If you don't have a religion, than what do you live for?!

Man, the title sums up a good part of my night. But anyways, I kinda feel like this is my journal... so...

Dear Journal,
Today I went fishing with Marge, Karen and Maranda. Haha, we caught three fish! Then we went and bought a slip and slide, then used our slip and slide. Then we went bowling.

After bowling we had to take Maranda to her house in W'Loo, so me, Maranda and Karen rode in the back of Andrew's truck. It was awesome. Seriously, riding in the back of trucks is probably one of my favorite things to do. So on the way back, it was just me and Karen and so we laid down in the bed of the truck and stared up at the stars. (Which is really cool to do generally because the stars look like there not moving). And we started talking about how it's just weird to think about the universe and everything. Then we kind of got into a more religious aspect of it. Karen pointed out that it's so weird, how complexly made the universe is. It made me think about how seriously the whole "The earth is made by a sonic boom" theory, or whatever, doesn't make since. LIke really... how did the earth happen to form the perfect distance away from the sun and be the perfect size and have the things life needs for surviving. It just doesn't make since. The only logical answer I can think of is that there was a Creator...God. I kind of talked with her about that. Then we just talked about religion in general. Karen said how for her, it's so hard to understand that God made each of us individually and how he loves EACH of us. She shared some stories from Caravan when she went in 2008. She said that after that trip she was on a Jesus high pretty much. She was confident in her faith and what she believed in, then last summer, when Devon died it just all went down.

But anyway, so we continued talking, and I mentioned how I don't want to be the stereotypical "Christian Girl" I want to be different, I want to get out and DO something! And yeah, we just had a good conversation. Anyways though after we got back to CF, Andrew came and talked with us and he said he kind of had the same beliefs as Karen now. That kind of shocked me because I thought of Andrew always as a strong Christian and I looked up to him a lot in his faith and whatnot. Hah i used the word whatnot. But yeah, so If your reading this just say a quick little prayer for Andrew and Karen, ya know? I want to do something to help each of them grow in their faith, I just don't really know the next step is.

I think this bible verse pretty much sums up my night: "Now faith, is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see." -Hebrews 11:1

Yeah.. think about it.
