May God's Love be with You- Myspace Relic Edt. 1

This is actually taken from an article i wrote from May 2008.

May God’s Love Be With You

I was sitting in my art class tonight. We were discussing an artist named caravagio, (im sure i mis spelled that) and his painting "the calling of St. Matthew". And we were discussing caravagio's life style. He used to get into bar fights, and was constantly drunk and even considered himself a low life.

The painting which in particular we were discussing was of the story of Jesus calling Matthew to leave his tax collecting ways and follow him. And some speculate as the reason he painted this was because he so desperately wanted someone to call him out of his life and to follow something greater. And i said, i could identify with that.

It was not that long ago that i was pleading the same thing. And a part of me still cries out that. But i found God in that painting tonight.

We are always being asked to leave our mediocre lives and to follow something greater. We are all called to something greater. Now caravagio ignored the calling, and refused to follow. But there is still hope for us.

And it's there i found God. Between all i hope for, and all i need.

Recycling...

This is awkward...I know...I haven't posted anything in a long time. I'm sorry. I've been busy, ya know...i know it's no excuse...don't look at me like that...you haven't posted anything either ya know...this isn't just a one sided relationship here...I'm tired of giving and giving and not getting anything in return...no stop...you know i can't be mad when you look at me like that...alright fine...here we go.

I've made a decision recently, after i was so beautifully reminded of my other blog over on the my space...after rereading a lot of them I've forgotten that their is some pretty good stuff over there. So sporadically I'm going to recycle an old blog post that i feel needs to see some new air, this isn't an effort for laziness...believe me i am lazy but this is not what that is. I just feel as though these blog post didn't get a fair shot at the world, so in order to pay my respect here we go. P.S. My fish died yesterday, i had that fish for almost two years.
