Recently....

Recently....I bought my husband an iPod Shuffle as a surprise. I thought it might make a cool Valentine's gift, but I couldn't wait. He's been talking about wanting to run a marathon this summer, and thought he might like an MP3 or something for running. So, I gave it to him in a little gift bag. His face was great when he opened it.....

Recently....I ordered two new books. One is called "The Shack" by William P. Young, and the other is called "So You Don't Want To Go To Church Anymore," by Jake Colsen (which is a pseudonym for two friends who wrote the book together). Both are Christian books that aren't too long, and they just sound awesome. I'll have to give my reviews on the blog when I get a chance to read them!!

Recently...was my son's 7th birthday. I think I began this blog with his 6th birthday! Wowie. Anyway, my mom came over for Grandparent's Day at his school the day before his birthday, and then spent the night. We went out to Chuck E. Cheese's for dinner to celebrate (my mom, me, Joe, the girls and my brother Joe). Afterwards, we played an awesome game of Cranium. Then, my mom and Joe decided to spend another night, so my mom and I had more time to dink around. We went down to "The Paper Muse," and spent some cash (well, I spent my Christmas gift certificate and my mom spent some cash). I got an awesome clear, stamp set with a bunch of swirls and flourishes as well as some new papers. It was one of those weekends, where you do a lot of stuff, stay up late and feel wiped out at the end. Good stuff. After they left Sunday morning, I got a little nap, and studied Anatomy and Physiology.

Recently....I took an Anatomy & Physiology quiz on the heart. We had to DRAW the 4 chambers , 4 vessel groups, the 4 valves and 4 layers. Then, we had to indicate the flow of blood in and out of the heart with colors (blue for deoxygenated blood, and red for oxygenated) and arrows. Somebody told me they saw my quiz in our teacher's stack, and I got 100%!!! YAY!!

Fun with the family, and your husband will love the music as he trains...trust me. And, you will love "The Shack." Why am I not surprised you probably got a 100 on your quiz?!?!

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...
