Undue Influences
I am currently studying at South Texas College under the
Veterans Vocational Rehabilitation program. My hope is to work with those young
people who were like me, hardworking, and tough but lacking confidence in math
and science. Well I have to take government and English courses. Both the
English and the Texas Government text books are slanted, the Texas Politics
course book is slanted towards the left and the English course book is very
anti-faith. They are not so subtle either. I am going attached the story "Salvation" from
my English course and you can read how they are undermining faith. Now I know
the solution. We have to stop pushing agendas and encouraging that personal
connection with the Lord. First off, God chooses us. I love how Abraham fought
with the angel and would not let go in order to obtain God’s blessing. I believe
that is what we must do. We must show God that we are willing to fight for his
grace. It is not the other way around. I am trying to qualify to be of
influence with these kids who have so much potential yet they ether made
mistakes or they just haven’t been communicated to properly. I am thinking
about a preacher and his son who train at the Fight House Gym in Edinburg. The
son wanted to be a Navy SEAL but he dropped out of school and went to prison
and he just got out. He is a tough fighter but he is already 28 years old. He
is humble but he has power in his punches and he works hard. I am going to get
both him and his father “Da Beast Within, Still Champ” by Anthony Suggs Sr. There
is something that needs to be fostered, a spark that needs to be fanned until
it becomes a flame. Tony’s story is one of hope and conquering setbacks.
