Talky Talky Talk Talk

so last week i gave a sermon for high school and jr high. i went over way too long, like by 10-15 minutes. i cant do that as a speaker, but i am still learning. i dont want to come up with any excuses, but they did tell me about a timer that i was supposed to go by, but i never saw nor know where it was, so...there you go. overall though, i thought i did pretty well, it was about becoming salt and what "unsalty" Christians look like, and i got to talk about my friend that passed away from cancer. (www.theletitbefoundation.com if you want info on her). i got a lot of good responses from the students which is always encouraging.

i have been reading the book UnChristian by David Kinnaman. it is really disturbing the way the church as a whole has come off to the unchurched. it has been a real eye opener for me. right now i am reading about how non-Christians look at us how we look at Mormons who come to us door to door. they think we dont genuinely do no care for them as people and we are just wanted to get numbers on our "saved people" list. it has been really different seeing some of these things and studies he has in this book.

i am excited for today though, i get to go to Laguna Beach and hang out down there with Kristin. its nice this week because i have no work or school for the rest of the week. i do have homework though over this little break, but i have to deal.

alright, this blog is going to start to come together. its going.
