In Regard to Myself

Well, the name of my link, Blacksboro, its quite interesting, because i grew up in Whitesboro. To understand a bit clearer, let me start by saying that Whitesboro is a town that is primarily sports/jock based. Growing up in Whitesboro, i found that in the highschool, one would either have to conform to their image, or the non-conformist would be hassled by everybody else. With this, i rebelled. I was the hardcore metal-head freak in the school. sadly there were few of us. very few. But all in all, the Lord Jesus Christ has changed my life, from being a rebellious, hate-mongering pothead, into a…well… a new being. See, the lake of hate that i had once swam in has dried down to puddles. Thats right i said it. It hasn’t gone bone dry, but has withered to mere puddles. I am a work in progress. We all are, and it takes time; just like it takes significant time to gain muscle from working out in the gym. The rebellious spirit that I had once bowed to has diminished, and now, i rebel against society on behalf of not bowing to its image. The past is now a testimony to where i have been but not where i am going. So as a new being, (and seeing how God loves to make people turn their lives around) the town that i hated, the very foundation of that place…i can truly say it was all in the past. Blacksboro: the new era. (BTW it is a city in one of my novels :-p ) ENJOY!
