Sitting in lectures, what I live for and Christ coming again.

The gospel of Jesus was genius...That a fisherman could put down his nets and follow Him, yet an educated religous man doesn't find it boring, too little to go on....

It's simple, yet massive. You don't need a degree, you don't need massive vocabulary, you just need to drop your nets and follow Him. Yet the journey is never boring.

Don't get me wrong though...it's tough...but the path is simple. Narrow...but in a way,

simple.

Have I missed something? All i know is that the only thing that gets me through day to day, is Christ.

Christ crucified
Christ risen
Christ will come again

Paul, this educated religious nut gone Jesus follower says 'we preach Christ crucified'. What would things look like if we lived and preached 'Christ crucified'? What about Christ risen? What would it look like if we lived 'Christ will come again'?

The fisherman, Peter, says 'repent and turn to God'. Do we keep missing the simple genius of God's plan because we've got our backs turned to Him?

I've been wondering, while sitting in uni lectures, what would Jesus say if He walked down the stairs of the lecture room at the second coming and found me on my backside studying geobiology? hmmm...

I want to get back to the simple...the Christ crucified...I'm going to keep turning to keep turning to God.

everyone should have a voice

The most amazing thing every discovered is the human brain...probably...unless there are some really big secrets! It's ability to think and imagine...to solve problems-to even find itself in a place where it needs to solve a problem!

It's ability to make music, to paint, to make our bodies run really fast, to even consider how the universe started...

To even think 'I'm actually here'....pretty amazing...

And it's those thoughts, those abilities which I think are amazing....So I want to start celebrating thinking and the ability everyone has to be a part of this world...this big tangle of thoughts and brains that is this world...

Good on blogging for giving even a small little man like me an oppertunity to join that tangle, to get lost in thoughts.

Because everyone has a brain and thoughts and, in some form or another, everyone should have a voice.

and for those who don't? Lets start shouting really loud...
