Lots of pictures of my friends today! I miss them SO much!
Friday:
Friday was such a fun day at work! We had the wedding party that we had pulled dresses for earlier this week come in and try all the things we had pulled for them. There was five in the bridal party and then the bride. They where all such diverse girls but they all had something in common...acting. They spent their time talking about scripts and castings and movie openings. So cool and then they started talking about the rehearsal dinner! They are taking an open air bus around downtown L.A. and Hollywood to all kinds of famous landmarks and they are going to stop at each place and do like drinks at one place, appetizers at one, dinner at one, so on and so on. It sounded so cool. I want to be invited to this wedding! haha So Friday was a really fun day!
Saturday:
Saturday was kind of a wash out...literally. It rained alllll day. We where going to go to Descanso Gardens which is a big walk through of flowers and animals and stuff but by the time we got down there is was raining pretty steady so we just had lunch and of course shopped a little bit! We also had Daniel with us who is just now three so he kept us busy also. He lost his batman toy along the way and boy did we have a meltdown... so lesson learned always have a back up batman =)
Sunday:
Today we started the day by going to church. I was raised Catholic but the church my aunt attends is a non denominational. For the past weeks they have been talking about other types of religions ( Muslim, Islam, Christianity, Scientology, etc.) Today the lesson was on Catholicism...so I was ready for a fight because a lot of times the Catholic faith is slammed, but to my surprise he did a sermon on things the we can learn from the Catholic church! Now I am on of those girls who doesn't like a fight...especially if it comes to politics and religion. Don't get me wrong Ill stand up for religion on any day I just don't like when people have bad things to say about others choice of religion. My motto is sort of to each his own. I think as long as you know are a christian, believe in God and know that Jesus is the son of God then where or how you worship is your choice. Some people don't feel this way at all and that's fine I just don't think you should be judging the way someone chooses to worship...be proud they are worshiping and that they know God and spend your time praising not judging. I think that everyone should take a little time to explore all types of religions and see where they came from and how they started. The history fascinates me that and I think its amazing Roman Catholicism was one of if not the original church. In his sermon the pastor said that we Christians as a hole can learn three things from Catholicism 1. How Catholicism values the Bible...meaning (and I learned this today) that the original Roman Catholics preserved the Bible in its original word...nothing was changed and at one point some even lost their lives trying to protect that original word...very cool 2. The Catholic Church's value the sanctity of human life and 3. The Catholic Church's reverence in worship. So what I learned as that while we all have our own religious choices we should take into account all the others (Baptist, Protestant, Assembly of God, Church of Christ, etc.) before we jump to conclusions on how they do things or what they are all about. " We are not the only Christians but we are Christians only"...think about it! Have a great day!
