You Only Love Jesus If You Like This Photo

We've all seen those photos on Facebook. "Like if you love Jesus. Keep scrolling if you love Satan." Probably hundreds of times. I'm just gonna come right out and say those posts tick me off almost more than anything. Imagine if a new Christian is scrolling through Facebook fast and passes by one of those photos on accident. He (or she) is gonna think they are going to hell. Well let me tell you one thing: As a loving Christian I'm 100% sure Jesus is going to love you no matter what you do. He isn't gonna think a stupid picture on Facebook is going to prove your love for Him. As long as you say and prove you love Him, you're in the clear. Now, I'm not saying go out and do drugs, get drunk or have sex with a bunch of people. Read the bible. Go to church. Expand the kingdom. That's all you need to do. End of rant.

21

Today (August 25th) is my 21st birthday. The 21st birthday is a milestone for many people. You get to celebrate another year of life. Although I won't, people use their new found ability to drink to celebrate and get drunk. I wanna share with you guys 21 things I have learned in my 21 years of life. And if you are asking, yes, I added the twenty one pilots logo because my age is the number in their name. Here goes nothing!

1. Don't turn on that computer at 4 AM at age 13 and start what would soon be a 7 year porn addiction. 
• I unfortunately still struggle with it but it is better than it has been.
2. Don't call the girls "sexy" on the first day of school at a new school
• Yeah I (used) to be immature.
3. Not every girl you meet is your girlfriend
• I have made this mistake too many times and it will lead to heartache.
4. (Most) friends from high school aren't forever
• Another thing that'll cause heartache and you damn well better learn this now. Shane and Melissa, Thanks for sticking with me for 8 years. Love you two
5. The girl you take to Prom isn't forever and it'll most likely go down in flames
• She might even give her number to another guy who had 2 girlfriends and took a whole different girl to Prom. Can someone say player?
6. Don't spend your money on whatever you want
• Shouldn't you tithe and put some in savings? It's not good to be at $0 at 21.
7. Don't get a credit card just to get the teller to shut up
• I'm actually in debt and have no way to pay it off because I'm out of a job and it sucks. Once it's paid off, I'm gonna be shredding it.
8. Whether you are a girl or guy, you will cry. All this is true because it rhymes.
• You're gonna cry over your first heartbreak. You can't fight it.
9. Someone close to you will die
• I've never met anyone my age that hasn't had someone close to them, whether its a family member or friend.
10. Stop eating when you're full, not until you're sick
• I know the food kicks ass but really its not worth weighing 260 lbs. 
11. Go to the gym
• Workout till it hurts and don't quit just because you can't pay for it
12. It's okay to be 21 and not have been in a relationship yet
• Eventually you're gonna get over it and it will be around your 21st birthday. Plus, being single is fun!
13. It's okay to be 21 and not have had your first kiss
• Seriously I've heard you better be ready for it though. Gonna be amazing
14. Don't tell the boss at your first job that you need every weekend plus next Wednesday off.
• He will schedule you only for every Friday, Saturday and occasionally Sunday. He will still tell you "You kick ass" or "You're my best employee." Doesn't add up.
15. Writing songs will make you one of the most popular kids in school
• One of my worship songs was played in chapel like my freshman year and the rest is history.
16. Don't reply to emails from the girls in home school
• It can get you into a heap of trouble and sin
17. Writing songs or poems really helps
• Writing a song or a poem can really get your mind off things. Hey, one day it could be a hit song or poem.
18. Music saves lives... it literally saved mine
• I was considering suicide after Miss Prom girl back in 2012. God played "He Said" by Group 1 Crew and I cried because that song prevented me from ending my life.
19. Stay in contact with your former Youth Pastor... Even when he moves away to Seattle
• Just like the song, he saved my life by giving me a call. God put that in my life
20. Don't stop going to church
• Church can help you with a lot of your problems and most of the time, any of the pastors are available to talk to you if you need someone
21. PRAY
• Last but not least, praying is the only way out because as I have said before, God is the only one who is there to listen.

If you read this, thank you. It took me a couple days to write and I'm hoping these help you. Some of them were hard to write and share with you.

Until Next Time,

Alex

I Want Hillary Clinton to Win the Democratic Nomination For President

Before I actually start this post, I should let you know that I am Republican. Being Republican, you might see that title as an oxymoron, but I challenge you to read on as I make some very valid points.

I'm sure all of you have heard about Clinton's email scandal. People don't trust her. Its as simple as she cost the lives of Americans and she doesn't give a flying fig. I saw a comment on a Facebook post the other day asking "If you could ask Hillary Clinton anything, what would it be?" The comment was "Would you act differently on this situation if your daughter was in Benghazi when the killings happened?" Also let me say if a Republican did this, they would have been sent to prison with no bail and forced to stop running for president.

She is just like Obama and doesn't care about Americans. She is a female version of Obama.

Another thing that is getting on both Republicans and Democrats nerves is Planned Parenthood. If you didn't know, they are taking aborted babies parts and selling them. THAT IS ILLEGAL. Clinton has the guts to say she supports it. Which leads me to the same question that was stated before. "What if your daughter got an abortion on the baby she just had?" Again, of course she would feel different.

My point here is, if Hillary wins the Democratic nomination, she can't win the oval office. She isn't trusted enough. That way we can get a Republican back in the office for the first time in too long
