Jamison

Bear With ME


Just so the world can know.
I feel quite insane today. Not in a bad way, nor am I confessing negative things or any of that. Wow! Many words for no reason.
But this is quite senseless...
Okay my point is this.
Have you ever wondered this...
God is sitting up there in heaven, like he does most the time, and he is fuming.
(Now I know that God is love but bear with me)
Today God is not happy, the world just reeks of sin. It's a mess! All this garbage. Gross.
So God get mad and he is just about to smite the earth in fury, when Jesus, "God's Son" comes along and yells, "Dad! No! Don't do it! Remember I died for them!"
Just a thought....
Oh I am ever so hungry. (Chicken Tonight)

Define ME

Somewhere in the universe there is a novel thick enough to cover a life span on earth with my name as the title. I honestly believe it. And I know that as much I try to believe that I am the author of that book, I am not. its kinda like when you wake up from a dream right before it ends and you try and write the perfect ending in your head. But as I said I am not the author of my book. However, there is one thing I can control. i can choose what pages to turn and not turn, what pages to read and not read. In that is the beauty of allowing such things exist. I may not be able to shape my fate, but I can shape my destiny as much as I want. To be honest if you want to hear my life story you won't find it here. I would rather write it on something more worthy. For instance if I decided to write everything about me on this small corner of the universe, it would work, but it would not achieve any purpose! Now if I wrote down everything I knew in a small leather journal and buried it a thousand miles from any community or culture and told you to find it, my story would be far more valuable. So here is what I try and call he short version, or the preview. (If you want to know more, get to know me.) I am a man after God's heart. I honestly love God and all he provides. I am a firm believer that there is only one way to heaven, which is truthfully, through the blood of Jesus Christ. After God comes everything else. (Which can be a struggle to balance!) I love theatre and live art. And when I say I love it I don't just say it because...I say it because there is nothing I want to do more. I could act for the rest of my life and be proud of it. But I am not defined by it an more would I want to be. Like I said God is much bigger than any of my interests. I also love to write. (As you can clearly see.) I love english and french, and words. I love when it rains, I love Seattle, New York, Paris, and, London. I enjoy reading The Catcher in the Rye...multiple times. I love watching football and going to games, I love eating my favorite foods. But that is all you can know. I can promise that there is more to my story. If you want to know more you are welcome, but I can promise you I am hardly thru chapter five of my life story

Define Language

We as people hold the most powerful tool on the planet; our tongues. This is a strength that lies within everyone, that some hardly even take time to use or even recognize. My introduction may seem like the start of a funny teenage joke, however, it’s not a joke about kissing and far from that, it is a serious truth.

We are all in a fault because of what we say. So many times in my life I have said something that I wished I could have taken back. Our own tongue has the power to shape our minds, lives, and even our own body. What you think and feel in your heart comes first from the mouth. This is not a matter of the popular belief that if you keep thinking about something good that it will happen to you, like in the book, The Secret. But it is an amount of truth in that your tongue can shape you.

Take for instance the classic “I’m fat.” If you tell yourself you’re fat, your mind will believe it, and if your mind believes it, it attaches to your heart, and your heart is all you can live by.

But it is not just negative remarks to yourself, but to others as well. Our tongues have the power to lift someone up and edify or completely destroy and ridicule them. So many times have I hurt someone, whether I was around or not. But the real point is that we as humans use our tongues for the wrong remarks. It is time that we work stop slandering each other, stop making fun of each other, gossiping, hurting, and use our tongues for their real purpose to encourage and praise.

Ladies and Gentleman the matter is simple, if you have nothing good to say, don’t say anything at all.

Define Sex

I recently had the pleasure of discussing teen romance with my younger brother. I found it delightful when he responded to the topic with this beautiful sentence.

“You’re fifteen, you don’t know what you’re doing with your life, and you will not be with this girl forever!” Truer words were never spoken.

We are emotional basket cases. Everything is a big deal. Everything is dramatic. Everything is against us and so if our lives do not go well for five minutes we act like God hates us. Since we cannot control our own emotions and feelings why then do we surrender them to the opposite sex at such a young age?

I am not saying that dating is entirely wrong. It is an adventure perhaps. You can learn from it and it makes you grow in a positive mature way. However, it is the fundamental practices of our generation that ruin it.

First of all teens, myself included, have no concept of what true love is. We think it is something that just comes and goes. We treat it like a frivolous feeling that can be blown in the wind like the leaves of fall. No! Love is unconditional! If you truly love the person you are dating in such an awkward time of your life than you love them everyday no matter what. Circumstances should not change the way you treat someone.

And because we treat love so poorly more problems arise. Teens tend to rush everything. We all just want to grow up and be our own person. But we fail to acknowledge our own mistakes. Teen dating should be a process of checks and balances there should never be a moment that causes you to compromise who you are and your convictions. You should not have to make the smallest insignificant changes to your opinions just to make a person love you. Changing who you are for someone else is wrong.

Furthermore, wiser choices should be made. Sex before marriage is wrong. Having sex with a girl or guy that you have not made a life-long commitment to is throwing everything away. Most teens blow gaskets when people talk about marriage being forever. What they fail to see is matrimony is an eternal promise that deserves more respect. And if you think you have drama now, then I would say keep away from the bedroom. Sex is not something that can just be taken lightly. I find it hard to understand why a teen who violently changes moods as often as they change socks would lay their entire future down for that minute of pleasure. We waste the most valuable things in life. Why make virginity one of them?

Teen love has guidelines that should be followed. I can personally take a girl to a movie and take her home without worrying about how physical we are because I understand the principals.

Practicing unsafe teen dating and pleasures is practicing for divorce. Ladies and Gents this is not normal.
