Special Olympics

Today we went to help out with special olympic bowling. Yesterdeay I was thinking how this we would be I was saying you know what this is not going to be very fun just helping a bunch of people who are handicaped and can't do anything. The only reason I was looking forward to today was so skip the morning classes and get to eat out for lunch. Well was I wrong this morning when we got there I was still saying to myself this was not going to be fun even when the lady told me lane 4 i was mad. When I got to lane 3 I met the 2 women i would be helping and were they nice. They might not have said much but I could tell they were having a great time and so was I! All of the people who were there today were in such good sprits every single one of them was just so happy to be there even if they didn't know what they were doing they were so happy to be there. And i was very happy to hel[p after I got there it was fun to push the ball and line up the ramp to see how many strikes or spares I could help them get. Through this whole thing I was thanking God that He made me the way I am and I do not have a Handicap and I Take so many things that I can do forgranted such as walking talking reading etc...There were many people today that could not do any of that. Another thing I think we need to treat people who are handicaped better i was always a little scred of handicaped people but not after today once we started I did not even think about them being different and we should not look at them different just becuase they can't talk or cant walk we were all made by the same person just a little different. There are many things we can learn from these people also in many things I beleive if we tried as hard as they did today in Bowling then we might never loose a game of football.

Andy Braner

Last week was spiritual emphasis week and I went into chapel last Monday thinking oh this was going to be another boaring spiritual emphasis week and boy was i wrong! On Monday Andy Braner talked to us and asked us two questions that his first college professor Asked him. They were how do we no we are acctually here and how do we know are good is real. These two questions really make you think you know how do we know that we are really here and not just a something little on something that is very big you know we really don't know those questions really kept we wondering all of monday even during the football game monday night I was thinking about those questions i probably shouldn't have been but I was. On Tuesday he told us a story about how when he was at arizona state near all the bars and he saw the walking Jesus and the person couldn't answer his questions. Later That Day he Spoke in our bible class and he told us all the ways the we know the bible is true and not just saying we know the bible is true because we believe in God we can't say that to someone who does not believe in God. The Ways we can tell non believers the Bible and everything in it is true is by history there are archeology facts throughout history that prove the bible is true throughout all the civilizations and the Hittites and Harrod. We also no the bible does not contradict itself like the other religous books. We also have Oral Tradition that we can see the Bible is true. I can now tell someone who is a non believer all these ways to prove to them why the bible is true and not some crazy book that crazy people mad. On Wednesday I Attend the Act Workshop and did not get to hear Andy Speak:( but I do no he talked on the lines of behave.  On Thursday we talked about Good Spiritual food and bad spiritual food he took us threw some of the top songs such as love the way you lie And just the way you are And etc... Most Of the top songs that are out not in the best spritual food and we as christians need to know that He also told us not to run from God we should not run away when he is calling us we need to do it no matter what he told us when God was calling him to adopt he didn't know if he could do it but he did he didn't run from God and we shouldn't either. He also challenged us to get and Do stuff be like starbucks corrporration get out help out don't just think about yourself. This was by FAR the Best Spiritual Emphasis week Since I have been at Oba Andy Braner really connected with me and most of the students he talked about real issues we face and real things we do it was great i loved Andy Braner and all that guy stands for He Is amazing!

Friends

There Are many qualities for friends. A good friend is someone who is always there for you someone you can be there with through the thick and the thin a good friend needs to be someone you can talk to someone who you have stuff in common with someone who is always there for you no matter what you can laugh with do the right thing with Because you don't want a friend who is going to do drugs every weekend that is not good A good friend should also be a Christian. Becasue having a good friend who is will be good because they will lead you in the right direction and tell you hey buddy that's wrong and you will know this person will not being doing stupid stuff also. The qualities of a good friend i have from another school are this person i can talk to them whenever it does not matter what they are doing they can talk to me this person is also a good person (as far as i know) haha but this person also enjoys the same thing i do so we can talk about that this person also gives me good advice so that always helps me when i'm not having the best day you know. 

When You where gone Mr Bishop talked about the races and how we should not look at people by there skin color and look on the inside it is sad to think about all the people who think black people are less then white people even up until the year 2000 when Bob jones university a Christian University would not let a black person date a white person this is a christian university saying that the two could not date. And the man that formed the Ku Klux Klan went to to seminary. We also talked about how much Charles Darwin in evolutionist has affected the church. Darwin says that Black people are the lowest type of primate and asian people are the middle and white people come from the smartest type of primate it is just unbelievable that people think this even people in are church's look poorly at black people it is sad to think about all the people who believe in darwin's teachings. In the End we should all see that it is not about are skin color it is about the in side.
