A bit of a rant....

I was just watching a report on the news dealing with Rick Warren. Apparently some do not feel that he should have invited a pro-choice democrat to talk at his church. I do not want to cause controversy, but I feel that the church really needs to wake up. It is become too involved with politics and not involved enough with what really matters. I am not saying that politics do not matter, but affecting the laws can only do so much. Can't we affect more people by our examples rather than trying to push these laws into the system? I know this makes me feel hypocritical because I do not volunteer with pro-life clinics, however, I just feel that it is better to show compassion and understanding to someone who is going through something like that rather than force a law down their throat. How many people actually obey the laws? We have so many and they don't really help. I am curious as to how the abortion issue has become so strong in the church. I feel it is very important, yet I also feel that poverty and domestic abuse should be tackled as well. We talk about the sanctity of life. How can we stand by as women and children are abused? I believe that many things could be stopped (abortion, drug abuse, etc) if we gave everyone a fair shot at life and created jobs in low income areas. How many kids are being hurt by gangs? Aren't their lives sacred? I guess my main point is this; Jesus didn't try to change the laws and maybe we shouldn't try so hard to change laws, but to change hearts.

Just an update...

I would like you all to know that I finally met Jessica and Matt. I can put a face to the blogger!!!!!

Pleasantly Suprised

On Wednesday night at 10 pm I receive a call from Noah. He wants me to go out and get my owners manual from my truck (he needs the measurements for his class). He wasn't supposed to be home till Friday so I am on the phone to one of his friends telling him of my plan to throw a surprise party for noah. As I get in my car and close the door, I lean over to the glove compartment. As I do, someone starts banging frantically on my window. At this point I am screaming. I look over and it is noah. That jerk. He came home and surprised me first.

It's pretty bad when Mr. Earl has to tell your mom you need to blog again

You probably thought I'd never blog again. I like to create a little suspense every once and awhile so that my readers (if I have any left) are on their feet. Usually the suspense isn't a month long. Adam is a dead duck. I had the duck hunt picture with his face on it, yet I am not good with technology. I'll save it for later. I'm sure he'll do something to make me mad again.
