Ugh.

I know it will never change, but I just hate for people to regard truth as "not for them."

I realize that it's not *proven*, but it really bothers me for something I believe as truth to be regarded as merely "not for them."

Not for them how? Jesus is not a *practice.*

Gah.

I can't help it. I just hate for Jesus to be thrown into the typical box of "religion," even if Christianity IS a religion. It's so much more than that. But you can't see that unless you ARE a Christian.

You believe to understand, not understand to believe. Or, at least, you believe to understand BETTER than you might already understand before you believe.

Call me close-minded, I don't give a rip. There's nothing wrong with being close-minded sometimes. Nothing at all wrong. Especially if your close-mindedness comes from your open-mindedness. Try that one on for size.

This is the second time I've dreamt I got drunk. Last night I dreamt I was on the lawn drinking a Bud Light and I fell asleep and then had to call Jared and tell him I was drunk.
What is this? Heh.

I've grown so sick of defending my faith. I shouldn't have to. The gospel is "foolishness to those who are perishing, but to those who are being saved it's the power of God." (Or something along those lines). I don't expect people to understand. Yet, at the same time, I have a responsibility to witness to people.

Ah well. I don't need proof. I KNOW God is who he says he is.

Yeah. I know exactly what you mean. Christians spend more time defending their faith than anything. It gets rather monotonous after a while.
