College hangover....

No, not THAT kind of hangover....an INFORMATION hangover! UGH...I had my first day of Spring Quarter yesterday....I had almost three hours of Biology plus a lab, then later on had a 2-hour, evening math class. Let's just say I think that math is going to be difficult this time around. Even the teacher said so....Great.

However, Biology is going to be fun. I love that kind of stuff anyway. The teacher formerly studied to become a Franciscan priest (so we know where he stands on evolution :) ). He said that he met and married his beautiful wife, so "having a beautiful wife and being a priest don't go together," were his words. I think that's kind of cute. Anyway, he is a marine biologist, so he tells lots of stories related to that - VERY interesting. I think the time will go by quickly in that class....

I made my family dinner before I left for math, but they ate it ALL, so I had cereal. How mean! Anyway, I think something might be wrong with the milk, because I felt really nauseous and had to go to bed early. I must have needed it, though, because I didn't get up until 8:30 this morning (almost 12 hours of sleep)! I still have his rotten cold that won't let go, so that's probably part of it.....

Well, my 12-year-old brother spent the night last night, so I'm going downstairs to make them all pancakes....Later today, I have computer class for TWO hours.....

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...
