I'm still doing my Bible reading, I just haven't posted lately because I was starting to bore myself, so surely I was boring you! Anyway, I'm still enjoying the Bible reading very much. I'm in 1 Samuel right now. There was a very funny part (to me), where God told Samuel that Saul would be Israel's first king. So, when all the people were gathered together to present Saul, they couldn't find him because he was hiding under something. They pulled him out, and still announced: here is your new king! Everyone cheered. How funny is that?! Here, he was obviously hiding (he knew he was going to be announced as king), yet they still presented him with a big announcement and everyone was still excited. Didn't anyone ask: what kind of a king are we getting that hides under some baggage? What does this say for our future? Haha!!

On another note, I'm going through some stuff. Sometimes I feel like I have the tenacity of Simba on the Lion King, who says "HA HA HA HA! I laugh at the face of danger!" Other times I feel like panicky Pumbaa - a little beside myself. It's been day-by-day, and sometimes moment-by-moment. Would you please pray for me?

Thank you.

I am trying to catch up and get on track with where I should be in my Bible reading. Yikes! Going out of town threw me off, although, I just chose to get thrown off.

Will definitely be praying for you and your family, and for discernment as you go through whatever life has brought you. May His ever sufficient grace and joy surround you!

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...
