Thank you God for tampons and monsters

This week it seemed like every time I was watching tv this commercial was on and it got me thinking. Its the "always" commercial about the girls in Africa when they are on their period and they don't have any pads or tampons so they have to miss a week of school and then they get behind and end up dropping out. When I saw this, first I thanked God for tampons and that they are available to me so I don't have to eventually drop out of school. Then I realized how spoiled this country and generation really is. Today in one of my classes I heard these girls talking and one girl was complaining about how she got her cell phone and ipod taken away by her parents because they caught her sneaking back in to the house drunk. Hearing this bugged me. While girls in Africa have to drop out of school because of something totally natural and unavoidable, we are here complaining about getting out cells and ipods taken away. From all of this I decided to thank God for two things other than him that I need to get through life. I'm thankful for monster energy drinks that make life bearable in the morning and tampons that make my blessing as a women livable.

Are You Ready?! Cuz We Are!

Dear Readers,
Well its the beginning of a brand new year,and Leana and I have decided to accept the challenge of stepping it up in 2008. Our goal for this blog was to spread the the fullness of what Purity is and take a stand on matters that defy this, in our generation. Although 2007 was a time of laying essential ground work, we plan to begin to commit ourselves more to the purpose of Purity and spreading the Gospel.

Some Things to Look Forward To:
*More Posts
-we are working on getting series of posts on purity from the point of view of a guy!
*Change in Format (we will be switching to WordPress, yeah WordPress!)
*Covering More Topics (Sex, Drugs, Rock N' Roll, + many more!)
*Videos ( we want you to see us in action!!)
*We have a Myspace Page! We need Friends!

A Meaningless Piece of Metal

What is the deal with Christians and purity/promise rings?! We seem to think that as long as we have THE ring we're good. It's just a ring! I'm pretty sure God is more concerned with whether we actually practice purity rather than us wearing a ring that says we do. But people seem to think a dinky little ring makes you holy, "You don't have to actually be pure as long as you have a ring." I know most people don't think or say this, but their actions scream it!
And the people that actually get the rings are the people who push the limits.......you know what limits I'm talking about, " it's okay if I do A-Y as long as we don't touch Z." No WAY!!! We are supposed to be honoring God with our bodies! You are probably reading this thinking," Purity rings are a good thing," or, "She has no idea what she is talking about." Well, I have a friend who just paid roughly $100 for her purity ring, she is a "christian", and is constantly looking for ways to get around actually having sex, but still have "fun." The intentions behind purity/promise rings were good, but the symbol has been exalted over what it represents. If any one is reading this and they have a purity ring, use it for something other then showing hypocrisy, practice what you claim to practice, and show God's light through your actions.
