The Best Snow Day Ever

I had the best day. Well, up until 7:00 PM tonight, but that's another story....ANYWAY.....I had the best day. I really needed today.

Today, we woke up to SNOW! Four inches of snow! YAHOO! School was cancelled!! I've been waiting for a good dumping, so we could go outside and play. We have a nice little sledding hill in our neighborhood, so we headed out about 9 AM. We have a saucer, a tobaggan and a little sled that looks like a shovel. I went down a couple of times, and then around the 5th time, I flipped off my saucer and hit the back of my head on the ground. That did not feel good. I was afraid to go again. But, I had a blast watching my kids go off jumps. I even hit a jump one time and caught some serious air. AWEsome. Here's some pics of Melanie and Ben sledding. Amanda stayed in bed too long to join in on the fun - party pooper!











At 1:00, I went to my speech class (my morning class was cancelled). It was the first day of speeches, and it was so good for me to go, because it took away my jitters. The teacher was so encouraging and made everyone so comfortable, I am feeling very confident about my speech tomorrow. I am well prepared and practiced up, so I think it's going to be a good thing....Another good thing is that I got an extra day (and maybe two, it if snows tonight!) to study for my A&P test!

We're supposed to get dumped on tonight while we're sleeping, so it looks like we'll be sledding again tomorrow.....Here's some pics I took of the snow in our yard....

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...
