No pipe cleaners please!

I was looking at other people's blogs and I came across a little Christian blog. Oh goody! I knew I wouldn't be surprised by the irrationality of this person. The woman was going on about how there should be other ways to teach kids about God without using crafts . Glitter glue and pipe cleaners are a poor way to teach kids. In the Christian womans blog there was a picture of a mother holding up a sign saying "No pipe cleaners please!" The goodly Christian quoted on the picture saying, " Good. At least somebody gets it."
What better way to teach about the Lord, then to abolish any little source of fun in Sunday school. Nothing says God is boring and he doesn't want you to have any fun, better then this. I'm sure more and more society will avert from being secular because of these bold protesters!

I remember as a kid sunday school was a real drag. You had to get up early and go to a second weirder school, Even though it was the weekend. It was always cold for some reason. You had to repeat things you didn't understand from the Bible. It was very boring. The only fun thing was gluing Jesus to stuff and making origami angels. Good harmless fun. My mom asked me when I was 7 if I wanted to go to sunday school and church anymore. I remember very clearly saying, the only thing I really liked about it was exchanging presents on Christmas and making crafts. My mom smiled and told the lady on the phone that I wouln't be going to church anymore. I've been a happy athiest ever since. :-)

HOBBIES

Have hobbies, not addictions. There are allot of young people my age, that don't know what the hell a hobby is. They think hobbies include: video games, drinking, gambling, marijuana, sex, bar hopping and shopping. Now I'm no square. Believe me I do all those things. But they can be destructive to your mind and your wallet. There is more to life. Having hobbies are productive. They make you more creative and intelligent. They can even make you money if you're good at them.

When I quit drugs I had to leave all my old friends behind. For a while I was really depressed and useless. Then I met a guy that recently quit the party life style as well. He made me realize that you don't have to do those things to fit in. You can be wholesome and accomplish more. Know I'm as happy as I was as a kid. I feel content because I'm doing things for myself and not other people. I work at home and it's so comfortable. I have a better relationship with my family.

If you feel stressed, have a bubble bath, light some candles and play soft music. Learn how to build models. Make crafts and sell them online. Learn haw to cook gourmet meals. Read about something that has always interested you! Be creative instead of waiting for something to happen.

People are too pressured into fitting into a mold when it comes to entertainment. Fitting into a mold is stressful and time consuming. You need time to think and feel and be a human being! We all need to live more wholsomly. Going out to bars and shopping has its kicks but not if that's your only entertainment. Make your own fun.

"The less you live the more you consume." "The more you live the more you love." Love people and life. Kind of corn filled I know. But it's TRUE!!
