Why rely on Faith when you have a Shortcut? Because;

I never realized it before, but I think I found the reason why failure exists.


People want the easy way out.


If that's not the only reason, it's definatley one of the stronger reasons why people fail themselves.


I know someone who doesn't do to well in school. This person used to do things to get A's, and he/she said it was okay because everyone else was doing it. But it was considered cheating, and it didn't truly practice his/her skill in the subject. And you know what? He/she is failing the class.


I used to know someone else who went to this big, blown up church; the kind of church so-called "Christians" go to on Easter and Christmas Eve, then never go back. Which, I still question if you need church to call yourself a Christian; but anyways. His/her whole family would go, then they would leave and still continue their terrible, selfish ways. They go to church because they wanted the easy way to heaven-- too bad there isn't one.


I'm learning that, if you seek things in life that will truly fufill you, it won't be easy finding them. Strangely, or maybe not strangely; naturally rather, I'm okay with that. I'm okay with working for things in life. I won't even touch the 'easy' way if it's not the right way. It's almost the 'smart thing or right thing' scenario. I've learned doing the right thing proves to be better than doing the smart thing. Easy to say, people often associate 'easy' with 'smart', or reverse. I've told myself to not think like that anymore... no matter how lazy I feel.


It's ironic that this occurred to me when I was sitting in geography asking to copy someone's study guide answers (which we didn't need to turn in, so I thought it would be okay). It also proves that I am hypocritical, which I'm willing to accept and change.





Please keep praying for my family, pray intensely and passionatley for them.
