Da Word... 203! Ingenuity


Good morning!  Yo it's starting to get a little cold up here in Boston!  The lows have started to hit the 40s, and our highs have been the low 60s.  The temperature is just creeping on down and down, heh heh.  Time to start busting out the winter gear.  Aight, on to... da Word!

checkit:

...they invent ways of doing evil...
- Paul (Romans 1:30)

You know, we humans are amaaaaazing.  For real kid!  Our bodies adapt constantly; we are able to learn many a varied thing and devise practical applications; and we have this mega organ ( our brain ) that still continues to baffle scientists the world over.  Yo..... Pops hooked us UP!  With this gift Pops gave us, we have become ever resourceful, imaginative, and creative.  So what have we been doing with this brain of ours?

Apparently, potnas, we've been straight inventing ways of doing evil.  WHAT!?  Yeah kid, you heard right and Paul came correct.  If you peep Romans 1, you'll see that Paul is laying the groundwork for building a case.  In this first step, he is attempting to open our eyes to the realization that humans.... yo we are bad kid! He's trying to show that once we lost our way, once we turned from Pops and started doing things our own way and/or started interpreting Pops in a way that selfishly benefits us...... it was straight downhill.

Yeah bruthaz and sistaz, at that point we started using our gifts of ingenuity to manufacture all KINDS of ways to do evil.  What worse possible application or end goal could we have aspired to!  Evil is just too tempting, and it's easy to want to invent new ways of getting what we desire.  But that's a double edged sword potnas.  Yeah, we'll get what we want, but at what cost?  Our character?  Our integrity? Our friends and family? Our relationships?  Our very selves?  ...our souls?

Come on bruthaz and sistaz, let's make a change.  Let us make sure to use our gift of ingenuity to invent ways of doing good!  For the rewards of doing so are priceless and enduring.  You can't get any better than that.  And let us inspire those around us by word and deed to do the same.  For the lives of all those connected will be tremendously enriched beyond any measure.  Now that's what I'm talking about.

G-bless,
