THE GRILLED CHESSUS!!!
This glee episode talked about Kurt losing his dad to a heart attack. Well i guess that i shouldnt say "lose" because he was just in a coma. Well anyways, his friends start to help out. They do this by singing songs about faith and hard times and that have something to do with God or religion. This however makes kurt mad, because he is not a religious person. They still continue to do this and it makes him more annoyed. I would like to say that i understand where kurt is coming from. It seems that when you are at school everyone acts pretty the much the same way, Making fun of people, judging, saying the same things, talking in the same way, but when something happens to someone who already doesnt want the attention. We bring our entire youth groups or even churches into the situation and that person may not want the help of something that person doesnt believe in. They just want to be left alone. The writers are biting at the way the churches act in the U.S. today. So an answer to your second question I think that this is portrayed in a truthful manner. We may act terrible in our lives, but when we are faced with hardships we tend to lean towards God as a crutch. I tend to agree with Kurt in this instance. I thought they did a great job of not really saying out loud what they were trying to get across. If God is real, then why is he such a Jerk? Most of what they said in the show was true and thinking about it now i cant come up with something that wasnt true. So i guess you know my opinion now.

Life at 15
I sit here in my bed, i listen to the wind blowing up against my house, i look at all the things i have it makes me wonder. Whats my purpose in life? Then i think to myself, what good am i doing sitting here and thinking about it. I should stand up. I should make a difference in this world. I should make it a better place for you and me. I should get the girl i like. Then it hits me, wait i am only fifteen.

Sermon on the Mount. By: Jesus
I decided that i was going to do the section over divorce. Since this perticular subject has been very influential in my life i figured that this would be benifetial coming from someone who knew it first hand. What Jesus basically says is that Divorce except in cases of sexual immorality, is wrong. When you are married to someone in front of God it should last for forever. You know? Well i think that the way you can apply this to your life is pretty obvious, if you want to marry someone then you should be sure that you really want to spend the rest of your life with them.
The end.
The end.

Bowling with people
When I thought about going bowling this morning, I thought that it was going to be superboring and that it was going to be really weird because of who we were bowling with. My attitude changed within the first two minutes of being there. I got the oppritunity to cheer four cool guys that i will never forget about ever in my life. One of them in perticular, JayJay, was the funniest of them all. He told me stories aobut him and his brothers messing with their dad, playing in the creek, and going to school. He told me that when his dad died he got really sad, and that thats why he is the way he is. I told him that he shouldnt be sad, but be happy that God made him the way he is. I know that i am going to make this short, but i dont think any length of writing could show my appreatiation for today.

Spirtual emphasis week
Well now that its over with i guess you would like to know what i think about it huh? Well, i think that just about everyone has the same opinion about Andy. He was funny, he kept you awake, but most importantly, he made you think. He had me hooked from day one.
The first thing he talked about was "Believe." I thought i believed in the Bible, i mean like die hard word for word this is truth belief, but i didnt. And it was because of him, and his questions that made do my research and finally come to the conclution that my Bible rocks. I know have more faith in my Bible because of him, and now i can finally answer all the questions that have to do with my faith.
Second point, "Behave." This part was just about as mind blowing as the first part. I realized that just saying your a christian doesnt mean you are. You have to be a christian. The big thing though that changed my life is that for the longest time i was told that i can listen and watch whatever i want to only as long as i dont do the all the stuff that i know is wrong. Haha i cant believe how stupid that is. He was right about one thing, if you fill your mind with all the things that we know as christians is wrong, believe it or not we might become the very things we point and say "Well i would never do that, i have Jesus." So in this sudden realization i have gone through everything taken all the music off of my ipod that i know is wrong, and i have started turning off the tv when south park or family guy comes on.
Third and final point, "Belong." This one is about being part of the christian community and really knowing what it means to be a real christian. I think that Andy was mailnly getting on the point that we all have sinned., and that we shouldnt "look down our long nose of judgement," just because no one knows our deepest darkest secrets. I admit i have done things that if anyone knew about i might die. But it shouldnt be that way, We are all part of Christ's family and family doensnt give up hope because of what you did yesterday.
And that my friend is what Spirtual emphasis week did to my life. But to sum it up in four words. IT CHANGED MY LIFE.

MY friend
Well i would love to have a friend that wouldnt make fun of all the things that i do, but i know that i also want a friend that calls me out on all the things that i do wrong. And i know that the friends i have are very good at that. Another quality that i would want is a good listener. I would love to have a friend that wouldnt interrupt me every time i talk, and i would try to not do the same to him or her. But to be completely honest the friends i have now are pretty cool and diverse enough so that i get a piece of everything.

Slow doncing in a burning room lyrical study.
First i would just like to say that this song is my favorite song at the current time, so naturally i love this song. But if i were to forget my love of John Mayer and his music, I still thing that i would love this song because, one the music is very good, and lyrically the songs was very well put together. Now about his message. There is a lot of people that i can relate to this song. My aunt and uncle were recently divorecd and the months leading up to the divorce i saw nothing wrong with their relationship. I think that this song is about that. These two people were at one time very much in love, they grew apart for what ever reason. I think that he is saying that he loves her still, and that she loves him, but that they cant be together anylonger. So they will put on a show and play the parts, they will dance, but their going down and there is nothing to be done to save them.
As i said before, this is an amazing song. John Mayer, himself, is quite incredible. And his ability with the guitar is unmatched.
