I am a processor. I am a thinker. I rarely react emotionally. If you know me, that last statement may make you laugh. When I’m being attacked, it takes a long time for me to get to the point wherein I will lash out or take action to defend myself. I grew up always tryingContinue reading “Charlottesville”

Unsettled
A question was asked today on Anne Jackson’s blog…would you die for someone’s freedom? My answer to this question is, I believe, the root of my unsettledness. I remember being seven years old, sitting on the olive green wool rug in my room when I first had a dream of being a missionary. I’veContinue reading “Unsettled”
Props to Belguim
I just read an article about scientology. Apparently Belgium thinks that the practices of scientology in its country are criminal. Yay for Belgium and Germany and other EU countries for standing up against this load of crap pseudo-religion. If only the US would get a spine and stand against criminal activity. *sigh*
Korean hostages released!
The south Korean hostages have all been freed! Thank God! I cannot wrap my head around the “why?” Why did South Korea agree to end all missionary activities to Afghanistan? Why did the Taliban agree to give them up after 43 days? Why did South Korea pulling their 200 troops out of Afghanistan solidify theContinue reading “Korean hostages released!”
We’re definitely not at war…whatever
If I hear one more bleeding heart liberal complain about the war in Iraq, Afghanistan, I’m going to blow my lid. I pity the fool who says anything in my presence. I am ticked off. Has anyone heard about the South Korean hostages, Christian aid workers, you know…helping the people of Afghanistan get much neededContinue reading “We’re definitely not at war…whatever”
Monday thought download
It looks like I’m gonna be taking classes this fall. For real. For seminary. Liberty University DLP MDiv. Lotsa letters. I honestly have no idea how this is going to work. It looks like, starting in September (you know, when classes get into full swing…) I’ll be working just about every Saturday. So I guessContinue reading “Monday thought download”
utter cuteness
Nick just told me that I’m not allowed to go to work tomorrow because he doesn’t want me to die. He heard Philadelphia call Killadelphia on the news.
VA Tech
Once again I find myself taking a few days to process something that is all over the news. It’s probably better that I take time rather than address these things immediately. One thing that strikes me is that I’ve not seen any reporting that speaks about the parents of the boy who committed the murders. Continue reading “VA Tech”
Ice, perspective and seminary
Looking out the window, the world looks so beautiful. Everything is so shiny…the light reflecting off of the trees would make a breathtaking photo. But, the reality of it is that when you step outside the door, NJ is a sheet of ice right now. Taking to the roads (and sidewalks) is very dangerous. AddContinue reading “Ice, perspective and seminary”
Lessons learned in a pediatricians’ office
My niece is sick, so Denette and I took her to the doctor’s office. Her original appointment was for 9PM, but we were called and asked to come in an hour early. So, we went in at 8, and were not seen until after 9PM. You see…my sister is habitually tardy. After we were waitingContinue reading “Lessons learned in a pediatricians’ office”
