Im sitten here, its 8:13 and ive missed my morning train- BUT THATS OK- because i dont have ti be at school for another hour. 9:44 is my train- Wooo :D
I actually woke up at 5:50 today to have ashower because its orchestra day, and iwas ready and everyithing and falling asleep on the coach infront of 10 news because there wasnt any cartoons on- and i thought; I dont want to go to orchestra today because im KNACKERED. And i go ALLLL the time, because ilike it,. but yesterday, because my violin teacher was sick, Innuendo took me to where all the big church people play touch-footy on fridays, and we just walked around the oval, i desplayed my awesome Kung-pow skills and "PALM-STRIKE!" and played tip.
So i had another hours sleep, and am getting ready to continue my drawing of Xeris Icetail the Lizard man, becuase he is part of the RP too- its going pretty well i reckon, but i think i should do my quiet time first.

Its pretty hard to do them, especuially when you were as kneckered as me- i started thinking about Drags and lizard men in a half daze instead of mumble. Woops- sorry GOd. so i had a sleep.

"I Love you, O Lord, my strength."

"I said to the Lord- Apart from you, i have no good thing."
PSALMS

I thought that was rather appropriate- thats why i like psalms. If you take teh time adn concentration you can see the pure emotion and devotion pslamist have for God- none of this boring snoring wishy washy blah stuff.
Now what sort of stuff is that?
What i meant to say, was, that Psalmist were very devoted to God- he was their life, and they spent their time praiseing him, becuase that was what they wanted to do.
I don't really appreciate it when people say they are christian, or another other religion/faith infact, but then they only think of it as PART of their identity- just something they do on the side. Just something that makes you a little bit more interesting or something. But i have to admit i do that too actually, a lot.

Thats not the point of faith is it? I dont think so. The more i think about it, all religions, to be of true faith, require 24 hour thought and time and effort. People lose their life for their faith- they follow it every day because when you're serious about your faith, you realise that your s[iritual self is far more important that the physical ones, and live in the light of that.
Real faith requires a full life change doesnt it?
But when people are "hard-core-Christians" or "Hard-core-Bhuddists", i think thats the only time someone is a REAL Christian or REAL bhuddist or Toaist or Catholic or Muslim. "Hard-core" refers to the life change, the constant effort and thought and living in the light of the spiritual instead of physical.
No one can be a chrisitan if they're watered down- if they';re only one on sundays, or if they don't really care to think or figure out what they really believe in. Thats when faith just becomes PART of your identity. Its wishy washy and not real.

I can't remember what they were looking at- maybe the two crucifix's i wear- one from my parentals and one from Shrub <3 They looked at it with interest- and sheepishly i sid: Yea, i guess im a bit radical.
When people think of Radical faith, they think of muslim extremists bombing things. I dont know anything about the muslim doctrine so i wont comment, but if you think of a Radical Christian, maybe you think of those Southern Americans in overals and a rifle, or sometimes, like they have on English crime sometimes, scary religious murderings and stuff in the name of God- oh yea and the Crusades.

But all those things came from reading tghe bible out of context, and it totally clashes with the christian doctrine- so that sort of RADICAL is more like a cult or sorts. A perversion of the Biblical truth.

When i said Radical, imeant "hard-core" for a better euphanism. I want to at least TRY and live my faith 24/7 (i say try because at the moment i am sucking at it, but at least im still trying) because i want tolive in the light of Heaven, to be a whitness and fulfil my purpose...generally i want to do what christians are meant to do Properly and with the right attitude.

but today, to be radical in any sense of teh word is waoaw- so not cool. In most places. People get scared when i "speak God-talk" , and to be honest its scary for me too, cos i dont want to scare anyone. Its cooler to be watered down. But then, thats not real.

If you have a faith- follow it with your whole heart- because it will matter in the end. Dont be watered down!
