Here's a fun story about college life I want to share with you guys. It's a short essay. Everybody knows college is stressful. The late nights and headaches, the rush from trying to get your assignments turned in on time and working with learning team members that drives you crazy. Then there is the lack of sleep and having to go to work, dragging your way to the door, looking like a zombie from The Walking Dead. You try to eat chocolate to stay awake but it only makes you go sleep, so you go after Pepsi and Power Aid with a vengeance. But most of all, while in college, you need a stress buster. Something to break the ice, something that makes you crack up laughing to break the tension you’re feeling. When I was in college I would get stressed out a lot. I had a friend that was super laid-back. Nothing bothered her; she was cool as a lemon. I would often envy her. One night I was up late studying. My eyes bloodshot red like a vampire. My head pounding from an unbearable headache as though someone was hammering a nail in my skull; there was my friend chilling, eating chips and a double cheeseburger with a tall soda with no ice. Watching TV, cracking up laughing as though we had no test tomorrow. I wanted to grab all my textbooks and throw it at her. She never studied. She just took life all in stride, as though it didn’t matter. That type of attitude angered me so. After a few minutes she was out cold, while I longingly look at my bed. Wishing I could go to sleep, but I couldn’t because I had to study, work had prevented me from doing so. At the time I worked with the mentally challenged. I helped one of my clients shop. While we were waiting in line, one customer decided to count out $27 in pennies. When I saw that I thought you have got to be kidding me. Even the clerk was upset. He rolled his eyes while another customer when into a fit of cursing. Almost 40 minutes later, I was driving my client back home when we ran into a traffic jam. I couldn’t believe it. So I took deep calming breaths, trying to find my happy place, dreaming of cinnamon rolls. I was so hungry. As I patiently (though painfully) waited for the traffic jam to clear, I turned to the right to see another driver waiting like me and what I saw caught me make completely off guard. The driver next to me was having a complete and utter fit. She was grabbing the steering will, punching and hitting it. She jerked her head violently as her mouth moved fast, which I assumed she was cursing. Then she held on to the steering will and moved all over the car seat in a fit of rage. When I saw that I was like whoa, somebody is having a bad day. (It kind of reminds you of that song had a bad day). After watching that scene unfold, I quickly turned and looked straight ahead as though I saw nothing and proceeded to drive forward as traffic moved on. Well, I guess my day wasn’t that bad. After I got off work, I got a call from one of my learning team members, telling me we needed a team meeting. That was joke because no one in my team listen to each other nor did we work as a team. I rolled my eyes telling myself three more days and I’m out of this learning team, just three more days and it’s all over. Our learning team consisted of four people including myself. Of course with every learning team you have that know it all which was the team leader, (oh joy.) Then you have another team member that doesn’t want to do their part of the work, making all these excuses because they’re lazy. And you have another learning team member that’s extra nice to everybody, because secretly he wants to take all the credit for everyone’s hard work. The funny part is he doesn’t think anyone knows his tactics, all I can say is wow. As the team leader spoke, she held her head up high like Charlie Brown trying to talk over everyone’s heads to show how smart she was, while I frown and thought here we go. I pulled out my notebook and took notes of everything that needed to be done and mapped out for each team member, while the lazy team member kept asking questions, holding up the team meeting. I wanted to throw eggs at him but I restrained myself. After the grueling meeting, hours later, here I sit in my apartment, studying away, wishing I could sleep. The next day my friend and I took the test. I barely passed while my friend got an A+ and she didn’t even study, really? Until next time, thanks for stopping by, you guys are awesome!

Hello everyone thanks for stopping by, let’s continue on with part 10 of Life After Death. In the book of second Corinthians 4:4 refers to the devil as the god of this world. This shows the devil has increased influence on the thoughts, views and ideas of people. The devil’s influences are the foundations of the commerce, philosophies and education in the world. The false gods all around the world and different ideas and things that go against the true and living God are the manifestations of the devil’s influence on the earth. The devil has many names showing you his skill set and power he has on earth. In Ephesians it refers to the devil as the prince of the air, meaning the devil has some forms of ruling the earth and the people. But this doesn’t mean he has total control of the earth because God allows the devil to operate in this earth with boundaries. Remember the devil has the rights as the god of this world because of Adam and Eve’s sin. In the Bible it says the devil is the prince of this world but remember God allows the devil’s reign over people who don’t know God or reject him. Christians are no longer under the rule of the devil. We have been delivered from the curse of the law. Non-Christians are caught in the snare of the devil and are in bondage to Satan. Since the devil is the god of this age, he has blinded the minds of those who don’t believe in the true and living God. Since Adam and Eve messed up like we all do today, God provided a ram in the bush or should I say the Lamb of God. God loves us so much that he sent down his one and only son Jesus Christ down from glory to die for our sins, being our sacrificial Lamb so we are no longer spiritually dead. (Meaning spiritually separated from God.) When Jesus hung on that rugged cross and died, he brought us back from the dead by connecting us spiritually back into the fellowship of God. Now that we are spiritually alive (meaning God lives in us) having a connection with God which allows us to hear his voice and lead and guide us into all true, giving us faith that cannot be broken even though the devil tries. There is no longer a void in our hearts, an emptiness we can’t explain. All that means is you need God to fill you. Since Jesus died on the cross, we can now be saved and not go to hell when we die. We can go to heaven if we accept Jesus in our hearts as our Lord and Savior. Many people do not believe there is a heaven or hell but I tell you both places are real, both places are our final designation when we die and leave this world. Some people commit suicide because they can’t handle life anymore and that is so sad because they think killing themselves is the only option. They think life is over once they commit suicide, but when they open their eyes they wake up in hell. Suicide is a sin and God teaches in his law that if you kill yourself you will end up in hell because you are knowingly killing yourself. So don’t kill yourself, in hell there is no parole, you can’t escape, you are there forever. If you are having thoughts of suicide talk to someone don’t kill yourself. As Jesus said, come unto me all you that labor and heavy laden and I will give you rest. For I am gentle and humble in heart and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light. The Lord gives rest to those who are weary. The Lord is saying look to him and be saved. Though we are bound with burdens, the Lord will break them all for those who trust in Christ Jesus. As always thank you for checking out my website and liking my posts, you guys are awesome! I’ll see you guys later, until next time. Hello everyone thanks for stopping by. Let’s begin with strange things. I found this story, it’s pretty interesting. I like what ABC news called this story. The name is the zombie cat. It kind of reminds you of The Walking Dead doesn’t it? This is a true story that happened in 2015. The zombie cat’s real name is Bart. This story was crazy, I have never heard of a story like this before that was true. It starts out with Bart getting hit by a car, his owner Ellis Hutson found his cat in the road in a pool of blood unresponsive. So his owner buried him. But here’s the spooky part, as five days passed, Bart the cat was in the neighbor’s yard. The neighbor brought the cat back to his owner and his owner Ellis was in complete shock and relieved at the same time. It’s believed Bart dug his way out of his grave. Can anyone say Buried Alive? I know that thought pop in my head when I first read the story. I am a fan of the movie Buried Alive, it’s awesome. But anyway getting back to the story, Bart the cat is okay, he had a broken jaw and open facial wounds and a ruined eye but other than that Bart’s doing well. When you see the pictures you see why they called Bart a zombie cat, he’s right creepy and shouldn’t be alive but somehow he made it. The whole story is strange and from the Twilight Zone but it has a good ending. As always thank you for checking out my website and thank you for liking my posts, you guys are awesome! And Lords willing I will have the next part of life after death up tomorrow. Until next time. references: http://abcnews.go.com/Lifestyle/zombie-cat-buried-cat-believed-dead-meows-back/story?id=28519513 Hello everyone, thanks for stopping by, lets continue on with the devil’s beginning. Death came through a spirit of rebellion, a spirit to defy God. Rebellion started with the devil because he has evil in his heart. The devil brought death to the human race to our first parents. The devil knows his fate, so he wants to take us all to hell with him. That’s why he corrupted Adam and Eve telling them they would not surely die if they didn’t eat of the forbidden fruit. The devil is a liar. The Bible calls him the father of all lies. Many wonder why did Adam and Eve listened to the devil even though they knew what they were doing was wrong? One simple answer is pride, it is a trait we as humans have. They decided to believe and listen to the devil instead of God, they didn’t even think about it. They just went ahead and sinned against God like we do today. As it reads in Romans 5:12 wherefore as by one man, sin entered into the world and death by sin and so death passed upon all men for all have sinned. By once a man’s offense, death reigned, that is found in Romans 5:17. See the devil know if he could deceive Adam he could get the keys of earth. At that time Adam and Eve were the king and queen of earth, which means devil had no reigned here. He didn’t have a foothold on this earth yet. I like to use the example of the devil being like a vampire. Vampires can’t enter your home unless you invite them in. Eve invited the devil in by talking to him. Here is a fundamental truth, the devil won’t come in your life unless you invite him in. Notice how the devil came in the form of a snake, he talked to Eve but not Adam. The devil knew he couldn’t talk to Adam directly so he uses wife because she had a lot of influence on Adam; and what better way to get to man’s heart but through his wife? For the devil to talk to Eve, shows that she didn’t fully believe or trust in God because she believed the devil at the drop of a hat. She obviously had doubt in her heart and it shows Adam had doubt in his heart as well because it didn’t take much to convince him to rebel against God. Once they ate of the fruit they lost the keys of earth. They lost dominion of the world, handing it to the devil. This one act of sin dethroned Adam and Eve, giving the devil a foothold. Their one act of sin brought death and rebellion to the human race. Why did rebellion come with death? Because Adam and Eve rebelled against God bringing with it sin and death, which was the devil’s main go. As it reads in Romans 5:18 – 19 and 21 by the offense of one, judgment came upon all men to condemnation. For as by one man’s disobedience many were made sinners. That as sin hath reigned unto death. This is how death came into the world and why the devil is the prince of this world. When Adam and Eve unknowingly handed the keys of earth to the devil, they didn’t fully realize what they had done. They gave the devil reign of this world, thus his name the prince of this world. Lord’s willing I will continue on more with the devil’s beginning, until next time and thanks for checking out and liking my posts, you guys are awesome! Hello everyone how are you guys doing? Thanks for stopping by, let’s continue on with strange things part five. I remember back in 1995 or 1994 my siblings and I were watching the Discovery Channel. In the 90s that was our channel. We were always fighting over the TV on who can watch their favorite TV shows (LOL). But anyway, we found this interesting documentary where scientists put a camera on a whale so they could see how far and how deep it goes. The whale went deeper into the ocean; obviously it became darker down there. My siblings and I were glued to the screen, we couldn’t turn away. The deeper the whale went the more things seem to change. Strange and unknown as well as undiscovered animals were swimming about under the sea. The scientists were excited about these new species as well as us. But it was creeping the crap out of us yet we didn’t have sense enough to change the channel, we continued to watch. And it didn’t help that it was nighttime when we were watching this. As these new animals pop up on the screen, some seem to be smiling at you as they looked at the camera. That creeped us out even more but we continued to watch. The deeper the whale went, the darker the animals seemed. Just to be honest those new and undiscovered animals look like demons, they were right creepy and they came in all sizes and forms, talk about strange and weird. You can almost hear the X-Files theme song playing. (LOL) I have tried to find that documentary but it’s been so long ago. I can’t even tell you the name of it, but it was creepy and totally awesome. Eventually the camera exploded because the whale kept going deeper and deeper in the ocean. The scientists were disappointed and so were we. To this day I don’t think they have discovered those animals because they’re so deep within the ocean. Of course we can’t go that deep because our bodies would explode from the pressure. There are so many undiscovered things under the sea. It makes it the biggest mystery in the world, holding secrets untold. Many strange things that can’t be explained. Many cities and sunken treasures are lost under the sea. It’s even said that in the Bermuda triangle there is a pyramid on the ocean floor that sparkles in the sun’s light when it shines down. Some say it’s made of diamonds. I don’t know how true it is but a diamond pyramid under the water! Wow, that’s awesome! As always thank you for checking out my website and thank you for liking my posts, you guys are awesome! Lord’s willing I will have the next part of life after death up, until next time. |
