Pretty much what I do now is when someone else brings up the topic, then I'll witness casually. Stealth-savior ;] Actually I find that my best witnessing is entirely accidental; I write scripture in my art journal a lot and I think people really like seeing that in jr__nal. I was surprised at how the internet can help you reach out to someone by accident. Yea, definitely difficult to side-step.

Go watch it. If you have no one to watch with (but I doubt it), I'll go witchu~*~* Hey Melanie, I absolutely get what you mean. That's one of the reasons why I've been kind of "closed" about it. I don't really talk one-on-one with people about Jesus, because I know that attached to that is the idea of those who are so careless about how they come off to other people, if that makes sense. But recently, I've been thinking about how me being able to tell people about Jesus because I love them seems more important than what they end up thinking of me. So, there. I have to think of ways to get that point across, though: that I am telling them not because I think they are wrong and want to win a debate, but because I do care about them. Thanks for the comment :) HEYA MARTIN. Go watch it. If you have no one to watch with (but I doubt it), I’ll go witchu~*~*

I mean, no spiritual parent wants their kid to miss out on eternal life. I think that's what a lot of non-believers don't understand about our faith and the way we practice it. Yes, there are those that are psycho/aggressive/ignorant, but for the most part, when a person tells you about Jesus, it means they care about you. Sorry about the rant, I've been thinking a lot lately about how to lovingly share the glory.

I meant: too much investment. It's so weird but I think I just go crazy when I overinvest in books (HP) and shows (VMars). I just noticed that it evolves (and this happened with both) into a scary obsession which I try, as much as possible, to avoid. But scary obsession be damned! I'm going to fall in love once again with Harry Potter. :) I think I phrased it wrong. I meant: too much investment.

And while I share some sentiments with you re: HBP, I have to say that I loved it SO much. SO MUCH. I had an epiphany last night while watching it. I haven't touched my HP set in YEARS. YEARS. Back in grade school, I would re-read them all the time and never get bored. But ever since entering high school, they've sat on my shelf, just biding their time. (Much like Voldy! Ah, see what I did there! HAHA) And now I know why. Growing up with the series, I was SO invested in the characters. In that world. Hogwarts, world of witchcraft and wizardry. I loved it, loved it like you wouldn't believe. And I stopped re-reading the books because I was so scared to get that invested. I've never been so into a literary series in my life. Last night reminded me that I miss it. So soon, very soon, I am going to get back into that world, starting with Book One. Thanks for letting me let that out here! :D ILU! I love this entry SO much.
