Everyone started blogs about their adventures as they leave home for college. I chose to stay in the town everyone was dying to leave.

Maybe this is heaven
So I was at work yesterday, and I randomly had a pretty intense conversation with one of the salesman. We were talking about religion, and he said he was raised catholic, but in adulthood he does not believe in the church, but he believes in some type of supreme being out there. I can completely respect that, since the church has been a bit twisted from time to time in history. But then we were talking about heaven and what's next after this. We joked around a little about what heaven would be like and such, and whether we would be in conscious or unconscious mind in the next life. But then he said what if there isn't anything else? What if this life is like "heaven" and this is it?It was a depressing thought for a minute, but I don't buy it at all. Once again I of course respect his opinion, it's fair to wonder. But I know there's something else. The world is too beautiful for this to be it. This world was not a coincedence. The Lord said there's more, and who am I to doubt that? Knowing there's more to this, and putting all my faith in the Lord feels right, and in history millions of hearts have agreed and been changed, and that can't be an accident. Loving God changes lives, it's just right like that. And it calls us to serve and love others as well. It just makes sense. After that conversation I finished up some social sciences homework about evolution, and continued to ponder about the after life. I left work and went to the end of the year lifeguard party at my old work, then to Denny's with a few friends after. Honestly, it was probably the best time I ever had as a lifeguard. I feel bad for the waitress we had, but I think she was amused. Today I have to work, So I'm gonna go for a jog and get ready.
