Yea, thats not Andrew Carnegie. It sort of looks like him but its not. That man is Charles Spurgeon. I dont know if you guys know him but hes a British Preacher. Right now I think he's called the "Prince of Preachers". What a baller title...The Prince of Preachers. Thats basically all I know about the guy sadly and this quote that he preached or said I guess.
"Have you no wish for others to be saved? Then you're not saved yourself, be sure of that!"
— Charles Spurgeon
What a baller quote from a baller preacher with a baller title...This was the quote that came into my head. It was my quote. I memorized it, -not that hard to memorize- told myself this in my head everyday, every moment, and had it up on my computer and yea it was the best quote to me. I think it's still the most baller.
So yea I'm thinking back on my life and noticed half or a bit more of my high school days were dominated by church life. I went there every Friday and Sunday maybe 3 hours before service started. Sundays I'd set up chairs, Friday I would just come early and chill with Pastor Gene Kim. <---- That man is also very baller
I miss him a lot haha. I was told that Upside(LGMC Youth Group) wasn't that big or hmmm I don't know what word...............big or.....uhhh.....active??? I don't know ahaha. I just heard that PG(Pastor Gene) did a lot to make the youth group grow in size and in their love for God. I wouldn't really know though since I wasn't there in the beginning. At that time I first got cable tv and high speed internet so I was doing this:
and some of this:
and a whole lot of this:
hehe. One Friday night my mom made me go to church -_-. I was so furious. I'm 14 years old and my mom made me give up a night of those 3 things. zomg.
yea that happened before I went out. Geez it sucked. So I went to church and WOAH. Scary...all these people know each other and they're like 2 feet taller than me and everyones doing something and omg hawt older girls. I didn't know what to do except sit on a piano chair and stare blankly into the carpet. But I kept going as I was forced by my mom to go and these scary church people are the funniest people ever. They do weird ass activities and have the funniest jokes about the dumbest things ever.
So retreat time came around. Winter retreat ehhh I went I was forced by my mom. I had fun and everything. Big sleepover with funny people take a nap and play around during service fun bus ride go home play more games. :) Summer retreat I wasn't forced I wanted to go have another fun time yay! The pastor for the summer retreat was named Pastor Sam. I have no idea what his last name was I never asked or read the booklet thingys hhehe. On the second night I guess I was "saved". Pastor Sam preached about the verse Philippians 3:8.
"Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ," -Philippians 3:8.
That was awesome. How Paul considered everything a "loss" then "dung" or crap, rubbish, shit compared to the "EXCELLENCY of the knowledge of Christ Jesus" his Lord. WOW...what a baller. He was soo in love with God that everything else to him was a loss, poop, nothing. I wish I had faith, zeal and love for God like Paul did. thats tiight.so yea id go to church participate, go to retreats, missions funfunfun. I miss it. I miss the people.
haha these rats are tiight
