starting work today at the new job. the owner is russian, and although he does speak english he can get his prepositions mixed up. makes for interesting conversation. I'm getting paid $8 an hour in cash, and probably will only work 20 hours max.

I can probably also stay at my job doing cartpushing for 24 hours a week. it will give me benefits, and...

deux:
You sound very grounded and intelligent, Leaves. It's good to know that there are people like you who don't try to convert the masses or judge others for their beliefs. You are a rarity, my friend, and a welcome one at that. Glad to know you realize that I wasn't attacking you; rather, I was questioning "historical accuracies" in the bible.

Which isn't to say that there aren't historical accuracies in the bible. There are, without a doubt. But I don't see how, on a whole, that it can be treated as (pardon the term) gospel truth. There is much (at least in my eyes) that requires a great deal of faith to accept at face value.

But perhaps that's the whole point - taking it all on faith. If that's the case, then I'm afraid that I'm a bit of a doubting Thomasina.

At any rate, here's some questions for you to start off with:

Noah's Ark - how could one man living in ancient times manage to build a boat massive enough to house 2 of every land-based animal on the planet? Further, how could that man possibly manage to collect 2 of every creature on earth, when there were areas of it unheard of at the time? What happened to the ark? Where is the scientific proof that a deluge great enough to cover the surfaces of the earth ever happpened in history? Why does no other religious or historical document of the same era make no mention of it?

Hope that's not to many questions to start you off with...

"faith is "trusting in something you have reason to believe is true""

But what is the reason? Science??? Logic???



Would you disagree that reason has a limit when it comes to God? A limit set by God?

I'm probably trying to push something here that isn't directly related to biblology, which is why I'm posting here instead...

well, I'm not getting a severance. I still don't have a job to replace this one (my shoe repair job will be slow going and probably not more than 20 hours a week. if I wanna get all my debt paid off by christmas, I'll need something more, at least for a few months. But, apparently my job won't be eliminated until October 3rd, so...

hmm, hmm.

It's raining in Bellingham. Normally, this wouldn't be something to write home about (or place in the annals of a weblog).

But while Bellingham is known for it's wetter weather, we have had here a record breaking summer for heat and drought. personally, I hated this summer. not only did I have to sleep in daylight during this wretched heatwave, but I moved...

I tooth my son to the dentist


This is funny.

So you WANT the pain huh? Hmm... Ever see Little Shop of Horrors, the remake with Rick Moranis? And the bit with the dentist where Bill Murray is all jazzed about the pain... that was a funny bit.

Ok, so here's the news then.

I'm getting laid off at work, things with that girl I was trying to see didn't work out, and I'm looking for a job still. I might have a nice one lined up, but it's still in the waiting phase and even then, it's only probably 20 hours max.

Looking for a new love interest as soon as I...

Here's my final entry. Kind of like when the crew of the "Enterprise" would find some derelict ship in space, so also you get to read the last words of my log. only I hope I'm not going to be eaten by some giant space Ameoba.

I really, Really, REALLY would love it if you all would write me e-mails from time to time. I'm...

Good luck to you and may God watch over you through your many trials in life. I have your email and hopefully with in the next week or two you will have some World of Warcraft goodness to keep your mind at ease... Really it should be about a week and a half for the next round of invites and my list is all in up to you.

Bye...

Goodbye.

I have been so thankful to have gotten to know each of you. without your encouragement and support, the self-confidence I have now would have never been birthed in me. I'm not going to forget you.

EDIT: I probably can access/reply to whatever you wanna say for goodbyes until the 1st of september. wink

Here's the deal...

If ya want the details of my latest date, you're going to have to ask and realize that my description is going have some things that might not make sense to some of you (ie. Faith related) and so, inquire at your own risk.

Needless to say... It went exactly how I hoped it would. biggrin

I'm going to visit her at work...

boo, I spent WAY too much today. but I saved a bit because of a double employee discount day and coupons, so it's not soo bad. and everything I got that was expensive I needed.

Mostly, today will be spent organizing my stuff and reading my two new books, "Rachael Ray's 30 minute meals" (She is SOOOOO delightful to watch cook, and her food always...

hey there sweetie-
keep your spirits up- the girl doesn't know what she's missing evidently. sometimes people don't realize how much their inconsideration effects other people. i'm glad you are looking at everything as a learning experience- it's the best way you can look at it. you are in my thoughts... it'll be okay. kiss

Good luck on the relationship front. I'll keep you in my prayers, please keep me in yours.

I don't have anything to say, except I'm beginning to think I'm not panicking, that really it was all smoke and mirrors on sunday. people don't sound all enthusiastic and then don't call, even to just leave a message. everyone has 5 minutes in a day to make 1 phone call if they want, even if they work more than 40 a week. In fact,...

awww, thanks blush

I say call her again. And if you leave another message and doesn't call you back, then just forget about it.

mle:
kiss i hate playing the call dont call game. i think thats why i scare off people because i will do exactly what i feel like and if that means calling more than once a day then thats the way it is. good luck though. do what you feel and if they dont like it, tough shit, somone else will like it.
