Fearless
I offten get stuck on quotes and or bible verses that I try and live a little more like, for a while now I have been stuck on a quote by Taylor swift about being Fearless.
To me fearless is not the absence of fear, it’s not being completely afraid. To me fearless is having fears. Fearless is having doubts, lots of them. To me fearless is living in spite of those things that scare you to death. Fearless is falling madly in love again even though you’ve been hurt before. Fearless is getting back up and fighting for what you want, over and over again, even though every time you’ve tried before, you’ve lost. It’s fearless to have faith that someday things will change. Fearless is having the courage to say goodbye to someone who only hurts you, even if you can’t breathe without them. I think fearless is to fall for your best friend even though he’s in love with someone else and when someone apologizes to you enough times for things they’ll never stop doing I think it’s fearless to stop believing them. It’s fearless to say you’re not sorry and walk away. I think loving someone despite what people think is fearless. I think allowing yourself to cry on the bathroom floor is fearless. Letting go is fearless. Them moving on and being alright that’s fearless too. But not matter what love throws at you, you have to believe in it. It’s fearless to believe in love stories, prince charming’s and happily ever afters.”
This is pretty self explanitory and I think just about anyone can relate to it. Maybe you have not been through exactly what she has or what she is explaining but in everyones life there is SOMETHING they want to be fearless about, there is something they wish they didn't fear. I think she says it so well in this quote.

Trip to Vegas
This Aug. Me and 3 of my other friends are making a trip to Las Vegas because we'll all be twenty one. I, unfortunately got chosen to be the "coordinator" so I've been trying to utilize my resources in finding the cheapest/best ways to go about things!
First CHEAP TICKETS.COM I found us all tickets out of SOUTHWEST for just over $200 dollars... not bad :)
NEXT the Hotel... I'm trying to decided between a couple hotels.. Treasure Island, Ceasers Island and the Bellagio. We can't all decide on one and they all range about the same price!
We are also deciding what show to see while we are there. I have been there 3 times before so I've done a lot of site seeing but I've never been to any shows the ones we are deciding between are.... The Blue Man group, chippendales or cirque du soleil!
So many options and so much more planning to do. If you have an opinion that can help me to make a decision let me know :)

Post Christian America?
Not even close. I read an article in the USA Today that was published Monday April 17Th 2009 about the "post christian America" Throughout the article they explore different aspects of Christianity through polls and raw information. The conclusion at the end of the article says that the post christian world is no where near its the questions that are being asked when taking polls on "what religion people are."
It is said that instead of asking people what religion people are we need to start asking people if they are simply a believer in God, or if they are Christian. Just people you don't belong to a denomination doesn't mean your not a christian. More and more people these days are remaining non denominational claiming they are just christian. So is this becoming a post christian America, Not even close.
I couldn't agree with this article more to be honest. I was bored and raised a Lutheran and although when I go home I still attend my Lutheran church I would consider myself more non denominational then anything. I believe religion is simply a segregation to Gods word and its not about the church I attend or the name I put on my Christianity its the relationship I have with God when no one is around that counts
