yes we are going to talk about this subject again or at least i am anyway.
i don't ask people why they wear the clothes they wear, i don't ask why they cut their hair the way they do and i really do not go up to people and tell them why they they should not do these things. so is it so much to ask that people just have the same respect for me. i understand that in the adventist world that i am far from perfect and i am ok with that, i have a growing relationship with God. growing being the opperative word. i have explained myself more then once on this subject. but when i was approched last night at the meetings that our church is having to try and win more people into our church, i got a little irritated and then that grew into being flat pissed off.
i wear my rebellion (if that is what you want to call it or so it has been said to me) on the outside. i never say that i am perfect, i eat meat, i drink coffee, i love to hear rock music, i go to the movies and i wear jewelry. but unlike some of the members that go to our church and sit and judge me for the jewelry issue and they hide these things in their closet at home, i DO NOT sleep with everyother person that comes through the door, i DO NOT drink, i DO NOT smoke, and i DO NOT do drugs. do i think that i am better then these people NO! but at least i do not hide it, i am true to me. if God said to me leeanne you really need to take that off or you are not going to get into heaven then let me tell you, you would see the stuff fly off. i have studied on this subject, with a open mind and i have not been convinced that it is a big issue, i don't see it keeping me out of heaven. now to the person that talked to me the other night and explained to me that I AM a stumbling block when it comes to this church i wish i could say to you the more and more this little serminete is given to me the more it makes me say screw you. quit trying to tell me how to live my life. the great think about being a Christian is that everyones relationship and perceptions are different and God does not give up on you but if you study and ask God to give you the wisdom to understand his will for you everything will work out for you in the end if you are sincere.
my own family does not even question me on this issue, i know that they pray for me and maybe that is what people need to do if they think that what i do is so wrong. i know that my friends scott and staci have questions, i love them to death, but they do not sit there and judge me or tell me that i am a stumbling block and i THANK YOU for that. if you think it please don't say it to me. right now anyway. oh hell say whatever you want.
i think that Eric Flickenger is doing a great job with these meetings and i wish him and his wife the best of luck with winning these people over, but i think that we need to pray that our church family will be considerate of them and not be so jugdemental. i look around the church and i remember when it was full. and i start to wonder what happen to all those people, and when something like this happens i start to understand why. now don't get me wrong this is not going to keep me from going to church (mainly because i am stubborn). i just wish that i could be more like some of my friends that i go to work with they are excited about going to church and alive for Jesus because they lift eachother up instead of pulling eachother down and trying to hide them. this is just my oppinion take it or leave it. sorry for the BPM session, but i had to get it off my chest.
much love and peace.
i am just saying a quick hello, i don't really know what to type about. it does not seem like anything new is going on with me. work try to sleep and work somemore. so i hope all is well with everyone and hope you have a good week.
peace.
i decided to not go to work tomorrow, mainly from a thought that steven put in my head, and thank you by the way. so tomorrow i will be cleaning up the house that i have been sitting, etc etc.
right now though i am watching one of my favorite movies...SHALLOW HAL JACK BLACK kills me....got to love it!
i have decided that the movie theater here sucks ass.....they just do not get the good movies anymore not that this year has been that great for movies, but the ones that i did want to see is never showing here anyway i would have to go to junction to see anything decent. well enough ranting about that!
ok well i am beat so i will type to you all later!

i was house sitting with a house guest. like i said before i am house sitting for bob and kathy springer, but while i am there so was eileen snell, a old pastor of ours wife. but now she has left and now i have the whole house to myself plus the cat.
right now i am at scott and staci's house, watching LADYKILLERS it is funny, in a strange kind of way. Tom Hanks is really funny.
ok i have been cashiering for a week now and everyone is still alive. (this is a good thing) but here is a web sight for you and of course it is about Wal-Mart.
other good things happening, scott, staci and i along with the kids went to a FREE concert with KUTLESS and FIVE FACE DOWN
it rocked literally. on thursday though scott and his friend melissa went to see FALLING UP(second time to see then still love um), SUB SEVEN (good), PRODJECT 86 (they suck), AND PILLAR(they rule). so needless to say loved it alot.
hope all is well with everyone in blog land.
peace.
wow it has been a long time since i have posted, or so says my friend scott. alot has happend since i posted last. no i have not had a baby or gotten married so you can cross those off you list of questions to ask. it is all drama really which seems to be my life, but oh well here we go.
WORK
as of last wendsday i quit the bakery. i went and told my managers in not so nice terms that i was not happy and that i did not want to work back there and to place me somewhere else. they complied, and now i will be a cashier....that is right starting from the begining. it is ok though, until next week then i might have another story. in that same meeting told them that i wanted to start my vacation early and extend it longer, so as of right now i am at the end of my one and a half week vacation.
HOUSE SITTING
i am house sitting for Bob and Kathy Springer, they are a couple that go to our church. they have gone to AUSTRALIA for a month. work for kathy fun for bob. so i hope they have fun.
MOVIES
this week i bought a new dvd (to most of you this is no surprise) WALKING TALL. when you have DWAYNE "THE ROCK" JOHNSON in the movie only one word comes to mind YUMMY.
WEB PAGES
i just found a cool web page for THE CHRONICLES OF RIDDICK,which comes out on dvd November 16th. so don't forget to go buy a copy.
FRIENDS
i have a very close friend who told me that yesterday she lost her baby, this is a very sad time for her and her husband they have been wanting this more then anything for quite some time now and for some reason it is not to be. but she understands that God has a plan.
i have another good friend who seems to think that it is ok that she is throwing her life away to drugs, and treating the people she loves like crap because they try to explain that this is not the right way to go and that she has the potinshal to do great things with her life, she just needs to stop being an ass and snap out of it.
so if you keep these two people who are close to me in your prayers that would be great. and thanks.
MY TRIP
yes well i did not go on my little trip to OKLAHOMA. the day that i planned on leaving it snowed 17 inches on EISENHOWER TUNNEL PASS. so i decided not to go and then the next day it was beautiful. i don't know i will just chalk it up to it being a sign not to go. whatever.
VACATION
i think my next vacation is going to be in WAIKIKI HAWAII. i am thinking around the 22nd of April through the 29th. so if you would like to come that is cool the more the better. i found some good rates with flight and rooms so for now that is my plan.
well i should bring this to a close before you start to go to sleep and ask yourself how you came upon this page. so here it goes.....much love to everyone in blogland and peace.
