Global Vision Week...

The basic goal of global vision week, that i got anyway, was the importance of missions and traveling around the world to spread the word. I would have to agree with him on this. Mainly because the bible says we are to go to the nations. With this eing said that is why I am going on the missions trip the 9th of Nov. with my alpha group and Team Solomon to Mexico. As for the events of global vision week, i didn't have a chance to make it to any of them. I really wish that i had though so that i could have broadened my horizons per se. I wanted to study abroad but given my major that is an impracticality at this moment. i will either study abroad in Graduate school or i will simply travel when i am done will my schooling. I would love to see all of Asia and Africa, and Australia... basically i want to see the entire world. It has inspired me to want to travel as much as i can. Not everyon was called to be a missionary per se but everyone is called to go to the nations. That is another point i got out of this lecture on global vision week. Stop by later to read another blog.

Genocide and Racism

Genocide is still prevalent int he world we live in today. It was brought to our attention that there are very few Holocaust survivors left alive today and once they die the truth of what went on in those times will be lost forever. The books and other various article pertaining to the subject will be there forever, but the chance to get a one on one with a survivor is growing more and more rare as time passes. Rascism is also still a harsh reality in today's society. The Jena 6 is the latest example to show up in recent news. While i am still not completely sure of the details action needs to be taken to prevent any further injustices. When the speaker was talking she was asked a question. the question was if she could ever forgive the Nazi's for what they did to her people and to her as a child. She said no. It makes me sad that people are capable of cruelty so intense that it would harden someones heart to the point that they say they will never be able to forgive them. I would hope that one day her heart is changed and that she will be able to forgive them because it is never good to keep something like that. i know it isn't easy in the least. So this is the blog about racism and genocide.

Body image, Porn, and sex i think

Well when it comes to porn, body image, and sex there has yet to be someone i have met who has had no struggle any of the following in any form or fashion. The body image concept is usually associated with girls and it is thought that they are the only ones with this problem. The porn problem is generally a guy problem but there are women who deal with this problem also. Sex is one that both guys and girls deal with at the same level but a different time in life and development. While guys begin to become interested in sex at an age closer to the beginning of high school, it seems that females hormones don't start to kick in until around their college years. The body image thing is also a big thing with guys but in a different sense than that of girls in some aspects. Women think they aren't pretty enough and guys think they aren't cute or hot enough. We are both concerned with what hollywood and magazines portray as beautiful. While the people with the fit bodies that "everyone wants" have there struggles with their body image... i find that it is particularly more difficult for those of us who are overweight. This is this blog... stop by next time for racism and genocide.
