My Graduation Speech.

I realize that this is October and that I should have posted this back in May when it actually happened but ya know me, I just like to keep y'all in suspense.   It's all part of my evil plan.  (insert your own version of an evil laugh here)

Anyway, without further ado, here is my graduation speech.... Finally.

Ok, well maybe a little bit of ado, but anywho.  Did I mention that I graduated with the most awesome people ever!  They are all such good examples of what Godly young people should look and act like and I love them all!  (and trust me...  I need all the good examples I can get. :))

My Speech:
Most of the graduates this year can probably relate to me when I say that the most annoying thing that anyone can ask you once you tell them that you are about to graduate is "What are you going to do after you graduate?"  I know that most people mean well, and that this stems from a genuine interest in your life and a desire to find out just exactly what you are interested in, in short... It shows that they care about you.  But frankly sometimes I just don't know how to answer them and I feel like saying, "Does it matter?"  But I have not said that to anyone yet....  Much to my mothers surprise, and am not going to do it this time.

So when you asked me that question, I came up with and answer that really is kinda lame, just to ya know....  Get that one over and done with.  I realize that my worldview is slightly different them some of you out there.  So to make it up to all of you who have asked me this question in the past, and have gotten one of my lame, half hearted answers.....  Here is you answer.


First after high school, I am going to be helping in the discipleship of my younger brothers, and sisters, and building relationships with them that are worth having.  Because if you cant have a good relationship with those that love you the most, who can you have a good relationship with?



Second, I am going to help run my mothers house to the best of my ability.

Third, I am going to help my fathers business become one of those very successful, private companies that the government is continually trying to convince us is evil.  If this is indeed the case I am greatly looking forward to what they so lovingly refer to as "evil".

Fourth, convincing my mother that eighteen is in fact the magical age.

And last but not least developing a stronger deeper relationship with Jesus Christ my savior,  determining his will for my life, and living it out each and every single day, of my life.

Thanks for reading!

Like Rubbish in the Windshield.


My Thoughts On...
        College, Education, and Christian Parents Negating Their 
                                      God Given Duties.                                                                 

Actually part of the reason that I am writing this is because I have been thinking about it a great deal lately and partly because I just needed to vent, and I thought my blog would be the perfect place to do it.

6 Train up a child in the way he should go;
   even when he is old he will not depart from it
.
(Proverbs 22:6)

Not that I think that I am better than anyone else out there, in fact I am probably worse than all of you that are reading this.  But I want to start this off with a couple of questions.....  Why would I want to go to an educational institution where they are just going to pump a bunch of stuff that I don't believe in into my head, where they are going to teach me a bunch of stuff that I probably already know, or could find out very easily, and where they are going to change up history, muddle science, and reject the sovereign law, and existence of our Father in Heaven?  (Not to mention all the worthless propaganda that comes out of there.)

When did the order change from discipleship and mentorship, to large classrooms full of students taking whatever is fed to them?  What was wrong with the system of apprenticeship that was instituted in years past?

The answer my friends is because it is popular, it is accepted, because you supposedly won't be able to get a job without it, and because there just isn't anyone doing this anymore.  Here then is another question for you.  Why not?  Why are we as Christians, as warriors for Christ not taking this idea, this biblical principle, and running with it? Why are fathers  of this day and age rejecting their God given roll as protecter, provider, and teacher.  Why are mothers today running off to get a college degree, putting their children in the public education system and joining in the fray of politics, and business, along side the men?  Why are we sacrificing our children's spiritual well-being up to the god of convenience.  I do not know what possesses men, and nations to think that they can become God, but I do know that we as believers should do our best to steer clear of these public institutions, that will just fill our heads with all this metaphorical rubbish that has so cluttered the dashboard of our society today that we can no longer see the road that has been set before us.  We are much too apt to let this happen in our lives and I believe that it is, and will prove fatal in the end, should we choose to expose ourselves to the godless institution that the college system has proven itself to be.

While at the beginning we may go into these institutions untainted and optimistic, I believe in the end we will come out much the worse, with little or no benefit to our spiritual and mental well being.  Therefore brothers and sisters, I would caution you as you consider this path, as it may lead to a place from which only few are able to return.


Thanks for reading!

Wow, This Is So True. College Conspiracy.

         I know that this is kinda, ok not kinda it's a really long video but in my opinion it's definitely worth it. It's just amazing how much our culture today has bought into the lie that makes up our modern day education system that, obviously isn't working.

          I'm probably going to be following up on this video with more of my thoughts on the whole college education system later. But for now enjoy, and let me know what you think.

          Just to let you know this video is about one hour long.
