Life continues to be an interesting place. It's filled with a full gambit of people and emotions, and everyone is spinning around everyone else; all with their own feelings and problems or just flat out differences. How do you find peace in all that??????????

I've got things swirling around me just like everyone else does, from friends that just can't seem to get out of the blackness of depression, to "God's holy prophets" and the validity of their word. It's easy to philosophy life away and take our life experiences and relate them to everyone else's, but the truth is we can't all always relate. I've been discovering lately that the only thing truly relatable to life in all situations no matter what creed, race, sex, or what ever, is "The Word". It can all be found in the Bible. Now I know this may sound like a bold statement to some, and I hope it is, but I challenge you to really seek out the truth in that statement. The cool thing that I've come to understand is that the more I know and understand the Bible, the more I know and understand this life I am in. I can encourage the depressed with the truth of the Word, and they can find life in it. And I can also challenge the voice of teachers, of the bible or otherwise. The truth is not relative; it is the truth… yet it is always relatable. Read the bible, (even if you think it's whack)… understand what it is saying, and you will understand what I mean.

God bless-
