Interesting, Very Interesting …
- For those interested about how their credit rating is doing there are a few free and low-cost solutions out there that don’t include a company that employs jingle ads.
- Interesting article in today’s Washington Post about how Montgomery Country is dropping the label “gifted” for certain students. I’m sure some parents would find this offensive since without it their beloved “super” child would be nothing more than normal, if not potentially average. We all know that being “average” just ruins the psyche of a young child and they’ll never achieve their full potential in life!!!!
While reading the article it talked about two-fifths of Montgomery Country students are labeled “gifted.” So if they’re no longer labeled as such, does that mean they’re actually the norm now? Therefore, the other three-fifths are either below average or worse???? 
- Lastly, in response to the Why Believe In God campaign by the AHA, apparently several Christian groups have started a counter-ad war. Though this may help Metro with some potential funding issues (always a good thing I guess, helps keep our fares down) it seems like WGTS 91.9FM has put out the biggest response. If you’d like to state your case about Why Do You Believe, feel free to do so! For myself, there’s probably a multitude of reasons as to why I actually believe but the most important one is that I’m a sinner. Plan and simple. I don’t deserve anything. Yet, God sacrificed His Son for me (and all you all too
). Grace is a powerful thing.
In this day and age it’s incredibly hard to feel utterly worthless. It’s not a self-confidence issue. It’s not a complex thrusted upon me by my parents that I’m worse than everyone else. It’s just a realization that I’m pretty much worthless. Worthless in a monetary sense. Worthless in a humanistic sense. That I’m just a blob of matter and ultimately whatever I do I really have no control over my own destiny or life. Yet, somone loves me for what I am, even a worthless sinner that I am. For all that I think I have accomplished on my own, I realize that there’s no friggin way I’d actually was able to do such things without the power of Christ. My worth is only meaningful when viewed through the eyes of God and not by man.My self is nothing. Only in Christ am I anything.
