General Note

Hey everybody!

Just wanted to thank all of you for reading and supporting my blog. I know many of you are reading for multiple reasons. Some are looking for someone to relate to, some see this as refreshment and others see it as stupid.

Regardless of why you read or follow my blog, I must be clear that my articles are written to express myself. These are based off my experiences and interactions, my thoughts and observations. I'm not out to cause holy-war or anything. If you agree, great. If you disagree, great. If you don't care, great.

If you don't like what I post, don't read it. Simple as that. If you like what you read, continue to support it. I do my very best not to judge people for who they are. I do my best not to look down on anyone as individuals --  it's not my place to do so.

Yes, I'm very open on where I stand with controversial/sensitive issues, but it doesn't mean I dislike or condemn people. I simply condemn the actions. Again, I'm in no place to make judgements. But expressing my feelings or stance on a certain subject is harmless, as long as I don't cast judgement or negative words on individuals.

I also understand some of my posts aren't super detailed and descriptive, which could definitely make for misinterpretation. I apologize, I'm clearly not a professional writer. That being said, my writing style is unique. If it's not one that agrees with you, again, nobody is making you read my material. So please, if it's a headache, don't read my posts.

Thank you for reading and your support!

Looking forward to getting to know my readers through interaction on this site, as well as twitter and facebook!

In XC,
KentBoy

...Well, I Suppose It Means Something.

I'm taking a comparative religious thought class this semester. I have to admit, it's a wonderful course. It's nice to learn about other religions and to see how they intertwine with the differing cultures. Looking at the big picture, I see a colorful variety of religions, beliefs and practices to choose from. The diversity is rich and there's beauty in all of it. Throughout the course, my professor has been very good at remaining neutral to all religions. This is good, because it's easier to be less skeptical of what he's teaching. At the same time, it concerns me how neutral he is. For me, I like to discuss religion on a deep theological level. Although I came to find out that most people have no clue how to go into deep thought about religion. Demographic wise, my class is primarily familiar with Christianity, though not very many actually practice the faith. Most people know the story of Jesus, and are convinced that most religions have a belief pattern

Open-minded? Closed-minded? Brainwashed? Smart? Stupid?

Glory to Jesus Christ! Glory Forever! So often I read or hear people say that us religious folks are closed-minded. We're closed minded because we believe in a book "made by man," therefore giving it no credibility. We believe in a god who doesn't exist, and we have rules to live by (us Christians call them 'commandments'). Religious people are also closed-minded because we have a clear distinction between right and wrong, and might not always have solid evidence as to why we believe the way we do. This 'right & wrong/anti-anything goes' way of thinking also means we're judgmental. In the end, any religious person would say it all comes down to having Faith. But is this really the case? I mean, is it really the religious people who are closed-minded? Or is it the individuals who dismiss religion who are closed-minded? Well, I'm sure the open-minded/closed-minded thing goes both ways depending on the issue at hand. For todays post, I&#

A Thanksgiving Miracle

The Thanksgiving Miracle I dedicate this to my old roommate, who will never read this, and more importantly never know he gave me my Thanksgiving miracle. This was written last year, a few days after it happened... and to this day, I hold this experience close to my heart. Since I wrote it, I have not edited or revised it beyond name changes (to keep those involved anonymous) and spelling errors.  _____         __________     _______________  November 22, 2011 was a day just like any other. I was up late the night before and had to wake up early for class, which of course meant being exhausted all day, and more importantly, not getting (nearly) enough beauty sleep. So by default I knew when I woke up Tuesday morning that I would be tired and somewhat lazy; thinking about nothing but being able to go to my apartment and take a nap before my OCF (Orthodox Christian Fellowship) meeting.             As predicted, my day was nothing more than average. I went to my
