2nd essay--2nd rough draft...made some changes.

So-called Sinners and Saints

A preacher stands before his congregation and announces that his divorce has been finalized. He asks to not be judged and admits the error of his ways. He says it simply didn’t work and the details are between him and God. Later he announces that he is not only newly divorced, but also he is now engaged to another woman. Does this surprise you? More than likely it does because this isn’t something people expect out of a man of God. However, Does this make him a bad person? Any less of a Christian?

A young woman and her fiancé go to church every Sunday. They also participate in weekday church events. The couple finds out they are expecting a child. This is not what you might expect from a churchgoing couple, right? Does this make them bad people? Are either of them any less of a Christian?

Another man goes to church. He reached some hard times in life and became strung out on methamphetamines. Through all this he remained in church. Now he has been saved and clean for 4 years. Does his past make him a bad person? Any less of a Christian?

To answer all the above questions: no. People often have the misconception that if a person is a die-hard Christian; going to church every chance, reading the bible, and preaching to others; then they have no sins. This isn’t true. In the bible it is said that everyone sins. “For all has sin and fall short of the glory of God and are justified freely by his grace and through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus” (Romans 3:23, KJV). This means no one is perfect, including the churchgoing Christians. Sinning does not necessarily make you a bad person. We are expected to sin: ask for forgiveness and our sins will be forgiven. So, churchgoers are not perfect and should not be expected to be.

Rain Rain Go Away

grrrr.  This rainy season needs to go away!  I work in a day care with school aged kids.  They have entirely too much energy to be kept in that classroom and I cant take them outside when the playground equipment is wet.  If the rain doesnt end soon, I'll lose my mind being stuck in that room with 21 energetic kids.  ugh.

About my first essay

     I have to say i do feel accomplished to have finally finished my final draft.  The biggest challenge i faced throughout wrinting my essay was trying to incorperate detail.  I'm not much for alot of detail when I'm writing.  I'm just ready to finish so I tend to write as simple as possible without actually meaning to. But, I forced myself to really spend more time on this essay and I think i have enough detail.

     As far as the comments from my peers, I appreciated the constructive criticism that was given to me.  It helped me alot.  Also, I think the fact that I know someone other than me and Aiken would be reading my essay made me work harder on it.  Also, in reading and commenting other's essays, I felt more at ease about the mistakes I was making because I was not the only person making the same mistakes. 

Never go to Canvas of Flesh

So, i got my labret pierced at canvas of flesh in byron.  Big mistake.  They are horrible.  My bar literally got stuck inside my hole and i had to go to beyond tabboo to get it out because kota at canvas wouldnt answer the phone.  turns out they didnt put a long enough ring in my lip to even work if it wasnt swollen.  They are idiots.  They also gave me horrible aftercare instruction.  Pretty much the told me to do the thing im not supposed to do and vice versa. And it took her a full 2 minuted to get the needle through.  Instead of stabbing it through, she pushed and stopped and pushed and stopped and pushed and stopped. I'll definitely be going to beyond tabboo for my next.

new car...i guess

well i got another car.  this one runs.  it just looks like crap.  i traded my older sister my broke down car for a car that runs pretty good so im not going to complain too much.  i was lucky she did me that favor.  but anyways the car is a 94 dodge shadow.  half of it it blue and the ther half is rust.  literally.  so far the cheapest ive found that i can get a paint job is $1500 because rust removal is such a pain.  So, if anyone out there actually reads this part of my blog.....if you know of anyplace i can get a paint job with rust removal for cheap please let me know! I dont want anything fancy...just one solid color is fine.
