Ace Attorney

I'm horrible at keeping up with this thing. My goodness. Anyway, here's some stuff that's on my mind.

As many of you might know, I love Ace Attorney. For the noobs people with lives who don't know what that is, it's a video game. It's relatively unknown in normal circles, so it's something I love to share with other people, because I want them to experience the same fun I did while playing it. I have nothing but good things to say about it, and it gives me a ridiculous sense of happiness when someone I know gives it a shot. Everyone who gave it a chance now has that same love for the game as I do (Everyone except my dear ladyfriend Joanne. Let's ignore this fact because it weakens the analogy I'm about to make). I love talking about it to people, and as absurd as it sounds, I feel this innate connection to anyone else who will know what the f I'm talking about when I yell "Objection!" and point a finger at them.

Now re-read what I just wrote, except instead of Ace Attorney, imagine that I'm talking about God.

Talk about a slap to the face.

Not everything fits perfectly, but you get the idea. The way I talk about Ace Attorney should be the way I talk about God. But that's not the case. Not even close. Something is seriously wrong with the fact that I have a stronger desire to tell people about a video game than to tell people about my Lord and Savior. I go around telling people that I'm Christian, but the things I choose to talk about and spend my time on don't really reflect that fact. I'm more of a VideogameBasketballGradesian than a Christian, honestly.

Not many people have played Ace Attorney, but I'm sure a lot of you guys can relate to my struggle. Whether it be about a TV show, a band, delicious food, new technology, the latest gossip, etc., almost all of us can say we have something that we enjoy telling others about more than we do with Christ.

Just some food for thought.

Relativity

Another physics title! Just some random thoughts..

It's always important to remember that your views and your experiences are relative and not absolute. The way that you react or respond to certain things will most definitely be different from how somebody else would. Realizing this is essential to understanding how vastly different we are as people. I try to stop myself when I notice that I'm judging people exclusively through the lens of my own experience, because I know that there is so much to them than what I myself can comprehend. When we break out of the habit of viewing people one-dimensionally, we begin to see people as individuals who have unique personalities and stories instead of collectively judging them all the same way.

I reread what I wrote and it seems super dense. I hope I made sense.

DAT RHYMED.

But actually, feel free to comment if something didn't make sense though. Because it's 3 AM, and I'm sure I wrote something that is just completely incoherent. Call me out on it. Please.

Good night!

Opposites Attract

You're a well of wisdom, I'm a puddle of folly
You're so full of giving, I'm the master of selfish living
Although I'm rotten deep down to the core
I'm still the apple that Your eyes adore


You functioned as a standard of humility
I'm often humbled by my dysfunctionality
The crowds surrounded you to learn to believe
But the only thing I'd teach someone is not to be like me, 'cause


You are holy, and I am wholly a mess
I'm causing trouble, while you remain blameless
You'll always love me as much as I need You
I'm so thankful that opposites attract

These are lyrics from a song called Opposites Attract by Koo Chung. I can't even find a YouTube video for it so I'm guessing a lot of you haven't heard it. Just wanted to share these lyrics. I love this song because it really captures how flawed we are, especially in comparison to God. I believe that true acknowledgment of this disparity is what reveals the power of the Gospel. This is what I personally need to be reminded of each and every day in order to remember why I walk with God. Hope these words reminded you too!
