Amazing Life

It is interesting... to read stuff where you know the person is just pouring their brains and heart out and not caring what the rest of the world thinks. Like blogs for example. The art of expressing yourself isn't the easiest task in the world. I think that's why music and poetry are so important to me. A vent where it's o.k. to be different. Or maybe just where you don't have to be someone exotic but just simply yourself.
You know it's interesting going and reading friends blogs and getting to know people on facebook that I've really only said hello to once or twice. It kind of gives you a broader perspective on life, like that maybe your not the only one who is alive and breathing. Like there were a lot more people who cooked themselves eggs for breakfast today and thought it was manna from heaven. Or watched the sunrise and decided that they were going to paint their kitchen yellow when they have a house. Just little things like that.
It has really surprised me sometimes. You think you know someone but you really have no idea what they're like. You'd never guess that they have so much more thought and feeling. You're not close enough to break that outer shell and see who the real Jon Doe is.
And whenever I think about things it all comes to the conclusion that God's creation is just amazing. Every single atom and molecule! And aren't we dang lucky to have his grace cause he definitely didn't need to give it to us. It's really astonishing....
