Discouragement, Encouragement, Uplift

"The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was to convince the world he never existed.. " a quote from the movie, THE USUAL SUSPECTS

I remember hearing this quote back in highschool ..for what reason i dont think they had a reason for telling me. But it rang true for me. How true does it ring for you?

For the past couple of weeks ive felt discouraged.. discouraged by others. And this is exactly what had challenged me last nite durin the sermon. The evil one, there to throw us off. What was getting at me was having to follow people up..just little things. Having to tell ppl, do this and that. What bugged me thinking now is that im a hypocrite as well..ppl need to remind me as well what i NEED to do.

And i thought..how bout i just sit back and not care and see how things pan out for a bit. And then i was challenged to not give in. Not to slack off. To give up now felt like failure. Failing on people. I didn't want the evil one to win this battle. Something WILL be done about it, and soon.

After the sermon i met up with Dan Pi and this guy was PEAKING! And if uve ever known Dan pi he's a very in your face, straight forward bloke. I love that. I get so much joy chatting to him feeling the energy he gives off. Always a point to make, "business baby! BUSINESS!" He was stressing out points on EXACTLY how i was feeling..and i was so over joyed to hear someone feel the same and more importantly i had struggled to really have gotten to know him..and what really topped it off for me was his passion for people to get under the surface than asking all these "generic" questions.

all in all, great weekend. What i've come to really enjoy is just hanging out with THESE people.. THOSE days were gone ..the times of anti-socialism.. people off in their own world.

Dan - "i've got a new drug..it's called 'G' "
Me - "what's that?"
Dan - "it stands for God"
Me - i look at Dan Oliveira and just laugh...
