That explains so much.
If only it was rejected a 15th time…

Actually, this is par for the course, guys. What’s lovely is getting published within your first TEN tries. Also, read that^ list, because it’s good to know what you’re up against.

The faithfulness of God is not trusted.
The promises of God are not relied upon.
The commandments of God are not obeyed.
The justice of God is not respected.
The wrath of God is not feared.

I apologize, but this is the worst/cheesiest thing I have ever read anywhere on the internet concerning Christ. EVER.
This is HIGH-larious! Despite the fact that it’s a bit difficult to read, and the punch-line is BEYOND cheesy, I find it funny, I snickered.

If you’re reading this…
Well then, you’re alive!
Be joyful! Live it up!
I saw a typical tumblr picture with the typical inspirational quote, and it got me thinking(which is usually how all of my posts begin.
We live in a country where we have so much, but little is appreciated; even life itself. All I hear all day long- an what I’m guilty of myself- is COMPLAINING. About how much work sucked yesterday, how unfair parents are, how no one is responding to one’s every whim. But my thought process is, you HAVE a job, you HAVE parents, YOU’RE NOT ENTITLED TO EVERYTHING. Let’s just be grateful to God for what we have, and focus on the great things of life.

"Most of our Christianity is based on cliches that we read on the back of Christian t-shirts. Most of our Christianity comes from songwriters and not the Bible. Most of what we believe to be true is dictated to us by our culture and not by the Bible. The Bible never teaches that a person can be a genuine Christian and live in continuous carnality and wickedness and sin all the days of their life. But the Bible teaches that the genuine Christian has been given a new nature; the genuine Christian has a Father who loves them and disciplines them and watches over them and cares for them."

So this is Christmas?
I’ve been thinking a lot lately about the true meaning if Christmas. Being a Christian, I’ve always KNOWN that it was all about the birth of Christ, but I suppose the concept never really sunk into my head. I’ve been thinking, why diver give each other gifts on Christmas? It’s not any of our birthdays. I mean, yes, gifts were given on the first Christmas, but they were given to Jesus, not man. The world tells us that Christmas is all about giving and togetherness, which are all good things, but that’s not what it’s about. Religious or not, one cannot deny that the original reason for Christmas was a celebration of the birth of our Savior.
