Intro

Hey all,
So I started this because I realized that I wasn't journaling enough, but I am frequently glued to my computer, so hopefully this will give me an outlet other than Facebook and Myspace.

I've been listening to Josh Harris' messages on purity today. They're so good! I recommend them to anyone who wants something just to play in their room, regardless of your convictions! They might give you something new to think about. I listen to messages all the time when I'm folding laundry! You know how sometimes music just isn't enough? At some point or another you've heard all the songs on your iTunes playlist, you know all the words, and it just becomes monotone. Your mind wants something to *think* about!

In the same vein, I found a group on Facebook called "I'm Saving Myself for Wild, Passionate, Awkward Honeymoon Sex." Not only did I think that was awesome it itself, but it has almost 17,000 members! I was looking through the message board, and a few people posted with the intention of instigating arguments. The replies (yes, sometimes got out of hand) but overall I was so encouraged to see just how many young Christians there are out there who are willing to speak up for God's plan! Even as several people tried to "rationalize" their way out of saving sex for marriage - and some of them were professing Christians - there were dozens of others who vehemently replied with scripture and conviction that God's Word is not and never will be outdated or flawed! It was really encouraging. For every reason that Facebook can be corrput and encourage so many just deeply sinful things, I think that Christians can use anything as an outlet for sharing the Gospel, because it is all powered by God Himself.

Random thought for today: I like carrots. But only with ranch dip. Fat free ranch dip tastes the same as regular ranch dip. So why would you buy the kind that is bad for you?
