She's only trying to SAVE YOUR ETERNAL SOUL!!<br /><br />And that's what makes it so hard and difficult, because you know she means well and you don't want to hurt her feelings, but you don't believe a word of it and you aren't going to (because, duh -its BS) so why bother with the whole thing?<br /><br />Sounds like you handled it appropriately.<br /><br />As to faith, I have heard many people say, even my non-religious friends, that it is a "good thing". I have to say, I just don't agree. I don't see how having blind faith CAN be a good thing. What is so good about it?<br /><br />But, I am not faithful, so there you go.<br /><br />Also, I have this theory about summer time here and Seasonal Affective Disorder. I've heard a lot about people getting this (the winter blues) in places where it is very cold in the winter. I think that the same is true here in the south, with this god-foresaken heat. It's just so damn unpleasant, as you said, spending all day, everyday being hot. It can wear you out and take a toll on the brain.<br /><br />What do you think?Lady Lemonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07630074794568739448noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2086296370004835655.post-60096072636003854792009-06-12T09:38:50.014-04:002009-06-12T09:38:50.014-04:00You are one of the most religious people I almost ...You are one of the most religious people I almost know, Ms. Moon.

Maybe you can think of it like you are remembering the craziness, rather than going back into it. I think we reach back to the last years experiences subconsciously to help us know what to expect this year. But bugger that, last year was not nice. This summer we are making new muscle memories for next year.<br /> I am so in awe of your strength and wisdom.

I took some of their literature once so they would leave alone, and it was all about how "were you recently dumped by your boyfriend or girlfriend? Well we can comfort you in your time of need!" and "What happens when your relatives die, we can tell you!" and shit like that, all preying on vulnerable people.Abandoning Edenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12696116071749613265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2086296370004835655.post-44637512341058428802009-06-11T16:47:12.072-04:002009-06-11T16:47:12.072-04:00Michelle- I know.

Deep breath.<br /><br />In class the other night, one gal did a short play that was hilarious. It involved one lady waiting to use the bathroom (doing the pee pee dance) and another lady trying to "bear witness" to her. It was so damn funny.

And that nothing we do really matters in the long run. <br /><br />It is kinda funny that we're really not too good at anything but thinking. If it weren't for our brains, we'd have been extinct long ago. And it may be our brains that do us in anyway. Or maybe we'll figure it all out and not destroy the planet and each other. Maybe we'll just evolve into enormous brains on a stalk. Like in that old Vincent Price movie.<br /><br />All I know is that when I feel THAT way, eventually, it passes. And then I'm able to feel a little joy again.michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09861251743062824891noreply@blogger.com
