Hmmm....

Alright, I admit it, I have been bitten by the Facebook bug, and on my profile there, I added this neat little thing called an Honesty Box, where people tell you their opinions of you anonymously. I thought this would be a handy little gadget hanging around, so I decided to add this. Look what this chick wrote about my religious status (which, by the way, is "Jesus Freak -kinda like a Christian, minus the rules"):

"You make christians sound like a bad thing, rules? and you seem guilty to be called one."

The way I see it, your average churchy Christian is a rules and religion freak, who holds to "Jesus plus equals the Gospel." I am of the mindset that "Jesus, plus, does not equal the Gospel." I don't like the stand that the church takes on rules and religion, I try to concentrate more on the relationship part of the deal. Also, I am NOT ashamed of Jesus, nor am I guilty of being called one of His followers. And I don't make it my primary goal in life to make the church look bad either, I am just saying that I don't beleive in their religion, I beleive in a relationship.

OK, its been a while in Bloggerland...

..since my last post, and I still have almost nothing to say! weird... Randi, I hear ya!

Lets see.... First and foremost, I got slammed with a round of @!!!&%@& bronchitis, due to the fact that we have mold growing in what's left of the house, my dad got double pnemonia, my brots are both coming down with bronchitis (we think), the only one who isn't sick is Mom, who's only home half the time! Sheesh! We first thought my throat issues were from screaming all weekend at YC (which was awesome, TobyMac and Skillet are awesome! And I got autographed and high-fived by Hawk Nelson! Yay!), but when I started coughing up... stuff... (blech) we went to the doctor and found out I have bronchitis. And then I started coughing up blood with the, ahem, stuff..... blech. Anyways.....


As I mentioned, YC was AWESOME!!!!!!!!! The only person I wanted to find, but missed, was Melissa, my cousin, dang. However, I ran into about 15+ people from school, so that was good. Wish Heidi and Jared could have gone, but oh well, what can you do, esp. when Heidi broke her foot a week earlier? (don't worry, she's all right now)

9 DAYS OF SCHOOL LEFT!!!!!!!!!!!! AND THEN 2 DAYS OF EXAMS!!!!!!! YAHOO!!!!!!!!!!! Bethany and Saralyn and I are planning a movie night, should be fun. I have earned the title of "sheltered" after I mentioned that I have never seen Matrix, Final Fantasy, or Phantom of the Opera. Poor me... meh.

Joined Facebook.... wish Dave would put me on his friends list... argh. oh well.

And... what else....?

Oh yeah, while Spoke and Paula were away, our church redid their house, it looks really cool now. Evidently Paula was crying when she saw the mudroom.... :D And our church has been feeding us since we've all been sick.... Leona, loved the farmer's sausage last night! I love my church!!!!!

And since I can't think of anything else....

SUMMER IS ALMOST HERE!!!!!!!! YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (I'M HYPER!!!!!!!!!!)
