I almost forgot. Jim and I have a MySpace, we have 47 friends, half of them being youth kids haha. That's what my primary use for it is. That and leaving my best friend lots of pointless messages to make her smile during the day. If you have a MySpace, come be our friend.

If you don't have a MySpace, good. You were paying attention to me at Laurelville. I like that.
Anyways, I'm really excited for Climbing Higher. I hope you all remember to bring snacks because this time Jim is coming... and with both of us it's bound to get a little scarce in the snack department. We like our Cheez-its, mind you.
OKAY! Love you guys. See you tonight. Sorry I haven't posted in awhile...
MySpace is taking over my life! Whaooaoaoah!!!
just kidding. peace.

Why I Am A Christian
Why I Am A Christian
This past Sunday at Hot Metal was amazing.
Jeff made a point that had never crossed my mind before.
"This is the reason I am not buddhist or muslim, not that I have anything against buddhism, heck if you are buddhist welcome to our church. But the reason I'm not buddhist is because, when I look at buddha I see a man hunched over, eyes down to the floor, big belly, meditating and shut off from the world. The God I worship is on a cross with his arms open wide, eyes to the sky, and in the face of fear never flinched. He cried out, My God, My God why have you forsaken me? My Jesus is hardcore, man."
Jesus is the reason I worship. I'm not ashamed of where I've been because of who I am now. Anorexia, my brother's death, bad relationship choices...I tried so hard to get through it alone. Then I think about Jesus, I think about all of the "Do not be afraid"s, and I am so thankful for the trials in my life. I want more. Because God gets the ultimate glory when I overcome them.
Lord of the Universe- my God and my Jesus- I praise you for the times in my life that I had no one to understand me, no one to trust, no one to confide in... because finally I found You. Amen.
