Learning to be Human

I just watched Kill Bill Vol II the other day, and for the first time I noticed something. At one point in the movie Bill (the main villain) begins his typical villain monologue. In the monologue he begins to explain that of all the main iconic superheroes, Superman is the only one that had to learn to be human. After all he is a kryptonian. Just think on this for a second; every time he shakes someones hand . . . Every time he gave Lois a hug . . . Every time he goes to open a door . . . If he didn't think of how to be human he would be very lonely. I'm sure Lois appreciates it.
In my Christian life I find my self having some "learning to be human" moments. As a Christian I feel I have a more natural pull towards positive reactions to bad situations. But lately it has taken a lot for me to get my head rapped around why have I been so negative. My world has seemed to get a little darker for a reason I can't seem to put my finger on. I guess I just need to re-learn to be human. Just except my circumstances and move on.
God soon intervened and placed a thought in my head: "But you have been made anew, as a new creature." This is why it is hard to think of what my life was like before I was a Christian. Basically living a life with "no hope". A very dark realm. But I don't live that way any more. As I stated before. "I have a more natural pull towards positive reactions . . ."
So True.

Origin of the Logo

Blogging. . . . Well I guess what I am wondering is, am I wasting time doing a blog? I sometimes think it really is not worth the time or the effort. That is until I mastered the art of really being creative. I am lucky when it comes to creativity sometimes (hint of sarcasm). Creativity is what I believe is a gift from God. Think about it. He is the Creator, I am a creation of His. For Him to give to me the ability to create something from relatively nothing is HUMBLING. I am truly not worthy of such a gift, but in order to praise God for this gift, I am trying to use it for His glory and His purpose.

One outlet that has aloud this out pouring of this God given ability, has been the Youth Group at my church I attend. It has been dubbed with the title: Ignite. Very Nice! I immediately loved the opportunity to provide an identity for the group of teenagers, who themselves are searching for who they are (aren't we all). I am happy that there are other leaders in Ignite who helped me find the right image to portay. Clean and Modern. That is what I came up with. The only problem I had was the color to provide the logo. What says Ignite better than FIRE! Right.

Here is what the final product looks like.

To God be the Glory.

Without Him I would be nothing.
