Seeing God in the Secular

So I've been watching this show called The Vampire Diaries, and while it involves secular components that I would normally avoid, it's really got me thinking about how God uses whatever we expose ourselves to to show Himself to us. This show has got me thinking about all the fanatacism of vampires in the past year and I started wondering ehat it was that people were drawn to.

I came to the conclusion that it was the idea of immortality that was most appealing (aside from physicall attractive actors and romantic plots that girls around the world connect to). I started contrasting what secular audiences found so appealing: physical immortality, the opportunity to have undying "love", a bit of adventure and exploring the unknown, and realized that really all these things are ultimately found in Christ. He offers spiritual immortality (which in my opinion makes a far stronger case than living in the same body forever, I tend to think I'd get kind of bored, wouldn't you?), He's also the ultimate lover, He loves you so much that he gave his own life in exchange for yours, and then unlike a vampire which can supposedly overcome death (though fire and a wooden stake through the chest tends to put an end to that discussion) he rose again from the dead and is now very much alive and able to pour out all the love you could ever need. And even a Christian won't deny that Christianity can be an adventure everyday. Now maybe it's not like the whirlwind action romances we see on T.V., but the way I see it the end result of believing in Christ and seeking out a personal relationship with Him is a whole lot better than spending eternity in an immortal body on an earth that's going to end eventually anyways. I'll keep my soul thanks.

Blessings, M

There's a first time for everything

and I thought this might be a good time to start a blog. In actuality in might be a bit late, seeing as I've already flown through my first year of university and never got around to setting this up so I could share it with you all, but it's better late than never right?
