Kayaking Birthday

So, my birthday is coming up. I mentioned to Joe that I would like to go kayaking. He did some research, and found a sea kayak excursion trip, up and around the San Juan Islands. It is a full day tour, with a trained natualist guide. Since we will be going on the longer trip, we have a good chance of seeing some Orca whales, porpoises and otters! I am so excited! This is something I have always wanted to do. Afterwards, we're going to stay in a Bed and Breakfast. This is going to be awesome!

Sounds like a blast! Hope you have fun. Perhaps I shouldn't tell you my fear of a Orka surfacing underneath my kayak and knocking me out and then eating me. Nevermind, I won't tell you!

My husband just went kayaking this week with his team from work. He loved it! I'm looking forward to trying it soon too!

Can't wait to hear how your trip is.

I jokingly said to Joe that I hope we didn't get eaten by any whales. :)

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...
