You gotta love the copy and paste function...due to the fact I’m on the road I can’t exactly access the net so I’ll just type this now and later at the hotel paste it on my site...sound good? GREAT!
I’m getting kinda excited about going to KSU. I wasn’t really wanting or planning on ending up there but I guess it’s where I’m supposed to go. Not complaining accept for the part that I can’t enroll ‘till two days before classes start. What kind of crap is that!?! Can’t change it...might as well not worry about it ;-P...
My parents love to just get out of town. They told me when I was little that I would understand someday. I think I’m beginning to finally get to that point. Hence all the posts about me wanting to travel and get the crap out of manhappenin’. Katy...wanna take me to chi-town with you??? PLEASE!!!! lol...
I’m reading CS Lewis’ book Mere Christianity. Great book if you haven’t read it yet. I’m sure DK has read it and can comment on it. Anyways...I haven’t finished it so maybe some questions will be answered. Is there a STRICT right and wrong? He talks about that issue a little bit in the beginning but I never really got what he was trying to say. I’ve always/beginning to believe that being a Christian is something that is personal. Obviously there are a few things that the Bible speaks against: sex before marriage, blasphemy of the holy spirit, etc. Everything else to me, stuff that seems "grey", is just between you and God. If you can’t get closer or praise Him through what you are doing then you shouldn’t do it. It has nothing to do whether the "bible says you can’t" or what someone says is wrong. Does that make sense to anyone? He also brought up a very good point. You can’t have bad without the good. For there to be "bad" there must be something good to base your opinion on. Make sense? Also, the bad things anyone does are have done to get something "good" in return. A bank robber doesn’t rob a bank just because it’s wrong or bad. He does it to get money, which to him is a good thing. Satan didn’t try and outdo God just because it was a bad thing to do. He wanted to be just as good or better...aka good result.
I have a degree now! I’m actually very excited about that! Granted it’s just an Associates in Arts from Highland Community College....def. something I’m happy about. This was something me and Trent were talking about the other day. Out of my senior class we are the only 2 that will be juniors. Everyone else either took 1-3 years off...taking 6 hours a semester, or just not going. Not sure if that’s sad or what haha.
Grace: (seems like I’m always writing you hah) Just curious about what part of the party thing you don’t understand. I don’t like just sitting there doing absolutely nothing...
Brandy: Thanks for the comments as usual! I might drop by and say hey...not sure what I’m doing yet. I kinda wanna hang out with Trent, haven’t seen him or really done much with him lately. His schedule is always opposite mine.
Dana: You getting excited?!?! Almost there! Keep waiting ok!
Everyone else: Have a happy New Year!!! Call me if you all are doin’ something!
Peace

I LOVED _Mere Christianity_. It's a difficult book. It sounds like you're getting the gist of it.
I didn't say you should sit around at a party, but the way you put it sounded like drinking was the only way to have fun or the only thing worth doing, and if that's what you think, then I'm worried. But I realize my position of total abstinance will seem biased to other people. As you say, it is ultimately between yourself and God, so, since I'm only fifty fa-fillion miles (what's that in kilometers?) away and don't actually know you that well in the first place, I guess I'll just trust you to put your trust in God.
