Imagine being able to see everything this world has to offer.Think about what you see. Is it the gigantic, green trees that are lined up like soliders? Or how about the abundant supply of water that fills the oceans around this world? Now that you are thinking about some of the vast things that lay upon this big green planet, there is one underlying condition. A disease sneaks up on you and recks havoc on many vital organs that are inside your body. One of the biggest things that is hit is your eye sight. The world becomes dark and distinct figures become blurred to black. You quickly become blind and cannot see anything. You slowly fall into a depressive state that takes over your life. What do you do now? Do you dwell on the things you can't do? I definitely would for a few days, but eventually I would start to think of the things I CAN do. I can smell the flowers that let their perfumes pierce the air. I can feel the wind that rushes through the wide-open spaces. One can make a list of things they couldn't do, but it wouldn't be as long as the many opportunities that are out there. You have to think that sometimes things we tae for granted everyday can be taken from us permanently and suddenly we're changed forever. The simplest tasks can become difficult, but you still have to have faith in what you can do. The possibilities are endless if you set you heart and mind to it.

Simply Consider
One must simply consider what they truely live for. Is it a sports team like the carolina hurricanes? or a social network formally know as facebook? the biggest thing people leave out is living for God. i have witnessed many people "worshiping" sports teams and food items and social networks. i can ever confess that i was one of those people. i was not fulfilling God's first Commandment: You shall not have any other God before me. I was putting things before God and was raising them high above me as if they were God-like. that was a big mistake because i was not doing what God has called me us to do. So i recently went through a day of fasting and didnt eat for a whole day. My stomach was growling, my head felt empty, and yet my heart still kept beating. God helped me through the day and kept reminding me that He is ALL we need. Period. If you go over to my girlfriend's blog, she has a post about having a relationship with God over being religious. I know my God. He is greater, He is Stronger, and He is above any other. I have that personal relationship with my God. He doesn't just know me, I know him.
Vision
I write this blog as a way to express my thoughts. I am going to critique restaurants, write about many things, and simply speak my mind and heart. i hope these blogs will strengthen my writing and keep my mind sharp with ideas.
