My Reality

      It has been almost two weeks since i entered the realm of college, and yet it feels like way longer. Not a whole lot has happened physically, but mentally i have had my brain ripped apart. Physically I exist here at Southern, but i feel like my mind lives somewhere else.
      As i look around me, i am surrounded by hundreds of people, and yet most of them don't seem to notice that they too are surrounded by hundreds of people. I know for most of you, you are use to this, but for me, this is a new feeling, and new realization of the world i live in. And as i think back on all the years of my schooling, i have never felt this way. I have always been friends with everyone in my school.
      For those of you who know me fairly well, you will know that i am a pretty sociable person. But when you place me in a crowd of strangers i usually become very quiet and just want to stay out of everyone's way...

Southern = BIG crowd of strangers.

      Because of this, I have found myself doing exactly what 90% of the population on this campus is doing. Living in my own world. Doing what i want. Talking to whom i want to. Eating meals with my friends.(actually, mostly my brother)
      I am not sure exactly where i am going with this whole tangent, but i do know that something is not right. I believe this was not and is not the way God intended us live. I say "us" because i am preaching to myself more than any of you.
      I doubt many people will read this. But for those of you who do, don't let this "state of being, of living in your own world" become your reality too.

      Jesus had a reality. His reality was to go out of His way, to live in someone else's world. To do what someone else wanted. To make a new friend. To eat with strangers.  

Lets make this our reality too...
