| February 6, 2004 Let’s just get one thing straight --So about my latest article that was published... I’m very grateful and flattered by all the positive reactions I’ve gotten from family and friends. I appreciate everyone’s kind words and constructive criticisms. I even got a call from a woman I don’t know that only had great things to say about the article and it was a pleasant surprise to have someone tell me they, and members of their family, feel the same way. Lot’s of times I guess I feel people are impressed with my writing and my structure, but that they aren’t too agreeable with the content. I don’t know, maybe that’s not the case, but it just feels like that sometimes. Good or bad though, I’ve yet to receive any negative response to the article. Now I can’t imagine someone would call me up to tell me that, but I sort of thinking there may be a letter to the editor or two against my article. Who knows? I will post one if I see one though because I’m not about censorship. But let’s just get one thing straight here, I’m only human. And with being human comes inhibitions; natural inclinations. It’s not natural for me to resist lust and sexual relations. I am, through the grace of our God and Savoir, Jesus Christ, going against what my flesh tells me to do, and only through grace have I made it thus far. I am just as suseptable as the next guy to engage in relations. And believe you me, I sure do want to. Unfortunately I’m not as naive as I was before and in college, so if I had the same temptations now that I did back in college, I’d prolly succumb pretty quickly. Thank God for my obliviousness back then...that girl that invited me to her empty dorm room wasn’t exactly asking me to play some Nintendo 64 with her was she.... Anyways, I’m not writing a disclaimer here if I do indeed fall, but I’m just saying that I’m no different than anyone else and that I have just as much pull to exercise my carnal nature. But I will neither be a hypocrite and say I have this “super” way to live above my human nature. Anything and everything good that comes from me doesn’t come from me but from my God and Savoir, Jesus Christ. He gives me the strength to do right and I give me the weakness to do wrong. But don’t be suprised if I do fall. Because Keith Wojciech is nothing but a frail, shell of man, sinner that has no ability to resist a small breeze apart from my Savoir. The moment I start to think Keith Wojciech has made progress is the moment my world will fall apart. I lean on Christ, I fall on him. No, my state is so destitute I need him to carry me. And in actuality I am a hypocrite claiming I’m a virgin and stuff. Sure maybe physically and experience-wise, but unfortunately I lost my “mental” virginity a long time ago and have regretted everyday since. But I’m not focusing on that now. I just wanted to follow-up to my article to say that yeah I’m a living human being too with plenty of desires and wants, some good some bad. I live in this world too and want to partake in everything it has to offer. But temperance and restraint have benefits and by not conforming to the way this world works, well let’s just say anything God can empower me to do on his behalf is the least I can do to repay the debt he paid for me; the unpayable debt apart from Grace... |
