"All your life you are told the things you cannot do. All your life they will say you're not good enough or strong enough or talented enough; they will say you're the wrong height or the wrong weight or the wrong type to play this or be this or achieve this. THEY WILL TELL YOU NO, a thousand times no, until all the no's become meaningless. All your life they will tell you no, quite firmly and very quickly.
AND YOU WILL TELL THEM YES."
In faith there is enough light for those who want to believe and enough shadows to blind those who don't.
Being a Christian is like being a pumpkin. God lifts you up, takes you in, and washes all the dirt off of you. He opens you up, touches you deep inside and scoops out all the yucky stuff, including the seeds of doubt, hate, greed, etc. Then He carves you a new smiling face and puts His light inside you to shine for all the world to see.
I just noticed he hadn't been on since he saw the KKK emoticon and posted "wtf" next to it in the PWT. I told him that there was a thread about it already and it was just Pain and Tech being twisted and he got what I thought was jokingly irate about it, and hasn't been on since.
Can't believe it would have been just because of that though.
