Child Sacrifice

Sacrifices of children and young virgins was a widespread practice among pagans. There were many gods, and those gods often changed with the times. The pagan world of today has its own god, post modernism, and whether people realize it or not, worshipers of this god are still sacrificing their children to please this deified ideal. Telling children, even in subtle ways, that there is no absolute truth, no right and wrong, equates sacrificing their souls and minds to the god of this age. Truth IS, and it must not be compromised . . . not for any one or any thing.

Life, It's complicated.

That familiar social networking site allows us to be "complicated" in our relationships. I would also like to add that my health is complicated, as is my job description since it constantly changes. My interests are also complicated. I don't know of much that isn't complicated. The Bible is most certainly complicated to me, but faith isn't, just believing in Jesus even when I don't always understand everything He says. Faith is believing the invisible, believing complicated things that God has said, so having faith isn't complicated.

A Bumsper Sticker of an Idea

Mr. M and I were recently on a road trip when it occurred to me that there is no website that will match you up with your soul mate according to your respective bumper stickers (or lack thereof.) I have my own personal and philosophical reasons for having NO bumper stickers (not even a Jesus fish-I'm strongly opposed), so I think a person's innermost values and character could be determined by their thoughts on bumper stickers. That's why I think lasting love might be founded on bumper sticker opinions.

Bridesmaid

I'm going to be a bridesmaid, and I'm so, so honored! I've never been asked to be a bridesmaid before. (I have been asked to be a stand-in for a missing bridesmaid about my size at a friend's wedding, but I've never been asked to be a bridesmaid.) I feel really honored.

Our Exciting Day

It was just another lazy summer day. Rufus was having his early morning nap, and I was waiting for my headache to subside. After some thought, I decided it would be best for me to go through the McDonald's drive-thru for an iced mocha. Rufus asked to go also, as it would be nice just to get out. So, we got in the car and headed out. I got my mocha, and we found a square inch of shade to park in while I indulged my want of caffeine. We then drove around town a little (to work off the afternoon treat), keeping an eye out for a shady park where Rufus could stretch his legs, smell some new smells, and leave some new marks. We took our time, and our patience was rewarded with something better than we expected-a dedicated, enclosed dog park. Rufus was freed from his leash, able to roam foot loose and fancy free. We were both so pleasantly surprised that we felt compelled to share our good fortune with you.
May this day hold a sweet surprise for you.

New Month, New Post

I feel like I should write an update for no other reason than that I can. As you may well be aware, it is a new month now (August.) I went to the beach yesterday. I don't go to the beach as often as I'd like, so when my friend called me yesterday morning to invite me to the beach, I dropped everything, threw some things in a bag (7 books, and a bottle of sunscreen, as an afterthought), and we headed toward Mexico. I brought my Bible, and Familyhood by Paul Reiser, and I also threw in Letters From a Nut by Ted L.Nancy, which I read aloud, but had to take several laughing breaks in between sentences. It was a lovely day, and I look forward to similar days in the future.
