Well, I guess the way I see it is because we haven't experienced eternity yet, it's really easy for us to juxtapose our assumptions of what eternity would be like with our current lives, and assume what we're going through has much more substance (or not, if you have a negative general outlook)...
This happens to me all the time. Totally understand your frustration... I get mad about it too, and that's okay. Just don't let the actions of those around you morph this characteristic you have. Kindness is frankly a rarity (as this is typically what happens to the kind ones!), and it's...
Years ago (back when Minecraft was still in alpha) I used to play it quite a bit. I would actually incorporate Christian elements into it.

Wow I never really thought of the idea of looking for a separate book compiling portions of the bible to help me with this. Definitely will look into it, thank you.
I'm sure I'll get all sorts of fun answers on this one :P
I've been a Christian for as long as I can remember, and I'm nuts for Jesus, but I realize that I'm going to be at a Spiritual wall until I dive into the bible. Yet, every time I begin at Genesis and try to run it sequentially, I find...
