Jordans vs. Jesus: Does it even make sense?

A world dominated by the material things.

Jordans vs. Jesus: Does it even make sense?
thesweetsetup.com

A world that is dominated by iPhones, the internet, fashion, and relationships is a world that leads to emptiness. Maybe, starting today, this can change by redirecting our thoughts towards healthier lifestyles.


We are materialist beings

Molded, shaped, destroyed

Employed by secular ideals

Feeling nothing that is real


Why do our iPhones

Take up more time than our Bible

We’re unreliable and its undeniable

Our priorities aren’t straight


Why do humanly relationships

Attempt to fill a hole

Never keeping our soul satisfied

But Jesus has no role


Maybe one day we will see

To flee our pain and suffering

We will ditch our surface covering

And get deep


We care more about a stain

On the whites of our Jordans

Than we ever could about the pain

We inflict on others


Do you see what I’m saying?

How sad is this life of ours?

Maybe I’m sour, a dead flower

Hoping to finally get some sun


Unplug from the internet

Social media, Google, Soundcloud

Stop listening to the newest mixtape

Escape from the prison you are in


Appreciate,

Eliminate the empty space

Fill it with faith

Get your life straight


But what hypocrite am I

To lie and say I am different

The truth is I feel like I would die

Without an iPhone by my side


The stains on my shoes bother me

The internet makes me feel free

Does everyone see

The emptiness within me?


My headphones are in my pocket

But my Bible in my drawer

I want to soar, ignore the truth

Yet the truth shakes me to my core


I see more SnapChats than Pastors

Facebook likes are a must

This trust, this lust for attention

The Bible never mentioned


I guess we’re all afraid

To lay down our lives for Him

We would rather sin, then begin

To make a difference


Today is the day of change

Can you accept my call to you?

Our lives need to be rearranged

We know what we need to do

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
