If I could figure out how to make a new post I would probably post more often. I usually end up clicking some random button and bam! there is the new post page. 

I have really been thinking a lot lately about the way we live our lives. At work we have a new section for all the emergent church books. A lot of books I like are in that section, such as 'Starving Jesus' and Pete Gall's two books. I myself am not 'emergent' but i am also not 'not emergent'  I guess If I do not have a label I am not much of anything. If I wrote a book, where would it go in the Christian bookstore? Probably the bargain table. 

People don't like the emergent church because their lack of 'doctrine' and no-body likes 'regular christians' because their lack of compassion. There has to be a happy medium right? I guess I don't ever see why there has to be different labels for different kinds of christians. Don't we all worship the same God??

If I had to label myself, I guess I would be.... a compassionate, lazy, give my lunch to bums, singing hating, Jr high kid loving, pessimistic, betrayer of Jesus who has now found peace, hope, and forgiveness kind of christian.  I wonder if Family Christian Stores will ever make a section for people like me. Doubt it. 

I guess I will always be on the road of faith. Truth is, I don't like church very much. I guess that makes me a bad christian. I do love THE CHURCH. And I do love people. I am trying to be more active in my community. What is the point of having the good news, and what is the point of trying to love God, and love others as Jesus commanded if I don't know any 'others' [not including my love for LOST] 

I just, feel as if there is some part of my life missing. something that is just beyond my grasp. I hope to reach it soon.
