"Phobia" is a suffix meaning fear of. So I have a fear of Churches? No it's not like I faint when I see one. I just can't stand them, I can't stand the people. Now you're like: "Oh well it really doesn't matter. You shouldn't care because you go to glorify God not examine the interior." You know what? It does matter to a Church-o-Phobic. If one is to have their mind fully devoted to the Lord don't you think they should be somewhere comfortable where they feel at peace? YES!
What I wish for is more Cathedrals. Now I would gladly attend one of those as a Church. Cathredrals are honestly one of the most beautiful pieces of architechture I have seen. Way better then houses, hotels, movie theaters, and so on, they have such... I don't know the word but it's there! Now I realize most Cathedrals (well, not most... I assume all) are for cathlics. (dunno if I spelled that right)
This brings me to the point that we should make Christedrals. Not a bad idea eh? You'll see. When I turn 18, or however old you have to be to play the lottery I am going to win and build the most beautiful Christedral! The inside will be smoothed stone and there will be no gross carpets or any bad art work. I will hire the finest painters to decorate it with masterpieces of angels and saints. Sound's pretty nice doesn't it? Ah, and what about the outside? Well it would be fine stone with tall elegant pillars and amazing carvings. Lot's of swirly patterns. The path to the Christedral would be cobblestone, I love cobblestones so much you don't even know. There would also be fine shrubs and such on the sides of the path. Then around the side/back of my Christhedral there would be a mosiac garden and some places to eat. It would be an absoloutly fabulous place to be married. I don't think I'd want kids allowed. They are too noisy and make a mess... perhaps it could be part private school. Now those kind of kids are quite nice. A Christhedral/Christian Private School.
Oh it sounds positively fabulous. *happy sigh*
What do you all think of my "Christhedral"? Any architechs out there? No stealing my idea either! (c) THAT IS A COPYRIGHT SYMBOL SO HA!
I am an absoloute guinuis (i don't think i can even spell that... oh well.) I have invented the most superb place. No more Church-o-Phobia for me! I am free! I am free! YIPEE!
Well, I am looking forward to feedback on this subject but for now I am going to go day dream/lunch about my wonderful Christhedral and all the interesting things I shall do.

Your "Christhedral" sounds like a great idea Taylor. Good churches are definitely hard to come by these days.
Church buildings are nice to look at, but it makes no difference if the body of Christ is rotting from the inside-out.
You don't need a church building to have a relationship with God - He is with you always.
On a side note...
It's kinda creepy, but in Denver there is this beautiful Cathedral downtown which was turned into a night-club called "The Church" - Anyway, my husband always says that he wants to buy it someday and turn it back into a church and ultimately, I would like to run a Christian learning center for children who can't be home with their parents as well.
You have a good heart and a tender spirit, Taylor - No doubt God will use you for His glory!
XOXO
P.S. Stop by and check out this interview with my husband => If Your Mother is a Homosexual.
I think you'll really like it! ;>
Thanks Dani!
If I ever win the lottery and build my christhedral you must come visit. And if your husband ever buys "The Church" I'd like to check it out. :)
oh! i also listened to the show, even before you put it on there. it was ok but i don't get why your husband is like all afraid of homosexuals...
Taylor - I suppose you would have to attend one of the "Gay-Pride" parades to really understand why my husband felt so afraid of the homosexuals. Just imagine thousands and thousands of gender confused people prancing around the street half-naked, engaging in the most gross perversion, yelling, cussing and spitting on him along with making threats and acting out in violence, all while celebrating so-called "pride", "love" and "tolerance".
Well, they sure were NOT very loving and tolerant of the handful of Christians who were down there to offer hope in Christ and encourage them to leave that lifestyle. Nope - all you saw was sheer hatred and wickedness coming from the homosexual community. It truly was a freaky site to see.
My husband is no small guy who is easily intimidated, but this event really shocked him with fear and disgust which took several weeks to recover from.
I think even Deb would agree that this kind of thing is abnormal, foul and even scary. I doubt she would ever be caught dead at a gay pride parade (who knows?) marching down the street with those kind of homosexuals. I know for a fact that straight people don't do that, certainly not at a public parade where small children are present - that's just wrong!
Anyway - hope you are doing good!
Take Care!
I had a wierd dream I was at a gay pride parade... odd...
Ugh, I SO agree with Dani about the gay pride parades. Taylor--never attend one! Just for the sake of your sanity.
They DO prance around "PROUD" of their sexual aspects of their life----which in my opinion gives all homosexuals a bad name. Some take their clothes off, others are just plain vulger with a chip on their shoulder. They want to be so accepted in society, yet they don't want to accept straight people and continue marching down a street bashing them. And that's what it really is. A straight bashing fest. (In my opinion...)
And pride is a negative word in my eyes. Pride = to be proud. Aren't we supposed to humble ourselves?
Sorry- I know I got off topic here, but I read Dani's comment and had to say, "AMEN!!!"
Just remember Taylor, that it's a 'few' homosexuals that cuss and spit on people at stupid pride week parades that turn ignorant people into homophobics. They are not all like that.
