Follow My Blog

So, I am still getting used to this whole blogging thing, and I'm not exactly sure how to increase audience flow to my blog. I added a "Following" widget, which will track who is an avid follower of my blog. I would encourage you all to follow my blog, so if you could do that, that would be great. Also, tell your friends to check it out, I know it may not be the greatest blog right now, but I am working on it, plus the internet at the school sucks, so once I move out to BC I will be able to update more frequently and with better posts (ie pics and movies). So yeah...please follow my blog, and tell friends and family to follow it to. Thanks

Trans Siberian Orchestra

So, a few days ago, Kristi and I, along with some friends were able to go see the Trans Siberian Orchestra. It was an INCREDIBLE show. Seriously...the most amazing musicl and Pyrotechnic experience of my life. Anyway, in the middle of the show, a guy that looked homeless came out and sang. Of course, he wasn't actually homeless, he was just an actor, but he sang amazingly (although some drunks thought he sang a bit too long and started taunting him...but other than that it was really sweet). So...the point is, we all judged him before he began singing. In fact, as we were heading in to to the arena, he was standing outside, acting homeless. Everyone avoided him. He was a bum, he wasn't worth the time of day. But then he came on stage and sang, and it was amazing. We all had judged him, and thought he was someone other than who he really was. Sadly, we all do this all the time. We all judge people, based on their religion, their age, their appearance, their gender, where they are from, what they enjoy doing, how they smell, what they are wearing...whatever it may be. This needs to stop. we must accept people, and stop with the judging and the assumptions. God calls us to love, not discriminate. And who knows, just like the homeless guy turned out to be part of the Trans Siberian Orchestra, the person that you are judging may turn out to be someone whom you would least expect...maybe even an angel!
