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

40 Gift Ideas for the Indecisive

It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. But also a time of stressing over the perfect gift.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

Bucket List To Live In The Now

Find excitement in your life and start exploring wherever you are right here, right now.

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…

Great Value Colleges

If you go to or went to Kent State, then more than likely you have done or will do some of these things.

1. You’ve slipped and fallen on the ice at least once.

The winters at Kent are brutal, and while the heated sidewalks and some great snow boots are always a help, there’s no chance you won’t bust it on the ice at least once in your four plus years at school.
