It's funny how the same people that tell us not to judge people for their lifestyle or who they are, are out there are criticizing celebrities and how that one looks fat or ugly in that dress, calling them this bad name and that and how they should do this or that. Dislike their singing, dislike their acting style, dislike the bad decisions they make. But a person is a person, whether they're a celebrity or a cashier at McDonald's. They have feelings. They have struggles.
They're just not allowed to show them, lest they be burned by the very people that say, "Do not judge." Really, if they're tearing down celebrities like that on a personal level, saying how ugly they are, calling them names...they're not going to stop at celebrities. And honestly, it makes the person doing the criticizing look bad.
Go ahead and give the argument that celebrities knew what they were getting into, that simply because they're celebrities they're up for criticism, and some of them are jerks...but tell me, how does that make it any less wrong or more right? I know many of the people that criticize celebrities aren't Christian, but did the Bible justify tearing people down if you didn't like them or if they were a jerk? No. A person is a person. I'm pretty sure if I had the opportunity to, I'd treat a celebrity with Christ-like love. Because that's what I'd want done towards me. Granted there are some that should be locked up in jail and aren't. God will take care of them. So there's no real reason that people out there should talk about celebrities like that. While celebrities might not hear everything about them, God does hear everything.
Feel free to just ignore this. I'm just thinking.

I don't wish to leave. I've grown to love this place in the short time I've been here. I'm afraid everything won't work out. Hopefully God will allow me to stay here.

I'm sure I sound like a broken record because of how many times I've been saying this lately... but I need prayer... please.. I don't know what to do anymore.
Don't run with them.
You can't leave, I can't afford to drive to Ohio.
Just an observation, many people who seem to be a happy go lucky person (class clown, comedian) are actually deeply hurting, troubled people who use that persona to hide/bury their pain.

Well, as an update to Pipp and Raines announcing i was sick, i seem to be better. Over the weekend i felt pretty bad but held off being seen til i felt more sure i needed to. Fortunately it was just a bug or maybe a little food poisoning. Or i don't know. But at any rate i'm back to my normal state of unhealth (unhealth? hmm).
It has been a very long day for me. I talked to my mom earlier, and she told me that my sister-in-law has been admitted into a hospital in Little Rock. She is 6 months pregnant and was having fluid building up. Specialists found a heart defect in baby Ellie and are talking about having to deliver her early. She is hooked to heart monitors, and they are trying to get some of the stuff off my sister-in-law so she can breathe easier. This is the kind of time I hate not living close to my family.
This is for several people here...
Psalm 23 King James Version (KJV)
1 The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.
2 He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.
3 He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.
4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.
5 Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.
6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever.
