I hung out with a girl this spring who was big on the don’ts.
The things you’re not “supposed” to do.
I feel like that mindset is one of the major weaknesses of today’s evangelical christianity.
The petty morality of withheld vices speaks little of the hue of a human soul.
While i do not believe in predestination,
At times i feel some of us are born with a better compass.
A few out there have hearts oriented towards true north.
or perhaps some just listen to that little voice inside them,
that asks them to do the hardest thing of all:
to be selfless.
And that’s what I believe really matters- the doing. Yeah there are things you shouldn’t do. BUT if you focus just on the don’ts... well you don’t ever “do” jack s***.
Life is about action; not inaction.

AMEN!
I think if you're loving God, and loving people, your vices take care of themselves. You know what I mean? That is simplistic, maybe idealistic, but if that's what you're pursuing, I think things fall into place a lot more easily.
