Wow! What an amazing day yesterday! I had so much fun. I went to Nashville to hear Nickle Creek in concert at the Rymans Auditorium. The best show I've ever been to! It was so amazing. They played for like 3 hours straight. I definately could have just sat there all night and listened to them. I love Nashville! It's the first place I've ever been where I was like, I would love to live here. It's an amazing place. It's a big city, but it still has a small town feel to it. The Concert wasn't over until 1:00 eastern time so I didn't get home until 5:00. We were all so exhausted. AJ drove from Nashville to Chattanooga, and I drove from there to Rome. It was crazy. Definately a night I will never forget! It was a much needed get away! I'm just sad it's over. Back to the old grind. Oh well, fun while it lasted!

Rush started this week. So far so good. We've got some good quality girls pledging this year. I'm excited to see what the rest of the week will hold.

I had a revelation today. These weeks come where they are so jam packed and so much studying has to be done that I'm so tired, stressed, and miserable. I have to deal with it no matter what so I choose to be happy and enjoy my week. Whatever it may hold. I would rather suffer through it happily than suffer through it misereably. God always seems to give me the grace to handle what it is that is required out of me.

My dad has been in the ministry a long time. As far back as I can remember. I'm very well aware of how churches are run and how to deal with people in the church, whether it be ministering to them or correcting them. I don't consider myself naive to the way things work in church either, but on occassion I let my guard down and trust certain people in the church more than I should. I know I shouldn't be surprised, but it still amazes me how cruel some people can be. I have no time for Christians who have all the appearance of holiness and don't treat others in love. We're so busy trying to bring the lost in and love them that apparantly people forget to love one another. Who wants to be a part of something that tears you down instead of build you up? Will people ever learn? No, I can answer that one myself. It just makes me sad. Even a little jaded. This is why you MUST not go to church for any other reason than for Jesus. He's all that counts. I have no time for man made religion, because it has no time for me. Jesus is always there for me, so it's for Him that I remain steadfast and never changing in my faith and adoration for Him!
