Good Morning

I woke up to the rolling thunder this morning. Kinda cool. I hope that means we'll have a cooler day. It's been so hot! I've had a wonderful couple of days, just relaxing with my husband and family, taking walks and chilling on our patio. The other night, we sat out and watched the stars, and looked for satellites. Mel and Joe (my brother who has been back with us for a couple more days), fell asleep outside and we let them sleep there. My Joe (the husband one) and I had a glass of Chardonnay and talked. It always feels good to me when we just stop the rat race, and chill together for no reason (like we're on vacation).....

I took my first Physics test yesterday, which I didn't do well on. It's an intro to Physics class, where I will work through three packets at my pace, and go into the school to take a test on each one. Not too bad, but Physics is hard. I can't believe I'm even doing this. Me! Physics! Anyway, this is the only class I have this summer, which is perfect. I can focus on my family and relax, so part of me could care less how well I do in this stupid class...

We're gearing up for our San Diego trip. I can't wait! We are so blessed to be able to fly our family places for free. We also got an airline discount for the Hilton! Our focus is Sea World this time, and we'll also be having lunch with some dear friends. It's going to be so fun!!

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...
