows what he's doing :)
Good times peeps, I'm excite for the future.
Much love and peace.

waiting up for you when you get home.......
life is a tough thing sometimes. were blessed beyond words and yet we somehow find ourselves desiring more. recently for me its been a relationship or in the very least someone to wait up for me when I get home. Someone to call when I'm away, someone that loves me the way I am and I in turn feel the same towards her. Do I deserve any of that, absolutely not but it is something that I honestly hope someday I can find.
Its harder still seeing your friends so in love. I'm happy for them don't get me wrong, but I do wish I had my own person to turn too.
I'm in Florida right now. Its beautiful and its nice to be around a large group of my buddies. They are a great encouragement to a often times tired soul.
God is still teaching, for which I'm grateful.
Pray for me and pray for the people you love. Most of all pray for the ones you don't.

were all just casting shadows........
When tiredness people think crazy thoughts i'm thinking of mine right now. Is it wrong of me to say that America is boring, that college life has lost its pull. The people have become boring, unchallenging and lacking interest. I'm a cynical bastard this i know but i do in fact miss ireland like hell. I miss the pubs, the conversation, with a beer in hand. Life on the other side of the pond is trying. Maybe i need more freedom in this place. Who knows.
