Conclusion

Conclusion

In conclusion, making this blog was exhausting and some times boring but doing it, I learned a lot great things.  While doing the blog project my writing skills leveled up and it’s noticeable in every post. I wrote all my blog’s posts from a Christian’s perspective and that helped discover things that I know will help me in life later on. In addition to that, my relationship with God now has a stronger base. Taking time to work with the blog wasn’t always easy. I play soccer and the marriage post was done by me during a game before entering the field. The making of the blog got to be frustrating but I enjoyed learning from it and some of the themes were surprisingly interesting. I hope you enjoy reading my blog. My name is Misael A. Velez Ortiz and I’m thankful for you viewing. 

The world

The World

            The world is a beautiful gift given to us by God. God created this world for us to enjoy it and have a joyful life adoring him. The world has evolved during time going from a beautiful, colorful, fully natured place into an industrial and full of cement landscape.

I’m not saying evolution is a bad thing, what I’m saying is that we shouldn’t keep destroying our nature. The world, other than including us (humans) it includes animals and the natural features. When we built for us, we usually destroy animal habitats and plants that help us subsist in some way. Some other way that we usually do and destroy our world is throwing trash around, gases, substances, etc. Our children’s life depends on how we protect our world. If we want our descendants to have an healthy/happy life, we have to make an effort, unite and star saving our planet before it gets to late if that time isn’t already here.   

                                      

Education

Forbidden Education

            Education is being forbidden to us by the system and we are helping it happened. School has being the principal access to education for us for over 200 years. The problem is, school and education are different things. School is defined as any institution at which is given in a particular discipline and it’s excluding the nature of learning, the liberty of election, the importance love has and the human ties in the individual and collective.  The system is ill posed. It’s either that or that the system wants us to get “educated” so we can be some kind of slaves that work for them.

     

      School was first made at the 19 century to teach warriors and workers (create a country that works for the government). Education is not what we think it is. What the system is doing is blocking us from the real world. Education hasn’t updated. What we learn is school doesn’t prepare us for the real world. They are trapping us inside a world of competition and discrimination in which we are suppose to learn the opposite and stopping us from the world we will eventually face by our own. Why do kids love to learn but hate school? School has turned into a gigantic babysitting place, and for the kids it’s jail. We need to stop living in this jail and be free. God created us we the great gift of being able to reason and think. We need to come together and find the real way to get educated.

Movies

Movies

This week’s theme for my blog is “Movies” and I chose to discuss the movie “God’s not dead”. In the movie God’s not dead a freshman university student Josh Wheaton attends a philosophy class, where the uncompromising Professor Radisson requires all students to submit a signed statement that the "God is dead" and never existed. When Josh refuses due to his own Christian beliefs, the Professor challenges him to defend his position that his God is real - which leads to a series of confrontational presentations between himself and the professor, with the class as jury. Josh's plans to go to law school depend on not failing this class. Josh's fellow Christian girlfriend urges him not to throw away his future with this meaningless action of defiance. At the same time, Pastor Dave and African missionary Jude attempt to leave town on a trip, but are hindered by curious incidents. Student Ayisha is at odds with her father's conservative Muslim religious principles. Hotshot businessman Mark acts cynically towards his mentally ill mother, while his famous leftist blogger girlfriend receives bad news from a doctor.

This movie helped me understand that living to serve God isn’t always blessings and happy moments. There are a lot of good movies that bring us messages that help us in life later on. Movies are a genius way to talk to the world and if we start using that source and the whole media for good causes we could really change the world for good. Act up.

Celebrity

                                                                        Celebrity                                                                  

A Celebrity is a famous or well know person. People these days adore celebrities like they have some kind of mystical power or do something in any way for them. Celebrities are usually famous because of talents or things they do for society but that is no enough reason to adore them. We should be adoring the celebrity that really did something for us, the one that was from the beginning and will be until the end and the one that died to save us, Jesus Christ.      

Celebrities are great but they are just humans ironically crated by the one we should be praising. Our God deserves to be the most important celebrity to us. Not Miley Cyrus, Zac Efron, Johnny Depp, David Guetta, Calle 13 or any other of them can compare to Jesus. They are just entertainment to us; God is our savior & our only way to eternity.    

Media

                                                                         Media
Lets face it; in these times we need media to subsist. Media is defined by Google dictionary as the main means of mass communication, specially: television, radio, Internet, newspapers, etc.  In times like this, people can’t life with out there smart phones. I won’t say this need or addiction we have is wrong because I am a user and not being able to communicate feels horrible. What I will say is that we should give time and passion to seek our God, read the Bible.

We depend too much on the media while we should be depending on the God saved us. We care more about our twitter, instagram and Facebook accounts than our own lives. We are turning into technocrats and forgetting that we have a non-technological real life given to us as a gift by God and we should be thanking Him. Media is great in lots of ways but we need to establish a balance between what really is important and the things that just make us happy. God goes first, that doesn’t change, you decide what goes after.

Marriage

                        Marriage

          I believe marriage because our God gave us the Bible in which he tells us to get married to glorify him. I'm going to discuss some of the reasons for which people get divorced. One of this reason is that we start feeling the person we are with doesn't makes us happy anymore. As I said before, God wants us to glorify him; this is not about us. To get married we should unite with the right person; God has a perfect plan. Something we should think about before getting married is, ¿Will this person make happy forever or is this just temporary?

           Life was a gift given by God and the reason was for us to glorify him. In marriage is the same but in it, we receive another gift in which we get to enjoy love, sex and family. Our God is giving us best, the least we could do is respect him and glorify him with our marriage.
