Hope in 2009 & maybe even Change...

Today at the beginning of a year, a new year, I thought of HOPE and even thought of the word CHANGE. Times in our world are, how shall I put it, shaky and unknown. What a time to cling desperately and unashamedly to the HOPE we, as believers, have. Hope for a world that maybe, just maybe, will have a revolution of world-changers from your generation to stand up and stand on the TRUTH of Jesus Christ. To know of His amazing grace and live life boldly amazed at that grace in our lives.

Just some random thoughts for today...

The Secret Life of the American Teenager...

Okay, I might be risking opening myself (and this blog) to some major hate/angry comments. But prayerfully, I'm not. I guess I have been hearing a buzz about this show from A LOT of kampers, my audience for this blog. So last night I was flipping through the channels while doing the elliptical machine (love those things, it's like running without the hatred of running that I have) and came across ABC Family. It was on so I watched it. I don't have an opinion (yet) and not even sure what the message the writers/producers/Hollywood person is trying to convey. I don't even really understand the title of the show.

So I would love some help...is this show popular? What are the messages in it? Just would love to hear what you think...(please, oh, please, no crazy/mean/all fired up messages)...thanks for any help kampers, moms, dads, or random people that come to this site...

just trying to stay trendy with teens,
