The Garbled Epoch

So yesterday I was talking to a bunch of my wise traveler friends. And we were discussing. *DUM DUM DUM* Theology and religion. And I realized a few things and this is what I want to share with you today.

1. So many times we can easily talk about what we believe, we can even honestly believe it in our hearts. But so many times people will say one thing and do another. I even do it from time to time. Why? Because no one is perfect. But there are those that talk the talk yet they don't even want to begin to walk the walk. A few groups of people who I feel do such a thing: Parents (every once in awhile), political leaders, and Christians. So often they are the ones telling us what we SHOULD be doing. Yet they are the ones that aren't even doing it. So I encourage for you all to be better than that. Live the life that you say you live.

2. Discord when it comes to anothers belief. So many times we as people, will shut out one another because of a disagreement in beliefs. People have divorcises, civil wars, and Church spilts over the simplests of details. So often these spilts are not necessary. We think that because they are wrong, and they'll never see it our way we should just remove ourselves from them. WRONG. Yes there are times when you really can't avoid splits resulting from discord.

Just some stuff to think about

Ok here are a few updates so you can know why I haven't been posting as much as I probably should have. First off I am on lent, and I gave up the following for it: Talking online, I can only go to 3 websites, I gave up all cafinated sodas, and I can't remember the others right now (so I hope I'm not doing them). Secondly I haven't been updating due to the fact that my computer has 117 viruses on it right now. So I have to log in throuh safemode. I'm repairing it now even as I type.

Now that those excuses are out of the way here are a few new features for the site:
Bloglet: At the bottom of the screen is a form where you can apply to have this blog's posts sent to your email. Kinda like what xanga does with their subscriptions. It's really great since you can read whatever I type without ever having to log into the site. So yeah signup now! lol. I also installed a counter to know how many people frequent the site. So I hope to get those numbers up soon!!!

Now on to my actual post:

For those of you who have been commenting on my Lonely Post, I'll post a little bit more on it. I know of a person who, even when you feel like he's not there, is there. I have one of the greatest secrets of this world that I travel through. His name is: Deliverer. He comes from a line of those who I will meet some day. Right now my friend and I are on a journey to meet with his father: The King. That's right I am with a prince and I'm on my way to meet the king.

You're probably thinking, "What the heck? I have never heard of this king. Who is this king?" Well I'll tell you this. You probably have never heard of the king, because of people like us on the narrow road who are so concerned about the journey that they forget about the others who are heading for that place I call: The Valley of Death. Or my fellow travellers just are plain afraid that you might think less of them. They are afraid for themselves! This is the sad thing with my travellers. We walk with the greatest secret ever known and yet we are at times to afraid to shout it out when we reach the mountains of our journey.

I say no more, I say no more silence, what do you do when you're on top of a mountain!?!? Do you just stand there and go, "Wow look how well I did to get here." No! You have fun shouting and hearing the echos of your cries. So my encouragement is for you all today to seek after my friend the Deliever and start in that journey to the King. And for those of you who are already on the trip to see the king, I encourage you all to shout from the mountaintops what you know of!

Keep on seeking and shouting,
David

Wow, I don't even know why I feel this way but heck this is how I'm feeling. But before I post anymore, I want to make you all understand a few things about me.
1. I have hope no matter what I feel. And I'll post more on this hope later.
2. I think, and some of my friends who are studying in this field of medicine think I suffer from depression, so I might tend to blow things out of preportion.
3. I am a teenager, whose body is still learing how it should function.
4. It's 1 AM, and things are different at this time.

So, now that that is out of the way let me begin with how I'm feeling at this exact moment in time. I think that this feeling is the worst feeling one can have. I know that it kills, I know that is steals the courage of all men from time to time. This feeling is controlling, it steals almost all hope, and it's the greatest lie of all.

I feel ALONE. I feel, completly and utterly alone and lost. I know that this isn't true, but it sure as heck feels true.

Do you ever get that feeling, on your road of life, where it's getting dark, the air is just cold enough that you wish you had a jacket? Yet you forgot one when you started down that path? Right when the sun is setting over the horizon, and the stars, which you wish would give you a ray of hope, don't come out? Have you ever felt like this path that you are walking down is leading to nowhere? That you started this journey alone, you're on it alone, and you'll end it alone? Or! That you started it with many friends, and then *poof!* they're gone to somewhere else and you're stuck there. Stuck to finish the journey, or to just wait. Have you ever felt so empty? So void of all human contact? Compassion? Love? Have you ever wished for a moment that you could connect! REALLY connect with someone who doesn't just leave you when their road bends off onto another path? Do you crave that conversation that isnt' just about "What good movies you've seen recently"? Do you beg for deep within you a soul who you could talk to? And I mean REALLY talk to, tell everything and know that that person will never betray you, never leave you, never forsake you to the lonely road?

Yeah, so that's how I'm feeling. Is that how you feel? Do you crave those things? I have an answer. Do you have an answer and what is your answer? I'll post my answer later. Right now, it's time for some sleep for David.

Walk with hope,
David

Before I go any further into my travels on the narrow road, let me explain to you a few other roads I know of and why I have chosen this road. There of course is the narrow road, and it is probably the hardest one to stay on, yet it is also the most rewarding.

There is the wide road which has many "rewards" along the way, yet it always ends up in the valley of death. I won't go into too much description here because it'll be described more as I cross paths with those who are on the wide road.

I believe that those are the 2 main roads, if I run into any others then I'll be sure to let you know.

Now that I have told you the 2 main roads let me warn you to think that these roads aren't always going to look the way that they do now. There are times when your road will be paved, and everything will be going great, going smooth. There are times that you won't even be able to see the road beneath your feet, and the only thing guiding you will be the compass, your map, and the light on the path.

So yeah, I'll get into more detail as my road keeps on going. So until next time, I encourage you all to stop and think about what kind of road you find yourself on. Do you see yourself headed towards the valley of death? Do you feel there is nothing left for you at the end of your road, so have all the fun you can have now? Or do you find yourself, on a journey with a purpose and goal headed towards the sunlight you know that, even in dark times is there?

Find that sunlight!
