so this past weekend there 15 people from my church got baptiset. Including my sister...
Our chruch was completely pack.. there where so many people.. cause events like this is always a good chance to bring other poeple to the church, mostly people who normally never go to church.
So there where a lot of my sisters friends.. :D

So it was really great.. my father was 1 of the persons who helpt baptiste the people.. and he made 1 mistake..

He baptiste a 17 year old girl but he said the wrong name ( he said the nam of her younger sister ) so that was a weird situation.. so she got baptised again... ( eventhough that was not neccecary.. )

THERE HE IS.... :D ( but not for long )

German cardinal elected new pope
Joseph Ratzinger will be Pope Benedict XVI
Tuesday, April 19, 2005 Posted: 1654 GMT (0054 HKT)

VATICAN CITY (CNN) -- Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger of Germany has been selected by the Roman Catholic church as the new pope.
Cardinal Jorge Arturo Medina Estevez of Chile made the announcement to a cheering crowd in St. Peter's Square.
Ratzinger, who took the name Benedict XVI, appeared on the balcony of the Vatican Basilica to greet the people and deliver his first papal blessing.
Earlier, white smoke rose from a Sistine Chapel chimney and bells rang Tuesday, signaling the selection of a new pope.
The crowd clapped and waved flags as the smoke began to billow over Vatican City about 5:50 p.m. (11:50 a.m. ET).
Suspense built as the throng waited for the symbolic ringing of bells, at which point the crowd broke into a roar of jubilation.
The conclave of 115 cardinals had voted three times previously -- once Monday night and twice Tuesday morning -- before selecting the new pope.
The cardinals' morning ballots were burned at about 11:50 a.m. (5:50 a.m. EDT).
Chemicals are added to the ballots to turn the smoke white or black.
Pope John Paul II, who died April 2 at age 84, had decreed that white smoke be accompanied by the ringing of bells, to avoid a repeat of the confusion after his election in 1978.
Ratzinger needed two-thirds of the votes to be selected.
Speculation rife
There has been a great deal of speculation about who may be chosen to succeed John Paul II, who died April 2 at the age of 84, but cardinals have been mum.
Some taking part in the conclave said they are looking for a leader who presents a hopeful vision, who can "generate some dynamism and some optimism within Catholicism," CNN Vatican analyst John Allen said.
The first clues to the process of finding a successor were sought during the homily or sermon delivered by Ratzinger at Monday's public Mass.
"Having a clear faith, based on the creed of the church, is often labeled today as a fundamentalism," Ratzinger said.
Allen said Ratzinger delivered a "very blunt" message for the church to "stay true to itself."
That was a strong indication that Ratzinger, 78, wants a "traditionalist" elected the next pope, Allen said.
John Paul was widely credited with extending the reach of the papacy. He spoke more than a dozen languages and set an unprecedented pattern of pastoral travel, drawing huge crowds all over the world.
He was also strictly traditional on issues of sexuality and the role of women in the church, which won him support among some Catholics but alienated others. Similar disagreement exists over the next pontiff's stances on issues such as birth control, stem cell research and the ordination of female priests.

Heaven of burning in HEll???

DOES THE POPE GO TO HEAVEN?

That's a question that is going throw my mind all day long, And I think that he is not going to heaven
I just have that feeling ( i know , its weird ) but the thing is:
You can only get to heaven if you are baptist ( or am i wrong? ) and in the catholic chruch they don't do that
( well , yes they do, but then you are a baby, so that doesn't count ) so doesnt that mean he doens't get into heaven.. cause if that doesn;t matter, then what is the point of being babtist??

If you then just leed an ok life, don't sin to much, you could get into heaven, then the whole point of jesus sacraficing him self was for nothing...

( CAN ANYONE JUST HELP ME GET A CORRECT ANSWER TO MY QUESTION?

noreply@blogspirit.com (Michael) — Tue, 29 Mar 2005 18:10:00 +0200

ok so i got there phone call from my pastor..

someone found theire way to my weblog,.. and as you may have read i asked myself why is erveryone against downloading.. but then why does my pastor has so many burners in his hous???

ok just let me make one thing clear..

IN THIS WEBLOG I JUST WRITE THINGS THAT COME TO MY MIND AT THAT TIME, AT THE TIME I FELT ATTACKT BY THE REST OF THE CHURCH BECAUS I HAD A DIFFRENT OPPINION ABOUT DOWNLOADING. AND THAT IS WHY I ASKED MYSELF THAT QUESTION...
( hope that this is enough)
I did NOT in any way try to put my pastor in a bad position, ofcouse i know that the reason he uses the burners to sell his studies to other people, in the hope that they learn from them..

It makes me sad, that some people just dont get the point of a weblog, it's all about letting of some steam !!

anyways, some1 printed out my story and showed him that, and i got a phone call from him....
I made him sound hypocritical or something like that.. .. hmmm
well anyways i'm just thinking about being less actif on the website.. and i am not goiing to visit church the next few(8) weeks anyway's ( due to tennis obligations )

somehow this makes me think of moby, i really don't know how..:

Why does my heart
Feel so bad?
Why does my soul
Feel so bad?

hmm, just a weird phone call,

it just makes me feel that i can't express myself anymore..

oh yes.. and to you.. who ever printed this article.. IT HAS COPYWRITE>> !!!!!!! ( lol )

Hmm,

So eaventhough I'm alway short of money i always find a way to buy the best things the cheapest way. It's time for me to buy a ''new '' sellphone from marktplaats aka ebay. So I decieded to go for the sonyericsson P800, I had the deal all raptup and the guy was gonna bring it to me 2morrow.
But then I found out ( just now ) that Sidekick II aka hiptop is gonna come to HOLLAND ! And that it is also available in Germany..
Ok,i straight on ebay.. and now I'm hoping to stay the highest bidder... The thing is, that on marktplaats if you place a bid on something.. you DONT have to buy it.. and i kinda forgot that on ebay you do, and so i have 5 auktions running.. ahahah:.. and just hoping ..that other peopler will bid more in 4 of the auctions :D

school is ABSOLUT drama this week:

On monday suddenly the pricipal said through the speakers, to go to the kantine. There we found out, that a student died on Sunday. Then suddenly every-1 got über depressed. People started to cry. The boy that died had cancer for the SECOND time, but that wasent even what killed him. He suffert from brain bleedings ( if that is correct english !! ?? ) and thats what killed him.
On Wednesday the police came and walked through the school afew times.
And today the Police cam with sirens, and then the ambulance came also... and again I saw people crying.. but I dont know what happend. The rumor has it, that an other boy died from a heartattack..

my oh my..
There is some kind of curse on my school.. I really need to pray to god..and please pray with me !!!

Spreaking of him anyways !!..

On wednesday we have got : hauskreis .. and that is like.. we come to gehter and then we talk about god, pray and sing.. and so on.. And my father is like the assistent.. and the person who leeds that, ask ME if i could preach in 2 weeks..
OK, it's not like i haven't done that before, but not for those ( lets just say: experienced christian ) I just preached at my teeniegroup..
and since I am only 17, and i have to preach to much older people.. I'm a bit worried..!

Ach well...

Me PRO God CON ??

My oh my

I think I might have upset some people.
@ the website from my church I opend a topic : Downloading.. theft or not?
And somehow I was the only 1.. who thougt that is wasn't theft and that it was allright..

Suddenly everyone was against me and writing:
God this and God that... God says: No steeling bla bla

There even was a guy who said that the day after he became a christian he:

got rid of: all his burnt cd's/dvd's 20 GB downloaded music and films.. deleted all downloaded software and went to the store and bought it new...

Just so that he could live in peace with god...
OK , I find that VERY had to believe..

Then I got an Email from some who is also on the Internet team ( i am 2 ) :

What I was thinking saying on the forum from the website that I thought that downloading was ok...
I was a memeber of the internet team and I representet the church and god..
and so on and so on aboud god bla bla..
That I could not experss my oppinion if it was different from the oppinion from the church ) becaus I was a memeber from the team ...

So my pastor also commented that he was against..and god doesn't allow it.. bla bla
but the funny thing is:

I was @ his house the other day and guess what he has:
3 pc with burners.. and not just any pc..

NO>>>>>> 1 pc WITHC 8 BUILD IN DVD BURNERS....( I wonder what he does with them?

So the end conclusion was: downloading was not allow from god..

yet the funny thing is:
on the internetpage from our website..
you can DOWNLOAD things like: the sunday sermons and LOT's of other stuff ( lol... how hypocritial )
