You know what I'm thinking...

You know what I'm thinking.....I'm thinking there sure are a lot of people who check this blog daily, but only one person comments on a regular basis. And, I don't really talk to many people who say they read this blog. It brings up the question in my mind: is this just an anonymous way to be a voyeur into my life? Is this a way of knowing about me without really wanting to know me? Or, maybe it fulfills a need to hear something juicy to pass on to someone else?

Just thinking......

I feel the same way Jodi! But, then I remind myself I do a blog because I like to write. Whether other people read or not, doesn't matter so much to me.

Hope your day is going well!

I've had almost 1500 hits on my blog in the last 2 months, and my mom is about the only one who ever makes a comment. I haven't read your blog for a while, well over a month, due to travel and family visits. Heck, I don't even know you. But thanks for the all the stuff about church burnout. I've been going through that for a couple of years now, but was only able to name it and start reading about it after coming into contact with your blog. I never know if bloggers want to hear from total strangers, so I usually don't say anything. I will now, now that I know you don't mind. Please keep up the honesty. I have a hard time writing so honestly, and appreciate others who can do that, and do it well.

Rochelle, you made my day. It matters to me if anybody reads my blog. Thank you. I'm glad that the stuff on church burnout has helped you. That's kind of why I started the blog in the first place - for people needing to learn about that. I will pray for you. And, I will check our your blog, too! :)

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...
