In case you can't tell Penguins are my favorite animal of all time!!! lol, I think all in all I had 97 pictures and like 75 of them were of Penguins :)

Amazing Pictures!

Hey guys! So in case you didn't know my dream in life is to be a photographer and so I thought I would share some of my favorite pictures (taken by other people)
First though you should know that my two favorite photographers of all time are Ethan Luck and Jered Scott however my favorite picture of all time was taken my neither one of them. First off some Ethan Luck!

Those were all from the amazing Ethan Luck (and he has bunches that are waay better I just dont have them on my jump drive, but these are some of my favorites) Check him out at http://www.ethanluck.com/

Next Up Jered Scott!

Here are some more of my favorite pitures whose capturers are unknown!

That first one is of Mike from Tenth Avenue North.
Now real quick picture of the 3 most beautiful men to grace this earth ;)

That would be (top to bottom) Matthew Thiessen, Taylor Mathews, and Jake Abel.
ha-ha I have been "in love" with Matthew Thiessen for 4 years ha-ha.
Oh okay so my favorite picture of all time is.......

This picture was taken by Father Browne from the Titanic. I have no idea why this is my favorite picture of all time but it is. For me when I look at this picture I don't just see people in line, I see a story. I look at the guy in the middle and I instantly want to know everything about him, I want to know his story, where he's from, what he does, his thoughts, his words, I want to know everything. This is the picture that grapped me and didn't let go it will forever be my favorite picture! Now maybe sometime  can share some of my own stuff :)

Real Christianity

Okay so this blog is sparked my a comment I heard a girl in one of my classes made. We were discussing our weekends and I said something about church and she goes "Me and my aunt don't do church. You go out and do your *crap* and then you go to church one day a week and that makes you a good a person? No thats just *screwed* up and I don't go for that." Unfortunatly her statement is partially true because we have to many fakers and hypocrites in the church....but this isn't about that. It got me thinking...how do I represent my faith? I mean I see this girl everyday. Sure I don't drink, I don't party, I don't have sex, I don't do drugs, I don't cuss, I don't do all of that stuff so I mean that puts me ahead in the game right? Right. But other than what Im not doing what am I doing? Because yeah she's right to many people live sinful lives and misrepresent Jesus Christ and that is NOT what real Christianity is about! Real Christianity is about surrendering yourself to Christ and giving up sin and living for him everyday not just on Sunday! However those of us who are sold out have become defined by what we don't do instead of what we do do for Christ and we aren't reaching as many people as we should be and we're not standing up and saying hey those people are wrong! Don't base how you feel about Christ and church on them because they are just as lost as you. We probably just come across as good people that don't do anything at all. So I wanted this to be longer but it's short and sweet. For those of you who aren't Christians know that living life however you want and then going to church is not real Christianity and for those of you who are how about we quit being defined by what we don't do and start being defined by what we do do for Christ!
