We're All In This Together: Introduction


Confession #1
This was a shower idea. You know what I’m talking about. The kind that just hits you while you’re washing and you can’t stop thinking about it. The kind that makes you jump out of the shower and run around the house looking for a piece of paper and a pen so you don’t forget it, completely disregarding how much water you are dripping on the floor while you write your thoughts down. (I’m pretty sure this very predicament is why Aqua Notes were invented, but I just can’t bring myself to spend $7 for 40 tiny sheets of paper.)

Confession #2
Jesus has a sense of humor. A good one. See although I am all female, there is something about girls that just annoy me. Don’t get me wrong, it’s not you as an individual I have a problem with, it’s just the species as a whole. I’ve found that most girls can’t stand the drama and cattiness that comes with a group of females, yet this trend remains. And although most girls feel this way, I feel it quite strongly. I never had many girl friends and, frankly, I like it that way. Yet in spite of all this, Jesus thought it best to give me a strangely strong connection to younger girls. Even beyond this, a burden for the spiritual education and teaching for girls. Geh. Yeah, He’s funning. Also “ironic” is the strange way that I relate to younger girls as well, which brings me to my next confession.

Confession #3
I love teeny-bopper media. Like a lot. Music, movies, tv shows, even the occasional stupid magazines. I could lie to you and tell you that I watch these shows or listen to this music to stay current with culture, and that’s how it started, but now I participate because I love it. Glee, Justin Beiber, The Jonas Brothers, even Wizards of Waverly Place. But none, I mean NONE, tops my book more than High School Musical. I simply can’t get enough of Troy and Gabriella. I know, I’m lame. But you know you love it too, so we’ll be lame together. (And let me say, if you don’t love it, you may want to consider finishing the introduction and then cease reading. I won’t be offended. Promise.)

Ok, so what am I getting at? I’m about to write a blog-devotional thing. Not based on High School Musical, but using the movie as a sort of spring board to talk about stuff. So that’s the plan. I’m pretty excited. That is my grand shower idea. What do you think? Worth while? Well, I’m going to start and see what happens. Let me know what you think, since, well, ya know, we’re all in this together :)
