Being Busy

Hi to everyone. First I want to apologize to anyone that I haven't been trying to be in touch with more. I feel like I've been running on some unknown energy source and then crashing down. No, it's not drugs although that kinda sounds a bit too close to what happens when a person takes meth. Yikes! I think that energy source is that I'm trying to find myself in all the messes I've created and trying to uncover that person. I think that meant that starting during the Memorial Day weekend, I just kinda lost all focus. I needed alone time galore when I got home. I'd hang out with Kristin, but I'd go into my room a lot and just sit with things. I would talk to people on occasion, but usually I could be found sitting either with Kristin and My-key listening or in my room listening to music, movies, or Adventures in Odyssey.

I went to another seminar this weekend. It was about being a woman who is powerful. It did make me see things from a different perspective. I learned about how to receive things or compliments. Stupid homophones. I can't remember if that one's compliments or complements. JAWS users, one has an e after the l and one has an i. It was very helpful. I am working on being more A communicative and b committed to what I'm saying. That's another topic that we learned about in the context of setting boundaries for ourselves.

That's about it on the update. Now I have a question/concern. Sunday I was listening to Odyssey. I love there programs, but one episode made me almost get angry. It was one of the episodes where the main character Mr. Whitaker, was using a radio station to broadcast a Bible lesson. He told the story of these two guys: Simon and Sunny. It started out with Sunny stealing candy from a vending machine. After that, he grew up stealing stuff from stores, cars, and all kinds of stuff. He was a mob boss and things like that. He ended up dying in prison and went to Hell. Okay fine. Simon was always made fun of for being so honest. He always toldthe truth and worked to help people. He founded some reputable charity organization. He served in Congress. He was running for president when he was hit by a car. When they showed where he was, he was the roommate of the mobster. Why? Because he didn't accept Jesus as the only way. He said when asked, "I believe in God, but there is room in my heart and my campaign for all faiths." Now I won't speak to the belief itself. What I will say is why on earth would someone teach that to little kids? I know it's just a show, but I felt like it could have major adverse effects on little kids listening. This would mean Gandhi would go to Hell. I don't believe that, but I can't say anything about anyone else. It's not my place. I've talked to a few people about this, but I want clarification of why little kids would be learning this. For me, I'm concerned that it would be fostering hatred among Christian children, and I know that's not what Christ, or most Christians, want. Please explain.

Well, it's time for me to sign off. Thanks for listening to my rambling. Take care.
