Visitor

Man - my life has seriously been in the fast lane these last couple of weeks. I have so many things I've been thinking about, that I want to post, but I have had NO time to do so! I'll try to catch up soon.....



Meanwhile, check out a little visitor we had in our yard today!!!





He is sleeping in an open bird feeder Melanie and I made for squirrels and large birds. I can't believe it's holding him up! Look how cute he is with his little head tucked under....






The poor guy just couldn't get comfy in his little bed. He tossed and turned all day. At one point, he stretched out his one arm and rested his chin on the top of the fence with the rest of his body in the feeder. Or, he would stick his hind leg straight out - with his toes stretching apart as he slept....He actually spent HOURS in this feeder. He was sleeping so soundly, he didn't even startle when I stomped my feet and called out "HEY! MR. RACCOON!!" I know. It was dorky.....Anyway, if he comes back tomorrow, we'll probably have to call animal control to relocate him, however.....I've heard raccoons are not good to have around the house - especially when we have a dog that would like to chase him....

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...
