the ragamuffin gospel and today

Well, i am reading The Ragamuffin Gospel and so far i enjoy it very much.....since i have my own copy of it, i underline certain points in the book...which is good for me, that way i can go back and look what i underlined and its easier for me to understand, i think anyways.......in the first chapter i found a few things that was really interesting, such as...........
-"The institutional church has become a wounder of the healers rather than a healer of the wounders."
-"Too many Christians are living in the house of fear and not in the house of love."
-Psalm 123, "As the eyes of the servant are on the hands of his master, as the eyes of a maid are on the hands of her mistress," we experince a vague sense of existential guilt. Our eyes are NOT on God. We believe that we can pull ourselves up by out bootstraps-indeed, we can do it ourselves.-----------we can do it but we cant pull ourselves up all of the way without God's help.
-"Sooner or later we are confronted with the painful truth of our inadequacy and insufficiency. Our sercurity is shattered and our bootstraps are cut."
-"We discover our inability to add even a single inch to our spiritual staure."
Theres so much more to this but its too much to write. Chapter One was good but every chapter, i think, is getting better......

This afternoon i was at the church shooting basketball for like 3 hours or so cuz i didnt work today, i was outside all day, the weather was awesome, since i was outside all day i got sun burn on my arms and a little on my face, yea thats odd, lol.....then i came home a washed my car and then i washed my papa's truck.....i wasnt feeling well at all today, woke up with a sore throat, it hurts for me to swollow right now, stuffy nose and my ears needed to pop this morning when i woke up, it wasnt good at all.

I'm gonna donate blood on thursday at the church, this will be my second time this year and my third time giving blood, once last year and this year was in Feburary. I excited. I love helping out any way possible and its good to donate blood cuz it takes all of ur "old" blood, that way ur heart can produce "clean" blood. It feels great afterwards, well i think anyways.

tomorrows gonna be another nice day, cant wait!!
