I mean&#8230; <\/p>\n<p>I feel like I want to get on my knees, and break over sideways, just have my soul pour out the fist that is pressing against my chest.<\/p>\n<p>Oh its tough to live with, sometimes I wonder how many days I can keep pushing things off, how much longer I can do things the way they are.<\/p>\n<p>Sometimes I wonder my meaning.. of why I go to church, is it to see someone?  Is it to do something else?  Whats the real meaning?  Why do I react to life?  Why am I not making the actions, why am I living by them?<\/p>\n<p>Its a lot to think about.  Its a lot to deal with.<\/p>\n<p>Should I move.. should I stay?  Should I say something &#8211; should I bite my tounge?<\/p>\n<p>What should I do?<\/p>\n<p>I had a good conversation tonight reguarding faith based stuff.  Orien from work, who happens to be Gay, and of the Pagan belief.. just challanges things.  Its good.. but I feel so&#8230; out of it.  My goodness.. I try to pick my words and my fights.  It was good.. it made me realize that I need to do more.. <\/p>\n<p>More to understand.. more to comprehend.. more&#8230; to feel.<\/p>\n<p>I liked the conversation even tho I wasn&#8217;t having any big part in it.  I shun from talking about certain things at certain places due to the fact, that I know some people dont want to hear about it.  Tonight was kinda different.  I used the whole &#8216;if you had the cure for cancer would you tell the world?&#8217; thing.<\/p>\n<p>John 14 verse 6?  I&#8217;m trying to remember places in the bibles and what all is going on and in the context things are being said.  I&#8217;m not sure how things will turn out&#8230; in any matter.  I was in the conversation and I started to get sad.  How sad is it.. to hear people reject the Lord God Almighty.  My goodness.. it is Right infront of their eyes!  Why can&#8217;t they see it!  It makes me sad.<\/p>\n<p>So Ive been quiet tonight, and I think I&#8217;m going to continue to play The Calling &#8211; Wherever You Will Go<\/p>\n<p>Goodnight<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>this is now public for everyone to see.
