Today was Day 4 of Recovery and I STILL had chipmunk cheeks! I went to big church with the family and I really enjoyed Patrick's sermon. He explained how Christianity isn't a religion or a set of rules- and if you live your life according to 'the rules' one of two things will happen: 1) You will become arrogant and think you are better than other people. 2) You will become fed up and burnt out. The Bible was never intended to be a set of rules to live by. Jesus wants us to give up our life and chase after Him- not the approval of our peers, not perfection, not worldly things. He makes it clear, "If you cling to your life, you will lose it; but if you give up your life for me, you will find it." -Matthew 10:39. This afternoon I went with the family to see Despicable Me! It is the new animated movie starring Steve Carell. We saw it in 3D and it was hilarious! But it makes me wonder, are all animated movies destined to be 3D one day? Anyways, the little pill shaped yellow guys were adorable and Steve Carell delivered a pretty decent Russian supervillian voice! It helped watching the movie with a theatre full of children- listening to them roar with laugher at the simplest jokes was very entertaining! Tonight I hung out with Brittany and Mark and we went on an adventure! There really isn't much to do in Sugar Land, so we roamed around Oyster Creek Park. That was VERY creepy- so we left almost instantly and headed to Wal-Mart. We played some crazy shopping games and did random things! Only the 3 of us would enjoy hanging out at Wal-Mart at 11 o'clock on a Sunday night!
