I've been having some enjoyable conversations lately. Some really enjoyable conversations actually. I had the opportunity to speak with Mr. Cory Ozbun and my father last evening. Both conversations were equally enjoyable, and they were both meaningful as well.
For some reason, I keep thinking about year 07's fall and an event that took place in that time. I happened to be working at the Ren fest (oh gosh). I was selling kettlecorn of course, and many people of all sorts were passing by. A young retarded man with his family walked by, looked at me, and at the moment spoke some of the most sincere, meaningful words I've ever heard.
It was simply
"I'm going to live my life for Jesus Christ"
He said it with power and in such a sincere manner. To the outside world, it most likely looked like foolishness. This man had a mental dissability. Surely HE didn't know what he was talking about. The only reason he had hope and joy in his eyes was because He didn't know any better, right? Rubbish. I want to look more like this man. I want to live my life for Jesus Christ. I want to be bold like this man, even if it equates me with being a fool. In all reality, I think doing anything else is foolishness.
