April 9, 2011 Day 8.365
Oh, my word. BEST DAY OF MY LIFE SO FAR IN THE YEAR. This is what I've been missing by going to a Catholic church. Instead of a sermon that I can't relate to and one that I get nothing out of, Battle Cry focused on everyday struggles that people my age have and preaches to me about it. They talked about Pr0nz, FWB (Friends With Benefits), Sex, Homosexuality--things that I thought would never be mentioned in church!
To explain porn, or rather Pr0nz, BattleCry made a video that, again, used a "metaphor." The video was about zombies. How did this relate to porn? Well, if you become addicted to porn, it's almost like "you've become a zombie" as Ron Luce phrased it. I'll list the steps that went with the video. Sounds literal, but there's more to it. 1. Never go back to the original contamination site 2. Have a friend back you up 3. Never go out after dark 4. Never go near the zombies. Avoid contact! 5. If you are infected, tell someone immediately! 6. Always be prepared!
I'll explain the figurative language.
1. Don't go back to the porn website! 2. Have a friend you can trust 3. Not sure if 'm right, but I think this means don't put yourself in a position where you can be tempted 4. Don't hang out with people who look at porn 5. If you get addicted, tell the friend you trust to help you get out of it 6. Always be prepared to FLEE the situation.
Wow, I've joined so many things this weekend like the (Pr0nz) Zombie Resistance IBTC, or the Itty Bitty Titty Committee (This had nothing to do with BattleCry XD Just some random club out of the blue) Shotgun Ministry Etc....
Catch Phrases to Remember... FLEE- said when you or others are getting to intimate with each other. Or an act which you must follow when you are the one in the awkward situation. (LOL)
Normal is not Enough
"Cody! Cody! Cody! Simmer! Do you want a sad face, Cody?"- John Gray, oh you're so funny. "John Tipton. Ohh, that sounds like a white person who will scold his son like this, 'Cody! Cody! Cody! Simmer! Do you want a sad face, Cody?.' 'I dun wanna simmer mommy!' "
"This ain't you're bedroom! In fact, this is my other bedroom! You don't own anything, you hear me? In fact, you ain't even own those clothes you wear, you little naked boy!"- John Gray again XD
"No mom, no mom, no you! No you mom! No mom, because, because mom, no!"- John Gray again! My Big Black Brother is funny.
"Oh, look at her. She washes her clothes in de riber."- Filipino line XD "Jdo you hab my wa-shing rrock?"
There was a play, too, that stretched during the day. The Acts were divided into 3, one showing in the morning, afternoon, and night. It was about purity, and saving yourself for marriage. I want to follow that! I want to kiss, hold hands, have sex, do anything intimate ONLY AFTER I'VE MARRIED. Holding hands and hugging is a no no.
I feel wiser and stronger as a Christian after going to Battle Cry.
Memorable moments!: A Christian rap band was performing, and everyone was dancing! Well, not me because I was to busy watching white people dancing. White swag? Nonexistent. They were doing the Macarena to a rap song! And there was this group of white people blocking the aisle dancing and going crazy. But, hey, who can judge? They were having fun and that's all the mattered.
The wave, oh yes the wave! Starts in one side, and keeps going and going!
"We love Jesus, yes we do. We love Jesus, how bout you?" A competition between the two sides of the stadium. Who yelled it louder?
FREE HUGS! There was a guy from our church who had a sign that said "Free Hugs."
Newsboys! One of the best performances of the night! The drummer was strapped to his seat, and the platform he was on was lifted up and he was rotating in mid-air and still played along to the song. the singer's platform was lifted up high as well!
Conga line on the second level!
Wow, so many things happened, I just can't remember them all. This is a really fun event, and please, if anyone is reading this, go next time. It's called Acquire the Fire: Battle Cry.
My classmate almost went there. It's a shame he didn't!
After Battle Cry We rode in John Man's car! When going to Cat and Lena's house, he made a full circle in this road that was shaped like a circle. Normally, you were supposed to make a turn and leave the Circle of Fun, we went round and round. We had lots of fun teasing Lena about her Russian race. She teased back too, so no hurt "peelings."
While riding back home, John Man put a Michael "Bubbly" CD. I never noticed he had lisps, but when I was made aware of it, the girls in the car were focusing on hearing the lisps.
Can't wait til next year!
