I Know It's Not Just Me

I hate to say this...but is it just me, or is there something wrong when you're talking to a friend and she says, "You know, the only time I hear happines out of you regarding your church is when you're talking about the dance group." She went on to say that my church frustrates her [she goes to a different one]. She related how she feels that church should be a place you feel safe at...which is when I told her she sounded like my boyfriend [minus the delightful English accent of course].
And then an hour later...my friend who was recently kicked out of my church...almost but not quite invited me to her new one. By that, she just let me know when it started in the morning.
I have mixed feelings as this is the friend that told me she lied to me and didn't trust me and all that...so I don't know how we would get on being at the same church again.
But at the same time...I do know the people she know calls pastor and know that they're good and godly people. I think I would feel safe with them.
Ah, the thoughts that tumble in my head. I was working last night, helping one of the guys jog the newspapers as they flew off the press and I told him, "I've figured out the secret to jogging papers...it's not thinking about what you're doing." Which he agreed with. And then I said, "I just haven't been able to stop thinking about it yet." Cracked him up!!!
I once told Pastor Norm that half my problem was that I thought too much...and the other half being that I didn't think enough.
Oh ~ I'm not hurting quite as badly tonight, so maybe Gerry was right and my hands will get used to the work. Still thinking of going and seeing Doc and having him crack my back into shape. :)

Hi sweetie. You'll be in my prayers tonight. Hope it all works out! I sorta tagged you on my post. Heh.

That is so difficult, Ciera. A new church is right for you, but not the one that you've been invited to. It sounds like you're transferring your old problems to another place.

We all think a lot; it's part of life. I'm still concerned about those hands of yours.

Thanks Mimi...just sort of tagged me huh? Yeah yeah yeah...

Jean-Luc I know you are :)

As for the new church...I haven't made up my mind yet what to tell her. She invited me in last night and we talked for a while...ok, she talked, I listened...more needs to be said though before I would ever be able to go to the same church as her.

Might be time to shift continents not just churches. Your town is too small for you to get away from your difficulties there, Ciera.

Exile?

Exile...homecoming...??? Feels more like exile to me. Unless $1150 and some odd cents doesn't miraculously appear by March 2nd...I will have to move back in with my Mom. $585 is for rent, $565 is for my car. I only have $400---and that won't cover both let alone one! I don't know what else to do. I don't like it, but can see no other alternative. Where is my miracle??? Probably in the same place as my imaginary husband! Non-existant???? Lord?!?!?!

Ponderisms

This comes from an email from one of my many sisters. Some are just toooo funny!!! PONDERISMS 1.) I used to eat a lot of natural foods until I learned that most people die of natural causes. 2.) Gardening Rule: When weeding, the best way to make sure you are removing a weed and not a valuable plant is to pull on it. If it comes out of the ground easily, it is a valuable plant. 3.) The easiest way to find something lost around the house is to buy a replacement. 4.) Never take life seriously. Nobody gets out alive anyway. 5.) There are two kinds of pedestrians: the quick and the dead. 6.) Health nuts are going to feel stupid someday, lying in hospitals dying of nothing. 7.) Health is merely the slowest possible rate at which one can die. 8.) The only difference between a rut and a grave is the depth. 9.) Some people are like Slinkies. Not really good for anything, but you still can't help but smile when you see one tumble down the stairs. 10.) Have you noticed since everyone has a ca...
