Offense

Sometimes I believe life is very similar to a Seinfeld episode.....
It was a beautiful warm Friday night where a group of college students meet at this spectacular place to learn spectacular things through a wonderful study of a book called Proverbs... Things were going particularly well this evening.. Things were said... people were learning... and than all of a sudden a cake was brought out and we were informed that it was Russ's birthday! What better idea than to celebrate the birth of someone's life with a group of men. First mistake....men singing happy birthday..... second.....men making a cake.......third (which i find the most offensive) man cutting cake!.. Some might say... how hard is it to cut a cake? others might ask what shape? Well... from a woman's point.. It was a round cake which would be properly cut like a pizza but NO.. things had to get complicated.. The knife which was held by a man.. was inserted not in the middle but between the middle and the side and was slowly cutting out a mouth from the cake as if this was the golden piece, as if it would taste any different than any other part of the cake.. My mouth was open with shock as I sat and watched this offensive act..I think I almost had to close my eyes not to watch! Anyone struggling with cutting cakes... Its okay, just do not do it in public.. sometimes it just takes practice and I would freely give them lessons..

*Not everything in this post is true....1. some men can sing 2. some men can bake a cake.... That's all

Distressed

Maybe I am just starting to realize the depth of sin more and more but that movie "click" was one of the worst movies I ever saw.. Once I find hollywoods address, I am writing a descriptive letter about the movie! It sickened me that I let my sisters and others sit in that theater and let all that crude, sexual humor and dumb plot seep into their minds. The funny thing is though.. Take all the bad stuff out of the movie and it was still ridiculous, dumb and had no real point or truth behind the movie. I'll have you know that I believe that the group of girls we went with know the difference between right and wrong but whats even worse is that there were younger children in that movie with parents and some just on their own looking at this!! Worst of all... My conscience was telling me to get up and walk out but I did not. Forget the conscience.. I know it was the Holy Spirit convicting me. I walked away actually ashamed before God that I sat through that! Praise Him for his never-ending love and everlasting forgiveness towards me. If you want to see a movie.. See Nacho Libre.. dumb funny.. I'm kind of into that though.. Another dumb movie "the break up"- should have walked out of that too.. I think I am going to stop seeing movies and start reading more books
