China
Hey everyone. There's a secret site out there about Joel and Temple's trip if you'd like a link email me! They're doing great, I've seen the pictures and they are smiling like crazy. I miss ya'll guys and wish you luck. And I can say the photos just radiate with some happiness. I laughed and smiled when I saw them so continue to pray for them. Later.

Anberlin-Never Take Frienship Personal
Hey wuz up everyone. I got this new CD and it's pretty good. It's Anberlin who also recorded "Blueprints for the Black Market," which was played some at Summersalt while we were chillin' before worship. It's really solid and tight, the first was a little better than the new one but the new one also has some really good stuff. They play sort of rock, not the Emo type but just solid rock stuff. So help me out and go visit if so you if I win the 5 Signed CD's then you could get one of the copies!! Aight, so check em' out.

The Controversy never ends.
Alright I concede. This whole blog has been nothing but controversy people getting ticked @ me then me back. Now I will not put up w/ unsound doctrine anyone that knows me knows that. I will walk out of a church and tell people to never go there if unsound doctrine is taught. Now Andrew I've never said anything bad about you behind your back so people that claim I have are lying to you. I have my opinion about everyone...who doesn't but everyone has an infinite number of chances to change that. Yes it ticked me off...no we are not to be the moral police of the world, never shall we do that because we must believe as we do and let others decide by seeing Christ's love through us not shoving his love down their throat. I will not stand for people to shove what they believe to be Christ into people lives that don't want it there. We don't have that right, we don't need to. We need to love them unconcitionally w/o any regards to religion, sex, preference, or sexual orientation. We love them and let them see Christ.
If you would like to say that I'm believing in the parts of the bible that I want believe that but know that I will promptly delete your response because that is one thing I do not do. There are things I don't like in the bible and I have to live with them.
I will also not stand for people to not respect the rights of other christians...everyone has the right to question what they believe. In fact I encourage people to question God because w/o questioning we may never fully appreciate his gift.
Andrew I apologize for ticking you off but understand my life revolves around what I believe and I will not stand for someone to insult the thing I hold most dear to me. My doctrine is based soundly in the word and if you'd read all my writing you'd understand that. I thoroughly encourage anyone to question what I say and check it against the bible. If you can solidly prove w/o any doubt that I am boldy wrong then I will concede and renounce the writing. But you must prove beyond that shadow of a doubt w/ thorough scripture that I am wrong.
Also please note in 2 Timothy 4:2 that it says "...w/ great patience and careful instruction." Don't every contort the word. The verse applies
"so proclaim the Message with intensity; keep on your watch. Challenge, warn, and urge your people. Don't ever quit. Just keep it simple."...Try it that way...It'll maybe give better light. (I didn't write it...its another translation)
So for the record I never slammed on you.

INFP
I found an old thing I did last year in Mrs. Pierce's class and it caught my eye cuz it was a personality profile thing and I'm so weird w/ that sort of thing. It told me I was a INFP and that basically means I have Introverted Feeling with Intuition. Man you wanna talk about on target it's so wild. It says I'd enjoy school publications, I thing long term w/ relationships, I want learning to enthuse (is that a word, is that how you spell it) me, I have trouble completing projects because they never feel "done." yada yada. It's me so much. It mentions how I like to write about what I believe and what I believe ties into what I want to do. Talks about how I don't like to sell my high points with interviews, which I disdain doing, always seems to be showboating. I don't like to network, I think you should get the job on merit not networking. All these things are me 100%, and 0% like my Dad. It's funny that we get along cuz we are nothing alike. One thing it says is that I like ppl to learn by persuasion, i.e. preaching. One thing it discusses is loyalty, and I'm funny about that cuz I'm fiercely loyal especially w/ people. If you go to my church and I know you, you can count on me getting angry w/ the mention of anything bad about you, even if I don't like you. Isn't that weird? Well so now you know me a lot better. There's more but I won't bore you, later.
Sometimes I just wish to be..."macho." O' well, never have that opportunity.

Eternal Sunshine of a Spotless Mind
Movies that I finish and talk don't move me, they simply entertain me. But if a movie ends and I sit in silence and get a new glass of water in silence and sit in silence again, I've been moved. I ponder the questions that have been posed.
This movie poses me the question even though my relationships are broken do I regret them. No, I don't because without them I'm not fully me. (If you don't mind me spoiling it highlight the blank space beneath this) If not go rent the movie and enjoy it for yourself.
Jim Carrey does an amazing job and tells the story of a man disenfranchised with the person he loves...sort of. He goes to have his memory erased and discovers though he was unhappy with his girlfriend he didn't want to lose everything, the laughs and the smiles and the everything. Throughout the movie Carrey fight in his own mind to retain the memories of his love and try as he might....(well I'll let you find out.)
I have to recommend this to anyone over 17(R) some parts are a little inappropriate though. The questions it poses to me is am I happy w/ my past relationships. The answer is yes things have happened that I was unhappy about but I don't regret knowing them or the relationship, I regret my actions that ended it. And I'm sorry for that. Carrey tyrades @ one point about all the things he didn't like and I know what thats like because you're so mad and you just want to let it out even though it's not really that important.
