Ryder and his BFF...
Ryder and Mim (my mom)
I'll preface this by saying that I've never been known as one who researches and has all the facts straight. I usually speak before I think and don't mind expressing my opinions. If I'm totally off base here, or don't have my definition correct, please let me know. I have no intentions of offending anyone, but this topic happens to be may latest pet peave. Have you noticed how many people claim their religion as agnostic? I was looking on myspace one night and saw so many people with that in their profile. I asked a couple at church about it and they said that it means you neither confirm nor deny that God exists. The more I thought about it, it really irritated me that so many people are so spineless. I guess that I have more respect for an atheist because at least they will take a stand and believe whole heartedly in a position. Sounds like the idea of being agnostic is some mans genius way of saying "I don't want to acknowlege that God exists so that I have no guilt over my lifestyle, however, just in case he does exist I'm not atheist so I won't go to hell." That drives me crazy that people see Gods existance as being so insignificant that they are comfortable with sitting on a fence and not having to make any real decisions. Isn't that society in general these days? No-one wants to offend anyone else or be wrong about anything, so they take the middle ground and continously lean towards the side that makes them most comfortable at the time. Amazing the message that's being sent to the children of the world. As I said earlier, it just seems to be a very cowardly, spineless way to live...grow a set and take a stand. Whether you're right or wrong, at least you stood up for something that you believed in.
Okay, as Forrest Gump would say, "and that's all I have to say about that!" On a lighter note, Ryder had pictures made last week and they turned out really cute. He's really into horses thanks to Colt's side of the family, so we went with the western theme. Have a great weekend.

I love that you said..."grow a set" You make me laugh. We will have to talk about this sometime. It is frustrating!
Yes, I agree totally and have had many discussion with the majority of my family who claim it as well, sadly. When I ask for prayers in my family, other than my parents, I get "positive thoughts" sent my way instead. I am the wierdo by far in my family.
Also, LOVE all the pics of Ryder! Those are GREAT! What a handsome little dude. Hope your weekend is going well!
he will make a great cowboy! he's too cute. way to go out their and speak your mind. i agree with you and i wish we were not agnostic about other things as well.
this idea is taking over america and all that we stand (or used to stand) for.
I agree completely...I guess nathan would be agnostic...and well that pretty much follows suit! i hate stupid people.
I love the pics of Ryder! Especially the one w/ the shirt off! That is sooo cute!!
sure, you mean for every year y'all lost??????????????????
I love the horse pictures. Ryder is so handsome!
What a cutie! Great post,too. I agree totally. I also LOVE, LOVE, LOVE your picture of the Hillary sign.
You know the verse that says you are either hot or cold- we can't be lukewarm or we will be spit out. I think of that when I hear of agnostics. I think they choose that "religion" so they have no one to answer to- they make their own rules.
Ryder is quite the adorable cowboy! Those pictures are great! Also, I haven't tried your recipe yet, but I told Nate about the hammer and it better be good, or I won't get to use it again! :)
oh and by the way i love the one of him and maverick.
oh and i think your first post from m.f. past should be of the 50's show...hee, hee.
Hey Sue,
Her name is Debra Poindexter. She was one of my best friends from High School. I think she was the only one not from LCU in my wedding.
i, too, like the hillary sign...i used to like the name hillary, but now, notice how few there are born these days?! she's ruined it! :)
the pictures are great and your recipes sound delish~
Had fun with you the other night, hope you are feeling better.
I tagged you on my blog!
