| Rick Warren said a comment in a Fox News interview that really upset me. I'm afraid of all the Christians and Non-Christians out in the world who heard this and think this is what Christianity is. Read it for yourself and tell me what you think.

COLMES: All right. Let me ask you: you talk about, OK, so you think everybody needs a savior.
WARREN: I do.
COLMES: Well, what about those people who don't — you know, I happen to be Jewish. Not everybody — and Jesus, by the way, I have a lot in common with. Same religion.
WARREN: Absolutely.
COLMES: So not everybody necessarily goes that route.
WARREN: The thing is, Alan, I believe Jesus Christ came for everybody. I don't think he came for Christians. The Bible says take this good news to the whole world.
I don't care whether you're Baptist, Buddhist, Mormon, Methodist, Jewish, Muslim, or no religion at all. Jesus Christ still loves you. You still matter to God.
COLMES: True, and I think that's a wonderful message. But if you don't accept Jesus, if you're not something who goes that route religiously...
WARREN: Yes.
COLMES: ... can you find your way to heaven? Can you still be — go to the same place when it's all said and done?
WARREN: I'm not the authority on that, but I believe Jesus is. And everybody's betting their life on something. Jesus said, "I am the way." I'm betting that he's not a liar. I'm betting that he told the truth.
COLMES: What about — what does it say for all those people who do not accept Christ as their personal savior?
WARREN: I'm saying that this is the perfect time to open their life, to give it a chance. I'd say give him a 60-day trial.
(CROSSTALK)
COLMES: Like the Book of the Month Club.
WARREN: Give him a trial. See if he'll change your life. I dare you to try trusting Jesus for 60 days. Or your money guaranteed back.
COLMES: Really? You're going to give me the money back?
WARREN: Absolutely. Direct to me, Sean Hannity, FOX News Channel.
Because Jesus said take up your cross and follow me for 60-days, and see if you like it.

| People still update this! Hahah, only you Grace.
I have so much time since I've deleted Facebook. I'm reading more, but I should probably be studying. | | |
| I dislocated my clavicle when I fell off my bike. I fixed it myself.
I kinda passed out from the pain.
On a lighter note: I deleted facebook.

| I love my bicycle. I've been working so hard to get a motorcycle, but find myself so satisfied with its more primitive prototype. I ride when I can and as far as my legs can pedal, which isn't a great idea because I have to pedal back. I love the stress on my legs when the slope of the road gets to steep, or the wind whistling in my ear as a speed down a hill. It is all so spiritual. The bond between the biker and bike and the bike and road. The spokes of my wheel spinning around in an almost hypnotic spiral, the asphalt running under my wheels, and the beating of my heart to set the rhythm.
I love my bicycle. I almost feel like a kid again. I remember the days my bike was the only means of transportation (the bus was unknown to me). I lived on the block where everyone had roller skates and I was the only one with the BMX bike. Friends would hold onto the back of my seat while I stood up to speed down the street, carrying a line of other children who are only experiencing a fraction of the speed and joy of my bike.
Well, those days have passed and I'm much older and I find the equal joy almost impossible to find in anything (that childlike joy) except in Christ. I'm only so fortunate now to be able to afford my bicycle at such an awesome price. The Lord has truly blessed me. :)
 I love my bicycle.

| 365 days: that is 8,760 hours, 525,600 minutes, or 31,536,000 seconds.
How am I to pray ceaselessly? (2 Thessalonians 5:17)
Paul was crazy.
