Well.. School has started back up and the first full week of this semester is drawing to a close. What do I have to say about it? HARD!!! Why do I say it’s hard? Because I have two English classes right after each other, then I have Precalc.

If you go and visit my PhotoBlog, you would have seen a picture of my schedule. The url to that certain post is: http://www.picshere.info/?p=9 and there you will see the picture. As you can tell it isn’t any where near as easy as last semester!! But with God’s help I will survive it and make good grades, so please pray for me haha

But why the title “Books, Books… Reading”? The reasoning is because in those two English classes I’m reading different books in them. The book I’m reading in my “20^th Century Literature ” class is title All Quiet on the Western Front. The    book we’re reading in my “Contemporary Literature” class is titled Where Are The Children?. Some of you probably haven’t read any of them, but the book All Quiet on the Western Front is a very graphic novel!! One of the scenes in that book is this:

…The fire lifts a hundred yards and we break forward. Beside me a lance-corporal has his head torn off. He runs a few steps more while the blood spouts from his neck like a fountain.

I have a weak stomach for stuff like that, and whenever I read that part I started to feel light headed (like I am right now after reading that while typing it). This book is getting very good yet at the same time very graphical and that almost makes me want to stop. But since it’s for a grade I’ll keep on reading it. Haha

Well this is all for right now.. I do have some thoughts in my head for a couple of articles I’m thinking of writing. If you follow me on Twitter or Facebook you would know what one of them is. But that’s all I’ve wrote for tonight haha

Good Night and God Bless,

You’re probably thinking what I weird title this post is, but the the more unique you make them the more interested a reader is. But this article isn’t going to be long like the rest of mine are, it’s going to be short because I’ve got a church dinner to go to here in a couple of minutes. And I’ve got to set up a little sound system there, so I’ve gotta be there early than normal.

But what I am really posting about is this picture. This is part of the code for ApostolicBook. If you click the picture you’ll see a bigger image, and then see how many “divs” there are. Looks confusing? Yeah it probably is to you if you don’t know anything about code and if you haven’t seen the whole code of the website (which is almost all of my readers) then it is confusing. :p But that’s a ton of “divs”, why so many? Because ApostolicBook is going to be a table-less website design, it does require a bunch of “divs” that are styled by CSS. I enjoy doing it because it’s challenging to me and my mind! What you think of this many “divs”?

P.S: Aaron Ogle is another person working on ApostolicBook and Jared Hilton is helping us out.

I was at lunch last Monday (November 2^nd) listening to some people sitting beside me. I got disturbed because they were talking about this certain person that we all know who is not only a pot head BUT also big into going to church. He is not apostolic.

They were talking about how this certain person smokes pot, does acid, and other things like that. Then someone spoke up and asked, “Isn’t he big into going to church?”

The original person talking answered, “Yes, he does, but he says ‘God created it, so why not use it and do it?’.”

Another person spoke up, who also does drugs, and said, “Exactly!”

My mind immediately started going 100mph thinking! Here is what I was thinking, and what I have to say to that.

The first thing that came to my mind was Adam and Eve in the garden of Eden. In Genesis 2:9, the Bible says,

“And out of the ground made the LORD God to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food; the tree of life also in the midst of the garden and the tree of knowledge of good and evil.”

God created the ground to make plants and trees which then produced fruit and food. Then in verses 16 and 17 of chapter 2 it says,

“And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat: But of the tree of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest there of thou shalt surely die.”

You see, from the beginning of the human race, we’ve always had rules to obey and follow.

God created everything that was in the garden of Eden, but did he make everything for Adam and Eve to eat? Obviously from scripture the answer is no. God created the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, but it wasn’t made to be eaten by the human race. Then what was the tree of the knowledge of good and evil created for? That’s a question I’ll leave open for pondering since I don’t know the answer (even though after talking with some people, I have something in my head of what I think it might have been made for, but it’s probably not the true answer since we’ll never know until heaven!).

Now back to my original thoughts. Since weed, pot, and drugs were created, does that give mankind the right to smoke, chew, or do anything of that sort with it? I feel the answer is no for three reasons.

One reason is because of the garden of Eden example. The second reason is because our body is God’s temple. Second Corinthians 6:19-20 says,

“¹⁹What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? ²⁰For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God’s.”

If our bodies are the temple for the Lord God to dwell in, then why would we want to destroy or alter our minds or modify our body to our liking by doing drugs? The third reason is because everything was created for a purpose.

So, here are some questions that I present to you. If God created it, then was it made to be used by mankind? Or did He create it for a different purpose? Did God put something in us so that we know what we can and cannot do of the things that are on this Earth?

God Bless,
