It's been over a month. I do want to tell you about a website that I launched. It's a blog much like this one but it has a more defined goal.<br /><br />If you want to visit it and read my new stuff, go there, because I will be posting less and less stuff on here. Thank you in advance for visiting my site!<br /><br />Here it be:<br /><br />http://therevivaltheory.com/M.G.

Whoever you are. There is so much more to life than what we have. You could be perfectly content with how things are right now but what's the point in being just okay? If you feel comfortable where you are now, you need to break out of your comfort zone. If you have ability in a certain area that earns you continuous praise, strive to be better.<br /><br />Abraham Lincoln could have been content earning an honest living but he wanted more and he achieved more.<br /><br />I'm aiming this at anyone who is around my age when I say that you are at the prime of your life. Why waste it on partying and getting high? Why drink away your social problems when you could drink in the living water of Jesus Christ? (To girls:) Why waste the beauty you have on skimpy clothes? Why live a life that we are expected to?<br /><br />There are a lot of people who don't expect much from our generation but I'd be honest in saying that most of us are the cause for it. <br /><br />There are going to be difficult times, why delay the inevitable? Start doing hard things now. If you see something that is wrong with the world then do something about it. God calls us to remarkable things. Impossible things. Some of you will change so many more lives than I could even dream of. You don't have to stand out to do it because all you need is ambition and a cause.<br /><br />There's more to life than parties, sex, popularity, drugs and money. I could go on and on and on. Stop telling yourself you are okay with how things are! Start telling yourself that you can do something amazing.<br /><br />Don't fool yourself when you say that waiting a little while won't hurt anyone, because even if it doesn't hurt anyone, think about how many people you could HELP by starting early.<br /><br />I believe in our generation. I believe that we can change the world because soon we will be the ones leading the world. It's sad how many of us don't care because soon we will be the ones that everyone will depend on to care.<br /><br />So what are you waiting for? Let that light shine. Are you keeping that light under wraps because you think you can wait? Or are you keeping it from shining on the faces of many because you are afraid? Either way you are being selfish. I repeat: What are you waiting for?M.G.

Tonight is one of those times. I feel that whatever I write may not be exactly what I meant it to be, so take to heart that I may need to revise my thoughts tomorrow.<br /><br />I have a certain faith in the good of the human spirit.<br /><br /><br />hold up, I don't know what I'm doing. I definitely need to write about love, since thats what my heart is telling me to right now, and my head doesn't really have any particular direction anyway.<br /><br /><br />Falling in love is like falling in a bucket of paint. You are stained a certain color, forever, even if that color changes eventually you will always have that color somewhere on you, no matter how chipped it gets. Sometimes people only have a few coats of paint, others have many. Sometimes a coat will not get chipped much or fade much, but sometimes others do.<br /><br />The important thing to take note of though is that even chipped paint that is faded can still be just as inspirational and beautiful. Marks on that paint can mean something important to the person, such a deepening in a relationship from an experience or something more life changing. <br /><br />I think that the last coat of paint you have, will be the color you were originally, before you fell in love with any of the others. Because that original color is who you are, and the person you are meant to be with and fall in love with for the last time and forever will love you for exactly who you are and nothing else.<br /><br />The other coats will still be under the outside one, but only as a reminder of past experience to give you more fortitude and wisdom about life and love.<br /><br />The love of your life will be a color unique in every way that cannot be matched so obviously the only way to find the love of your life is to take risks and mix the colors on your palette to find the right one, that might mean some messiness, but I think it would be worth it. So take off your apron, remove the newspaper, and start creating colors in every way possible getting as messy as you can.</span>M.G.

Even if those two types make up the majority. There are, in my opinion, black and white areas everywhere you look.<br /><br />Left is black, right is white. Up is white, down is black.<br /><br />But the thing that most people never seem to consider: Where are you right now? I think that the reason most people tend to see things in either black or white is because they are standing in the gray area and you are only looking towards the direction of white or black. Imagine being in a room, two walls are white and then two walls are black, the floor and ceiling are gray If you look in one cardinal direction you will see either black or white.<br /><br />Don't forget that there are many shades of gray. The reason why some people don't see things eye to eye is because they are standing in different shades of gray. I think that if you try and get someone to see your opinion while you tell yourself that you are standing in the white or black areas, they will see your opinion differently. They won't see it the same way you do because they are standing in different area. Anything can contribute to why you are standing in a particular place, such as how you were raised or who your friends are. But you have to remember that pretty much everyone is in a different shade of gray because no one has had the exact same experience as someone else.<br /><br />That's why Jesus stood in the grey area of humanity. So that he could not only save us but learn about the gray in us. I am in no way saying that God was ignorant of what we went through before but in being human he was able to bridge the gap between the black and white. He was able to create the deepest and most important shade of gray that humanity has ever seen, and he was able to do that without becoming gray at all. I'd assume that God sees everything in black and white. But His black and white must be so much different from ours and He loves us so deeply that he can look through whatever black and white we may have and see us in a different color altogether. I think that He sees things so clearly that whatever black and white we have don't blur together to make gray but something else entirely.<br /><br />When Jesus came down and died for our sins he made it so that no matter what shade of gray we are in, we could get rid of all our notions of black and white and go to the place with the colors of the rainbow that God calls us to. Are you going to let your own perspective on the blacks and whites of our world prevent you from reaching out to someone in a different shade of gray? Or are you going to learn to look pass all of the worldy things and see someone for who they really are, a creation of God made with the color of love.M.G.

Lewis that I took to heart the moment I read it, I suggest whoever reads this does the same. But its only a suggestion.<br /></div><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(85, 85, 85); font-size: 14px; font-style: italic; line-height: 23px; ">"One great piece of mischief has been done by the modern restriction of the word Temperance to the question of drink. It helps people to forget that you can be just as intemperate about lots of other things. A man who makes his golf or his motor-bicycle the centre of his life, or a woman who devotes all her thoughts to clothes or bridge or her dog, is being just as ‘intemperate’ as someone who gets drunk every evening. Of course, it does not show on the outside so easily: bridge-mania or golf-mania do not make you fall down in the middle of the road. But God is not deceived by externals."<br /><br /><div style="text-align: right;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-style: normal; ">Think about that...<br /></span><br />- <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: normal;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">G.J.

I hate to say that I don't really have much to offer in terms of food for thought. I've been going through a crazy mental battle right now, which sucks since school is starting soon and I'm not prepared at all. I have no idea how to react to people now, I've lost all sense of myself. The only thing I know anymore is that God exists, and the some how some way He will help me.<br /> But I have no idea how, I mean I'm not even sure if I believe in Hell in the eternal sense anymore, I don't know if I've just been hiding like Jonah did, I think that metaphorically I am stuck inside of a fish, trying to contemplate what God wants me to do, but the reason why I am in this fish for so long is because I can't figure it out. It's kind of lonely in here, I feel like if I had a girl with me then she would help answer all my questions. I miss having that relationship. Which is why I wrote picnic in the rain, to try and embrace those feelings of being in a relationship.<br />I used to think that people needed me, but really they don't, at least not really. I've been extremely prideful in that matter, thinking that I am better than most people because people needed me. It's a good thing that I fell from the pride, but its going to be a tedious task picking myself back up, there is no way that I can do it alone. Good thing there is God, I just hope he sends me someone that I need soon. I don't know how much longer I can last in this fish. It's dark, and lonely, and I'm running out of the essentials. Messages in bottles won't do any good, I've tried and even if anyone got the message, they obviously didn't try and help. So if anyone is out there, anyone at all. I need you.M.G.

No cigar. Well this is awkward. I watched a movie last night called Fracture, it had Anthony Hopkins in it, I really like that guy but that was a twisted role for him, I prefer him as the jolly old man that he usually is. Yes!

I was going to give an excerpt from Mere Christianity by C.S. Lewis for you to read, but really I don't think it is that type of book. You cannot just take parts of it and say that you will understand and take to heart those parts and then just dismiss all of the other parts as unimportant or less important, you just can't do that. Same with the Bible, too many people are hypocrites, they really are. I admit that I am a hypocrite but at the same time I try to have integrity and change my hypocrisy into something like that of a pebble rather than a boulder. There are many people who choose to believe that some parts are true and others are not. Some people that tend to want to follow a few of the Bible's teachings and not all of it. Well that isn't good. You should try to follow everything, but make sure that you understand what it is saying first. For those of you who have trouble understanding what it has to say, take an online devotional, or after a sermon talk to the pastor or speaker about what you didn't understand, because not understanding isn't an excuse. If you seek the Lord your God with all of your heart and then you will find Him, and seeking goes along with taking the time to fully understand everything, not just looking at it at face value and saying that you don't have time and that what you do understand is the only thing that matters. Seek to fully understand the things that come to you from the Word of God or else you are DOOMED! Not really, but the point is to be humble and try to give it some thought. Would you rather take a hit on your pride or hitch a ride to hypocrisy and the gentle sloping road to (yes I am going to say it although I try not to because I don't believe that you absolutely will but I do think that it is more possible than you might have previously thought) Hell?<br /><br />P.S. Mere Christianity is a great buy and you can get it on amazon right now for $11 and free shipping, if you do get it and don't understand it I am here for you.<br /><br />GJ FryeM.G.

It hurts when the people you get really close to have to leave your life temporarily or permanently.<br />When a really close friend of mine had to leave I couldn't understand why it hurt so much, and a simple answer like "you guys were close and he meant a lot to you" wouldn't cut it for me.<br />I think the true reason why it hurts so much when someone leaves is because when you meet someone new you really do give them a piece of your heart, and they usually return the gesture with a piece of theirs.<br />Now spiritually and metaphorically speaking, your heart yearns to stay whole. That's why when someone leaves your heart will feel as though its on the point of breaking.<br />But another amazing thing about your heart is that it heals. It heals because it mixes in with the new piece, it learns from it and it makes your heart stronger. It makes the heart better and more wise. And to me, most importantly, it offers a promise of hope. Hope that the memories will be remembered and the happiness will be savored. Hope that in the world you have friends who care about you. With each new piece of heart that melds into your own, you will come to find that you aren't really the owner of your own heart. You are just the keeper, the guardian, and it is up to you if you let your self become vulnerable to what happens when you give away a piece of your heart.<br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(51, 102, 102);font-family:arial;" >Love anything and your heart will be wrung and possibly broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact you must give it to no one, not even an animal. Wrap it carefully round with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements. Lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of your selfishness. But in that casket--safe, dark, motionless, airless--it will change. It will not be broken; it will become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable. To love is to be vulnerable. (C.S. Lewis, Four Loves)<br /><br /></span>Will you stay in the dark and not take risks? Or will you take the risk of brokenness and love as we were meant to love?<br /><br />-GJ FryeM.G.

It is set in an Asian cultural world where they do not seem to worship any one god but a twist gives certain people of the different nations to be able to bend the elements. One certain member of one of these nations can control all of the elements. The name given is the Avatar. Well, how does this relate to Christianity at all? At the near end of the season three finale Aang (the avatar) is destined to defeat the Firelord, who has taken over the other nations (earth, air, water) with the Fire Nation. In the climax of the battle Aang is faced with the decision to kill the Firelord to end the war, but he can't because he knows that it isn't right. Instead Aang tries something that is so risky he is placing the world in jeopardy. In order to perform this task he has to be completely unbendable. He has to spirit bend to end the war without killing the Firelord. In a way we are all spirit benders. We can bend someone's way of thinking, their character, their will, and most importantly their life. As a Christian we are meant to be unbendable, because in being unbendable we will be able to bend those who need to be shown the truth, the way, and the light. Jesus Christ. Build yourself up with knowledge and scripture and do not let anyone tell you that you are wrong. Without this spirit bending no one will be saved, those who master it, must be unbendable. If you make a mistake, stand strong in your faith and admit your mistake to God Himself, only Jesus has the power to save. Once you admit that mistake the Holy Spirit will make you even stronger than you were before. Be a spirit bender, bend the spirits of those who need you. Who need Christ. Bend but do not break, for breaking a spirit causes an irreversable gap between them and God. Bend, my brothers and sisters, but be careful to not break. Be careful to not bend yourselves. Be a Spirit Bender.<br /><br />-GJ Frye<br /></div>M.G.

I was trying to address something that no one will take to heart anyway. Anger is an amazing thing, its passion moved to the highest climax. It will make you do unthinkable things. Well I am angry at myself, at Christians everywhere. If you are a Christian then live for Christ. If you believe that God HIMSELF, died for you? Then why don't you tell people about it. I mean seriously, if you've accepted Jesus Christ into your heart and you have been gifted salvation for an eternal life, do you realize how big of a deal that is?! How can you not tell people? How can you not try to glorify God for what he has done for you? How can you not at least <span style="font-style: italic;">try</span> to live a life he would approve of? Be passionate about your beliefs, who cares if you look crazy sometimes I mean Jesus went crazy for you? Imagine sacrificing yourself for millions of convicted felons, knowing that they would still make mistakes and they would still turn away from what's right. Would you really do it? Jesus sacrificed himself for the entire mankind! Jesus himself underwent perfect humility. Humility because that's what a man ought to undergo and perfection because he was God. If someone calls you a Jesus Freak or anything along those lines that's a sign, not that you should change for them and be more subtle but a sign that you are doing what God's want you to do. I mean don't go hardcore and tell everyone they are going to Hell if hey don't accept Christ right there and then. But live passionately, Love like we are meant to love, talk like we are meant to talk, dance like we are meant to dance, witness like we are meant to witness. We were made in God's image. God is not cold and distant about His passions, He is radical and awesome and the perfect role model. Don't think that being a Christian means that you can't have fun, it means the farthest thing from that. Being a Christian means that you are living Like Christ, Christ was not Mr. Rogers. Sure he was compassionate and caring, but he was also passionate and angry. He got into so many quarrels with religious leaders back then, he was a rebel. He stood up against the society that cursed and condemned. He found the lost, He touched the untouchable, He loved the unlovable. Honestly, does a guy that goes against almost all the rules sound like Mr. Rogers? Aslan in the Chronicles of Narnia is the symbol of Jesus in Narnia and C.S. Lewis described him in a quote that makes perfect sense: "Safe? Course he isn't safe, but he's good" Do you understand that? Fight for whats right, dont stand down and be tolerant when people tell you that you are wrong about your beliefs, dont let people walk all over you, go crazy. You can still be caring without being 'nice' being nice doesn't get a man crucified. Think about that. Being nice doesnt get a man crucified. Try reading all of what Jesus did. Not just what the church focuses on. Jesus was not civilized in anyway, he was a barbarian. But he was Good. Live out the life God gave you. Live like you are meant to live.<br /><br />-GJ FryeM.G.

It's terrible, it causes you to lie, to mask your emotions. Lying is the worst. Even if you are lying so that you don't hurt someone's feelings, you should know that the truth will come out eventually, and that person will be hurt more than you could possibly imagine. Grace is an amazing thing, God is amazing. He gives us more than enough, we don't deserve it, but we get it. I can't believe these thoughts are spawned from watching Lucky Number Slevin, which is an amazing movie, apart from a few suggestive scenes. We all have suggestive scenes in our lives, we just need to make sure that we keep our movie's theme on the right track, we live in a broken world, so none of us could ever hope to film a movie that is rated G. God can be seen as a terrible judge, but that is because He is such a lenient critic. These are so much to handle, so many thoughts, I feel completely scattered today. I apologize.<br /><br />-GJ FryeM.G.

Write a novel.<br />2. Graduate College.<br />3. Change someone's life.<br />4. Fall in love.<br />5. Skydive.<br />6. Climb Everest.<br />7. Surf in Hawaii.<br />8. Find genuine joy in my life.<br />9. Bring genuine joy to others.<br />10. Read the Bible cover to cover.<br />11. See something so beautiful that it will bring tears to my eyes.<br /><br />Chances are I will add things, and I will make sure to mark the ones that I accomplish, so stay tuned.<br /><br />-GJ FryeM.G.

I might sound like a complete and total jerk, but please, it is only my fallible human nature. I'll still love you the day I die, I'll still love you the day He comes. I don't want to hurt you, but if I do I apologize in advance, it is only what I cannot control. I'll still love you if you choose to beat me down, take everything I have, leave me for dead. I'll still love you if choose to abandon me and leave me stranded in the middle of the sea or in an airplane that's crashing. I'll still love you if you pull the plug on me, if you hang up on me. I'll always love you. But most importantly, I'll still love you when you return your love for me. God loves me, God loves you, God loves, so through His grace, I love you.<br /><br />thanks to Bianca.<br /><br />-GJ FryeM.G.

The future is where the real surprises are in store. The one thing that I want each and every one of you to know is that no matter what happens I am here for you to help you through anything, no matter how far gone you think you are, I have a Friend that can help bring you back to where you belong. He can do some pretty great things, so if you ever want me to introduce you to Him, just let me know. You also might already know Him so if you want to learn more about Him, then I can also help you out with that. Anytime, send me anything, and it might be possible that together we could change Everything.<br /><br />You can call me G.J. but you don't have to use the punctuation.<br /><br />-GJ FryeM.G.
