I look like Eddie Murphy

Apparently I look the most like Eddie Murphy...hmmm...but then again I resemble Mike Myers too...

how true...

decisions...decisions...

So I hardly make New Year's resolutions because I always break them but I thought I'd take a chance. So my New Year's Resolution is to make decisions. This is a bigge for me actually because anyone who hangs out with me knows that I can be the mose indecisive person on the planet. So, that's my decision. and I started already. I decided that I didn't want to have 2 jobs anymore so I quit one and i have my nights and weekends back! But I do have a plan so I'm not making stupid decisions...Sadly that means that I won't be in Riverside much longer but actually I'm seeing more and more that it's ok...anyway, more on that later

just a little freaked out...

So, I was a victim to idiots racing on the freeway...another reason why I hate driving and working graveyard I'm ok but my wonderful Jeep "Chuck" isn't. He's a lil' banged up. That makes me sad :( and it freaked me out too. My first accident. not my fault but in the eyes of the insurance holders it could be because I hit him but it's not my fault that he was being an idiot driver! it was scary I say. And all I could think was that I could have died (not being overly dramatic here, I'm lucky) So don't tell your moms, i'm ok and pray that everything gets fixed and I get a new job... how's that for an after graduation blog...

I wonder what I will blog about now...

So, the ONE time I ever watched Sex in the City, one of the ladies was throwing a shower for herself and she said something along the lines of "After you graduate from college besides your birthday, if you are single you are no longer celebrated... No showers, no weddings no anniversaries...nothin"
I must admit, if you look it that way, it'll make you sad...BUT NOT ME!!! :D DUDE!!! I'M DONE!!!! I am graduating in 2 days!! I'm finally excited!. Sure it took me a little longer than others but I feel that's just how I operate sometimes, I'm a step behind but I'll get there.
The only thing that is bittersweet is that fact that it is December and just as much as everyone else is excited to get out of school, they can say "Ok I'll see you in 3 weeks"...Nope I won't see people after the break because I don't have classes in the spring. Sad but exciting all the same. I guess I have to just keep my blogs and not commit social suicide because we all know that without one of these things you just don't exist... lol
So if I don't see you tomorrow or at the graduation, friends, have a wonderful Christmas, I love you all dearly, there is really no way I could have done this without you guys. You are really part of the product you see today wether you like it or not but if you are my friend, you most likely like it. I may be gone but I'm not dead so I expect to hear from you and heaven knows you really can't keep away from "the Bapper" no matter how hard you try so I'll pop up here and there sometimes!

Should I sue?!

So I've been coughing like a smoker for what I feel like all semester but I could be exaggerating... whatever, Anyway the last time I went to the dr. I had bronchitis and was given robitussin, now they tell me that that was not the right medicine I should be taking and that I need to take flippin' dimatapp! how lame is that! and that's after I had to call my insurance 4 times so that I could find the correct Dr. to go to cuz appearently CBU doesn't use parkview anymore...ugh I say!
In other news, if I really work hard tonight I can officially be done with all my work! maybe then I can be excited about graduating...Ok that's all I think for now.

But now I found one more thing...it what I learned in my Stokes class.
"The establishment of a Christian home is dependant on a Christian man taking the responsibility and the lead. It will not happen if he is coerced by his wife of if he feels incompetent to take the lead. Our congregations must teach men how to be godly men first in their homes, then in congregation and society. We are at a crisis. for too long, men have not led the way. The key to making a Christian home is a man who will love his wife as Christ loved the church, who will provide, nurture, and watch carefully over his children as God does for us. He will do this because he is obedient and trusting of his God who acts in this same manner toward him. A Christian home depends on a man who is in proper relationship with his God, his wife, and his children".

Thank God for those of you who found men like this, thank God for those of you who are aspiring to be like this, and Thank God for ladies who want guys like this...

what it all boils down to...

ok, so if you know anything about my life, you know that I am writing a Sr. Project, and instead of you reading 25 pages of what I wrote (I don't even want to read it) I'll give you the cliff's notes about what psychologists are saying about the youth's attitude towards God and religion.
The main thing is that they've summed up their beliefs into a "creed" called Moralistic Therapeutic Deism (say that three times fast) which is:

1. A God exists who created and orders the world and watches over human life on earth.

2. God wants people to be good, nice, and fair to each other, as taught in the Bible and by most world religions.

3. The central goal of life is to be happy and to feel good about oneself.

4. God does not need to be particularly involved in one’s life except when God is needed to resolve a problem.

5. Good people go to heaven when they die.

What makes me sad is that if this is what the church is teaching our young people, we are NOT teaching the truth, and if this our young people's view of Jesus, it breaks my heart that he's been boiled down to a "Moralistic therapeutic diety". And we are raising up a very selfish generation... trust me I could go on and on about this topic ( I feel like I did I mean, 25 pages! geez!!)
