aileen knows i was debating over whether i should go to church today. well im so glad i did!

oh yes. i wanna help pay for your guitar girl! anything to further the kingdom =D

our church is catching on to the realm of the supernatural. han said that he was afraid of the whole speaking in tongues, uncontrollable crying and all sorts of weird things, but my reply was simply that if you're looking for religion, why would you want something that's so normal that it wouldn't even make you believe in a God that transcends this world we live in? doesnt the term religion bring to mind the realm of the supernatural? and anything that is out of this world is bound to be uncomfortable.

hence my discomfort tonight when some people started breaking out in high-pitched laughter. it kinda sounded like a witch cackling. just her way of laughing i guess. it's weird and all i know, but it just goes to show that there is something to the joy of the Lord.

a friend was so shocked that my church has female pastors. i was shocked that he was shocked. why not, really? true, paul said that women should keep quiet in church. something to that effect. but then again, when you think of all the outstanding women in the Bible, people like the prophetess Deborah who judged Israel, they were leaders and pastors in their own right. Women were never meant to be inferior to men, although by saying this I'm not advocating feminism. Women do have to submit to men, and their role is to be a helper to the man, who is a leader. But when there are so many men who fail to step up, step out, and take up leadership roles, women just have no choice but to be the ones who take responsibility. Plus, within the ranks of leadership there is hierarchy as well. Women will still be under men and in submission to them.

Looking at SA, my dad commented that our school is run by females. The principal and deputy principals, the president and vice-president of the student council, as well as the majority of the rest of the student council and house councils are females. where are the men?

and more importantly, WHERE IS THE MAN? I'VE BEEN WAITING ONLINE, HELLOOOOOO.

haha =D
