First Day OBY06
I started the first day getting up early and watching the sunrise, during which I had to epiphanies.
First, Following God is like the sunrise. Sometimes people get up bright and early so they can see the sun as soon as it rises. But in doing so they miss the beauty of the rise. It’s the rising that people look on in awe, not the first sight of the sun. Sometimes people pay so much attention to salvation that they forget that there’s beauty in a life of following Him.
The second epiphany I got as I walked around the fields. I drew close to one cow. Instead of the cow running away frightened it drew closer to me. As soon as it took a step forward other cows saw the first and started running towards me until a large group congregated and formed a massive support group for the first cow. It made me think, we need to be like those cows; to form a group when one of us is threatened, to support each other. But that requires one of us to stand up in faith, to take a step forward. That means drawing closer to an enemy, or the unknown. Because when one of us takes a stand against something others see that in them and are inclined to do the same.
They were my thoughts, when I got home from camp today I had someone diss me because the "anti-Cashmere Christian Crew" at school was banned. I didn't even know there was a group. But I looked at his webpage and he is the most anti guy I know, he fully puts down anyone who doesn't (conform) believe the same views as him yet preaches about individualism. He targets "emos", christians and many other groups.
I posted a comment back on his page, I wonder if it was a little too harsh...
"Ryan, I've not even heard about the ACCC until now, I can imagine what it is. To be honest I don't care if you want to start a group. I've been reading your bebo page and to be honest, if you really believe that christianity is like you voice then you have never opened your eyes. You hate christians just because we have found purpose. Have you? I would like to see you live in a world without Chrisitians, without Christ, without God. No consitutions, no laws, no good. Sorry buddy but you'd be killing the glue that holds this world together. Have your group; sit around and talk about how you hate the world. It's rooted from the hate you have of yourself. From the overflow of the heart the mouth speaks. This is my opinion I'm entitled to. I agree you're entitled to yours too"

it's not too harsh, but knowing his kind, i don't think he'd find it too offensive or hard-hitting, unfortunately.
