Lately I find myself doing something, anything, to avoid having to go to bed, because all I do is toss and turn anyway.
And so I'm always up searching for any distraction... but then, of course, paying the price the next day (and I think it's charging tax.)
I can completely sympathize. I have basically been a zombie today....I can't focus and I wanted to do something creative today but it's hard to do if you're too tired to focus. Blah.

So my church closed down two years ago. It was very sudden and it hurt a lot when it happened. Now my mom and I haven't found another yet. We've visited a few here and there but we just haven't found that home church. My brother has though. He actually found his right away.
Today he told me "I really don't consider you and mom Christians, you all don't even go to church." UGH! He is so annoying and rude.
I should act like I'm an enemy worshiper. See how he likes that. Although it would just be acting.

I probably shouldn't have said the above comment. I'm sorry. I was just speaking out of anger, I'm really not going to do that. I'm just hurt that my brother would say that about me and my mom.
It didn't even sound angry to me. I thought u were just relating it because it was kind of funny (acting like an enemy worshipper to get back at your brother).

I would've been mad if my Brother said that to me. It wasn't nice to say that and going to church doesn't make you a Christian. In fact attitudes like that is why I stopped going for many years, but people say what they say and I hope he apologizes. Just remember that a church is a building. The Holy Spirit lives in us. You could sit on your front porch and study the Bible and that could be your church. So please don't let what your Brother said get to you because he was wrong.
Anyone for a topic related song?

Christmas Thoughts:
Why did we have to run the air conditioner on Christmas Day? Christmas is supposed to be freezing cold outside and warm inside. When it's warm outside and we have to run the AC inside, it just... doesn't have the same "cozy" factor.
My cat got run over on Christmas morning. I think I have given up having cats here. We live on a back road, at one end of a long straightaway. People round the curve and stomp the gas to sail down the straightaway. If I ever get a cat again at this location I'll get a whole litter of cats, so maybe ONE will turn out smart enough to not go in the road and not climb up into car engine compartments.
We need more chairs. We had just barely enough chairs for all the people who were here last night. People in recliners, kitchen chairs, piled up on the couch... God help you if you needed to use the bathroom. We need more chairs, traffic lights at major intersections like the kitchen/living room intersection, and another bathroom or four.
Aside from losing a feline we had a great time yesterday. About a third of the people here weren't even family, but someone invited them. The more, the merrier. If anybody doesn't have plans for New Year's Day, we're doing the whole mess again in about a week and you're welcome to drop by. You don't even need to bring any food. We always have too much food anyway. We'll probably ask you to take some leftovers home because our fridges are all full of leftovers that we'll be eating on for a week.
