Going
I’m sorry my “grand” return hasn’t been all that grand but I’ve been quite super busy post end of College but that should finish soon! Whoop!
My question is though, is my return actually wanted? If so, what would you like me to blog about? Are people still visiting the site or has the [please insert insulting word] design put you guys off?
This is a quick blog as am just taking a couple of minutes to chill whilst I sip away on a lovely cup of coffee! Which does lead me with a question for you crazy Chrispy kids out there to ponder and answer in the comments dealy-o…is addiction wrong/sin? If it is, why is addiction to coffee, food, tv, shopping bantered about and is used for proper lol-ing and then for Chrispys to give it up for lent cos “that’s what Jesus wants” but yet addiction to self-harm, smoking, drinking etc really looked down upon as the unforgivable sins and disgusting habits! Is it the habit itself which makes addiction sin or is addiction sin? Gone on have a think and write your brain down in the comments, see what happens!
Also, it’s my Birthday a week tomorrow (26th of July) and I’ll be out of the country for it, my placement is taking young people away for an international youth camp type deal in Hungary (just outside Budapest) for a week…should be a bit of a laugh and fun holy times. But the scary thing is that I’ll be turning 23! I’m old and single and ugly and not that talented and still undecided on what I should do in life…i’m up poo creek at the mo…jokes
So, until I get back from Hungary on the 27th of July (which gives you loads of time to get me some proper ace, of the hook birthday present!) I’ll have to leave you…bye bye…

[dread] <- that’s my insulting word inserted. I’m so down wid da kids.
I don’t know that addiction is a sin, because you can be addicted to good things as well as harmful things. Maybe if the addiction is harmful to your body, or damaging to your relationship with God, or the thing your addicted to takes a higher priority in your life than God then maybe it is sin. I think what I’m trying to say is that addiction in itself its not definately sinful, but that the results of addiction is. I’m not sure that makes sense, or that I agree with what I’ve said, I’m still mulling it over.
Happy Birthday. I say that now in case I forget as I shall be away myself on the actual date itself. Oh and wait another 4 years and have those things still equally applicable in your life - then you’ll feel even more up poo creek!!
Hmm… I don’t think either of you are up poo creek. Maybe one of its tributaries, but you’ve got Jesus in the boat with you, and I reckon he could turn sewage into wine if he tried…
I was kidding about the tributaries bit.
I mean, I disagree, you’re not up poo creek. Oh, the internet sucks.
Hmmmmm…………….
interesting question…….
i think i agree with ruth about it taking priority but i don’t know about the sin bit…..
hmmmm
on the one hand, if you can’t live without the thing your addicted to then that mean your dependancy is no longer on God but on that thing so in that sense i guess it is a sin but on the other hand, (and though it may seem a bit extreme to put it like this) it’s an illness and in that aspect it is not a sin. Hmmmmmm…good question.
You’re gonna love ur bday present i’ve got you…though i wouldn’t flash it around camp too much…i’m so proud of myself (woops, pride is a sin…pants) i just hope no one else is gonna get it for you….Right, no body buy……oh wait….no.
Anyway. You’ll love it. Seriously though…nobody better get it or u bettr not already have it. I’ll b so cross.
Oh and do keep blogging…it gives me something to read on a dull day. And if you stop, hayley wont blogg and i’ll just get bored.
and if you’re stuck for something to blogg about you can blogg about me
don’t stop blogging gareth it keeps me sane
I hadn’t properly thought about the dependancy thing. Or about addiction as an illness. I’m not sure if addiciton is an illness or not, coz the things you get addicted to you choose whether to do/take/have in the first place. I wonder if describing it as an illness is something that gets done by people with an addiction so they can avoid any responsibilty being taken for it.
Bruv, keep blogging things that make me think, I like blogs like that. Also please blog funny things coz I like to laugh.
The thing about addictions is they make it easier for you to work out what to do with your spare time. For example, if you are a smoking addict, and you find you have a few spare minutes then you have a cigarette. If you are an alcoholic then you spend your afternoon off then you spend it inventing cocktails until you run out of ingredients and start eyeing up the meths.
Basically they are a time saving system for easy decisions making.
