So to start things off, I am back at CSU after taking a year off to participate in the 1 year Christian Internship and to put it this way...it's almost as if i never left. I'm an engineering major and the guys I met freshman year are in the same program as I am (CO-OP) so they still have a couple to a few years left. I'm right back at my old job working in the computer lab and it doesn't seem different at all. The only thing that has really changed is the mass migration of church friends to CSU. In the first two days I saw nearly all of them and thought it was cool that they are all here with me. I also have a goal for this semester and that is to talk to one person every day I'm on campus about Jesus.
I'll end this post with some of my writing. Y'all will be seeing spiritual and non-spiritual pieces of work appear here as parts of a post or an entire post. Some even from my earlier years of writing. I figure they've been sheltered from the public eye far to long. Disclaimer: some will be unedited and may not seem that good, but this is what comes from a creative mind of a child. Enjoy!
There is a God
By Josh Watkins
Look upon the stars,
Gaze upon their
majestic beauty,
Their warming glow,
Their jubilant
glimmer,
And tell me there is
no God.
Listen to the ocean,
The waves crashing
upon the shore,
The songs of its
inhabitants,
The wind that moves
it,
And tell me there is
no God.
Smell the fragrance
of the rose,
The aroma of the lily,
The scent of the a
daisy,
The essence of a
tulip,
And tell me there is
no God.
Taste the fruits of
the earth,
The sweet honey
nectar made by the bees,
The fresh mango
plucked from a mango tree,
The sugar cane as it
sways in the wind,
And tell me there is
no God.
Touch the blades of
cool grass on the prairie,
The wetness of the
river,
The feathers of a
parrot,
The shape of a
diamond,
And tell me there is
no God.
Feel the texture of
my hand,
Listen to the sound
of my voice,
Look into my beating
heart,
And you will see that
God is real,
And forever more he shall be.
