Why do I find myself saying that more and more often. I'm back to what? Enough.
Something that has become really bothersome to me in the past while has been the level of ignorance, myself included, when concerning the current political and social reforms taking place in our country. We don't know what's going on, and some of us care more about unfounded inference than sometimes positive fact. I'm astounded at the lies that man of us believe, not only about those running our country, but also about the way we should lead our lives.
Why are we all still consumed with ourselves? Stop your buying. Start your giving.
Well, I'm back at 'home' from a year away at school in Portland, Oregon, and I must say, the 1,000 miles has really allowed for an induced culture shock upon returning to the place of my childhood. I'm regrettably focused more and more on the shortcomings of others, and my return to a town where I feel comfortable. I have not been doing much here, which could contribute to my teetering towards boredom and frustration.
I've attended church a handful of times since my arrival here, and I must say, I'm not impressed. These days, it takes a bit to impress me. It seems the only thing that can allow me to feel close to G*d at all is worship through music.
Allow me to be frank. I was just told these very words, over the internet mind you:
I'm sorry Cole. How unfortunate that you do not understand enough about history/politics that this has gone on through many administrations. Be a person, not a party.
Well now, I guess I'm just not educated enough to make a decision to vote against a presidential candidate who plans to (and I quote) "legally enforce doctors and tax payers to abort babies."
Fullerton, you are the home to people I love, but your lack of forward motion causes me to be very sad. I fear I don't have much more to say.

Church is not really so much for you but for Him bud.
I somewhat disagree. Church, in its purest form, is a small body of people intent on learning the ways of their lord, and helping each other and their community along the way. Church is a way for our individual lives to be more centered around Christ. In my definition, my PERSONAL spiritual life should be lived for Him, and I should be able to learn and experience something from church. While 'the church' or a large community of believers might make it easier to feel the Love of Christ, I don't believe that it isn't for me.
