A MUST read about Befriending a Porn Star

http://heretogoal.blogspot.com/2005/08/lessons-from-writing-about-marie.html

Whether you really have time for it or not, you should really go read this collection of blog entries. It's a story about a girl and her friendship with a porn star. It sounds crazy, but at the end of the story, I just sat crying. It really speaks volumes.

The following is a quote from her story that really stuck out to me...

"i still had my faith, but it was not the way i wanted it, it wasn't happy, it
wasn't encouraging, it wasn't like they told me it should be at church. it
was messy, it was sad, it was angry, it was real."


This really gives you an insight on how to really love sinners. So go check it out. You will not be disappointed.

I read it, Kim. It left me in tears too. It was so sobering. It made me sit there and think for a really long time.

I can't believe you would reference such hideous writing. Hey, I'm all for showing the love of Christ, but come on, Natala's writing was nothing more than just wicked propoganda to promote putting down The Church. We should not and will not conform to this world. Jesus may have eaten with sinners, but He didn't dwell with them. True, this is a sad story about Marie, but it isn't a unique one. And God only knows how many times He showed Marie how much He loved her, and reached out to her. She just flat out rejected Him and then blamed Him for her suffering. Now that's just gross mockery. And it shouldn't be promoted.

The Shallow Side of the Blog

I pride myself in being balanced. I'm not too liberal or too conservative. I'm not too girly nor too much of a tomboy...etc. Well today I'm throwing my balance to the wind and I'm going to be shallow. I went to the mall in search for a jersey for a friend. Well why I was there, I had to stop by a few stores and check out the clothes. I found not one, not two, but three new skirts. What's even great is that 2 of them are blue jean, and for all of you apostolic girls out there...you know how hard it is to find a good blue jean skirt. One even came with this really trendy scarf belt. I'm very excited about it! I've never noticed how much clothes I actually have. Some of the students have made the comment that I have not worn the same outfit since school started on January 3rd. What's sad, or good, is that they're right. I may have worn a skirt twice, but it was always with a different top. Somehow I still look at my closet and say, "I have nothing ...

American Idol? I think NOT!

Let it be said, American Idol is rigged! I've always thought this, but I know for sure this season, it's true! First, have you ever noticed that they pick certain people to do "stories" about. Somehow 99% of those people end up making it to the top 12. Amazing they have such an accurate record, considering that the shows choosing the top 12 is not pre-recorded? Hmmm?? Have the producers already decided who they want to be the top 12? Secondly, the whole Chris exit . Please, everyone in America wanted Chris to win. Everyone knew Chris was going to win. Personally I think there was some talking going on with him and the producers, he got a good offer and asked to be kicked. I have no proof of that, but it sounds good. I mean, come on, everyone knew Chris was going to win. This week, it was down to Taylor, Katherine, and Elliott. On Wednesday's episode of Good Morning America, they showed footage of both Taylor and Katherine, but didn't of Elliott. Did they kn...
