For Rachel

Those who believe they believe in God, but without passion in the heart, without anguish of mind, without uncertainty, without doubt, and even at times without despair, believe only in the idea of God, and not in God Himself.

Question: where are you Shane? No rants about another holiday for the sheep? Particularly a Christian holiday? I would have thought the temptation would have been impossible to resist!;) Seriously, though, I tried to go to your blog site and it gave me the dreaded words 'url not found.' Please tell me you haven't dismantled permanently....lie if you have to! I need at least one dose of anger a day!

How High

I have never liked the sensation of being out of control. That is one of the reasons that during my lifetime I only smoked weed for like 2 weeks and put it away. (This was 15 years ago when I was still young;)) I just didn't like the sensation of not being myself, of not being completely in control of my mind. Plus there was that whole incident when I didn't know where I was in my own living room that time. (but that is another story for another day)

Anyway, the upshot of this is that I do not like being high. At all. Well, yesterday morning I got high...the legal way. In the hospital. When I was in pre-op, they started the little I.V. with some antibiotics and stuff in it. Then, they added a "little something to help me rest." Ummm, hello, but aren't you guys about to knock me out in a few minutes? Isn't that rest enough?

So, they roll me to the operating room and have me get on the little (yes, little) table stick my arms out like "take me now" and one of the guys tells me he is going to give me some anti-nausea meds. Okay, so this stuff gets my ears ringing and my heart pounding and my head is not together because they have already gotten me high with their "little something to help me rest" meds. So, I'm laying there totally freaked out and they tell me to "relax and breathe". Oh, yeah? YOU relax and breathe Bubba! (And yes, I actually said this to the guy so I may be missing more than a gallbladder now, who knows;))

The next thing Iknow I am waking up in recovery so whacked out I can't even say my name. The operation itself was over by 10 a.m. but courtesy of legal drugs, I couldn't even get up to pee until 2 p.m., at which point I politely told my nurse that I was getting the heck out of there.

They discharged me, we left and went to pick up the kids and Grover half-carried me into the house along with getting the kids in as well. (What a Superman!!) And even though I was still (am still) in a lot of pain, by that point most of the drugs had worn off and here I am, alive and kicking (well, not actually kicking but at least sitting) .....much to some people's dismay;).

Thanks to all for your good wishes and prayers. It has been most appreciated.

The "G" Word

Unless you assume a God, the question of life's purpose is meaningless.- Bertrand Russell, atheist

I learned years ago never to argue with an atheist. It is an unwinnable argument. I will never convince them and they will never convince me. Usually, it suffices for me to say that I am an active Christian and let it go at that. However, yesterday I was asked about my thoughts on God and Jesus and so here goes. This is a small part of my story.

I was raised by a devout Christian mother and a drunken abusive father. (He had been a Christian himself at one point in his life but that is another story for another day.) So, my mother kept me in the church. Sunday school, Wednesday night services, Saturday Bible study, Tuesday night prayer meeting, Monday night missionary group....well, you get the picture. And as a kid, I thought most of it was okay but so boooring. I was neither old enough nor mature enough to "get it." And of course, during my high school years, there were too many distractions to truly give it much thought. I was just simply trying to survive.

From the ages of 18-28, I went on a journey...a spiritual journey. I was unhappy. I mean, I had a man, money, a house, a car...all the crap that is supposed to mean something but really doesn't. I was still lonely and miserable. So I was seeking something of greater meaning because I thought "there has got to be more than this." I studied everything I could find......Buddhism, Hinduism, reincarnation, astrology, tasseology, phrenology, numerology, tarot reading, runes....you name it and I have studied it and can hold forth at length on it. All the while my mother would talk to me about God and salvation. I would listen politely, all the time thinking "The concept is too simple and the lifestyle is too hard. I would have to give up too much." And so my life continued to spiral downward.

One night, out of sheer desperation, I decided to talk to God. (Now bear in mind, I had never stopped believing in Him, I just didn't have much to say to Him up until that point.) And I told Him "Listen, I don't know if You will pay any attention to me, but I know that I have nowhere else to go. I've tried evrything else and it's not working. I know that the Bible says that if I call on the name of the Lord Jesus, I shall be saved. So I'm calling." At the point that I did that, part of me was afraid I would drop dead on the spot. Another part of me was hoping that I would. Well, 8 years later I am still here (much to a lot of people's dismay;))

I would love to be able to say that from that night on my life became peaches and cream and a bed of roses. It did not. Within 6 months of being 'born again' (that's what we call it in these parts;)), my father died, my house burned down, I lost everything I owned in that fire and my 2 year old daughter (Joshua's sister) died in that fire as well. I truly think that if I had not called on God 6 months before that, that I would be in a mental institution today. Well, here I am 8 years later and still sane (for the most part.)

And life goes on.

All I know is that on that day that I called on God, I became a new creature, totally different than the one I was before. God spoke to me (no, not over the phone smart alecks) in my heart and in my spirit and I have never been the same.

I realize that this story will not make sense to a lot of people, much less make any difference in their day. That is quite alright. I am simply telling the story as it happened to me. It may sound crazy but I lived it.

Oh, yeah, do I believe that Jesus is the Messiah? Yes I do. The logic of this is pretty simple: If I believe in God (and I do), then I believe that the Bible (what we have left of it that has not been butchered through the centuries) is the living Word of God (and I do) then it simply follows that Jesus is the Messiah because God said so. That, plus I have spent many days talking to Jesus too. And He answers as well.

And I think I have said enough.

Aggravatin' Situations

Okay, I am posting in orange today because I think it is one of the ugliest colors ever created and I am aggravated, agitated, irritated and so on and so on.

So, I was supposed to have surgery on the 18th to remove my gallbladder due to these really icky stones I have developed. Well, went to the doctor's office at 845 a.m. and he told me to head over to the hospital (to the outpatient admitting area). I get there and find out that my appointment for surgery isn't until 4! Okay, so they tell me to come back at 2 for pre-op, which I do. (I am very anal about time by the way.) Well, 4 comes and goes and about 5 we ask the nurse when they are going to be getting to me, because the IV and support hose and crap they have me in is getting a wee bit uncomfortable. They say that it will "be a while." So, at 7 O'CLOCK we ask again and we are told that it will be "a couple of more hours." No, it won't. I told them to send word to the doctor that I was going home and that I would call on Monday to reschedule. Maybe they can get it right next time.

So, I get home and spend allllll weekend cleaning the house and so on and so forth. Grover and I get into a bloodletting argument yesterday. Still am not quite sure what started it but it is still continuing today. (Never let it be said that I don't have stamina;))

My 11 (almost 12) year old is acting like an 11 (almost 12) year old. Any man that can remember back that far or any parent that can please have pity on me. Boys are sometimes no fun at all. I can take comfort in the fact that he will one day be my age and be too tired to be difficult;).

My 2 year old thinks it is very funny to just scream for no apparent reason at different times throughout the day. He is trying to see how loud and shrill he can get before he breaks glass.

My 1 year old is the only sane one in this house.....that is when he is not chewing on the cat's tail.

And you wonder why the male species frightens me?

HAPPY ST. PATRICK'S DAY PEOPLES!!!

Grover and I, both being of Irish descent, consider this to be one of the best, although pretty much unnecessary, holidays ever invented. Who would have ever thought of drinking green beer, eating cabbage and green bread (isn't that called moldy?) all day once a year except the Irish. Add some potatoes to that and you have enough gas to fuel a Hummer until next year! Of course, I don't drink so the whole cabbage thing is my blast (no pun intended;)).

This was my mother's favorite holiday. Eight years ago she passed away on this day. She would have certainly appreciated the irony of that. (She's the one I got my sense of humor from by the way;).) I'm not wearing green today so pinch me if you want to Mom...and if you do I'm outta here.

Peace allll................

P.S. Grover...thanks for the limericks on your blog today...I'm truly surprised you didn't put in your favorite about the man with the corkscrew.....well, maybe it was good that ya didn't!;)

Randoms

Why are there never any cops around when you realllly need them? And why do they always want to pull me or my husband over when we go to our friend's neighborhood? Could it be because we are white people going into a predominately black neighborhood so we must be drug dealers or drug doers? Or could it be simply because we have black friends?? (This is Alabama don't forget).

Why can I go to three different doctors about the same medication and get three different opinions? 1.It's just a side effect....don't worry about it. 2. Keep an eye on it...if it gets any worse call us back for an appointment. 3. Stop taking it now! It's going to kill you!

Why is it that sometimes when I am stuck in the middle of an excrutiatingly boring conversation (i.e. someone's monologue about their toenail clippings) that I zone out and start having fantasies of beating them about the face and neck with an iron bar....a really heavy iron bar?

Why can't the weathermen (excuse me, meteorologists..yeah right) EVER get the weather forecast right?

Why is it that the people that say they will call you never do and people you can't stand talking to call on an almost daily basis?

People who use their cell phones while driving should have their phone hands chopped off. The only exception to this is if you have a true emergency at the time....and that does NOT include calling your husband to see if he said strawberry or chocolate ice cream!

When I was a kid my mom used to tell me "It's a man's world." She would then say "That's why it's going to hell in a handbasket." She was never one for subtlety.;)

I am currently on a diet that consists of no's: no fatty foods, no fried foods, no fast foods,no condiments, no sugar, almost no dairy.......hey, you done with that cardboard over there? Wondering if I could grill that up for lunch.

The word 'wedgie' has now been added to the dictionary. Is it any surprise that this country is losing its edge as the premier superpower? Shouldn't be now.

Why do people come in a restaurant and order a double double chocolate death by chocolate dessert and a diet soda?

Why do my kids kick their blankets off at least three times a night and I have to continually get up and cover them back up so they won't get too cold?

I wish I could tell my mom how right she was all along.

Why do I only have people come by the house when it is a mess? Do they have radar or something?

Why do I talk so much, think so much, fear so much, cry so much, argue so much and question so much??

Thank you very much.

Peace allllll...............

Stoned

Well, you have all heard the phrase "When it rains, it pours." I am here to tell ya, yes it does. Remember last week when the kids had the colds and I had the strep and Grover had the flu? Okay, we all got over that.

I was at work last night, minding my business, kinda half doing my job as usual, when I was struck by the most horrific pains in my side. I ended up having to go home because I was in so much pain. So, I went to the emergency room this morning and after sitting in there for SIX hours and being poked and prodded on, I find out that I am the proud owner of gallstones! (Not to mention that pesky UTI.) So now, next Friday, I get to go and have my gallbladder removed. Whoo hoo, what fun.

Only one problem with this. Next weekend is Oakwood College Alumni weekend (i.e. the busiest weekend of the entire year) and I am not going to be there. Will I be fired? Will I care? Stay tuned for the next installment of "As The Stomach Churns".

Kidney stones, gallstones....are there any other types of stones I need to worry about?

Peace alllll...............

Thanks Heather!!

Okay....so this is the weirdest thing. I was reading Harmony's blog earlier and enjoying the list of weird stuff she had written about herself. Well, I was going to comment on my weird stuff but I had to read other people's weird stuff comments first. (Okay, I have said weird stuff too many times now.)

Anyhow, I was reading weird stuff about Heather and one of her things was that she talks to herself, complete with hand gestures and everything. I am SOOOOO glad to know that I am not the only person in the world that does this! My husband didn't even know that I did this until the other night.

It was about 2 in the morning and everyone was asleep. I was sitting up just going through the day's events, etc. in my head and talking to myself. Now, when I talk to myself, I will look as if I am talking to an invisible person. I don't speak very loudly (sometimes not out loud at all but my lips will be moving) but I will get the facial expressions and the hand gestures and I will laugh sometimes (if what I say is funny to me ;)) and it is something that I have been doing for many years now.

So, I'm sitting on the couch talking to myself and my husband comes out of the bedroom on his way to the bathroom. I do not know he is even there until I hear him say "What the hell are you doing?" Of course, he scared the crap out of me and after I said a quick prayer of thanks for controlling my bladder, I mumbled some lame excuse or the other. I think he was too sleepy to remember because he hasn't brought it up since then. Either that or he is simply afraid to.;)

I have until today thought I was some sort of freak because I have this habit. It is so comforting to know that I am not (well at least not because of this ;)) and if I am then I am not the only one. And for that, Heather I must thank you and thank you once again. And for all of you closet talk-to-yourselfers, come on out!

Peace alllll...............

Calgon......Take Them Away

For the past week and a half, my entire household has been sick with something or the other. It started with the kids....nothing bad, just run of the mill colds. So,of course, I got their cold and it developed into strep throat (mmmmmm) and I was out of work for like 4 days. So then Grover caught the flu (the real flu, not a bad cold that people call the flu) and was out of work for a WEEK.

So, my house has been a wreck for a little over a week. Tissues, juice cups, tea bags, medicine all over the house and enough groaning and moaning and whining to make your ears bleed. And the kids have been no picnic either.;)

However, fortunately, everyone is on the mend now. And as soon as Grover gets better and is ready to go outside for more than 30 minutes at a time he is taking the kids and they are all GETTING THE HECK OUT OF MY HOUSE. At least long enough for me to actually clean it. Then, once I have cleaned my house and actually sat in it ALONE for at least one hour and haven't heard my name called by anyone......then they can come back. Everyone needs a little regrouping time now and again. I will not feel guilty for it....I won't....well, at least not much.

Oh, by the way, for those who may be interested, Grover is finally posting again. Whoo hoo!!!

Peace allll..........

Question

Gotta question. Maybe kinda stupid but here goes. Just finished watching Jennifer Lopez' new video "Get Right". Why did she find it necessary to play like eight different characters in the video? Is she just too cheap to hire real actors or is she just too egotistical? Ordinarily, I have no opinion about her. However, that just struck me as a little odd.
