I had this

English homework, and I had to pick between three topic. I tried the first on efinished it and didn't like it, so I did the second, finished and didn't like it, here is the third, and I am turning it in tomorrow, so I hope no one has any suggestions.


In one corner we have the Anglo-Saxon hero, and in the other, there is your American “hero.” Let the battle commence. No! Man, what’s this; the American is goin’ down. Five, four, three, two, one…*the bell rings. * But the Americans are not surprised, they just move on to their next hero, whether it is sex, drugs, or alcohol. This is my depiction of America’s modern hero, vs. the heroes of the Anglo-Saxon.

Most Americans would readily agree that Jesus is their hero, however, the American Jesus is a lie. The “Jesus” that is preached is one that loves you no matter what, he wants you to be happy, and to bless you. He has the aesthetic value that Americans are looking for, the “pretty blue eyes, curly brown hair, and clear complexion.” He promises love, joy, peace, and happiness that he can never give, and he possesses all the qualities Americans think their hero needs. But, as you saw he doesn’t win. Why… because he doesn’t exist. He is a lie brought up from the pit of hell, and he is dragging thousands of Americans back to where he came from.

The real hero that America is looking for has already saved the day, and won the battle. They just don’t like the message that He preaches, a message of personal holiness, and righteousness, being in the world, but not of it. He died and bore the sins of the world; He covered Himself in your vomit, so much so, that His Father could not even look at Him. So you see that the real American Jesus is holy, and He won’t compromise His witness with the “hate the sin, love the sinner” message. He hates the sin, and the sinner for his sin, and He is sending them to hell every day; and the people hate Him because of it. So, they make their own hero, a Jesus that allows them to justify their sin. They turn their back on the one, true, holy Hero, spit on Him, and slap Him, because they love their sin, and want to stay in it.

Compare the American’s hero to the heroes of the Anglo-Saxons, and the Anglo-Saxons will come out on top every time. They will conquer because the American hero is weak. He is all talk with no power. Don’t get me wrong; both are strong and handsome, both save the day, and rescue the town. They’re lifted high, and honored for their bravery, so it is not a matter of strength. The American hero cannot win because he is simply a figment of the people’s imagination. He can never win because the real American hero has already won, and not even the Anglo Saxons hero can beat him. The power of the cross is too strong for any hero, devil, or spirit to overcome. With just one look the real Jesus can bring the Anglo-Saxon hero to his knees. He will always prevail where the true Christian battles.

My humble atire.

McDonalds provides my uniform. Right down to the tapered black pants. I may be altering those. But, the lady said that she is going to talk to them and see if she can talk them into raising my pay just a tad. But as soon as they enact the new bill about minimum wage I should get a raise. Gotta go to school now. Bye.



P.S.- Lauren, you prolly do know, Bekah didn't even get it.

Yo tengo trabajo a McDonald's

So, I now have a job at McDonalds, and I go in wednesday to see about orientation and all. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to give 2 weeks notice, because I don't know how, and I am kinda nervous. Yup, so everybody needs to come to the McDonalds in Central, on monday,friday, saturday, and sunday. I think it will all be in the evenings, except for on saturday. I get to wear a t-shirt to work though, which is cool. I don't get paid hardly at ll, but I get a raise every 6 months. 99% of the people that work there, atend my school, so it is fun for me.
I have a research paper due friday, and two English lessons thursday. and I have to read like 20 pages in chemistry by tomorrow, so I have to go NOW!! Love yall,



Jo


P.S.- I just realized people could call me that, but can think of onlly one person that I would want to call me that (and it is no one that I have met yet) . So, nobody call me that.

Me Gusta..

I love Physics and Chemistry. We did a lab today in both of those classes, I had a blast. I was the only one that finished the lab in Chemistry because I stayed durring lunch. It was great. We tested temperature vs. time in Physics, and we separated a mixture in Chemistry. I can't wait to do more. The teacher is pretty cool, this is his first year so he has alot to learn, but he teaches pretty well.

He shall bring forth his righteousness as the light...

I got my schedule worked out, and I am going to have off tuesday thru thursday starting next week, meaning I have to work sunday evenings ( really stinks, I know). But hopefully McDonalds will call me back soon. I like my schedule, and I am doing the fall play production. My new physics and chemistry teacher looks just like Kip from Napoleon Dynamite ( he even lets some kids call him that), and his name is Mr. Losness, reminds everyone of the lochness monster. I have Art I which is fun, I like it, I get to sit next to Anne the foreign exchange student from Germany, she is pretty cool. The teacher talks about your art as though she is complementing a 2 year old, but she is nice. She did the whole, has any one seen my glasses thing, and they were on her head, yeah it was funny.

I found a verse in Ephesians I want to share with you:

"For you were once in darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Walk as children of light( for the fruit of the spirit is in all goodness, righteousness, and truth) finding out what is acceptable to the Lord. And have no fellowship with unfruitful works of darkness, but rather expose them. For it is shameful even to think about such things which are doone by them in secret. But all things that are exposed are made manifest through the light, for whatever makes manifest is light. Therefore He says:
Awake you who sleep
Arise from the dead
And Christ will give you light.
See then that you walk circumspectly, not as fools but as wise, redeeming the time, because the days are evil. Therefore do not be unwise, but understand what the will of the Lord is. 1And do not be drunk with wine, in which is dissipation; but be filled with the Spirit, speaking to one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord, giving thanks always for all things to God the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, submitting to one another in the fear of God.

It kinda brings together all that I have been learning in 1 John and in John. It works perfectly with the house church and relationship mindset.

I love you guys, enjoy your week, I am praying for you.

So...we just had like ten gazillion people over here, and all the clean-up is done, and the dishes are drying. I feel ...nothing. My feeling don't matter so why care to talk about them. That is what matters, why do I get upset, sad, frustrated, aggrivated, stressed, happy,ect.. I just am. My spirit is as it should be, my man is healthy, I have a right standiing before God, and I am abiding in Him, what is there left to feel. Every time anyone says the word feel in referance to anything not in the physical I think of the emo world, and the mockery of the emo girl on stupid videos. But, yeah, anyway...

Escuela

So, I am going to graduate early, hopefully, if they get my schedule worked out llike they say they can. And I am going to apply for a job at ___?(I know but I'm not telling)?___, because they give you scholorships, if you stay with them through college. I have to be dillegent about turning in my English lessons now, and I have to take the ACT as soon, and as much as possible. But this does mean that my planning to get a laptop in a year was God, I will deffinately need one in college. One year away, I don't have to claim the drama of high school anymore. As of today, my stupid school only has me scheduled for 2,3,4 and 5th period classes. We will see thursday if any improvments have been made.

I went to the dentist today, and they numbed the wrong side of my mouth, so both sides were numb for like 30 min. but then only the one they put numbing shots in was numb. It hurt, so my mom told me to go get a snow cone, and I god a yellow pineapple one, and they overflowed it and got yellow juice all over my hands, and the only place it won't was off is my fingernail beds, my fingers look like the nails on the commercial for the nail disease with the ugly bug crawling under it.(Ok, its not that bad, but it does look diseased) I also founf that I don't like my fingers, they look pudgy, and masculine. Darn Poppy, he had to pass those genes on. I got my paycheck today though, so that was a plus, but I only got last weeks deposited because this weeks was late when I went to pick it up, so I got it when I got off of work at nine.

My mother and I are spending the day together tomorrow. We may go see a movie, we are not sure yet, but I will never get to see her once school starts.

RANDOM FACT: I will never highlight my hair lavender, Blonde maybe for a few more months, but after that it is my natural hair all the way, Maybe, just only naturaly colors, never lavender though.

Jesus said:

"They will know you by the love you have for one another." If that is true then I must ask God to teach me how to love you all, because that is my witness, and if I don't then I would be in sin, because I would know the truth, and not walk in it. That truth is the word of God, and in John it says," In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God." And God is eternal, always speaking new things, (and showing us things that are old to some, or that we have heard a million times, but we now see it in a new light). Meaning that we are always to be changing, because his words are living, anf growing and changing. If his word is truth, that means that the truth is living, and growing. And if we are to know and follow that truth, then we are to be living and changing. Do you see what I am trying to say?

Well, I have found that I must seek to bring the living word of God to every person I meet, not just to Home Church on Sunday( I need to do that too), and that without the love of God I am nothing, and so much more is he showing me, but I will have to talk to you in person because I am probably the slowest typer on the planet earth, mars, saturn, and I don't know how to spell the "j" one and I typed it out like jupider, and I gathered that that was not it, it looks too much like stupider. Which is how I feel right now because I can't spell.

Ok, well my body aches, ( you know the grumblings and moanings that are always crying out for us (It says it in Romans), well I think I am begining to feel why they are moaning. At least my legs do.
