The Immaturity of War

War is an abomination.

Today at chapel, the speaker, Terry Bowland, put this picture on the screen, accompanied by the words "God is not a Pacifist!"



A line I remember from his sermon goes like this: "I have no problem with Christians taking up arms to protect his fellow man." He may not have a problem with it, but I'm pretty certain Jesus does. By his own admission, Jesus' second greatest command is "Love your neighbor as yourself." He doesn't say "Love your neighbor, but only if they believe what you believe and look like you". I don't think Jesus' love is demonstrated very well by shooting someone in the face.

In my eyes, war is never necessary. Never. It is simply an act of immaturity. To quote the great Ryan Clark of Demon Hunter fame, "The weak of the mind will use fist, the fist of the frail will bring gun, the loudest of guns provoke bombs, and in wrath he will chase 'til its done." Jesus says we should be slow to anger, and I believe that encompasses a wide spectrum of circumstances, from someone saying something behind your back, to planes being flown into buildings.

Love. It's the easiest and hardest thing to do.

Good day,

Insanity

I believe that living without ridiculous dreams is not a life worth living.

The house of representatives recently passed a bill called the Affordable Health Care for America Act. Don't get me wrong, this is very good news, but there is so much more that can be done. If things were done the Kyle Fox way, Insurance wouldn't exist. Going to the Doctor would be no different than going to the grocery store. Flat rates for different medicines and treatments of different afflictions would be set in place. If someone could genuinely not afford the price, do it for free.

If the people in this country want a better place to live, new legislation is not what we should be after. It takes one thing: Love. Yes, the Beatles were right- all you need is love. When love takes over, the details take care of themselves.

Love- just one of my ridiculous dreams.

Until the next post,

To a lot of People:

Hey. Man up and stop treating women like dirt.

You are pissing me off. Don't expect them to make themselves better for you. Except them as they are, and improve yourself. Trust me, you need it.

What is our problem that we have replaced the "dating" with the word "sex"? I think the root problem is our epic selfishness. It seems to me that a "mature" relationship is one that is sexually active. I believe that the truth is the opposite. I personally can't wait to be in a relationship that denies itself and looks forward to marriage.

Shabbat Shalom,

I took a short break from writing one of my research papers to get down a quick thought:

I hate writing research papers.

A Man of a Million Names

This is something I've always wanted to do.

I'm going to list all the names/nicknames that I can remember having. There's not really a point, I just thought it would be amusing. Let's get started.

2. Fox-Very popular, used by mostly everyone. This what I introduce myself as.
3. Kyle Fox
4. KYLEFOX!- Emily and Haley's.
5. Foxy/Foxxy- Also popular.
6. Foxamillion- This guy Daniel on my dorm floor calls me this.
7. Foxybear- Originally used by Anna. Me and Chris also used it when we were revising the song Guy Love from Scrubs. Sydnee and Fae kept it going.

9. Dr. Foxy Loxy- Woody Wilkinson, one of my professors.
10. Starfox

New Territory

When I think Fox, I think single. I'm pretty sure you do too.

I've had a total of two girlfriends in my life, one was a good decision, one was not. Compared to some guys I know, my dating life seems pretty much nonexistent. I don't mind this, as I don't really put much importance or effort in this kinda stuff.

But lately, my mind has been blowing up with confusion. There are two girls that I am very interested in. I've known both for years, one since 7th grade, the other since sophomore year. They're both amazing girls.I've been praying a lot on the subject and have yet to come to any conclusions.

I'm coming back home to Arizona on November 20th and I can't be anymore excited. I miss everyone so much. I'm probably not going to want to come back.

Buh-bye,

Fox out.
