Moving pains

I'm going to move some relevant stuff over from my four other journals. I'll backdate it all appropriately, but if it shows up on your f-list apologies in advance. I just want to chronicle better the spiritual journey in one place.
Deviathan goes back several years, and I used vahnia and mneme very heavily while they [...]

We are precious in his sight

The morning was interesting. I seemed to get thumbs up from the older kids, but I think I completely went over the heads of the preschoolers. That's the problem with being intellectually theistic. Oh, and one of the 7-yo kids hit me with a whopper. “Is that a TRUE story?” I betrayed myself by saying, [...]

Wow.

I've made more than $50 this month off amazon.com.
I think it defeats the purpose to spend it on books, but…

Storyteller.

I just wrote my first bible story.
I think I did a decent job of not overly undoing it. My strange hybridistic approach to theism doesn't always dance nicely with the Acts of the Apostles, even though it does a good job with the gospels. It's the story of Paul and Silas in the jail, and [...]

Grumble

I haven't the foggiest what's going on, but MSIE is totally crapping out on viewing comments right now. I thought it was just the browser at work, but it's happening here too==and here, I don't have four other browsers to choose from.
I think I'm going to have to change formats for a bit. Grumble.

Caffiene free

It's 1 p.m. and all I have had to drink today is a Capri Sun and 32
oz. of water.

Forward Day by Day

I've started getting my Forward Day by
Day subscription through email, and today's is more eerily on
target than my Breszny horoscope, which I posted via deviathan.
Psalm 74. You fixed all the boundaries of the earth; you made both
summer and winter.
I live in a part of the country notorious for its hot and humid
summers. We are used [...]

Dog days

Simon, our friend's fluffy corgi, is visiting for a few days. So if I talk about the Cody and Simon show, you'll know what I mean.
It was a little harrowing collecting the poor pup, however. Storms had come crashing through the area like a drunken giant, and although the power was fine across the street, [...]

Well.

Style 2 has the ability to add tags, but you can't do a damned thing with the layout. So I've taken the shutterbleed layout, previously the scythworks layout, and I'm going to turn into Buddhepiscopalia: Gallycat's Abbey of heretical left-wing evangelism. That way I can blogroll or technocrati or ringsurf all I want, something seriously [...]

no rest for the weary

Got my first midweek newsletter from the church.
In it, there's a note saying “The readings for next week, Sunday, July 24, are:”
Somehow, I think if I were to start a company called “GOT PROOF?”, I'd
have trouble marketing proofreading services to churches.
Neat blog of the day: Going Jesus.

Cult of helcat

From Rob Breszny:
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): There would be no apples if it weren't for the
bees that pollinate apple blossoms. Likewise, chocolate wouldn't exist
without the flies that pollinate the flowers of the cacao tree. In the
coming week, Libra, I encourage you to imagine you're analogous to those
bees and flies–a social [...]

Grow the spirit, stretch the legs…

Dean and I are going to take a Tai Chi class in Centreville this fall. 8 a.m. Saturdays.
So much for sleeping in. Sure, sure, I'd pretty much stopped doing that months ago, but still.

via kantrip!

a couple of weekends ago we finally got to meet .
I've only known him online for five years, so it was about damned
time!!!
He snapped a picture of us, though, and it's been a while. I'm kinda
blonde these days but hair is at a ridiculously awkward length, just
shy of shoulder length (that's why you haven't seen [...]

Fwd: Christian Alliance Needs Your Help

I could be cynical about this, but I wasn't when Howard Dean did the
same thing, and I think these folks have a genuine shot at connecting
to a lot of people in the middle who are starting to feel betrayed by
Bush. We need to reach out to them. All of them.
Dear Helen:
Thank you for your [...]
