Romans 5:8
"But God demonstrates His own love towards us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us."
Think about that a minute. I kinda think of this verse as two people, not necessarily friends. But one of the people goes out and talks about the other one all the time and harrasses them and anything else you can think of. And the other "friend" still looks at them and forgives them. Let's them off the hook. Could you do that? Probably not, but that is what we have Christ for. He is the most amazing forgiver. Even murderers and child malesters (spelling) could be saved and renewed. And only Christ could allow that.
Speaking of this, I want to see the movie Passion. I think I would have a really hard time with it, but I think it's something everyone, at least every Christian, needs to see. It's hard to even imagine what Jesus went thro on that cross and the preparation for it. It makes me think of the song How Deep The Father's Love For Us. If you've never heard it, it's very heart-wrenching. I will put the lyrics on here later. I just encourage everyone to thank God for every day and every minute because if it weren't for his Son to die on the cross, all of us would be burning in hell for eternity. I get the chills everytime I even hear the word hell. I just can't even imagine....
--Today--
Research Project needs to end, and hopefully soon. It's driving me nuts. Although, I did find a very interesting and eye-catching website today. Unfortunate thing: It's 16 pages long. So I might just jot some stuff down and then read it.
We have a student teacher in French. Whenever we walk in class now, she asks us a question in French. Well, some of us don't really know French, or noone at all. Yea, it's our second year, but what does that say about the teacher? Anyway, I walk in the door and she says "Tu t'appelles comment?" Ok, I know what this means because we had it in our first year of french, but the meaning just wasn't coming to me. So of course, I'm like huh? And I kinda look like a total retard (happens enough that I'm used to it), and then I'm like ohhh! My name's Chloe. (french name) She's like ummm en francais! Ok Ok! Je m'appelle Chloe. Let me tell ya, it was a little embarassing. You can't put me on the spot like that. I do owe a huge apology to any of the French people in the world. I would have to say I slaughtered about every word today. New vocab list, so I guess it's ok.
Allergy shot. Yuck! Enough said.
Hockey: Highlight of my day! I scored +!!!! 2 1/2 goals. And I didn't even score on my own goal. I was so proud of myself. And the best thing was that Peddie was the goalie and he is always arrogant about how sweet he is. Kinda like Brownley. I say 2 1/2 cuz the last goal he kinda scored on himself, but I was standing right there forcing the nervousness, so I count it for myself. lol. Jared says I was the MVP and All-Star of the day. So I felt pretty good.
After school, dear ol' volleyball. I can't wait til the end of our season. It's getting a little repetative and it's getting old. I need some change here.
Now I get to go to church with Jared and then to his intramural game. Hope they win. Good luck!
Game at Grandville tomorrow. They have a girl that is 6'8" on their Varsity. What did they feed her? I swear. So it should be interesting.
I'm out....
Hope you enjoyed, cuz I'm kinda slackin....
