Current Aggravation

Well, I waited almost a week to read this. I was just too upset before.

I am so tired of men thinking they are God, determining salvation of people they hardly know, if at all. A few of those such men say that they don't believe that where one is baptized or who does the dunking matters, but they obviously think otherwise.
Where and by whom one is baptized does not matter. No where in the Bible says that it does. All that matters is the person believes and confesses that Christ is the Son of God, repents of their sins, and is baptized into the blood of Christ for the remission of that sin (and that to come).
As for said men, do they not believe in the Grace of God, that one gains at this baptism? Sure, you can't do anything you want, but if you strive to do right and learn from His Word.... God does not expect us to know everything when we are baptized. No one can.

I'm also tired of visiting "churches" that do not practice Bible teachings. So, I'm going to be worshipping at home with my husband.

That's how I've been lately. Frustrated. And lonely. No one my age at the church we were visiting has talked to me. And that's where I went for the two years after I moved here. At least my cat loves me. Oh yeah, and I'm sunburned, thanks to the long motorcycle ride on the 4th.

Well that was a lot of fun. Not only was I reading all kinds of boring stuff (TOS type stuff) instead of watching Smallville, but stupid MySpace said I was ineligible to register. What's with that??

Okay, ewwwwwwww. If you watched tonight's episode of Smallville, I think you know what I mean (45 minutes into it)...... Yay!!! Bo Duke!!! So good to see him again. :)

Anyway, back to the annoying stuff. Maybe this is a sign. I'm not supposed to have friends. For the most part, I don't talk to anyone. I don't know why. I think I'm a nice person, easy to get along with. I'm available, too. Yes, I'm married, but that's not the "available" I meant. I don't have a job--someone can call or email me at any time, just about. People from my past wouldn't have a hard time getting in touch with me if they took some initiative. My parents are listed, and I've left my phone number and address just about every time I've gone back to the Auburn CoC. I rarely get instant messages from people who I used to talk to. I can hardly keep "friends" I make online. Yeah... and my sister couldn't care less about me, but I really don't want to go there right now.

And how annoying are the Old Navy commercials (or at least the songs in them)?

Yeah, I guess people change and grow apart. I just wish everyone didn't grow away from me.

I can just about fry an egg on my face...

Or at least if feels that way. We had our second yard sale today (first was around September--and we actually had two ladies today who remembered us!). It was freezing cold so I tried to stay in the sun... and my face is red. Very red. Not quite "Did you paint your face for the [insert sporting event here]?" but enough that it (oh, and my ears) hurt right now. But it was worth it....
We made some extra cash even though we were just about giving stuff away, and we met some new people. Said they moved into the next subdivision three days ago, followed his parents down. They've got young kids, which I don't mind. Might be nice for a change, since I haven't done any babysitting since January or so. Good thing about being around kids when you're not babysitting is that they're most likely NOT sick. So anyway, the wife came earlier with her in-laws and said that he's into running Linux and all, and she brought him by later on. They actually stuck around for a while and talked. I'm so excited about the possibility of making a new friend. Maybe this time it'll stick. Probably not, but I'm hoping for the best.
So, best of all, we'll be getting rid of the rest of the pile in the garage on Friday. The National Kidney Foundation's truck is coming by that day, and all we have to do is have this out by 8am. Woo hoo! Yeah... had LOTS of clothes left. I really should comb through what's in my closet and get rid of more. I always wear the same stuff over and over, someone should have it that'll actually get some use out of it.
Mayfield's Birthday Cake Ice Cream is great. Steven and I ate the half gallon in less than a week.
I've been wanting to let someone know about my (meager) icon awards... so here are the banners:



(I made the icons that are within the banners, just to be clear.)

Okay, it feels late and I've done enough rambling.

just another gray day

Today has been alright... Finished a load of laundry and did another one (start to finish--yay!). Also ran the dishwasher. Got some icons made for some lj comms I'm in. So for the most part I've been sitting down. And Cusack (my 2 and a half-year-old) has been sitting in my lap almost the whole time. A couple of times I've put her on the couch so I can get up, and in the short time that I take to start getting up, she sits on my lap again. She's watching me type right now.
I'm so glad I have someone to share my day with.

Why am I still awake??

Well, Steven and I just got home from seeing the play Noises Off. It was quite funny, which is really what I needed. We've got the movie around here somewhere and might try to watch it this weekend (haven't ever seen it).

It was nice going to the theater again (for the second time in Charleston, and ever). But yeah, I'm way too tired to stay up for anything else. Just wanted to do this before I forgot.

First post

Well, there are enough people that I know from way back that I've decided to get a blog here (at least so I don't have to comment annonymously). So here I am.
