Egg Beater

Well, I have no clue what this post is going to turn out to be, because I have no clue what I am going to write. I find writing, is very therapeutic. I am able to express what I think and feel easier writing them then I am at saying them. During the day a thousand ideas run through my brain on what I could write about, a thousand ideas run through my brain on what I believe. Yes that especially. And I don't know why, a ton of kids could write paragraph after paragraph, on shoes and their favorite singers and brands of clothing. People could write novels about girls chasing boys and having boyfriends and skipping class and smoking pot, and all sorts of things.

I could write about one sentence about clothes and how much I care about what I wear. I could write you one word about how much makeup I use in the mornings ( none). I could write you several sentences on some of my friends from school, or the church I go to ( Well probably more than that!). I could write you a couple sentences on the music I listen too. But when it comes to something I am really passionate about, I could write you a novel. When I am really into something I could go on and on about it. Like there was no tomorrow.

I could write you tons about religion. But many people don't ask teens in particular about religious things, and I don't know why. I think its because people don't think that we are that capable of thinking deeply about religion. And that makes me mad, because I think if you sit down with a teen, and talk, really talk about things, you would be very surprised by how much we really think and feel about religious stuff. I am tired of the religious boundaries we have, I am sick and tired of being told what to think. I am tired of people being scared about what they believe will be persecuted.

I am in no means trying to make me look like a saint, please don't think I am trying to make myself look good. I am just saying, and I am trying not to be negative- just because we are teens, does not mean we don't have feelings. It doesn't mean that we cant feel the weight of religion, and it doesn't mean that we don't take Jesus as seriously as the old man next to us in the pews. I am saying, we do feel the pain of the religious society, or at least I do. I want to be able to do all things at my church, I want to pass the communion trays and stand in front and give a blessing over the communion and read scripture. By not being able to it hurts, it really does. Because I am worth of value, I am just as good as a teen boy. I am a child of God.
