| It's probably the busiest day of my life and what am i doing?? Xanga,
facebook, checking my e-mail... all that good stuff to distract me from
what I should be doing. Let's see... Macgamut is due tomorrow and i'm
approximately 7 levels behind in melodic dictation. (For all of you
non-music majors that melodic dication is when you listen to music and
write down what was played-quite time consuming if you try to do it all
at last minute) I think i'm screwed as far as that goes. Every time i
attempt to do it i want to throw my computer across the room. In
addition, I have a powerpoint presentation, 2 papers, and a
transcrption project...all due tomorrow. Ugh! The good news only 5 more
days of school for me!! Yippee!!

| Old people and cars... a couple of words that do not belong together!
Here's the story... I'm driving home from the store today. I'm on the
big hill/curve on HWY 12 about to approach campus, when out of nowhere
i look ahead only to see two headlights heading right towards me. (keep
in mind that there are two lanes of traffic which on a normal basis
travel in the same direction) Apparently somebody didn't get that memo
because these people were headed right towards me. So I look in my
mirrors and cars are blocking the other lane...speeding right by
me. So i slam on my breaks just in time to not hit the car head
on. Just as soon as i am almost stopped, the car behind me bumps
into me. So i look in the car that was now stopped within feet in front
of me... definatly old people. Why? they should not be
allowed to drive. I don't understand. Luckily my car only had a
few scratches and the guy who hit me was really nice. Praise God i'm
still alive and so is my car! I'm continually reminded of how he's
always in control and he's always wanting to show himself powerful in
any kind of situation.
Other than almost dying today, not much exciting going on... just lots of homework and tests... so ready for christmas break.

| Okay, so i don't know how many of you guys were at
BSU noonday today, but can i just say that what the speaker had to say
was totally incredible. He spoke on Jesus being the head of the
church. My heart has been really hurting for our churches, and
the BSU lately...really just Christians in general. We've missed the
point of Christianity completely. We've left Jesus out and made
it about us. Look at Jesus' life. Look at the people he hung
around. Aside from his disciples the people he hung around weren't
church people. They were the sinners, the tax collectors, the
lost, the people no one else wanted to be around. Why do we
rarely see people come to know Christ? Why is it that most of the time
when we do see people come to Christ it's people who have grown up in
the church? Who's reaching out the the sinners? Who's hanging out with
the people who may not be like us...the one's who may dress a little
weird, act a little out of the ordinary, the homeless, the poor? Who's
eating lunch with that person who is always by themselves because they
just don't fit in with everybody else? Jesus did. Sad to say we as
Christians have missed the entire point that Jesus is the head of the
church. We know that he should be, but if he was don't you think we'd
be seeing a lot more people coming to Christ. If Christ was the
head, wouldn't we be striving to be just like him everyday of our
lives. Wouldn't we be following in his footsteps, reaching out to those
people who are "different"?
Can I just say that i'm fed up with religion! I
don't want it. I want Jesus. That's all. The routine church services,
the empty repetitive prayers, the traditions, doing things the way
we've always done them because someone will get mad if we try to change
something. Can we please go deeper that "Dear God will you please bless
this food to the nourishment of our bodies and our bodies to your
service" or "Please take these tithes and offerings and use them to the
on going of your kingdom."... i'm sick of it! Don't you think God gets
tired of hearing that...the same thing over and over again.
Meaningless. We don't mean those prayers. They're just words that we
say becasue that's what we've always said. Do you think maybe God wants
to do something bigger than that? I mean he is God. He's capable of
doing "immeasurable more than we could ask or imagine." We don't even
ask.
I've come to this conclusion... all i want is a relationship with Christ.
I want to follow him...nothing more nothing less.
Daddy, bring your church to repentance. We've missed the point. It's
not about us. It's all about your glory. Forgive us for putting the
focus on ourselves, and forgetting about the lost. Break us of our old
habits and anything that is holding us back from moving forward with
you. God, I don't want to be a part of anything that's not of
you.
