My Essays

So the Descriptive Essay wasn't that bad. It was one of the few essay I actually enjoyed because it allowed me to tell a story as well. It wasn't a hard paper to write but I did have a little writers block but other then that I liked it. Normally they aren't that fun but what I discribed made it fun. The exemplification essay was a little tougher but I liked my topic although I did want to develop it more but it's kool because it was a good one anyway. I'm hoping for a B. Oh and my Descriptive essay was really in my opinion good because I made up an entire college. I'm not stuck on myself just proud of the essay. So anyway it was fun but the exemplification was more what I considered to be work. The hardest thing about the essay was well honestly that I procrostinated so long. See if I wait to long then it gets bring and I can't focus. So that's why this essay was harder then the other.

Why Church goers aren't perfect.

Why church goers aren’t perfect.

Every Sunday two groups of people exist. Those who are in church, and for whatever reason, those who aren’t. Then in the group that is not in church more divisions can be drawn. Those who want to be in church but can’t, and those who don’t want to be there in the first place. His group seems to think similarly. Those church goers are perfect people who don’t do anything wrong. Church goers seem to have the best lives and be all happy and lively. The people who attend church have their own pressures and deal with everyday life just like everyone else. Although certain types of churches influence this thought and make it seem untrue. Such as when someone attends a church for the first time and the preacher seems condemning and judgmental. This can greatly effect if that persons goes to church again.

The reason I love my church in particular is because my preacher shows how imperfect he really is. Such as one time he was speaking at the pulpit and he said that no one is perfect especially me. He said he had his fair share of mistakes and that he was nowhere near perfect. That’s the side of church goers that is not seen that much, although it should come out a lot more. Another time I was a church talking to one of the respected men and he told me that everyone makes mistakes in life, and that we shouldn’t dwell on them. By talking to people at my church I learned that I didn’t’ have to be perfect and that no one is. This in particular is something that I struggle with.

I noticed I was making a lot of mistakes and I was judging myself very harshly. So I started by talking with my preacher about it and he gave me examples about himself and others and I realized perfection wasn’t possible even for a church goer. No one has to achieve perfection because it’s vastly overrated. If we were perfect we could never evolve as people because there wouldn’t be any mistakes to learn from. For instance if I was perfect then I would be at a constant level but since I make mistakes I can change and grow from them and make sure I don’t make those same ones again. Basically perfection isn’t worth the sacrifice that we would make for it.

At the end of the day we are all in the same boat church goers and those who don’t go to church. People I know who don’t go to church make the same kinds of mistakes as those people I know who go. Not just that but personally I would be nothing without my mistakes and neither would anyone else. Our mistakes actually define us as people, not each mistake personally but the wide range that they are, and our wanting to stop those mistakes from happening again. I’ve made the mistake to tell peoples secrets and that makes me untrustworthy, but I have the ability to repair that and that yearning to make myself better is what defines me. Church goer or not on the end we are all the same.
