Well I last blogged on the 21st of September. Makes me feel guilty for neglecting it. Arn't you supposed to use the Internet communications (MSN, blogs, facebook, etc) as an aid, not a crutch, or a necessity? I guess that's sort of a question that I already know that answer to. That's really why I'm off Facebook for October (Keith's idea). Still I feel the need to 'stay connected' over MSN.
I'm doing too much. But I'm not doing enough. And I've totally just like, right out, cut down my schedule by like 2 events a week. If I just didn't have to sleep, then I'd get everything done, oh yeah, plus my goal to look like a raccoon.
Last night I went to the Rockton Fair. I don't regret using the time that way. I met some pretty awesome new people, and hung out with some old (hah) people. Than why am I so resentful towards losing the time. Maybe I want a full day to work, plus of course, a few hours to socialize, and then a full nights sleep. It just doesn't work that way. The day is perfect in length the way God made it. That's another thing, I believe about God making everything, and being like this intensely loving guy (excuse the term, it was for lack of other), but, I don't really feel personally connected to him. In fact I don't really think I fit under the term "Christian". I seriously don't like that, because I'd rather, but really, has it come to splitting groups in labeled columns by evidence of their actions? ...I don't even like the term Christian, because though it does define a certain group, they're all amazing individuals, they shouldn't be stuck in a group. I don't know how to explain the whole labeled thing, but if you ever thought about it (which I didn't until one of my best friends made me) you can't be in the box (or or the term), unless you acknowledge it.
Brittni, you need to read 'Growing Up Christian' by Karl Graustein, so we can talk about.
Busy, busy, busy, busy, busy, busy. And lonely.
I have to do Art, Math, and Science homework this evening.
No one is home.
My parents are a at Gaither's concert (ohh goodness, VERY abnormal).
And Kathleen is babysitting.
And I'm sitting here with this little ache in the pit of my stomach saying "come back!"
It used to
Art. Two point perspective, Tonal Rendering & the Proper way to make railroad ties (the most annoying exercise on the planet).
For love - we'll give it a shot.
Whooah, we're half way there.
Whooah livin' on a prayer.
Take my hand and we'll make it - I swear.
Whooah livin' on a prayer.
We've got to hold on to what we've got
I think I'm going to go talk to God. And listen to that song. I like it.

i don't agree with you at all about the term "Christian" Sure, we're "stuck" in a group, but guess what! that group is the BRIDE of Christ. I am totally cool with being stuck in a box that says that. It's cool, because i think as a Christian, thats what we are, and that's the most important thing about us. Being a Christian is our whole lives.
I think you think about labels and boxes too much, Rachie. They happen, but it doesn't matter maybe as much as you think it does.
oh also, the term Christian, means Follower of Christ. I think that it a pretty amazing term. Also, no, i don't think you can ever "fit under" the term Christian, because none of us could possible fill all of that role, because we're crappy sinners.
i hope this makes sense. it's all disconnected.
Rachie, i think you need to be more positive. i sound like a mom, but i don't care that much.
i'm praying for you
