Was This The Most Important Thing?

So it happened, we have a new president of the United States. Many things will change but there is one thing that will always be the most important that never will.

As Christians, we have one mission and that is to spread the gospel. No matter where you live in the world or who is the president that will never change. The great commission is our marching orders and we have to remember it is in his hands.

The world is a pretty big place and there are quite a few people living in it. Around the world there are different types of government with different leaders, and they greatly affect the people that live in those places. Don't get me wrong, elections are a very important matter and they affect us all. Whoever comes into office will make decisions that decide what direction the country is headed in. We should all be concerned about who we vote for, but it is not the most important thing. The amount of time that we will spend on this earth is minuscule compared to eternity afterward. Sadly, there are very few people who realize this. Something else Christians must do, is respect the laws of the land as long as they do not conflict with God. Whether our candidate won this election or not, we have to respect it and keep our eyes on God. One of the worst things we can do is riot and destroy the property of those who cannot control the government.

Although this election was a very important event in our nations history, it is not the most important thing in our lives. Christian boundaries are not restricted to one nation. We have to remember to respect the law of the land that we live in and keep God in focus.

It is that time of year again. Christmastime. It is one of my favorite seasons for a myriad of reasons. Here are just a few reasons why I love Christmas. This list is in no order of importance.

1. The Christmas decorations

I am that person who will decorate directly after Thanksgiving is over. This year, my roommates and I put the tree up in our apartment before we even left for Thanksgiving break. It is a great stress reliever for me to just sit in my living room and work on the huge amount of work I have before the semester is over.

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?
