I've just been thinking alot lately

something about hearing people blatantly disrespecting god just makes my stomach uneasy.

recently i've been reading alot of blogging, literature, etc. online about people's opinions on god. from myspace quizzes to the official kkk website(which is a complete blast!). but what makes me uneasy is people's either blatant disrespect or misinterpretation of god and his word. i've just seen a lot of cases where people either twist it into something completely wrong or just reject it forcefully.

some of these people, however, are people i like to call my friends. or at the least acquaintances. and sometimes it's just really hard for me to be around people like that. but i also feel as if i can't just look down on them or abandon them simply because they share different beliefs than i do. i feel as if i should respect their opinion and just stand strong in the word that i know to be true and stay strong in the god that i know to be faithful so that when they come to me with questions, i can know what i'm talking about and have a well versed educated answer for them to chew on, so to speak. at the least, they can see that there's something different about me.

but it's hard for me. thinking about things like this make me uneasy for some reason. it's hard to be in the world sometimes and not be OF it. i'm not the perfect example. i'm not a good example in my opinion. my friends/acquaintances know this to be true as well.

pray for me. i'm trying to be strong, but it's hard for me. it's really hard to have the right answer all the time.

there's no real point to this i suppose. just had to get this off of my chest.
