You've hear me rant about churches, pastors, and theologies. Now it's time to hear exactly why these pastors shoot themselves in foot when it comes to being the living presence of Christ in the world. They claim to be some of the best evangelists in the world, but it turns out they're not really evangelists... they're something else entirely. ( Read more... )

I searched Facebook for other Carolyns and found someone named Carolyn Croissant. I think it's hilarious. Wouldn't that be awful to always have to tell people, "Yeah, Croissant... like the food"?

 I'm awake again, restless and unable to sleep because of anxiety. I don't know where these worries come from. This needs to stop. At any rate, since the my Thursday will be spent recovering from First Night and having an 80's movie marathon open-house, I thought I may as well use this time to do my annual post. In my New Years posts, I recall last ( Read more... )

 Friday: didn't go shopping for Steve's Christmas presents- too sick to even leave the couch. Grateful choir practice was cancelled due to Nor'Easter Blizzard Part One.

Saturday: didn't go to Museum of Science with Steve like he asked, because I had to buy Christmas presents not bought on Friday. Got to choir @ historic Faneuil Hall, still no voice ( Read more... )
