Avra Kadavra

I once had a friend who was extremely resourceful. He dazzled me with magic tricks. Pulled strings and made the impossible happen. Made me chuckle when i wanted to curse. Very charming indeed. Not to mention adorable! But these things just made him attractive on the outside. And what is a man if he has no INNER substance? Unless and untill he can prove he’s about more than flashy tricks, I don’t suppose he can be considered a real man at all.  I dont say this from a place of malice or bitterness. I say it because it’s the truth. Period.
Charades can be kept up for as long as the people playing are on the same page.  Once confusion enters the equation, the illusion begins to break down. It becomes less powerful. Remember the feeling of awe that possesd Dorothy, Scarecrow and Tinman BEFORE they saw the little man behind the curtain? What about after? Deep down, you and I yearn for something more than just magic. That’s why Jesus didnt just perform miracles. He ministered to people. Showed them Christ’s love through his actions (dying on the cross and stuff like that lol). Magic is great for catching peoples attention. Just remember how short folks attention spans can be.

Moody McSourface

Moody McSourface
-noun
1.) A habitually complaining, sullen or irritable person.

We have all had to work with a Moody McSourface at some point in time. They are never happy or satisfied. Either conspicuously silent or drowning out all other sound with their incessant complaining. They suck all of the life out of the room and their sole goal in life is to make sure everyone else knows that they are unhappy. They are adults, but only biologically. Emotionally, they are still very much children. How do you handle Moody McSourface? If you are like me, your first instinct is to administer a verbal beat-down unpleasantry. But, hopefully my discernment overrides my instinct, and I’m reminded that I’m supposed to love Mr. McSourface, not hurt him. How though? How does one love such an unlovely character?

One good way to love the unlovely is to empathize with them. They didn’t just wake up one morning and decide to be a crabby patty. More than likely, their negativity is a reaction to their life circumstances. They could be lonely, unhappy with themselves, or going through financial trouble. Maybe their parents just plain dropped the ball. Whatever the reason, its important to understand that their attitude is driven by their circumstances.

The sooner we begin to empathize, the sooner we can see them the way Christ saw us all; as victims of sin. And if Christ saw fit to die for Moody McSourface, shouldn’t we at least give loving him a try?

Priorities

Am I wrong in assuming that if you’ve met someone you’re interested in, you would naturally want to make seeing them a priority? Perhaps not as big a priority as? your family, or? job, or even the nba finals. But I think its safe to assume that someone who’s genuinely interested would rather see me than sit at home alone picking their nose (or participating in some other insignificant activity). Yes, chill time is always important. However, if you’ve been talking to someone for two weeks and 1.) have yet to ask them out on an actual date, 2.) only call them at an hour when all other mentally sound human beings are asleep and 3.) prefer to simply “swing by” whenever its most convenient for you, then its safe to say that not only are they not a priority to you, but your INTENTIONS are HIGHLY suspect.
