So fresh and so clean......

So check it, this is my first blog and im kind of excited but more excited that im at the beach.  Recently i have had many friends get blogs so i said why not it will keep my typing skills up and probably provoke some pretty good thoughts.  So today on the way to the beach i was thinking about my blog and how i could kind of kick it off but nothing really brilliant came to mind.  A little while down the road i started asking myself questions and not really getting any answers and i began to wonder why.  Constantly i ask myself questions about every thing and anything why my beard is red, why i do some of the stupid things i do, why do i fail to talk to people when i really do love and care for them, and ect..  Now in thinking this i began to realize that our prayer life as christians for the most part simply consists of us asking ourselves questions and why would we know the answers to our own questions....?  we don't and i think this is where the over used term un-answered prayer comes from (at least to our traditional christian society) and we use it as a crutch to cover our selfish ways.  I believe that all to often we replace God with our image and we ask ourselves questions wanting the answers that we seek and not seek the answers that we need and those are the answers that God has for us.  When did we become so calloused that replacing God with ourselves becomes second nature.  When did did we become so arrogant and not even know it.  So in this scattered thought of a first blog i ask.  Have you become selfish in your prayer life?  Has an amazing creators name been replaced with your own?  Will you change no matter the cost?

peace like paul.
