my A.D.D. is apparent

sometimes blogs start with an anecdote or explanation of a previous thought-  that whole schpiel can get mundane and just plain unoriginal.  it is for that reason that i choose to go against the grain by jumping right in.  since i plan not to align with some of my other fellow bloggers in my intro, i also will just take the "whole enchilada" by neglecting use of capital letters and other grammatical uses. 
shoot... this in itself could be a word.  i could spend the whole post talking about how as christians we've been created to "go against the grain".  things that seem rather normal... socially accepted (and in some cases mandated)- are things that we have been called to stand against.  in this day specifically, we are challenged by the hand of political correctness and sensitivity and "anti-judgement".  yet GOD still expects us to "go against the grain".  STAND OUT. be DIFFERENT. ACT like we KNOW we're CHOSEN.
what does that even mean anyways... all of that-- what does all of that even mean? 

(i hate this new thing that tv preachers ::who i now call inspirational speakers:: do-- they fail to give text!! they speak from what they know about GOD and don't quote the source <the BIBLE>... i won't be a hypocrite-it's coming)

i looked up the etymology of the idiom "go against the grain"-> from the act of cutting wood against the grain (in the direction opposite to the direction in which the fibers in the wood lie) So, although all of the fibers of the woRLD...ooops i mean wood- although all of the fibers of the wood lie in one direction- they were created that way... you know, similar to the way we were born in sin- although they LIE that way... this expression means to CUT the wood AGAINST the GRAIN... and the whole BIG deal about cutting AGAINT the GRAIN is that it's harder.  you have to put so much MORE effort into the task.  i mean, even when i started this blog (despite my declare to "go against the grain") i typed so much slower because i had to concentrate on NOT making capital letters when i started a new sentence, and neglecting commas and periods.  Romans 12:2 NLT:: Don't copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think.  Then you will learn how God's will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect.  Keisha's Unstandardized Version verse12a: Don't be a whack copy cat-But let GOD do HIS thing by making you fresh and blending your brain.

So it may be harder... and there may be some jagged pieces of your life... but hey, this is what it means to be CHOSEN and the reward will ALWAYS be better than the jacked-up part. 

hmmm.... look at that-- i did spend the whole post talking about that...

i guess my A.D.D is apparent

well, i'm reminding...CHARGING... CHALLENGING...you to:

"GO AGAINST THE GRAIN"
