Entry #3: [Zany] check your blind spot!

I have considered the fact that since this is my blog, I should include some stuff from my recent life. Considering that I have a special way of thinking about things, I can eventually turn anything around into some kind of deeper message. After all, since zany is defined as "amusingly unconventional and idiosyncratic", I should try to do things in a uniquely unexpected way as one would expect.

In recent times in my life, I have been doing practice driving. Because I used to be homeschooled and I didn't get the peer motivation to get my licence quickly, and also combined with my parent's work schedule, I got the wheels moving on getting the wheel moving to get the wheels moving pretty late. Considering I am almost out of high school, it is important that I get my driving skills up!

The other day when I was practice driving, I was changing lanes without checking my blind spot. Thankfully there was a middle lance, because I moved with a car right next to me! Also thankfully the other driver was on the ball when I did this uncareful act and avoided me. Literally thank God for keeping me safe out there! And so, on with the message for today:

Visualization

I was thinking in the shower trying to figure out how to turn this into some meaningful message. Since my Lord is also king of analogies, I decided to make it into one: As you go through your life you'll think that you know where you are going, but God may be working in a place He doesn't want you to be yet. Prayer is an effective way to "check your blind spot" before "changing lanes" in your life in order to avoid a spiritual accident.

I hope today's message has been zany enough for you! I put a lot of thought into it, but unfortunately I had to draft is hastefully. I realize the importance of having great faith in both good and bad times in one's life. So reader, as you go throughout your life be sure to "check your blind spot" with prayer to make sure you are in just the right lane that will lead you on the (proverbial) road the heaven!

Entry #2: [Zany & Serious] to finally understand

To struggle for a very long time to understand something and then to finally figure it out, even just partially is very satisfying to me. For example, I might be struggling very hard on a homework problem that has a concept that is very difficult to get, but then all of a sudden it just clicks!  To me, that is extremely satisfying and fills me lots of enthusiasm!

I've found the same can happen in my faith life too. I have been told I'm good at making analogies, and I have found I often use analogies as a part of how I think. This may be because the Bible uses a lot of analogies to make difficult ideas easier to understand. Knowing this, God saw that I had recently been going through a rough time, so He gave me the perfect analogy to help me understand!

I have always believed God loves me. Unfortunately, a fact can grow old in one's mind when one hears it the same ways for so long: it's a fact that's still there in one's mind, but it no longer resonates in their mind or heart. I knew God always loves me, but I didn't feel like it. However, while I was watching cute animal videos I finally found an analogy that makes this fact resonate with me again!

Here is that 7 minute video:

If that video didn't make your heart feel something, quite frankly there is something very wrong with you. It may not be immediately apparent for you how a man raising a baby squirrel relates to God, but to me as someone who has thought a lot about analogies and being adopted into the loving arms of my Heavenly Father God, immediately this fact finally resonated with me again!

Of course, there are a lot cynical people out there who would say it's against nature for a human to raise a wild animal and that this is a bad analogy. Those hypothetical people might be right, but I know what I felt and no one can tell me I am wrong that I felt what I felt and be correct. Jesus Christ is our Lord and Savior, for God sent His little squirrel to be killed so us squirrels can live forever!

Entry #1: [Zany] yo!

Yo! I don't know what I'm going to write about here, but I'm sure that's not an uncommon way to begin a journal. Maybe I could write about whatever happens to comes to my mind, or I could write about what does not come to my mind. Maybe I could share some anecdotes, or a brief overview of my day. Or, I could list some possible blog entry topics. Topics like, what comes to mind, or what doesn't, or anecdotes, or my day, or a list of possible entry topics.

This is fun! I like to write. It's just frustrating when I don't know what I am going to write about. Maybe I could write about no knowing what to write. But if I write about now knowing what to write, then I would have found something to write, right? But if I can't write about that, then I didn't find something to write after all. It's a big paradox!

Wow, this is fun! Wait, I already said that. Well, people like to know when you are hanging out with them that you are having fun- unless they are sadistic. Thankfully, I am not sadistic. I hope you are having fun reading this. If you are not having fun, I'm sorry. Very sorry, in fact. I wish I could be doing a better job entertaining you if that is the case. But if you are having fun reading this, please disregard these apologies. Sorry for filling you life with unnecessary apologies.

Did you see what I did there? An apology about apologies. How fun! It's a gift from God that I can makes jokes like this. Sadly, some people don't have the ability to think like I do. Or maybe that's a good thing: that I am unique! If everyone thought differently, then we would all also think the same. This crazy world would be so different it would all be the same. What a boring world that would be!

I still don't know what it is that I am writing about. I just know that I have had fun writing this. I want to write more. I don't care who reads this, as long as I had fun! That's what's important! Take notes, future me!
