the lady who works at my dads shop today watched me pray for my lunch. afterwards she taught me the catholic way of praying for your meals. it is a prayer that you memorise and use it each time you eat... but i am really repelled by it, to be honest. i am really sad to see Jesus-believers stop thinking for themselves because the leadership at their church limits their growth with God. Don't they realise that humans aren;t just sheep to be led but people who need to think for themselves in order to have a relationship with the Living God!. If i memorised a prayer for my food i would sooner or later be numbed to my own prayer and thinking wouldnt be neccesary.Christianity is a thinking religion! that lady actually told me she is happy to catch the train from strathfield to bondi junction because she can complete her daily quota of hail marys to and fro. i was trying to tell her that if you read the bible from strathfield to bondi junction and back, you can complete the whole bible in one year. but she said i dont like to read the bible.
if you don't think, you dont change. imagine if the whole world didnt think or pass on knowledge. then nothing would survive. in the same way, if a church congregation don;t think or teach others to think, then they will not survive either. it is true that if you are the keeper of information and don't tell the world, you are witholding progress. i am really scared now!!!! i dont think i am ready to have become a cell leader. i don't know how to not-restrict growth (yet).

i dont usually listen to popular music but there is a song i have heard everytime i turn on the radio called "here without you" by 3 doors down- its stuck in my head!!! really, i can't get it out of my mind and i am going nuts. that song~!!! someone pray for me!! although i really do like that song very much I;m being corrupted by its secular philosophy.. i'm here without you baby!!! do'hh~~ >:(
