churchsquee! + want a picture?

Church this morning was awesome! I love our new pastor! He preached about comedies and Little Bo Peep and A Midsummer Night's Dream and he reminded us that the promises of eternal and abundant life are not about the future only but about right now! They've already started because Jesus already died for our sins AND already rose again from the dead! Christianity is a comedy, and there are tears and confusion but it ends in laughter, and the last word is joy, and the last word has already been spoken! So we should REJOICE! And sway and swing and dance and laugh out loud at least once a week, starting right now! And we sang "Morning has Broken," and in his sermon Rick called a bunch of people by name reminding us that God in Christ loves us, and one of them was ME! "Ruth Ellen! God in Christ loves you!" I love participatory worship!

And I have a DIGICAM! So since I am now camera-ified, I can do that meme from way back

Ask me to take a picture of something around me-- absolutely anything -- so I get to play with my new digicam.

Caveat: not pornographic. And it's up to me to decide what I deem pornographic.

What about the view from your bedroom's window? *g*

Just had to say... "Morning Has Broken" is my one of my favoritte hymns. That sounded like a great sermon!

*sigh* Maybe I really should go back to church.

[wisdomeagle]

Yep, I love that hymn too. :)

If you do go back to church, I hope you find it a positive experience and tell us all about it!

squee God in Christ loves us!!!! :D

So, um, very possibly a heavier question than you're up for responding to right now (and if so, that's more than okay)...in what sense(s) do you consider yourself a not-so-traditional Christian? I've been wanting to ask you that for awhile because I'm just always curious about how people identify themselves and such.

Could you take a picture of yourself with a favorite stuffed animal? :)

I'll try to remember to post the picture of you, me, and Elizabeth soon... It turned out really cute. I'm also having prints made and will send each of you a copy :D

omg i'm SO procrastinating...

Eeep! I don't know if I have a stuffed animal with me (Sometimes when I pack to go to school I pretend I'm very mature and don't have such things.) But I'll figure something out!

in what sense(s) do you consider yourself a not-so-traditional Christian?

Sure, I can answer that, maybe in a few hours when I've gotten a little bit of sleep? Are you more curious about how I identify as Christian, or the ways that my Christianity is not-so-traditional?

Yay! I can't wait to see that picture of us! Dorksquee. :p

(Will answer your comment re: Greyhound again when I am more awake...)

God in Christ loves YOU, Sarah!

I'm probably more interested in the not-so-traditional bits. For now, get some sleep! :) *huggle*

[mayhap]

Take a picture of your ankle! Victorian pr0n!

Or, more seriously, take a picture of your computer! Because awww, computer!

Wow, exclamation points are contagious! And once you start, you just can't stop!

Wow. That sounds like a great service.

I love Morning Has Broken. If you want me to come out of church really uplifted, that Hymn and Lord of the Dance will do it *g*

That sounds like such a wonderful service. It makes me sad that I'm kind of little between churches right now--can't wait to get home and start going more regularly again.
