I think that sometimes life is weird. I mean a couple of years ago a friend of mine was diagnosed with cancer. Now that is unfortunately that rare, but it never seems like it is something that can happen to someone who is close to you and younger than you. now she is dying.those four words bring a chill to the bone. As I called people last night to ask them to pray, many of them asked if she was a Christian. I answered yes she was and was greeted with, well that's good. I began to think about how those words can be so uncomforting. I mean, I know that when she dies she will be in heaven, but it still doesn't take away the hurt that SHE IS DYING!! How many times have I offered those words as comfort without realizing that they don't necessarily meet the need of the mourner? I can't be angry with God, I mean I have confidence that he will be glorified through this situation no matter what, but I wish I could ask him what His plan is. So anyway, if anybody reads this please keep my friends Berenika in your prayers.

I'm sitting in a coffee shop on a rainy Sunday afternoon and wondering about how cool I look. I mean seriously, I live in this tendy neighborhood in my city and am probably the least cool person within a five mile radius. As I listen to the conversations around me (don't get all accusatory you do it too!), I hear people trying their best to sound as intellectual and hip as possible. What is it with us? I mean, I have done the same thing with the hope that no one will realize that I haven't a clue what I am talking about :). Anyways, I guess I can't judge them, I didn't even hear the whole conversation due to the fact that I didn't really care what they were talking about. Basically they were talking about a book and how interesting it was, but how it was just for fun and not anything meaningful ( we all need books like that in our lives, Harry Potter is my favorite for those occasions), but then the conversation turned to Hollywood and how movies are stupid, which for the most part I agree. That's why I love them!!!!!! I mean truly, how many of us want to go to a movie and be depressed by how real it is. I go to the movies to see something not real!
All this is neither here nor there. Hey if your reading my blog your like only the thrid or fourth person to do so. Hope you enjoyed it.
I am almost done ranting now. I think sitting here in this really "cool" coffee shop is getting old and I must get ready to leave anyways.
