Recently, I have really felt like I don't know what direction I am heading, spiritually that is... I have been praying all the time, doing my Bible Study(which I didn't do enough the last week of school/when I came home). But despite all that, I really feel a disconnect from God. This isn't a "Wichita thing". These past few weeks in Wichita have been about what I expected. This goes a lot further back. When me and Caitlin were dating I had sorta a lull in my relationship with God around November and December. In January, I really recommitted myself and started a "read the Bible in a year" thing. Then in February, me and Caitlin broke up and I was really confused. But through this, I really focused on God and tried to rely on him to get through the time. But, after coming through that time, I have felt nothing. I have been confused, in the one time in my life I really felt I needed the guidance I wasn't sure where He was. I really struggled making the job decision b/c of that. But today I visited a church called Metro East Baptist. I got my courage up and went to Sunday School despite not even attending a service yet. Well, my friends, that was the best decision I have ever made. Turns out, 2 other visitors had come. Both seemed really nice, and the class as a whole was nice. Me and the 2 other visitors(April & Rachel) sat together in service. Before and after the service we talked about our backgrounds and what we were looking for in a church. Turns out, April had just moved to Wichita 2 weeks ago and had just graduated from Texas A&M. She had moved up to Wichita despite not knowing anyone, just like me. I'm not sure if Metro East is where I will end up. But, I do know I had a great conversation today and found some really committed people who are in a similar position as me. I have both of their numbers now, so I'm gonna try and hang out with them sometime this week. It is really nice to find other Christians with the same "wants" as me, b/c at work, none of the guys have had this same desire.
Alright, change of subject. I saw this article the other day, and thought it was hilarious.
IF YOU AREN'T INTO POLITICS SKIP TO THE END... THANK YOU
Also, I thought this was great too. All these promises in the election, and none can be followed through with. I will say it time and time again... Worry about the spending issue, then cut taxes. Obama says he is coming out with an energy plan and I will be interested to see what it is. I think McCain has the right idea by promoting lifting the ban on off shore drilling. I really think drilling into ANWAR is a good thing too. Where they want to drill is the size of a stamp on a football field. A football field is 4,320 inches by 1,920 inches. A stamp is about 1/2 inch by 3/4 of an inch. Obviously, neither one of these things is a solution to the energy problem, but it would help out.
One thing that will be interesting to see in the general election is where Ron Paul's 1 million plus votes go. I would think they would mostly go to an irrelavent candidate. But, many Ron Paulites I know are voting for Obama. Then I read this article, and they seem to think McCain will benefit most from them. He is really reaching out to the Ron Paulites right now, so we will see how that goes. To me, McCain being for the war would really hurt him in getting their support b/c it seems most are just anti-war people. But, what do I know! It will be interesting to see how this all playes out.
