Faith, keeping in touch, and gay marriage You know, I don't know what's been with me the last couple of months. I think I've been to church like, once or twice this summer so far. I'll set my alarm but when I wake up Sunday morning, I just don't want to go to church. This would probably be a normal sentiment amongst most people my age but it's pretty odd for me. Maybe I just feel like I need a break. I don't know. Or maybe I just need to go to a different church (differen't building, not a different faith, ^_~) Whenever I go to ours, I just....I don't know, I spend a lot of time thinking about Worship Commission and the people I know there and why Youth Ministry has sucked for so long and I really don't spend much time thinking about God. Hopefully this will change when I go to college and go to a new church. I should just find a new one around here, it's not like I couldn't find one if I wanted to. I guess it's kind of like now that high school's done, I've been taking a mental break from everything. I have no responsibilities except for my job and cleaning assigned by my mom. And it's nice...but it's getting to the point where my mind's getting bored. I try to keep myself busy with FF7 and reading and the like, and it usually works. I need to write more. It's not like I'm going to stop being Catholic. I hope God understands that I need a break. Maybe I'll talk to Father John about it when we go and see him. Except when I see him I'll be with a lot of other people who will want to talk to him too....oh well, we'll see. Oh, and I've been wanting to mention this for a while. When I go to college, I don't want any of you who I knew in high school to feel stupid for still reading this blog or leaving comments. The internet is a wonderful thing, and I think that through aim and this blog, we should be able to stay in touch. I just wanted to mention that because I've felt like an idiot still trying to keep up with people who have moved on. So, yeah. I guess I just wanted to say I won't think you're a loser or anything - don't be afraid, ;D Lastly, it seems like gay marriage is making the headlines again. I think the Senate's voting on an amendment next week? And obviously, Bush would want it to be a campaign issue since the majority of America agrees with him. But....honestly, I don't see what the problem is. If you're morally against gay marriage, then fine - don't get married to someone who's the same sex as you. I'm against having sex before I get married, so I won't do it. That doesn't mean it has to be illegal. I'm against smoking cigarettes but that doesn't make it illegal. Two people of the same sex getting married doesn't hurt me in any way, shape, or form. Nor does it hurt anyone else. It doesn't make my parent's marriage mean anything less and it doesn't demean anyone else's love. I don't know. I'm straight, obviously, but I just honestly see absolutely no reason as to why two people of the same sex can't get married. For this reason, it seems like the only reason so many people are against it is because people are afraid of change. A lot of people say "it's gross" - so don't get married to someone the same sex as you. It's not like just because two gay people get married, you have to watch them make love or anything. If we want to talk about gross, let's turn on MTV and we can discuss the real disgusting sexual realities in our country thanks to pop culture.scribbled mystickeeper at 11:03 AM

By Hey you, of course I'll keep leaving comments! We both already know I'm a loser, so it doesn't matter either way, haha. Anyway... about church, I know that Youth Ministry has really sucked but I feel in my heart that there's something big coming for this year. Have faith in us. We're going to help make it explode again, and bring some life back into our youth. This weekend at Lifest more ideas came to me within 2 hours than I've had in the past year for our church, and we have so many plans. God's gonna do some great things... so have no fear with that! We'll miss you though :-( But anyways... bye
By P.S. I'm sure God understands if you need a break. We all do at one point or another. Just let your heart rest, it'll be okay in the end.

no one else finds it slightly humorous that the pretentious guys in washington are wasting their time trying to inhibit freedom instead of taking care of big problems, like poverty and such? i think it's funny (in a sick sort of way), cuz it says a lot about our country and where it's going... granted, i personally think people of the same gender should not be allowed to "marry" (but civil unions w/the same privileges is okay, "marriage" is a religious thing and the title should be reserved for the conventional kind), but that's just me, and i don't try to force that on anyone else (that's actually true... on this issue. hehe). but yeah, the end. just thought i'd share that.
By Just wanted to say I really like your opinion on gaymarriage. For some reason reading it made me smile.
By Thank you! Haha, it took me a minute to figure out who you were, ^_^
