| the skit
katie is readin the bible. she puts it down and starts pacing around the room.
satan: look at her. all confussed. trying to do whats right. trying to be a good little christian. lets see how strong she is when i start shaking things up. Dounbt! go over there and do your job.
doubt:my pleasure.{goes to katie} why are you reading this junk. it means nothing. how do you even know God is real? you've never seen him. they might have just made up this junk. people do lie. how do you know they aren't lying to you?
Katie: i was raised in church. this is real. just believe. just believe.
S: so she's still believes. maybe i need to use more of a convincing approach. peer pressure. go over there and do what you're best at.
P: katie...what are you doing. pacing around acting like this is real. what about your friends. they don't believe. almost no one does. so how do you know you're right. doesn't majority rule.
K: God please. prove you are real.
D: he doesn't care. he can't hear you. he's not real.
S: insecure.
K: you can hear me right God. you are real right?
I: he can't hear you and he doesn't care.all of this is a hoax. God laughs at you. he won't listen to you. no one cares about little ol katie. this stuff{picks up bible} is junk. {throws it down} why do you believe? b/c you were raised that way. big deal! why do you even bother? this stuff is worthless and anybody else that believes it is too.
K: i thought you were real God. i guess i was worng. why did i even bother with this junk.
S: guess it is time to do clean up.{walks over to katie.} katie...katie{lifts chin up} listen to me. {wipes tear from her eye.} why are you crying?
K: God has left me. he doesn't care
S: of course he doesn't. he thinks everybody is worthless. but i don't. thats why i left that place when i did.
K: you lived there?
S: of course. but God was a joke. if you follow me i will show you th truth. i will show you what is good and evil. i will open your eyes to things you could never imagine. all you have to do is follow me.
K: but what if God does care about me?
S: would a loving God make you go through all that pain. ignore your call for help. I came to your rescue. where is this so called loving God. if you ask me he just wanted to make you believe he cared. but in reality he really doesn't. don't you want to follow a God that cares for your well being?
K: i guess.
S: well i will be that God. all you have to do is bow down to me. pledge allegince to me.
K: i don't know. thats asking a lot...
S:{hateful} come on! {chuckles. softer tone} come on! it's easy just bow down and say my lord my God. is it really that difficult.
K: i guess not.
S: so katie, will you do it. pledge alligence to me.
K: {looks around. hestitant}
S: he's not coming. remember, he doesn't love you. he doesnt care.
K: [walks over to satan. slowly bows down} my savior my God.
S: there's a good girl. get up. come! follow me and i will show you wonders you have never seen before.
K: walks off with satan. turns around doesn't see him. walks off.}

P.P. : yeah Jesus. i must say it looks like you are losing this fight. {punches Jesus in the ribs} must hand it to you though. you do know how to keep quiet. {slaps Jesus in face. Jesus stumbles and slowly falls to the ground.}
I: look at him guys. he's pathtic. can't even get up. what's worng Jesus.{picks his head up} cat got your tounge. {throws head down}

| hey if anyone has a church they just absoultely love please tell me. looks like i might be looking for a new church again! no surprise there. i'm just so sick of everybody's crap at church and who's starting it.... church leaders. it drives me insane. this is the 2nd time i've got hurt by the church and i've had it! and we're performing next sunday, drama team, and we're not even sure if we can do it for the 11 if either service b/c the church is being idiots and if the beat is over 80, oh my goodness.... the whole reason why i'm mad right now is mom resigned along with everybody else that was teaching jams last night. that doesn't bug me but what does is why. some stupid lady who's husband is now a deacon started crap along with somebody else about the musical they were doing so the decided not to do it and resigned. i feel like its north bristol all over again. so granted my faith in any church right now is slim to none. i just don't want to fight anymore. i've done it once, gave church another shot and now i'm being shot down again along with all the other youth. i've just had it. good thing though is that me and mirranda are gonna start making a documentary on diffrent denominations so maybe then i'll find the church that is right for me. actually i have i just don't have the gas money to drive to morristown every week.

| Forgive, sounds good.
Forget, I'm not sure I could.
They say time heals everything,
But I'm still waiting
I'm through, with doubt,
There's nothing left for me to figure out,
I've paid a price, and i'll keep paying
I'm not ready to make nice,
I'm not ready to back down,
I'm still mad as hell
And I don't have time
To go round and round and round
It's too late to make it right
I probably wouldn't if I could
Cause I'm mad as hell
Can't bring myself to do what it is
You think I should
I know you said
Why can't you just get over it,
It turned my whole world around
and i kind of like it
I made by bed, and I sleep like a baby,
With no regrets and I don't mind saying,
It's a sad sad story
That a mother will teach her daughter
that she ought to hate a perfect stranger.
And how in the world
Can the words that I said
Send somebody so over the edge
That they'd write me a letter
Saying that I better shut up and sing
Or my life will be over
I'm not ready to make nice,
I'm not ready to back down,
I'm still mad as hell
And I don't have time
To go round and round and round
It's too late to make it right
I probably wouldn't if I could
Cause I'm mad as hell
Can't bring myself to do what it is
You think I should
I'm not ready to make nice,
I'm not ready to back down,
I'm still mad as hell
And I don't have time
To go round and round and round
It's too late to make it right
I probably wouldn't if I could
Cause I'm mad as hell
Can't bring myself to do what it is
You think I should
Forgive, sounds good.
Forget, I'm not sure I could.
They say time heals everything,
But I'm still waiting | | |
| o.k. so today is the 5th anviersary of 9/11. in rotc we were talking about it and all and how ppl want to forget about it. how ppl think we don't need this war. so i've come up with a poem.
don't you remember, on that fateful day
exactly what you were doing and wishing you were home
that day is so clear to all,yet many want forget
but if we forget, we forget about all the heroes on that day
the fallen, and brave, we forget one nation under God
because that is what really happened that day
we stood up as one nation under God
we dared them to attack again because we knew we would win
we became the most patriotic this country has even seen
we started loving again and put away the hate
we started becoming communties instead of issolations
we loved harder and dared to climb
the highest mountain in our life and succeded above and beyond expectitions.
this is what really happened. yet many want to forget.
why would you want to forget something like that.
yes a terrible thing happened
but a greater accomplishment came out of it in the end.
this is what really happened on that fateful day.

| o.k. so this is my skit idea place yada yada. anyway. i have a skit idea for matthew west song "get away" here are the lyrics
i just can't take it anymore. your tricks have fooled me for the last time. you know i've hads it up to here the way you bring me down you weck havoc on my world you're calling question to my sanity but i'm not gonna let you get the best of me not anymore,anymore so here we go watch me run a million miles under the sun that's what i'll do if that's what it takes to get away
i got get away i got get away i gotta get away i gotta get away
you try to steal away our kids you try to tear apart our families you bring your lies into our towns and watch our morals tumble down we are a city on the edge we are a world that needs a remedy but we're still the nation under God and it's time we take our stand
we gotta get away we gotta get away we gotta get away we gotta get away
give us your strength to run from evil lord, lead the way lead us to better day give us hope give us faith help us o lord to get away hear our cry everyday help us oh lord to get away
watch me run a million miles under the sun thats what i'll do if thats what it takes to get away
so my idea was thinking 1st verse... i have no idea. 2nd verse have parents fighting bridge do a kind of rifle team/ drill team. when we get our drill routine for ROTC i'll come up with some ideas for that. anyway this would be really cool to do for 8:30 service don't know how the 11:00 will take it. and defiantly for youth. actualy i would love to do it for youth 1st. so if u guys have any ideas to add to this that would be great!!! also if vince is willing i would love him to call the commands and all. i'll explain it when i have more ideas for the song. anyway. thats it for now.
