Spiced Apple Cider is deeelish. I mean in terms of hot drinks you make from powder, it's pretty top notch. Except I spilled it all over the teacher's desk in first hour. Ooooh well.
So school is pretty easy. I fall asleep a lot. I thought I had narcolepsy (this was when we talked about it in AP Psych) but then I realized I'm only tired all the time because I stay up til 3 in the morning every night. That might be the reason behind it all. But, yeah, school. So I drink hot chocolate and eat pop tarts while making a hideous coil pot, then I take notes about things like "Spaceship Earth," then spend a class talking to Amber about the profundity of the lyrics "mix yo' milk wif mah cocoa puffs," then watch film festival movies or british how-to-make-movies movies, go to lunch, listen to some tunes in advisory, sleep through english, b.s. articles in newspaper, then spend spanish class talking to Chrisser about foot-tall people. It's really not too bad at all. I just wish there were sweeter people in my second hour. On the first day I was disappointed about that, but then I remembered.. there's only a modicum* of sweet people at this place anyway.
La di daaaaaaa
I'm feeling pretty in between things lately. Happy, yeah. I'd even say content. But then there's some things I don't know about. But I'm fine just being for now. Or "just chillin'" as Roman would've said last year.
And, like, I wouldn't say I have regrets. But I do feel like I handled things like a real Sweeney when it came to a few fellas not too long ago.
*vocab word.. couldn't resist using it
OH yeah.. Happy February.

"'At last!' Adam exclaimed, 'She is part of my own flesh and bone! She will be called "woman" because she was taken out of man.' This explains why a man leaves his father and mother and is joined to his wife, and the two are united into one."
Genesis 2:23-24
See, here is my position: Homosexuals should not be allowed to marry. Is it because I am against homosexuals? No. I love homosexuals as the human beings they are. But the problem in my eyes is how we define marriage.
The word 'gentleman' used to mean two things: it meant you owned land and you had a coat of arms. It had nothing to do with morality, behavior, or anything else. Obviously the definition of the word today is much different and you cannot use it in the sense for which it was created any longer. This is why Christians talk about "protecting the sanctity of marriage." The first marriage was exactly the way God intended it. Man and woman. That was how he created it.
The second problem I see in all of this debate is the fact that marriage is an institution of the church. It is a sacrament, in the same way as eating the cracker and drinking the wine, or baptism. If a homosexual obviously does not intend to adhere to the basics of a faith, then why would they want to participate in one of the sacraments?
I understand the economic side of the argument, and that is why I support civil unions. If two men, or two women want to spend the rest of their lives together, cool dude. Let them have the tax breaks and whatever legal rights that entails. But they don't need to be married for that. Honestly, I don't see why homosexuals, or non-christians for that matter, even want to get married. It is just a status thing, and that detracts from what it was, and is meant to be.
I understand that many people who are very poor examples of Christ have made this issue about other things, or have fought this for the wrong reasons. I just hope that I have been able to give you a good idea of the biblical argument. And I certainly have not been attacking you or your position. I was just trying to help explain where others may have failed.
I'm sorry that I'm a very poor example of Christ far too often also. I hope I've never made you feel attacked or anything like that. I like you too much for that.
hmm... im liking jonathan's arguement there. buttttt seeing as how i do not know where i stand when it comes to gay marraige i am going to both agree and disagree. the adam thing... yes. i'm all for adam and eve... yayyyyyy man was created. and i love God like no other for doing so. but at the same time God loves me every moment of everyday, He doesn't dwell on my mistakes or anything... yatta yatta... what i am getting at here is God accepts everyone and everything, no matter what. it is by God's given grace that He loves us. so by His given grace... He loves homosexuals also.
im teetering between wether im against it or not. i dont really care to tell you the truth. just felt like ...talking haha.
have a good one.
..i mean... He loves them even if they get married. you know? k im done. im not making sense anymore.
No, I get what you're saying and I agree. God loves us all regardless.
"God's law was given so that all people could see how sinful they were. But as people sinned more and more, God's wonderful kindness became more abundant. So just as sin ruled over all people and brought them to death, now God's wonderful kindness rules instead, giving us right standing with God and resulting in eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. Well then, should we keep on sinning so that God can show us more and more kindness and forgiveness? Of course not! Since we have died to sin, how can we continue to live in it?"
Romans 5:20-21,6:1-2
God loves someone who is homosexual whether or not they act on their urges. Does that mean they should just give in to what gives them pleasure and continue in sin? Of course not! In the same regard, does God love me the same regardless of whether or not I have pre-marital sex with my girlfriend, or even if I were to kill a man? Yes. But does that mean I should continue in sin? No. Just because we are given free will does not mean that every choice we make is the right one.
I'm glad that we can have a healthy debate for once.
And I wasn't trying to convince anyone to agree with me either. I was just trying to clarify what I believe the Biblical veiwpoint is, and that shared by most of the Christian church.
