Today has been rather uneventful for me. I woke up and totally forgot it was Saturday(seriously, Thanksgiving break is messing with my brain) and for those of us without cable, Saturday means there's hardly anything decent on. So I watched Power Rangers.. I used to hate that show, but today's episode was kinda cool. I wasn't really watching though, cause I was making cheese biscuits, but it felt like a kid soap-opera. The theme song was kinda cool. I made hot chocolate and whipped cream for the first time this year today! ahhh, amazing. Then my mommy told me to clean my room, but i couldn't find my relient k Christmas CD and i was pretty bummed about that. I still can't find it :( I really want to redo my room, so hopefully I can do that over Christmas break. Of course, I said that before summer break so who knows when it will actually happen.
I've written and deleted about 19 different paragraphs that could follow the quote, but I'm just going to leave you with this...
"Why do we do the things we do? Why do we go to church or give money away? Because we’re supposed to or because we think God needs it? Do we honestly put on our best clothes for an hour once a week, stand and sit at all the right times, and sing all the appropriate songs for God’s sake, or because it’ll make us look better to the world around us? We’re tired of all the empty rituals and routines. And so is God. God hates it when we call ourselves Christians but ignore all the things he really cares about. He hates it when we go through hollow religious routines out of some feeling of duty or obligation. God doesn’t want the meaningless rituals. God wants our hearts."-Rob Bell
Much Love,
