So, I guess this is my first official blog. I mean, I've done a couple of those "kiddie" blogs they have on myspace, but now this is blogspot. The Super Bowl XXVII of blogs. I've finally hit the big time. I would like to take this opportunity to send mad props in yo dy-rection if you helped me reach this plateau of coolness.

But seriously, I've been having alot of random thoughts lately that made myself think, "Wow. That would be a cool thing to make known to the virtual universe via blogspot." So, I bit the bullet and created one of these things. I hope my friends might read this and we can have cool conversations or something. So now, I guess (que drumroll) the official blogging begins:

Something happened to me about a week ago that started a chain reaction in my thought process that I really didn't know what to do with. I was at a redlight turning from Corporate onto College and there was a homeless guy (who wasn't that old looking) walking up in the direction of my car. I make a habit of checking my car for change I can give them when these guys come by, and I think its a healthy way for me to see the best in people. By that I mean: when my parents pass up a guy like this they usually don't give anything using the "he'll probably go buy alcohol or something lewd like that" alibi. I don't think that way. Anywho, all that is not part of the story. So I searched the area around me in my car and came up with about $1.79 to give this guy. I rolled my window down and as I handed it to him, I said, "Here you go, man. God bless." Even while I was saying that, he said something to me. "I am losing faith in my human man." (Then as I hand him the money) "I think it is coming back to me now." This is where my thoughts took off. As soon as I drove off, I started thinking about the verse somewhere in that thing you're supposed to read when you're a Christian that says something about angels being in our midst. My true, honest to God, first impression was that this guy was an angel. I don't know why. But then, I began to replay what he said. "Human man?" Isn't that kind of redundant or something? My head began to tell my soul that he couldn't have been an angel because he couldn't communicate English in correct terms. And for a second, I believed it! I really discounted the possibility that this guy was an angel just because he was lacking in his English communications skills! I don't think I couldn't have bought in more to Intellectualism if I tried my hardest. Then, I guess the God part of my thought life kicked in. I was like, "I can't believe I just thought that! Even if God didn't have a track record of using unqualified people, for me to even think for a second that I know what or who God would or wouldn't use and why is the stupidest thought I could ever allow myself to think! God's thoughts are infinitely higher than mine. God's ways are just the same. Who am I to rule out that guy?" It was a really confusing thought process to me and the only concrete thing that I know was established was how "above me" God is. So here's my conclusion: being that this series of thoughts ended in a Godly conclusion, I can assume it was God-ordained. Being that this series of thoughts was God-ordained, and within that series of thoughts I thought "Who am I to say that guy isn't an angel," I have to assume that.... one night, about a week ago, at a redlight at the corner of Corporate and College, I gave $1.79 to an Angel.

All of this seems really silly now that I've read over it. Oh well...
