I'm a sore loser... I admit.... I hate losing... I always want to win....
I don't think being a sore loser is a bad thing, I think guys should be sore losers,
I think losing should motivate us to put more effort into what we're doing,
It's hard for me to accept defeat graciously, when I lose at something, especially at something I'm good at
it makes me furious. At that time, I admit defeat, but I say to myself that it won't happen the next time...
I honestly believe, being a sore loser is not a bad thing... You congratulate whoever won or did better, and then you work harder so that you don't have to do it again... and when you win, you don't boast.. but you're encourage to teach others what you know so that everyone wins....
Honestly, God knew what He was doing when He gave guys a Big Ego... It's not a bad thing,
Our Ego's make us thrive to be better... That's why it's so hard to accept defeat....
So to clearify everything I just said
1) I hate losing
2) When I do lose, I do my best to accept it graciously
3) It's very hard to let go of losing because losing makes you feel like less of a man
4) Losing should make us strive to do better instead of sulking over the past and being a big baby about it.
5) God gave guys big ego's for a reason

Doing Good
Today, at this moment, I want to talk about something that has been at the back of my head for awhile now...
I want to talk about the concept of doing good, why we do it and the consequences of acting in such a manner.
I want to talk about the idea that " those who do good will go to heaven"
This idea is an idea that is believed by many people, whether or not we have a religion, we all have some sort if belief system, and the majority will agree with this idea..
I do not hold any sort of resentment of negative feelings for people who take this idea. However, after much though, this idea became a little provocative to me.
You see, I find this idea to be a little selfish.. My point is this, we only do good because we want to get something out of it, not because it's the right thing to do. Do you see where I'm coming from? The question I would like to ask people who hold this belief to heart is this
" If you didn't have to do good in order to go to heaven, would you still do it?"
Secondly, I find this idea to be a little disrespectful to people. Hear me out, If we practice this idea then we treat the people and things around us as a means to an end and not as an end itself. Do you understand what I'm trying to say?
People become a means for you to get something, they become a tool for you to achieve something, and I don't like the idea of treating people that way. I want to treat people as human beings, I want to be good to them because they deserve to be treated well, not because I get something out of it. If I do get something out of it, then it's a bonus for me. It was not my original motive and it will never be.
This is one of the main reasons why I decided to be a Christian. It's because doing good will never get you to heaven. I am good to others because I believe it's how Jesus would want me to treat them, not because I have to earn my way to heaven.
Jesus said " This is eternal life, that they may know You, the one and only true God and Jesus Christ whom you have sent". I am a Christian because I know Jesus personally, that is my eternal life. Where I end up after I die doesn't matter as long as I end up in a place where Jesus is with me.

To my dear Sisters
To my dear Sisters Sue Ann and Sue Jan,
I look forward to seeing you in Christmas, it's been about 8 months since our whole family was together, and I really miss you guys.
So, along with Christmas, are Christmas gifts... =). So... For your christmas gifts, I'm making room in my luggage for two things that you two would like from the US granted those things aren't huge and I still have enough room for me to bring my clothes back =).
So do let me know what's on your mind and how your younger brother can be of help =).
Love,
Ken Jon.
The youngest but the tallest. HA!

Grace....
Sometimes God limits our growth,
He stops us from exploring or discovering other truths,
It's not because He doesn't want you to know these things,
It's just because it's not time yet.
When we try and try to grow deeper and deeper in God,
maybe sometimes God wants us to spend
more time on certain truths that He has already revealed.
As hard as we try to learn, God is still the teacher,
and it is up to Him to decide whether to hand
a new lesson for us to learn,
or maybe there are still things we have not discovered from the
previous lesson He gave us.
