I am SO excited about going home and doing DNOW. I miss Traci terribly, especially since she has gone through so much since I have been out of the youth group. I regret distancing myself from that age group immediately upon graduating, but only because i MISS traci and garrett. they were (still are!) the best youth minister and youth minister's wife ever. I can't wait to go home and see them for a weekend....it is going to be so much fun!!
Then I can sleep ALLLLL week. Unless I call the store to see if they need any help while I'm there, cause I really miss my job....and the $8 an hour I get for working. AND i get to wear scrubs. Nothing better than that.

This Looked Promising....
It's harder than it looks! Copy to your own note, erase my answers, enter yours, and tag 10 people. Use the first letter of your name to answer each of the following questions. They have to be real . . . nothing made up! If the person before you had the same first initial, you must use different answers. You cannot use any word twice and you can't use your name for the boy/girl name question.
Have Fun!!

Secret Life
I love the secret life of the American teenager. the girl is so cute and has such pretty hair and i love their clothes. HOWEVER, this particular episode is a little annoying to me.
Birth control is a major topic tonight. All about birth control and condoms and "you're on birth control? you're a Christian! are you still a Christian?"
First of all, you can't go from being a Christian to NOT being a Christian. It just doesn't work like that. Either you ARE or you are NOT. You cannot go back and forth. You might be one and slip up, turn away, never come back, but that doesn't mean you lose your salvation. Just because you sin, just because you are not perfect doesn't mean it is taken away from you. Ergo, just because you get birth control before you are married does NOT make you not a Christian anymore.
Second, just because you HAVE birth control doesn't mean you are actually using it FOR birth control. it drives me crazy. i have been on birth control since i was a sophomore or junior in high school. NOT because i am having crazy sex all the time. Not because i am having sex at all. BECAUSE i have horrible horrible cramps and need the hormone regulation to not be in constant agonizing pain.
Now, i may be overreacting. and i know this show is exhibiting a lot of stereotypes from Christians to jocks to sluts, but still. i feel like it gives a terrible name to people like me who take medicine for reasons other than to keep me from getting pregnant.
Goodness.
