anticipating

I am filled with a certain dread about this afternoon...finding out for sure if I've been reading certain things the right way. Well, in for a penny in for a pound.

On the bright side, I have a lunch with the headstart ladies later. And I just remembered that we're celebrating one of their birthdays, so now I have to find a b-day card for her! Thank God for the Dollar General Store and the $5 in my pocket so I can get her a nice one!

My library boss just ranted on for about half an hour about...I dunno...something about the rapture and communion and Simon Peter...I haven't got a clue half of what he was saying [I was trying to type an email!!]...he did say one thing that caught my attention so I had him repeat it so I made sure I heard him right. "obediance without love is performance and love without obediance is deception". I thought that was interesting since a lot of what has been plaguing my church is performance and such, a lack of unconditional love even. {Fluke, how did you like my reply to your last comment down below? :P }

Well, all that ranting and the boss says he's feeling better now and that he won't need me to work for him. Sheesh. How's that for gratitude?

You had a lot of messages in the last one.

The one about going to another church seems the most practical, as I've mentioned to you.

Ha! All those comments on the last one were a bit wild, to say the least, weren't they? I only had the heart to delete one of Fluke's "er, uhm, uh," comments......

Oh yeah...I'm not completely ignoring your last sentence...but then again...I am. I did read it. It's just not something I can handle right now.

Fluke---you have no idea! I can be a little spitfire if provoked long enough.





I think I got good news this afternoon. ok, it was good news. I just don't know where we go from here.


I have to go delete a few more of Flukesters eruhmuhs. I'm gonna leave the vanilla ones though.

Weekenders!!!

It's that time again. For Michele's weekend Meet-n-Greet. Some frown, but others gleefully play. Here's a question for all who visit here, whether on your own or from Michele's: Last night during a prayer meeting, I had a memory flash through my mind. More like the shadow of the memory. I was five years old or younger and I was begging my father for a peanut butter cake. I really wanted one, and even though I was interupting the adult conversation and probably being a regular brat...my Dad quit what he was doing to search for a recipe for a peanut butter cake...uhm, I don't think he ever found one so he made me a chocolate one with peanut butter frosting. This is probably the best memory I have of my father. So - what is your favorite childhood memory?????

A Situation

Ok. I need to think out loud here for a bit while I wait on email. I have a situation going on that could become tough. A bit of background: About 2 years ago, a single man started coming to my church and showed an interest in me. It lasted about a month and a half, with him giving me mixed signals all the time...since I have been praying for a husband for a while now, at the time, it seemed like my prayers were being answered despite the confusion. It all came down one night about midnight in his parking lot and I haven't talked to him since. He only stayed around for another 7-8 months, and those were very hard months. He lied to me and mislead me, often. Like it was second nature for him. It was made even more traumatic by a discovery of mine on a website shortly after he left the area. In September 2005, I had a blind date that was far from fruitful. My singleness and desire to be married is known to all in church, and so... To the present: Yes, another single man has walked in...

Shock and Awe

It is a strange thing. How someone can say, "I'm sorry, please forgive me" and still manage to correct you all at once...it is truly amazing to me. I was shocked that this person actually admitted to being wrong, and at the same time, I was ashamed for wanting it. But it got me to thinking. About Repentance and Forgiveness...how once they have happened...there is healing and restoration. I haven't completely researched it yet, but the verses I've peaked at in James make me think I'm not far off. I wonder, just as one person sinning can spoil others...can one person repenting turn others to repentance? Hmm.... Of course, as in any relationship situation...it helps to know the whole story. Why do we do that, I wonder? Close up and not share what is going on, I mean. I know that sometimes, there are things that hurt too deep to share right away. It is frustrating. Thanksgiving looks to be a dismal day so far. I'm not about ready to invite myself to any...
