MAN...

I miss having a place to go to every Wednesday, a youth group that I can call my own... A place where people want to hang out with me, a place where I am excepted. I miss Impact Student Ministries. It was an Ideal Youth Group. If, and when I may be a youth pastor, or missionary, I want to model my life off of what we hoped to accomplish within ISM.

Anger

Recently my computer has been attacked by Ad-ware, and it is quite irritating. I try to stay calm as I attempt to rid my computer of said garbage. As this junk continues to bother me with it's absurd approach to get me to buy this "Anti-Ad were" product, my anger increases rapidly. When I am having issues with my computer, I get frustrated quickly. I let my emotions get the best of me all the while I cannot focus on the problem at hand. So my brother comes into the room saying, "JOSH, just let Dad fix it, he is BETTER at computers than you! He can fix it."
Well, I told him. "DAN, DAD will not always be AROUND to be fixing my computers!" and finished, "I need to figure out this by MY SELF!" Although my Dad will not always be around to help me though the silly things in life that get me down, I was wrong in saying what I said and how I said it. The story does however end happily. I finally found an efficient Ad-Ware remover for free online. It annihilated the attacker hacker, and my computer is now free of the program that had it bound.
I know I can work through problems on my own, but sometimes I need help. And sometimes in life we are forced to figure out what to do... and it may be hard. My hardest struggle it to control my anger when I cannot control the situation. Aside from my anger I tend to let my emotions win the battles over me. I wrote about "A better friend" as all of this was happening. Then when NOTHING seemed to be going my way in the situation I lost my temper. I know Jesus is my best friend, but he is also a way to rid your life of all the crud that messes with you. I'm not saying that Jesus will act as an Anti-Virus on your computer, but in life he will do just that!

A Better Friend

The time we spend with our friends are those we cherish. When we have to say good bye several times before we go, we know our friendship is tight. We cannot simply leave with a wave of the hand. When we must give hugs with our farewells, we find the meaning of our relationship is deeper. Friends are cool people. The times spent with friends are some of the best ones. If we have time, we tend to call our friends, or look for a time to hang out. We can spend tones of time with our friends and increase our relationship with those people. One relationship that I want to increase more than any other friend is with my eternal friend, Jesus. When my friends are not around to chill with or my family to busy, I still got Jesus. He is a friend that I can hang with, when ever! I don't need to call him and make a time/place to meet. He is just here, right by me, next to me in fact, in me, and around me as well. I can not get away from him, as he will never leave me. As far as friends go, he is the only one who will always stay near. I can talk to him and wont ever worry about what he thinks. The times I want to cherish the most are those with him.

Poem

LIFE-
The Withered Tree


There in the distance
A tall tree does grow
No leaves does it bare
In this autumn air
A crow flies high
With it’s mocking cry
Grass withered all around
The roots reach far
Stretched they are
Desperately searching
For water I think
Withered, dieing
This tree does stand
Yet, at the end of this winter
The snow will go
And the green leaves it will
Again soon show
Then I will know
Life is like that withered tree
Only partly it may be
Our life we live
Half pain, half joy
Seeking more peace to give
Although that bird may
Mock you passing by
It needs that tree just
Like you and I
So, take a deep breath
Smell the fresh air
Live life and truly care!

Poems of the Past

I have a bunch of poems I wrote and I wanted to share them. But I realized it's all old stuff,and I wanted to start this blog to make new things. SO I guess if you want to read some of my old poems go to my Facebook, in the notes you'll find a few.

Here is a list to look for.
Here By My Side (poem about my times with my girlfriend)
Insperation? (fun one I did when I was totally board)
Broken Heart (actually a song, but sill great)

Life- The Withered Tree
(I did this one for fun, then I really liked it so I am going to share this one.)
I guess if you are simply dieing to read these and you cannot find them then I'll post them, but seeing as no one even reads this blog yet it is not bound to happen.

BLOG

The definition of "Blog" as defined on Dictionary.com is: an online diary; a personal chronological log of thoughts published on a Web page; also called Weblog, Web log.

As I ponder the meaning of "blog" I began to wonder... many guys would not want to call their thoughts posted on a Web-wall or Internet blog as a "diary". Some how the word "Diary" has long been portrayed as "A girl's book detailing her life and the many amazing or horrible things that happened within her day." Well THAT is rubbish. I want to reject the meaning all together! I want to move on to a better meaning. ... I thought for a moment and no appropriate meaning came about in my head. This being a rather unfortunate occurrence, I must find a solution! Then I reread the definition, low and behold a more suitable meaning of what I write... FIRST, FORGET the word diary, as my writings are no such thing. Second: A personal chronological log of thoughts published on a web page, FITS perfectly. Am I a horrible person to say this: "Only if you are a girl may you call your blog an online diary"??? does that sound wrong? I realized that over time many men have kept a diary. Whether they wanted it to be considered a Journal rather than a diary, is beyond me. My main reason for despising and utterly hating the word "Diary" is quite simple. This word, my entire life has reminded me of the disgusting word "Diarrhea" ...these words sounding most similar have lead to this outcome. After all I have said... you'll hate me for this... Instead, I am going to call what you read on this page, written by me, an old fashion BLOG!

Welcome to my Blog, I am Joshua Michael Petersen. I hope you may understand me and my life as you read my ridiculous rambles, and maybe a short chuckle may occur when diving into the pool of my thoughts. Let us hope it is an epic read...
