You know, I was reading a couple of articles on line about the Anglican Church this evening: it went on and on about gay marriage, how unwed moms can get hitched AND get their kid(s) baptized in one ceremony, etc. I just shake my head an wonder how a supposed Christian denomination can be Christian when it’s not based on the Bible? Well, in our bulletins today was an excerpt from C. S. Lewis’ “Screwtape Letters” where we have one demon (supposedly Satan) training his nephew on how to keep a Christian out of walking with Christ. Lewis writes (Satan speaking): “You must arrange to make him a devout Methodist or Anglican...he must come to accept the church as a type of religious social club...help him become more religious, but for hell’s sake, not more Christian!” ZING! or for some readers just a big fat “YEOWCH!!” My main point in that quote was the Anglican church and how they have really become a religious social club (save those who have broken off to become what is ...

Ok, so a little over a month has gone by and where have I been? I guess you could say trying to battle some personal demons by myself – it doesn’t work that way, does it. However, gratefully because of God’s help, these demons seem to have raced out of the room this week -- adios and don’t let the door hit you on the way out !! Has anyone been reading Facebook a little too much (or have you even seen it at all yet)? It’s a little like email, a little like a blog, a little like a chat...My fascination has been in how many people from my high school class are on there now. It’s our 30th Class Reunion this year, the admin is on there, and little by little the “friends” list is growing for Needham HS Class of ‘79. I’m not sure what else draws me...perhaps reading what co-workers are doing on the weekend? One very smiling friend from work always has an upbeat message – if it’s not sunny outside, her status messages will make the sun shine regardless! I can follow along with ...275 days ago
Wow, I have been gone a long time…and I see in being gone, almost every contact has been deleted…not sure if that’s a system thing or a personal thing, either way, it’s a wake-up call! Joe and I are still together – we had a rocky moment back in November but have decided to see where this goes. As he said, I am currently learning to be a “tax widow” – as a CPA he is hardly around now, working late hours, working Saturday, then doing returns on the side. However, this is giving me time to work on other parts of my life – my house, my kids, my health, and most of all – my relationship with Christ. My work has changed- I am once again the DSL/HSI specialist for Verizon New England and am thrilled to be doing this job again. I feel tremendously challenged and rewarded – not many people can say that about their job. However, it does involve a commute to Andover which is up by the NH border…my regular office is near the RI border. It’s quite a commute, right thru Boston ...503 days ago
So I am back to blogging -- I have missed it, and yet for a while there my heart wasnt in it...perhaps it was because my EX found my blog and didn't like it? I honestly don't know...but he and I are friends, and I won't stop reaching out to great blog buddies (some of whom have become more than blog buddies -- G !!!!) and sharing thoughts and feelings with awesome people -- my ex, who isn't an "ex-friend" by any means, will need to understand, and I am sure he will come to appreciate it all. I guess I let everyone know I have found someone wonderful -- his name is Joe. I pray God take care of him and bless our relationship so it can continue to be a Godly one -- Joe has been thru a lot and needs prayer, but he is not "needy" and wow, I hope I am not that to him, either !!!! He just rocks my world...wise in his faith and the Bible, it's so cool to be able to have a BIBLICAL discussion with him!! We give and take...we SHARE ideas. No one is right or ...
