santa needs to go!!!

I was watching “yes, Chicago” Macy’s ad on TV and I was outraged and mad! Take the word Santa Claus in the ad replace it with Jesus and there you have it the true reason for the season. Santa Claus is the greatest marketing idea in history. Take one man’s idea of kindness and compassion by giving only to show gods in all things, that he is good, through a great time of suffering for Christians. I think that he would love being idolized in a fat man, a old father time beard, a red suit and best of all giving kids all that they desire with “magic“ and a toy shop as there only explanation . I think that the true St. Nick would be rolling in his grave. St. Nick reason for giving was so that god would be glorified and give the message of hope of a savior.

Every year parents of young children give in to the idea that they need to lie to there kids and steal there children’s letter to Santa. Only for the parents to wake up early, suffer long lines in the brutal cold, taking days off in order to get there child a toys to a exact specification, spending way out of there budget in order to give everything on “ the list” and if they don’t get everything they feel like a complete failure. Some parent even dress up as Santa in case there child wakes up or on purpose wake them up (more deceiving), take a bite of the cookie that children leave for Santa(deceiving ). Children giving worship and praise to a fictional idol. Hmmm…. I think that a important commandment, somewhere. If you think I’m being to cynical, who are the children giving thanks to on Christmas, why are the kids good for all year round? Do the kids really want to be good or in fear that Santa is watching? When the lie of Santa is revealed and parents see their child in painful look and most likely in tears, can they really say what that what they did was justified? In a very important time when the parent is trying to teach morals and values?

It does not take a therapist that the children are not learning about giving, they are learning about receiving. May be a better way is just to have kids select and exchange thought full gifts with other people. I learn this thanksgiving, that true thankfulness is not just a state of mind but it calls for a outward response. Its time to celebrate Jesus!!!

Life is good

It has been about 2 weeks since i quit my job at fedex ground and it feels like a massive amount of weight has been lifted off my shoulders. I have about 2 months save up so that is until i go home for winter break and its not alot but its enough to pay the rent, food and gas. I lasted 7 months at fedex and it seem like a very short time but the average person lasts about 2 weeks. You can tell who is staying and who is going to quit just by looking at the person. Even manager are like that too i had 5 manager in the past 7 months. My last manager pushed us all to the edge. Even people that have been at fedex for years quit because of this guy.

I think that chris rock said it best, when he said ” you know when you hate your job when you sit on the toilet for a long time and you dont even have your pants down and you are thinking about how much you hate your job”.

On the last day that i worked for fedex there was only 5 guys left on the shift. That average about one person doing the amount of 4 people work. So my boss comes in to my trailer and yells at me because the other trailers are full and its really not my fault. So i stayed until the end the day and I said that if I dont come in tommorow than i quit. So the next day came and i was sitting in my car at the fedex parking lot and i said to myself “im not going to go in” over and over again. That is what i did everyday for the last 2 months but somehow i drove away…..

im happy and i feel that i have my life back

life is good….

john4:24

God is spirit, and his worshipers must worship in spirit and in truth.

Philippians 2

5 Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus, 6 who, being in the form of God, did not consider it robbery to be equal with God, 7 but made Himself of no reputation, taking the form of a bondservant, and coming in the likeness of men. 8 And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself and became obedient to the point of death, even the death of the cross. 9 Therefore God also has highly exalted Him and given Him the name which is above every name, 10 that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, and of those on earth, and of those under the earth, 11 and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

I wanna see the broken hearts
Finding hope in God above
I wanna know I’m doing all I can
So with this life, with all I am
No matter what the cost may be
I pray to see your love become our cause
-hillsong united

may my heart break for the things that break yours
