Blue Days

at 04/20/05 6:33PM

Today a friend of mine had a book called the Blue Book. It was written with the intent to brighten someone's day when they are feeling down. To go along with the reading they had pictures of animals to correlate with the sayings or the sentences and it got me to thinking about how many people need lifts every now and then. Or just how many people want to feel loved and cared for. So, if you see someone having a blue day, understand their pain, and give them something to smile about! Love you all! �

I'm continually impressed by your insight, if I hadn't of met you before I would think that you were an old wise woman, well not necessarily old, but yeah, thanks for the advice.

MY friend

at 04/16/05 11:25PM

Ok, most of ya'll might remember her. Her name is Jamie Douglas and she has come to camp for the past two years. Well, tonight, she came over to tell us all that she was saved tonight. Now, she hasn't been baptized or anything, yet, but soon will be. Yet, she is baptist, and well, I don't get the whole process. I congradulated her, but I don't know. Any comments? Advice? Is she really my sister in Christ now?

Dishelveled and tired,
Lyndan

pray. i loveyou and tell your mom i love her too

just keep trying to be a very understanding and patient friend.

by kaceyatthebat at 04/17/05 1:23AM
Baptists as a whole believe that you have to accept Jesus and God into your heart as your savior, at that point they believe you are saved. They only do baptism as a sign that they have been saved. The Bible tells us that you must be baptized for the remission of your sins, and that baptism is not just a sign (I Pet 3:21), but it is our death with Jesus and resurection also (Romans 6). My friends at my school are Baptist and we've had many discussions about this. The best way to handle it is delicately, because for them it's the same as someone telling you you aren't saved when you believe you are with all your heart.

So patience as she suggested, and tact is going to be absolutely necessary, especially with her being a close friend. I'm praying for you and her.

by brandontherunningman at 04/19/05 10:04PM
thanks for the advice b rad

by alwaysmilin at 04/19/05 11:29PM
well, it might be time for a super Bible study with Jamie Lou...from people who truly truly love her...let me know if I can help!

So today, we had a kind of big game versus our biggest rivals. Even though there is no chance for us to be in the playoffs, we still needed to win. Well, to sum it all up, we ended up beating them, but that is not my point. I had a pretty bad game. I struck out twice. Grounded out once, and then finally got one hit. Defensively, I let in two runs because of bad throws and almost lost us the game. I was pretty upset. My mom even threatened to spank me in front of everyone (we went to Tyler's game after mine was over). I mean I almost cost us the GAME!!!

Well, Tyler got pulled out of the game because they were so far ahead, so I went to change and get everything from my athletic locker room. In the meantime, I was thinking about the choices I had just made. I know, a softball game is not the end of my life, it doesn't decide if I get to go to college or if I live longer or anything, but still. There were a lot of people that sawme cry and get angry and let such a little thing bother me. Most importantly, God saw me. I let Him down of all people. And lately, I have had a problem with seeing opportunities God presents me with, to be an example or to shine His light, well, yet again, I missed another one.

I feel pretty crummy. But, moral of the story being, don't sweat the petty stuff. I hope and pray that God will allow whomever reads this, to have open eyes, to not be blinded like I was and am. I love you all.

thank you for reminding us all of all the times that we too fail to take advantage of God's opportunities

by kaceyatthebat at 04/16/05 10:40AM
anytime, hey, you never told me what you needed to tell me! (reference:my blog comments on 4-3-05) what is it? I would love to hear from you

by alwaysmilin at 04/16/05 11:24PM
I know what you mean, that's kinda how I felt after district, messed up pretty bad. But it's good to see that you understood, how that situation could have been an opportunity. Most would have missed that, including myself. God bless you and guide you always.

by brandontherunningman at 04/19/05 9:57PM
and don't pet the sweaty stuff either...that could really be gross! My Lyndie bear, please remember, that it's ok to be angry or mad or show any kind of emotion. People saw you be passionate about something, there's nothing wrong with that. You push yourself and always want to do your best. You wouldn't be the super gal you are if you didn't give 110%. Just remember to take it easy on yourself! Ok...enough nagging...love you more than chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream!

Ok, so on Thursday, my band had a concert and sightreading contest for UIL. It was a two hour trip and so we got kind of bored, myself and Jamie Douglas (she went to camp if you remember), so we started to sing radom songs. But THEN she was like, "Lyndan, sing a camp song." So I did. And I happened to have an old camp song book and we just sang songs until we got there. How cool is that? I have never done that before. It was awesome, amazing, inspiring, whatever you would like to say. And I have prayed for a while that God touch her heart, she plays the piano in her church, so that is probably the only thing that stands in her way. Still, a pretty cool thing there.

Joke of the day: What do you call a Vatican City nomad? : )

cool! i love singing! ^I don't know. What?

by kaceyatthebat at 04/10/05 4:10PM
That is really cool, amazing indeed.

by brandontherunningman at 04/10/05 9:15PM

I can't wait for camp, but then I am kind of dreading it. I don't know. Because the last few times have been very draining, I suppose you can say...I don't know. But I am ready to sing and worship again with my brothers and sisters. Kacey, Hailey Morgan was here at church today and said to tell you hi. I like to rub it in that you and i are cabin mates. ; )

So what do you do when you know you should do something, but you can't seem to figure out how?? Get back to me on that one please! Good night!

Mom told me she got to meet Miss Morgan. And by the way, where is that girl? She needs to be on here too so that I can keep my eye on her. I can't wait for camp! I talked to Sheri the other day and we're soooo pumped. It's gonna get deep this year :) More on your question later--Ken wants to go to Blockbuster. Be back soon.

Here's a pleonast tip: click on peoples names on their comments to go to their pages. on the left of their page, you can click "add to friends list" and their name will be on your page on the left. then, when there's a new comment on their page, there will be a dot by their name. If they have posted something new, their name will be white. Cool?
