Intense Simplicity

I'm not going to be the first guy to be apologetic to you.  I have my views and if they make me a "bad guy" in your eyes, then so be it.  Maybe I'm like Lebron in a way, I'll accept my role as the villain.  I don't really like saying things or doing things to make you feel more comfortable.  I'm a straight shooter, most of the time.  If you're getting on my nerves, you'll know either because I tell you, or because you can read it on me.  I put my heart and soul into a lot of things and even though in the end, it sometimes turns out to be a bad idea, I don't care.  Intense.  One of my old coaches used to talk about how all of us had fire in our eyes, and malice in our hearts.  I'd like you to see that I have fire in my eyes and yeah, sometimes there's a little malice in my heart.  I'm just that kind of guy.  When it comes to protecting people, I WILL take you out! I'm not complicated, I don't use a lot of complicated strategies to get my point across. Straight and to the point.  Simple. I don't wears masks.  I'm not good at faking a smile, or faking that "phone voice" everyone usually has.  I'm all on the surface.

I felt like I needed to write that.  Don't know why.  Just felt like it.  I think Jesus was the same way.  Of course, He had a handle on himself much more than me, but I think He's where I take my passion.  Remember in the Bible, when He basically tore up the temple where all the moneychangers had camped out?  He stood up for His beliefs and when necessary, He got loud and let you know what they were.  He wasn't afraid to let it out.  I really think as Christians we have to be that kind of person.  I look around the campus I live on and then around the world we live in and I see one thing, extreme compliance.  When were we called to do that?  I believe wholeheartedly in loving people, but come on, we can't lay down our morals just for the sake of other people being comfortable.  I feel like I am one of a few who still feels this way.  If we'd all have an intense simplicity about our walk with Christ, I think the world would really start to buy into our passion!

I really worked what I'm calling this blog in today, so there's what this is about.
