Soo.. sometimes this is how I feel, specially being sick, never wanting to get out of my bed...

I feel that us as christians we can be the same way, we hide under the covers of our "christianity" never wanting to come out of the warmth.
I mean, it's a challenge for everyone but take this. I got these from the Webster's dictionary.

Christian: one who professes belief in the teachings of Jesus Christ

Profess: to declare or admit openly or freely


I love to help people...

but even if i do... why the heck is it soo darn hard to DECLARE the AMAZING news of Jesus Christ to people in Canada.
There are soo many people here that are probly going to hell(hopefully not) but it seems, to me, like they don't need help finding the answers... most have money... homes... food... libraries... computers...bibles... they have the opportunities to find the answers/"meaning" to life...but they reject them or don't even think about them...
whereas, people in third/fourth/fifth world countries barely have any of these... specially not bibles...
We can get soo wrapped up in other countries needing help (not saying they don't) when really we need to start here in canada soo we can get even more people going over to those needy countries...

This coming from me, the guy who wants to go to be a missionary over sea's...:P

That's why i think we really need to challenge ourselves over the next couple months to be missionaries in our hometowns...

Soo, i am sick... it sucks...

I wont be going to floor hockey tonight...no physical activity, thanks MOM!!! (she knows best:))
Instead i am going to spend some quality time with my Daddy watching the Blazers get there pants knocked off like usual...

Soo last night... i am on msn... like usual, lately...
I start talking to some good people...:D
One of them...is farely depressed... his girlfriend dumped him on valentines day... kinda ironic eh?
anyways.. we get talking and he decides that it is Gods fault and that God wanted him to be sad... and that God hates him...
I start convincing him that God didn't do it to make him sad but to teach him a lesson... i kinda get him calmed down...
He tells me that he planned on giving her flowers and taking her out for supper... :P (I just don't understand "dating" at the age of too young:)
Anyways... i get this idea in my head ...
"hey, i am dateless, he is dateless... we should do something together... a man to man date (nothing wierd:) and plus it would get his mind of things
Soo... i ask him on a date to the movies...
we pick him up, and Matthew joins.... kind of a date triangle
anyways... we walk down to the movies... get in a massive line... and get to the counter... my friend says to the old creepy man who usually just does janitorial stuff...
"i would like a youth ticket for The Eye (14A)"
The man glares at him... "How old are you?"

"i am 14 he replies"

Being the asininely stubborn creepy guy he is he shoots back "i will need to see some school i.d."

wimpering he replies "um... i am almost 15... and someone stole my wallet at school"

"well... i'm sorry but you need i.d."


That was the most ridiculous thing ever... who asks for i.d. for a 14A movie.... honestly

anyways.. we sat there pondering what to do... and then i said

"hey!! we both know you are 14... soo... i will buy your ticket at the other counter...."

I am amazing... it worked the movie was jumpy, but dumb.... and i found out later that my friend and his girlfriend are probly getting back together... ho ly (valentines day... wow)
