no title

When some friends of ours decided to attend another church another friend made the comment that she was staying put at her current church until she died. I found out today that she will be leaving at the end of the church year to attend the same church that the first friends attend.
I briefly reminded her of this today, but told her where the Lord leads her to go, she has to follow. Also told her that it has been on my heart to seek out another place of worship, but leaving a place so familiar to me is so hard. She agreed. That's all.

Britney spears - UGH!!

Two of my co workers went to the Britney SPears concert on Monday. I made fun of them. One is a 37 year old guy and the other is a single gal in her late 20s. One of my friends asked me if told me she would go the concert if she could. She has never been to a concert. likes some of her music, and would like to see someone famous. I told her I wouldn't go under any circumstance. We got into a heated discussion about why I wouldn't go. One, I don't care for her. My friend asked me why I dont like her and I ranted off several reasons. Still she didn't see why I wouldn't go. Two, I don't like her music. So she asked me what kind of music I like. I told her I don't care for today's pop music and that I mostly listen to Christian music. Then she proceeded to criticize my choice in music. She was like all that Hallelujah doesn't appeal to me. I was like That's not what I listen to and why is it okay for you to bash what I listen to but I can't say that I don't like B Spears?
She asked me if I would go if it were free. Again, I told her no. She didn't get it. I proceeded to tell her that if I can avoid it, I won't support people, places, things, that I object to. She thought I would be the only person at work who wouldn't go. We polled some people. No one would pay or go out of their way to go and one would have to be paid a good chunk of money to go. I felt good expressing my principles and what I would do to back them up.
Would you go?
