don't take offense at my innuendo, please.

and yes, those are Queen lyrics, and no, "innuendo" does not mean what you think it does.

I've been noticing this lately, especially with the Da Vinci Code madness. Why is everyone so offended by Christianity, yet no one seems to care if they offend Christians? I was at a friend's house last night, there were six of us, and only two of us are Christians. One girl (not mentioning names, thanks) is a BIG Da Vinci fan and was telling us about it, and though she promised she didn't believe it was true (and yes she was being honest) she made a few comments about Christianity in general that I really didn't appreciate, just little things, like "oh, she's being a hypocrite, is she a Christian?" and I really wanted to say something but I've had some BAD experiences with witnessing to this girl. But I don't think anyone noticed that I'd been hurt by those little things, just because they're used to that. Everyone is in this world. even I'm getting used to it.

But this is what I mean: Christians have to be SO CAREFUL around unbelievers in order to make a good impression on them but I've never seen an unbeliever careful of their words around a Christian. It's one thing to swear and take God's name in vain because that is in a sense the language of the world but another thing entirely to say things that really could hurt someone. I just don't understand why-- I'm thinking it's because as Christians we're supposed to put the feelings of others before our own but most people just can't do that, heck, a lot of Christians just don't do that... but that's beside the point. I love my friends absolutely to death despite their beliefs, but I just wish they'd understand that I can be just as offended as they can.

opinions? comment please. thank you :)


well yesterday was Geauga Lake day... wow... I RODE THE BATMAN GUYS!! wooo I owe Brittany and Jackie a million for making me do that because it was SO MUCH FUN! aah and then I went to the CBT banquet which is my last one for at least a year... it always takes something like the banquet to make me realize what I've really done dancing... how much I've learned... what I've been a part of... something bigger than my tears... than my body... I think I've been part of some kind of miracle... but then I went to the formal for the last half hour or so and EVERYONE LOOKED SO PRETTY AAWWW! wow I can't believe how fast middle school has gone by and I can't believe that for the most part eighth grade is over... wow. fun stuff though. (and that's the part of this post that has no point.)
