im procrastinating.....i have a application for LSU ambassadors due at 12 and i don't feel like writing an autobiography...so here i am. its been such an encouragement to see all of the volunteers who have pour out their time and compassion to shelter and embrace those who have been displaced by katrina. you know all of my life i have noticed that churches always have been a church for themselves and never a church community. It seemed to me as a wandering, confused christian that the churches just wanted me to be a member never a part of the family. I finally felt that acceptence from FUMC enterprise but even still some kids went through FUMC and missed out on that aspect. i guess what i am trying to say is that it seems like the church and finally steped up to the plate and seen the big picture. i've seen catholics helping methodists whom are helping baptist whom are helping non denominational churches. it seems like the church is now a community church of God and i can say i am proud of us. I've always thought that church was just a place of fellowship a place to be around christians so that they can strengthen your faith. But now my eyes have been opened its not just about fellowship its about helping those who are hurting. they are who we are here far. I go to a place called "a healing place for a hurting world"... if you are reading this from BR please come with me one sunday....healing place is a church who has outreaches all the time they are fueled on being warriors for christ and are what i like to call an active church. so many church have become so passive...its almost frustrating but now since Aug. 29th churches have really been "awesome" in their compassion for others. well now that i am done venting for the day i can leave now with a smile and write my autobiography!!
