I thought of you all today in mass. The gospel was Zaccheus the tax-collector....our first Youth Mass ever! For the Son of Man has come to seek and to save what was lost or something of the like.
Anyway, I survived Halloween, obviously.
Ryan and I were just talking and decided we should all get together over Thanksgiving weekend. Because I WANT TO SEE EVERYONE, especially CARRIE who never writes in here! So yiss. You whores better figure something out. The end.
Sorry, Jenny, I didn't even see your post. I totally would've tried to help you if I had. I'll be home Thanksgiving for sure, and possibly the weekend of the 12-14 of November. I'd really like to come home to see the musical, but my parents don't want to come and get me if I'm going to be coming home the next weekend (Thanksgiving) anyway.
I miss you guys tons....I think that's why I'm having such issues with the church here, :P You all need to write more! Especially CARRIE, who hasn't written AT ALL!!!!11!111!one
Other than that....IT'S ALMOST HALLOWEEN!! Hopefully I'll still be alive on Monday, ^_~
In other news.....VOTE NOVEMBER 2ND!!! (preferably for Kerry, but I know some of you happen to be....conservative whores. But it's better to vote than not to vote at all!)
Woah...can someone please explain to me HOW my entire template just got deleted? Seriously, none of my blog will show up anymore, and almost all of the template is gone. I have no idea how to get it back...if anyone knows, please reply! I know nothing about computers ^^;
Hello, everyone! It is great to come in here and see that some people have written, because I miss all of you! I just wanted to let you all know that I'll be home the 21st through the 24th...it's fall break! Which is something I could definitely use right now. So if anything is going on, please let me know. I'd love to see you all while I'm home. But right now it is sleepy time, and I'm off to bed. Good night all
That whore is moving to hard rock stations, pop stations and has agreements to mainstream music artists.
I was so outraged, I had to post on the blog!
What a bunch of craP! All this guy says to teenagers is tell people that they're CRAP and that the Jesus can solve all their problems by prayer. Prayer helps but..............................................action is action.
Well, let's see. I decided to not go back to Bible Study, which I think was a good decision. It just...sucks. I was talking to my friend Eunice about church here and she feels the same way I do - they make everything into this huge commitment they're so....I don't know when people get all starry-eyed and everything about their faith it just gives me a bad feeling.
Church itself is still good and I have gotten involved in one way! Indeed, I write petitions for mass. This is a very good activity. I get to analyze the readings and try to make prayers that I think would apply to everyone. I highly recommend trying to write petitions!
But yeah. Eunice and I think a free-form discussion group would be good. Because like, the Bible Study is all structured and the praise-worship group they have is just that - praise/worship music and then a speaker. No opportunity for conversation. So I think I still need a little while to assess all the programs they have. And then I think it'll be time for the laying down of smack.
They mentioned something in mass a couple weeks ago about how they're not going to let other people speak during the homilies any more. And it kind of bothers me because I'd really like to ask, "Alright your altar is in the center of church on a lower level than everything else and your Eucharist is chunks of bread made by students. And you're telling me those things are okay by laypeople being involved in homilies is not?"
In some ways maybe it's better I'm at a church like this. We all know I'd be bored if I couldn't tell people off, ;)
Anyway, I miss you guys but I definitely need to start attacking my pile of homework/studying. Good luck to all of you who have midterms and good luck to Lit on Fire whores with your first youth mass next Sunday! Let us know how it goes. And encourage each other to WRITE in here! The point of this blog is so we still know what's going on in each other's lives and with youth-stuff at church. What's been going on with Manny? Do you guys have any activities other than Lit on Fire and New Life?
Well, college is a lump sum of stress and anguish. Just to warn the people who think that they should slack off in school.........................................DON'T! Otherwises you'll end up on Freshman Probation like me and struggle with all of your classes.
Life in college was tough when I first started because I felt as if I couldn't do anything or wasn't making a difference. Having the illusion of being "needed" is very important in forming your place in the structure. That feeling of homesickness has died with it.
Don't fall into the trap of the Internet! or at least the bad elements of the internet. INSTANT MESSENGER IS THE DEVIL! the end and my obsession with checking up on people on their blogs ended today. So, I'll keep connected through this blog! HA.
It sounds for the most part that all of you guys are doing well in school which is good to hear.
Church involvement: I found a church suitable for my needs on campus! Even better: it's Catholic! There's a grandma type lady who is the equivalent to Carrie when she gets old. Some of the kids there are fanatics but the majority are not so............it's all good. We have Youth Liturgy planning regularly on Thursdays. The Priest is the male equivalent to Sarah which is pretty amussing.
We should have youth liturgy planning on saturday or get together for the whores on thanksgiving.
