I honestly can say this guy has chosen a new road that will be difficult. To make a stand on principles means that we are willing to go all the way to the matt for our belief in ... whatever our belief is in.

In our society today, they tell us that we have to have no barriers at all, which loosely translates to a meaning of life without borders . . .everybody is right . . . do what you want, say what you want, believe what you want. The only problem is that life lived this way does not bring about long-lasting happiness, only temporary ones. Don't get me wrong, a lot of things bring temporary happiness, but it gets you in the butt later on. My life has spoken to this.

Brian has made a hard decision and I pray that he sticks with it. To give up lots and lots of money for a conviction is incredible.

I have often said a lot of things that were convictions, but as an old friend once told me . . ."true convictions are the things that you live out in daily life" And if I can add on to it, what we live IS our convictions.

I have to keep asking myself, what exactly are my convictions . . and then ask, why did I just do this/that when I don't believe it is the right thing to do.

Thanks to Jesus for allowing me a framework to live in . . .there is comfort in having right and wrong defined in my life.
