Another cool picture

So i still am not feeling that great...still have that lingering cough...so that means i don't have a voice. BOO! My AP tests have gone relatively good...i mean as good as any hard test can go....i saw this picture and thought it was another great example of how we as Christians tend to "stick out" in this world...i pray that we would not see this as hindering or something to be looked down on, but rather as something to be grateful for...we need to stick out to the rest of the world...to show them that what we have that is different from everyone else is well worth representing...Jesus!

Cacti? Really?

Yeah, really! I was trying to find a picture that showed the stark contrast between genuine love and what the world can sometimes offer. The flower symbolizes not only love but a genuine, sincere, true, honest, and unmannered love. Something that seems out of place in the world we live in. This love is most definitely shown to us by what Christ did for us on the cross! He was God's perfect example of genuine love. A love that no one can understand or fully wrap their minds around. It just doesn't make sense! So much of the love in this world is merit-based and can sometimes feel like a cactus! Prickly and yucky...not something you would want to hug! (Unless you like hugging cacti i guess?) I pray that we would be people, God following people that only show love that is genuine, not fake, to everyone we see....
