Beginnings are always particularly messy. It strikes me that you're beginning a new phase--being a Christian--and a certain amount of messiness is to be expected. As well, everyone else is somewhat messy in their own way--hopefully we can live with everyone's messiness to an extent.Emma Gorst https://www.blogger.com/profile/09692637018538270794noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5620546355443994788.post-47479132389315117092008-11-08T21:37:00.000-05:002008-11-08T21:37:00.000-05:00Ron: Woah.

People want to talk about it with me now, which is nice. I was scared of what they would think, and that day was really stressful, but now that it's out it's actually a relief. :-)<BR/><BR/>Karen: If my life doesn't slow down, I think I'll be employing the "off the cuff" writing strategy, if I want to keep this blog going! And I most definitely want to keep this blog going.<BR/><BR/>Logan: I'd love a chance to talk with you about Heaven's Rehearsal. It was really something! <BR/>Thanks in advance for the prayers. :-)<BR/><BR/>Desi: Thinking about the words is a leftover from my English Major days. I even did some training to become a professional editor, although I didn't pursue that. It's tough to let it go, but probably a good challenge for me to let go of perfectionism.<BR/><BR/>Unsigned: Thank you!<BR/><BR/>Ron: I really like the stream-of-consciousness quality of your blog. I'm so sure that I'd like you in person because I already know how you think. :-)<BR/><BR/>Sabrae: I never thought about that. I guess it's like if anyone is talking in a foreign language - they could be cussing you out and you'd never know. Hmmm....<BR/><BR/>Nicole: Workplaces are notoriously like dysfunctional families. It's tough to build trust with colleagues at the same time as keeping appropriate professional boundaries. I find it's an everyday challenge.Sparkling Redhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12799366562472325812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5620546355443994788.post-72788333585624434352008-11-08T03:32:00.000-05:002008-11-08T03:32:00.000-05:00That sure is a lot of stuff going on.Wow.I keep my...That sure is a lot of stuff going on.<BR/>Wow.<BR/>I keep my fingers crossed for your sanity!<BR/>Regarding people at work.<BR/>I gave up trusting anyone there a long time ago (not that I have a work place any more to begin with)<BR/>Hugs!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5620546355443994788.post-14068736854862363202008-11-08T00:52:00.000-05:002008-11-08T00:52:00.000-05:00I wasn't sure that a person could be that mentally...I wasn't sure that a person could be that mentally prepared to write a blog! You need to come to the states and teach me that concept! Things will get better for you! It is a lot to take in with everything going on. And the speaking in tounges thing isn't all that spectacular to watch... I've seen it done a few times but have always been taught that if there isn't an interpetur around to tell you what that person is saying then not to praise the person becuz you don't know if the tounge he is speaking in is blashfumus (sp) or not.

I witnessed speaking in tongues once at my brothers church and it was a surreal experience that's for sure. I wish I had it on tape for analysis it sounded really cool.Warped Mind of Ronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15670039992710968421noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5620546355443994788.post-4690257440244218212008-11-07T20:55:00.000-05:002008-11-07T20:55:00.000-05:00I will pray for you!I will pray for you!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5620546355443994788.post-49724623313472963932008-11-07T19:28:00.000-05:002008-11-07T19:28:00.000-05:00My dad was raised with speaking in tongues and rol...My dad was raised with speaking in tongues and rolling around being pretty standard. He doesn't believe in God, but I do. He thought raising me without mentioning God would generate an atheist, too, but it just left me to make my own decision. <BR/><BR/>I never even think about the words.

You have every reason to take a break from going through your step-father's belongings. And if anyone has a problem with that, they can do it themselves. And finally, the work thing. That's tough. Hopefully, people will see you are a good person with good intentions ... and what you do on your own time is no business of theirs. Be good to you.Nilsa @ SoMi Speakshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08474642034399063234noreply@blogger.com
