My Spring Break

My Spring Break is almost over. My first day of Spring Quarter starts on the first day of my kids' Spring Break. Anyway, I didn't make the hydrangea wreaths, and I haven't made any cards. I started reading a recommended self-help book instead, which has left me rather raw and pensive. Then, I got sick. I have had the nastiest of head colds for the past 4-5 days. Thanks goodness for that nasal spray stuff that unstuffs you so you can sleep! I'm wishing I had one more week of Spring Break.....Now, wait. What am I telling myself? I still have a couple of more days. Maybe I can muster up some cards. I'll try, unless that damn book calls to me again, and I have to discover more things that are helpful, yet painful at the same time. Just when I think I've overcome so much, the Lord seems to start walking me down a new road of healing. However, it's kind of like facing surgery. It's a push-pull feeling. You know you have to do it for your overall well-being, but it's not going to be pleasant. He has reminded me that His Word is a "lamp for my feet and a light for my path...." Light the way, Lord...

Baptists vs. Pentecostals? What's the Deal?

So, what's the deal between Baptists and Pentecostals/Charismatics? Why is it that these two groups allow the non-essentials (non-essentials to salvation, that is) to divide them? I grew up in a conservative, Baptist church. Certain "things" that Pentecostals did, were basically mocked and considered "evil/of the devil." Raising hands during worship? Forget it. Praying in tongues? ABsolutely NOT. As a kid, I remember watching African-American church services on TV, and being mesmerized by their enthusiasm in worshipping God. I wanted to worship like that - to fully express my emotion and love toward the Lord with other believers. After all, I LOVED Him! He was my closest Friend since I was about four years old. I WANTED to express my love to Him. Frankly, I found my church growing up to be very BORING. Grab a hymnal. Stand up. Sing a song. Sit down. Yawn.... When I turned 18, I was invited by Joe's mom, to attend a Foursquare church where I lived. Now, havin...

It's Thanksgiving again - yay

I have become less fond of Thanksgiving the last ten years. First of all, me, Joe and our kids usually end up doing it alone. No big event. No warm, large, extended family gathering. We used to have them. And, sadly, we had more when we lived states away from our extended family, because we would always be invited to share the holiday with friends or families from church. I have tried to invite people over (who might not have a place to go), and create a gathering, but that has never worked out. I have tried something out of the norm, and went to Old Country Buffet. Read last year's entry about Thanksgiving, and you'll see what a fiasco THAT was. This year, Joe's parents are still living in another state, my side of the family is somewhat estranged etc., and no one has invited us to join their extended family gathering. I thought about going and serving a meal at a homeless shelter or something. It's still a thought, but we'll probably just be alone again. We do, ho...
