Re: http://www.kansasbob.com/2007/09/institutional-church.html

Sarah — Thu, 06 Sep 2007 00:26:00 -0000

That's a great question! And good ground-rules too. When I hear the term "institutional church" I think of a cultural understanding of church (a grid that we perceive and define "church" through) that is heavily influenced by the Enlightenment and revival of Greek thinking (in our western cultural heritage). The Enlightenment focused on reason (according to the Greek definitions of rationality) and structural organizations/institutions as the "civilized" (and therefore, best) way to organize society. I think of technical mechanisms and functions overriding relationships. I think of intellectualism and doctrine overriding a geniune search to know God personally (and together) by direct contact with Him. I think of social connectedness arising from meetings in formal organizations rather than intimate friendships nurtured over shared meals. In this way, I associate the word "institutional church" with the world culture in the West. And I wonder how we came to imitate the world... (and how the world organizes itself) rather than imitate Jesus' ministry. That's my honest response, for whatever it's worth.

I have to agree. I'm not convinced that democracy can be exported into a cultural situation that does not desire democratic values, that is not interested in emulating us. At this point, I believe the war is a tragedy similar to the removal of Tito in the former Yugoslavia. One evil dictator may be gone, but now the lid is off for massive bloodshed between ethnic (and religious) groups that hate each other. I really regret this situation before God, because I'm not sure that removing Saddam was the lesser of two evils. I think more will die now (whether we stay or leave). And God cares about Iraqi lives as much as He does about American ones. Besides, I agree with the whole "hijacking by neoconservatives" argument. It holds true since these same people stood to gain so much financially from this war. I don't God likes that either. But it's a difficult situation with no easy answers, that's for sure!

Interesting. I've actually heard of several people winning court cases when prosecuted for not paying their income taxes since the IRS code has no legal basis according to the constitution (and the supreme court actually ruled so in 1929 I think, with no ruling otherwise since). There is no law that one can point to that says we have to pay income taxes. There is only the IRS tax code itself... Ron Paul talks about it actually...

Sarah — Wed, 12 Sep 2007 16:19:00 -0000

Culturally, maybe. But I don't think the founder's intention was to create a "Christian" nation, but rather a free nation. I actually have an issue with the term "founder" but that's another topic. For those Americans of white, European descent, I guess the term 'founder' applies, since they 'founded' the historical narrative of European immigrants to America. Back to the topic at hand, a lot of these immigrants were fleeing religious persecution and I think there was a sensitivity to that in the establishment of the US as a nation-state. I think it's important not to deviate from that, otherwise, Christians too will eventually be persecuted as "extremists" as a result of some Christians trying to enforce their theocratic ideas on others. Maybe I'm wrong... I don't really know how God sees it, I'm just wingin' it in my answer here... :)

I suppose it depends on what grid you interpret "assembling together" through. How did meeting for a 2 hour presentation in a building designated specifically for this purpose become the only credible expression of "assembing together"?

With the healthcare industry making the huge profits that they are under the current system, it would most likely take a miracle to change the situation. Maybe we should focus on changing the lobby system first - it seems to distort our democracy into something that serves only those with great means.

Re: http://www.kansasbob.com/2007/09/church-announcements.html

Sarah — Sat, 29 Sep 2007 14:08:00 -0000

I think most churches I've been in do the announcements after worship and before the sermon.

I always wondered why because that seemed to always interrupt the atmosphere brought on through worship and transport us all abruptly back from a place in the spirit.

Perhaps people might be more receptive in their spirit to hearing the Word preached and implanted if their spirit was still in an atmosphere of worship. ???

I find it difficult to communicate my thoughts on this. But I think we often live from our soul rather than from our spirit (but this is something we gradually learn to do better as we mature: live from our spirit, where the Holy Spirit indwells us, I mean).

But for many who are just learning to live from the spirit, but spend most of their time living out of the soul, worship does seem to help get them "in the spirit" but the announcements seem just as effective in getting them back in the soul realm. So an opportunity for spiritual transfer with the preaching of the Word seems to be missed.

I think you've hit the nail on the head with this post. I am opposed to abortion, as is Casey. However, I am not convinced that voting in a "conservative" candidate will inevitably lead to a change in the law (judges don't always vote the way we think they will, even when they are considered 'conservative.' History shows.) And if the law was changed, I am not convinced that would change people's minds on abortion at this point (after it was so successfully, yet ridiculously, tied to women's right).

You cannot legislate a change of heart. We just end up with a Christian version of Sharia law. That's not the kingdom that Jesus came to bring. He didn't deliver the Jews from the Romans, He delivered them from another kind of oppressor. I will never look to the politics to solve spiritual problems. (I believe that's the mistake the Israelites made when they got Saul: "Give us a king!") I will never vote on one single issue - because injustice takes many forms (I think all God's children have value, Iraqi and Iranian lives as well as the unborn). I have to weigh these things out. I pray God give us all great wisdom!

I enjoyed the forum as well. I have to agree, the hawkishness of McCain gives me pause too. (Especially in light of the fact that Bush's aggressive missile positioning along Russia's borders in Eastern Europe have instigated a the beginnings of a new arms race. Guess what? Russia's lining up missiles in Ossetia pointing toward our NATO allies. This is no surprise. I've also heard - through BBC or Stratfor - that Putin is trying to negotiate for missiles in Cuba again. Fantastic. Thank you, Bush, for making us less secure).

Oh, by the way, the NY times reported that McCain was not in a "cone of silence" but was in his motorcade travelling to the church while Obama's interview was taking place live (it also reported that Rick Warren was unaware of that). I find it difficult to believe that his campaign staff were not listening in, since it was being broadcast.

Along with Shane, the pro-choice thing bothers me too. But McCain is not exactly an embodiment of pro-life values. And he is considering a pro-choice VP. So, I continue to lean more and more towards Obama.

Well, I am pleased with the furniture, as I posted a few months ago. However, I came back to get an ottoman or 2 and the fabric we have for our sofa and chairs is no longer available. I\'m very dissappointed...So, if you\'re going to plan on getting more furniture, buy it all now or wait until you can get it all at once so they don\'t dicontinue your fabric.

We had a very easy time putting together our chair. We are waiting to put together our 2nd chair and sofa until we move. I think this is so much easier than putting together those other ready to assemble pieces (bookshelves, desks, etc.) that you can buy from other stores. It only took my husband and I about 45 minutes to put it together. We will definitely be coming back to buy ottomans in a couple of months!

I'm often thinking about making my daughter feel special. And my husband too. Really, it's just because they *are* so special (I think they are totally awesome - God gave me the two coolest people in the world for my family).

hulu.com is a good on-demand resource for watching TV shows and movies on your computer as well. We don't have cable since all the shows that we like are available online. We usually see them a day after they aired, but we don't mind waiting. And we don't tune into radio since we use pandora.com. You can type in a song or artist you like, and pandora will play other music in that genre for you. Brilliant!

I pretty well agree with everything you've said here.

Except #2 - I may not agree with all of Obama's plans, but I do think we need more regulatory accountability so that the little guy isn't taken advantage of by predatory mortgage sharks. Freddie Mac and Fannie May never should've happened. Some people are losing everything they considered "the American dream."

God has a lot to say about taking advantage of the poor and about this sort of injustice. There must be accountability for corporate powers and banks. And the reality is that the little guy usually doesn't have the power or position to hold them accountable. I don't want America as a nation to fail to hear the cry of the oppressed - Isaiah had some strong words from God on that issue!

Missy had me going for a second there... lol! I agree, humor is for humor and sound-byte spin and op-ed pages have their limitations. Additionally, some networks are so thoroughly biased (Fox leans so far right, they almost fall over, and same with MSNBC in the direction of the left).

For actual *news* reporting with journalistic professionalism, I prefer The Economist (right leaning) and BBC (left leaning). Besides the higher standards in reporting, I also find it helpful to hear an "outsider" perspective that doesn't have as much invested in this election as we do here at home, because it tends to be less emotional. (Nothing wrong with emotions, just when you are trying to make informed decisions, they can get in the way).

Yep. I no longer identify primarily with the Republican platform, as I have in the past, since the neocons have taken it over. (I don't disagree with *all* Republicans, but with almost every policy stance the neocons take). I still agree with some very important Republican stances, but I also agree with some of the policy positions being articulated from the Democratic side (*especially* regarding strategic foreign policy, strategic defense, and the economy). But I do not identify with the Democratic party as a whole. I fall into that independent category.

I agree with Brian's assessment. It's pretty presumptuous to equate faith with stupidity. By taking that position, Maher presumes himself to be smarter than people like Cornel West (an outspoken Christian and a very gifted intellectual). You can watch Cornel West on Bill Maher's show on youtube - it's clear that Maher doesn't keep up with him. But mostly, it's because Maher is not aware and well-versed about the beliefs he mocks (mainly, Christianity).

It's interesting that he points out how we choose to keep ourselves ignorant of the ramifications of buying products (which have different degrees of environmental or social costs attached to them). I saw this one guy on Ted Talks (wish I could remember his name!) who had the idea of using barcodes to bring up this information on a product. So, consumers would have hand-held devices they would carry through the store and you could find out all sorts of other "costs" (or "benefits") that aren't reflected in the number on the price tag. And then their moral choice is more informed. However, consumers have to actually *care* first. I don't think most want to.

My experience is quite different from Karen's. I hear a lot of Americans say those kinds of things about Canadians and other Western countries, but in my personal experience, I have found these things to be common myths.

I live near the border, have dual citizenship, work and have extended family in Canada. No Canadians I know go to the states for health care. (I'm not saying there aren't any. I've just never heard of it. And I know a lot of Canadians). Even the dentist is cheaper in Canada.

The problem is that this issue is way too politicized. People get passionate about their "position" on the issue, and generally can't hear another perspective. I also have friends in the UK who complain about their health care system, but always tell me they prefer it to ours any day. So my personal experience is different.

We are considering moving back to Canada because of the security issue of health care. We don't want to end up losing everything if something goes wrong with our health. And we just can't afford the costs of insurance here. I know a lot of people who can't.

Millions of Americans don't have insurance - and I don't think irresponsibility is always the reason. It's really expensive! But a lot of people understand that they could be ruined financially if something went wrong. So, if they still aren't getting insurance, then it may because they simply cannot afford it. It's too simplistic to just to write all these people off as "irresponsible."

But, just because I prefer Canadian universal healthcare to the current American situation... doesn't mean I'm opposed ideologically to private health care. I just think there ought to be some accountability.

When people fall ill, especially with treatable, but potentially fatal conditions; that creates a vulnerability and desperation. If left entirely to "the invisible hand of the market," that creates a skewed power relationship between the sick and the health care providers and drug manufacturers. How much is your life worth? What price would you put on it?

The potential for abuse and excessive profit margins is almost endless. (I remember a whistle-blower from a health insurance company testifying about getting bonuses and incentives for consistently denying claims. That kind of company policy is pure greed.) Somebody has to hold them accountable, so I'm not opposed to regulation in that direction.

There is definitely an ethical element to this that gets ignored by the far, far right. I don't get how depending on Adam Smith, and Keynes, and their ideologies about the market - how any of that is automatically "Christian" (at least in this country). We're following Jesus, not Smith and Keynes. And definitely not Marx. (Sorry for the length of my comment)

Bothers me that God is #2, and America is #1. That doesn't reflect my faith at all. As a result of God being #1 for me - I do not "otherize" people who aren't American (us vs. them) because Jesus wouldn't. He was always contradicting that kind of mentality. Luke 4:25-27 is a good example.

Re: http://www.kansasbob.com/2009/04/intellectualism-and-athleticism.html

Sarah — Thu, 30 Apr 2009 00:48:00 -0000

Guess you could sum it up by saying that God has designed people differently - each with unique gifts and talents and interests. And He delights in that diversity, and we can honor all these different gifts that He has creatively distributed, making each one unique.

I'm not athletic in the slightest, but love to see an athlete doing what they love and enjoying the abilities God has blessed them with. Looks like fun!

I guess the problem arises when we view gifts and talents through a wrong grid - and try to use them as a source of status, or pride, or power, or human glory. Every gift is susceptible to this mishandling by humans, even the spiritual gifts.

Re: How do I stop anxiety and panic attacks for good?

Sarah — Wed, 12 Aug 2009 12:26:59 -0000

I have also suffered from anxiety attacks. Mine began in high school and continued into my middle year of university. I tried everything from cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT), breathing techniques, acupuncture, and of course medication.

In 2006 I came across a panic attack prevention method online (http://www.anxietyreliefmethod.com). I gave it a go and have used the technique ever since. It worked immediately and completely for me, and has continued to work. It’s was also very simple to learn and apply.

I now feel confident in just about everything I do. I also have much more energy and clarity. In 2008 I graduated with a bachelor of economics with honours, and my transition to working life this year has been smooth.

My advice is to try the panic away technique first as it has worked so well for so many people. It’s also cheaper and quicker to get results than the alternatives of CBT, medication etc. Plus you can get your money back if required.

Best of luck!

I agree with the previous suggestions.

I don't accept products that I don't think I will like, or that I don't think I'll be able to properly review.

Most of the time a product will work for someone else even if it doesn't work for you, so be honest about why the product didn't work for you, and who you think it will work for.

Although this seems like a bad thing, you're actually helping people decide which products will work for them, and ensuring that people won't buy products that won't work for them, which helps prevent the negative feelings that can occur towards a company when people buy a product that doesn't work for them.

I also think bloggers who only write positive reviews, and "love, love, love" every product are less credible than bloggers who don't like certain products.

hi Alison

Bit late coming to this debate, but nevermind.
Anyway, what I wanted to say was - the thing about budgeting is having a boundary to stay within. You haven't actually identified whether that £827 a month is sustainable. If it's within your income, then you're fine, although I notice there's no disaster fund. If you could, say, get half your books and mags from the library instead of buying them you could build a small oops-fund. All our "new" books (even some for presents now) come from charity shops. Our local Oxfam is particularly good.

Also, I hope you're eating well for that £170 on two of you; that's quite a lot of caviar given that I'm feeding 5 on £300 (although I appreciate Finn's needs probably push your budget up food-wise).

But my main point was that for budgeting to work, to have to know why you're doing it. If it's just to be comfortable within your own financial skin and boundaries, that's fine. Best of luck.

I'm so sorry you're in this space. It's hard ... and yet so often something comes along, unexpected, mild, a book as you say, or a change in the weather, or a random smile, and you catch its hook and it drags you on up from there into the light.

Me, I love it just being my kid and me, floating through everyday life. This is my happiness zone, and I feel free. I love winter too. But flip it over, put me near the end of summer (February - right here, right now) and I languish. But I know the rain will come for me, as the sun will come for you.

Many blessings, and thank you for your truth. You do sorrow and lethargy so gorgeously.

Sarah — Wed, 10 Oct 2007 18:02:00 -0000

This is one of those really tough questions. I think it's wise to spell it out in a living will. I'd probably opt for the same. (And should get right on that).

On the other side of this coin is the reality of trade-offs in terms of resource distribution for health services. For instance, there was a lot of focus on drugs for AIDS patients in Africa, which were found to prolong their life by about one year. That's great, but if the resources are going to something expensive that gives only one extra life while thousands of infants are dying from preventable diseases like malaria and dehydration from diarhea (from lack of clean water), then I don't think it's the best course. It's kind of like stem cell research. I have a problem with taking from children to keep adults alive longer. Just a thought...

Re: http://www.kansasbob.com/2007/09/blackwater.html

Sarah — Fri, 21 Sep 2007 14:47:00 -0000

I've heard (from an intelligence officer with the Canadian army) that Blackwater is the police force in the newly developed, uber-wealthy, man-made island communities off the coast of the United Arab Emirates. Strange world we live in. (I also believe Blackwater mercenaries are mostly ex-Navy SEALS). My (Canadian) husband, who was a history major, also wanted me to note that this is what Rome did just before their empire began to crumble. They too began relying on mercenary forces (and foreign conscription to fight their battles). Don't blame me for that commentary! :) (OK, I guess I did type it up)...

Re: http://www.kansasbob.com/2007/09/blackwater.html

Sarah — Sat, 22 Sep 2007 12:52:00 -0000

I think you are right. This is the first time we've used them in an overt war, but I think it was common for our government to utilize them in covert conflicts during the Cold War. "Covert conflict" is probably bad terminology, but I mean conflicts the US government entered without telling the American people, and invested money and resources (arms, training) using non-American forces (sometimes alongside a special American task force, sometimes on their own).

Re: http://www.kansasbob.com/2007/10/civil-unions.html

Sarah — Sat, 13 Oct 2007 22:10:00 -0000

I wish I could understand it a bit better myself! I have wondered if civil unions were they way to go (as you said, marriage is a religiously based institution, so how can same-sex activists force their beliefs on religious people?)

On the one hand, I don't think that homosexuals should be treated any different from anyone else. People make all kinds of choices in our society that my faith regards as a wrong choice. And yet, I am taught to love those people. But, if they want to enforce their beliefs on my faith (by redefining marriage), then I cannot agree with that.

It's interesting to note that some homosexual activist groups in Canada oppose legislation that is undemocratic and supports the minority view instead of the majority view (because they wisely understand this is a dangerous precedent that at any time could go against their favor rather than in their favor).

I've ministered in East Vancouver, where the clinic mentioned operates. It's not a program to help them get clean at all - it supports the status-quo of their current addiction. In my opinion, it is not compassionate to help people slowly kill themselves, so the argument about overdose reduction is ridiculous.

My husband has a high school friend who overcame a heroin addiction (which occurred while he was living in Vancouver). He's now pursuing higher education and living well in Montreal. He is vehemently against the clinic as a non-solution. He feels the same as Madras: it is a policy of giving up on people. I find that interesting.

Sometimes, I think we are told what to be concerned about - rather than voicing our concerns and having them addressed (the way democracy is SUPPOSED to work).

I'm with you: Social Security is a big one, health care, corruption of big business, breakdown of family, education. I can't prioritize some of these things! I find it hard because I care about some of them equally!

It's kind of surreal, isn't it? I'm actually surprised you were able to find out as many as you did! At least some groups are honest and open about it.

I think it's wise to give to those you know personally (unless God speaks clearly to give to someone you don't know well). I think that's the best way because then it's more relationally-focused. I wonder how the landscape of "ministry" would change if everyone in the church began to give this way. Hmmm. Interesting to ponder...

All in this one auction. Wow, gross. Too bizarre - you can't make this stuff up. The only thing that could top this is auctioning off Lenin's embalmed body. Ew.

I don't know much about Che. Maybe this little Latin American dude was a huge threat to the national security of the United States. Like I said, I don't know. I wonder how his family felt about this auction?

Re: http://www.kansasbob.com/2007/12/iraq-military-perspective.html

Sarah — Fri, 07 Dec 2007 14:32:00 -0000

I find this interesting because I think the military are in a unique inside position to know what has really gone on. I think the military is especially disillusioned by the privatization of this war. How much their paycheck brings home compared to how much the private contractors are bringing home and a myriad of other discouragements. Halliburton's role is especially disconcerting. It's just open corruption as far as I'm concerned. It amazes me that more Republican voters aren't up in arms over the level of corruption and cronyism in the party right now. It's definitely seen better days... I don't know that signing up with the Democrats is the solution... but I understand the disillusionment. You really have to turn several blind eyes to be happy with the current administration.

LOL! It looks like everyone is emerging! I think everyone can find at least a couple words from both categories! :D

I think all Christians would use 'Jesus' and 'spiritual' in a positive way, while all would use 'judgmental' in a negative sense (and if your Charismatic or Pentecostal, then 'rational' and 'Enlightenment' definitely make your negative list!)

Sarah — Fri, 18 Jan 2008 14:23:00 -0000

Some good points in this discussion. I do think our oil consumption is totally out of control - and it makes us less secure (by funding terrorism with oil money in Saudi Arabia for instance, by creating the need to continuously over-ride national sovereignty in oil producing countries in order to ensure our thirst is quenched).

But I don't see a gas tax being a viable solution. People don't respond as well to punishments as they do to incentives. Instead, we should be providing tax breaks, write-offs or some other incentives to those who purchase fuel efficient vehicles like hybrids or small commuter cars. Reward people who are making consumer choices that are good for national security, instead of punish people who are making choices that are bad for national security.

By the way, I'm already paying $3.29 per gallon, so $3.49 doesn't seem that much different (referring to the cartoon).

I really liked Therese's point about urban development. That is the REAL problem. We build and develop in a car-dependent manner. We could definitely learn from the Europe, or even China for that matter when it comes to bike-friendly and pedestrian-friendly development.

Sarah — Mon, 21 Jan 2008 00:39:00 -0000

Thanks for sharing that article, I am very interested in the topic! I only wish the article had a date on it, so I could know how current the information is. Actually, after reading, I only wanted to learn more (because, truly, if it is all marketing hype and actually not an environmental choice, I want to know). So I searched for other articles. I came across this one that talks in more detail about these concerns:

http://www.hybridcars.com/battery-toxicity.html

And I also believe that high oil consumption is bad for national security as it does fund terrorism. We really are shooting ourselves in the foot there, regardless of the environmental issues surrounding hybrids.

So for those who don't think that the environment is a serious issue (which I don't think is true of you, I'm just saying 'in general'), but do think national security is important: I think they should seriously evaluate their own oil consumption habits. (Okay, sorry, that sounds preachy. I don't want to sound preachy. But I'm going to say those things anyway, at the risk of sounding preachy.) :)

Stephanie's right. Once you go Mac, you never go back! They are so much easier to use (for all applications, including business) and their operating systems are SO MUCH BETTER than Microsoft crud.

The fact that Microsoft programs in flaws so that you have to update every year - sheesh. Thieves! Actually, it is the PC software that is the problem. Continuous crashing and updates. The only program on my Mac that ever crashes is Microsoft Office. Vista doesn't even work half the time and most computers can't even run it without hardware upgrades. PC's had 114,000 viruses last year, how many did Mac have??? None... I would venture to say PC's days in the sun are over, especially with all the anti-trust suits against Microsoft. PC's may continue to do okay if Linux fills the Microsoft gap.

Re: http://www.kansasbob.com/2008/01/immigration.html

Sarah — Sun, 27 Jan 2008 18:47:00 -0000

Interesting discussion. Missy's right. Canadians have it better than Americans (in my opinion). I don't think they are over-taxed. I lived there for 7 years, and the quality of life is fantastic. The healthcare was completely free and it was phenomenal (contrary to popular belief in the states), Canada has much lower crime rates, affordable university education (I never could've afforded to go in the US!), the list goes on and on. Canadians aren't flooding the border because they have no reason to. Canada is a very popular destination for immigrants, and immigrant human resources are appreciated and better utilized there (a lot of educated people immigrate to Canada as well as those from third world conditions).

Also, Canada has a different history than Mexico. Mexico is more akin to third world conditions due to its particular colonial history etc. I personally believe that people are fleeing Mexico out of desperation, and the jobs they may get in the states are only the ones that those with no high school diploma can get. So that's not much of a threat to my job security. But, that's not how everyone feels, and I understand that. If I was born in Mexico, born into poverty and wanted a better life for my kids, I might be more apt to try to do so even if it meant breaking the law.

I know, my stance is very soft on the issue. But I try to understand what Jesus meant by "Love your neighbor" when it comes to our neighbor Mexico. I also think the US should focus more USaid and more development initiatives, corruption fighting initiatives and the like to help Mexicans develop more security in their own country so they don't have to flee to ours. A small investment for preventative measures saves us a lot in the long run.

Excellent article! Thanks for sharing. I have felt much the same way as he describes. Adding to the 'pro-life' question in Iraq - when you don't just consider American lives, but also Iraqi (and/or Iranian in the future), then a culture of death seems to pervade the politics of the right (and the politics of Ms. Clinton - she's always been a democratic hawk and has always supported the decision to go to war in Iraq). And don't get me started on consumerism!!! I read some great Christian posts today on that topic:

Campaign finance reform. Hillary's only been a US senator since 2000 (I think she relies on Bill's experience vicariously - but it's not the same thing). Obama was a state senator from 1996 to 2004, and voted into the US senate in 2004. They're citing Hillary's experience as health care reform?! That was a total failure!

To be honest, I'm not so much of an Obama supporter (because if he can deliver on reuniting Americans remains to be seen), but rather, I am opposed to the idea of Hillary in the White House.

Mike is absolutely right. Americans have been told that elsewhere, universal health care is a failure and people are sitting on long waiting lists to get treatment. It just isn't true. I had way more trouble in the US with care (fighting HMOs to cover the reconstructive surgery that qualified under the policy terms) than in Canada. I could hardly believe that giving birth to my baby was completely FREE, both financially, and hassle-free! And, it was top-of-the-line maternity care!

Yes, Sicko is good as it documents the health care systems in Canada and Europe, but the whole Cuban health care scene is overtly staged and propagandist. (Cuba has excellent health care, and sends doctors all over the world - they have some of the best doctors in the world. But, what they showed as 'spontaneous' was obviously planned and staged). However, I still recommend the movie.

Re: http://www.kansasbob.com/2008/04/quitting-church.html

Sarah — Wed, 23 Apr 2008 22:49:00 -0000

I found it hard to answer, since the definition of "church" as defined by the pollsters is probably different than my definition of the "church". How can any Christ-follower "leave" the church? They ARE the church, if they are following Jesus. That doesn't make any sense to me... You can't leave yourself and the believing friends God's given you (when you follow Jesus, He weaves your life into the lives of other believers).

So I guess I would have to answer Yes (Other) 15%. Since I don't attend a Sunday morning meeting per se, but define the church as "living stones being fitted together" through relationship and joint mission. So, I have left behind a previous held conception of church, but never left the Church.

I wonder if a lot of people tough it out (despite their frustration and boredom) because they have been taught that this is required of them by God. I find many people believe that they cannot be a God-pleasing Christian without "going to church" (using Christianity Today's definition of church as somewhere you go to consume spiritual services).

Anyway, interesting poll! Thanks for sharing!

Hey, I love reading your blog and keeping up with the latest beauty must-haves! While you're on the topic of winter holiday beauty, I was wondering if you'd seen the new Diesel Fuel For life limited edition fragrances? The packaging is amazing. There's a small vial on a pocket chain, or a gorgeous bling bottle wrapped in gilded chains - both available for girls or boys. Keep up the good work!

hey, just thought I'd let you know, Cadbury chocolate is actually Australian. The originals come from here, (which are definantly the best tasting =])
Ive had american cadbury's which i though was about a twentieth as good as Australias.
I've never had British Cadbury but I'd definantly recommend you find someone Australian to get you some real stuff!

Re: Ideas???

Sarah — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 08:49:03 -0000

Well you don't have to send me a gift card ;) but I like the recipe of the day or week idea. Some other blogs I follow do "TEN ON TUESDAY" just 10 random things that have been going on with them, ideas, complaints, etc. I've also seen "Five on Friday." Last winter, I tried taking a fam. pic in the same spot with the self timer every Saturday. It only lasted like 10 weeks or something before my husband said no more... but the kids still talk about how fun it was. I was thinking of starting it again, but just doing the kids and I because that would be easier.

So after having a complete meltdown on the phone with him and him having no idea WHAT to say. I called for pizza and when he walked in I told him I needed to take a drive and dinner was on the way. LOL

I can imagine he sat at home wondering if I would ever come home or not. Poor guy.

my dad composts - and i would love to, but i don't know where we'll be living after this. and unless it's in a house we own i don't want to make the effort. but every time i throw stuff away i think/say "this could be composted!"

I find it amazing that reporters like Jori Finkel and Christopher Knight have not covered the accounting scandal at the Autry Museum in Griffith Park.

Look at the Siegel Report:
www.friendsofthesouthwestmuseum.com

The MOCA scandal looks like peanuts compared to the Autry Board telling major donors that it has $100 million of endowment when it has no such thing.

Just as the owners of various social networking sites haven't quite decided which purpose to serve (keep up with friends or meet friends), I think many users aren't sure yet either. I've signed up for countless things - - Bebo, Friendster, and even something called Hi5 - simply because I was invited to without really knowing how I'd use it.

Re: Education: A Cul-de-Sac?

Sarah — Mon, 11 Jun 2007 22:36:00 -0000

Derrick,

I totally agree with everything you've said about formal education. It's a great way to create a foundation of knowledge, but it gets to a point where you're only learning the things you're going to be tested on, and absorbing very little that will have any value in whatever you choose to do with your life.

I've been doing a lot of reading lately about Informal Learning - the concept that we learn better by picking up the knowledge we need as we go, rather than sitting in a formal class or training seminar and having what we're "supposed" to know drilled into us. Jay Cross has a great book about it (called Informal Learning) that you might want to check out.

Good luck with your informal education - it sounds like it's serving you well! =)

Re: No Sex In The City

Sarah — Mon, 05 Apr 2004 16:25:11 -0000

I have one question. What's the point?? The whole reason Sex in the City was so popular was because it was different from everything else. Not only will the nudity be taken out but I think changing some of the the sex scenes will change the show. Also, the language used on the show is not exactly something to be shown outside cable. I like the idea os Sex being in syndication but anything outside HBO, Showtime, Cinemax, etc will be just plain weird. Plus, people who watch it on TBS will be VERY surprised if they choose to buy the DVDs of the original. I just don't see the point.

Re: OhGizmo! » Archive » Drag Your Infant Along With The Tote-a-Tot

Sarah — Thu, 29 May 2008 21:41:42 -0000

I find it so strange that Luke finds himself an expert on family travel when he freely admits he has no kids of his own! Hmmm...anyway, I just used the TOTEaTOT and was so impressed that I decided to google it to see what others have to say about it.

That's how I came across Luke's crazy article! His worry about child snatching is ludacris. You're in an airport for goodness sake! There is more security there than practically anywhere! To snatch my child, they have to take the car seat and the suitcase with them! It would be a challenge for a child snatcher! All we had were approving smiles and nods and well wishes from other family travelers and onlookers.

It easily allowed us to bring our car seat on the plane with us. We really wanted our own car seat on the plane and on vacation with us. It was a great solution for us. So much so that even getting off the plane, my daughter fell asleep as we were landing, and we didn't even have to wake her up. We just attached her car seat to the carry-on right in the aisle, and wheeled her off the plane and she kept on sleeping! We were in awe! Try that with any other 'device'! I dare you, Luke! Oh that's right, you don't have any children.

Anyway, the TOTEaTOT completely lived up to its claims. It was great for us and I'd recommend it. Thanks for reading!

No, Jaime, I literally joined for work. We have the Books for a Better Life event and one of the committee members works for Shelfari. He has created a Books for a Better Life profile we have to be friends with. If it wasn't for that I would belong to neither. I was content with my Amazon system. :)

Still! Great start... Glad the neck is better. Either way it is more than I do. Florentina was proud of me tonight though...I was working so hard my leg was shaking as I held it up. If I'm not sore tomorrow, I'm going to need additional fit stuff. Poker, eh? What instigated that? How was the Shrimp Scampi?

This dress fits well too. It seems a little more casual. Keep both if you can...otherwise return this one. If that is R's apartment it looks pretty sweet. I'd be sad to give it up too.

Anyway, Jenny's preferred date is the first Thursday. I'm not trying to be difficult! I just think it might interfere with my being helpful and/or in place when you want me to be on time. The week of the event, I worked until 10 or after most nights that week and didn't have time for emailing event. ;)

I don't know where you asked, V, but seeing Ashwin was fine. We had dinner then went to his friends and hung out playing Asshole and such. We'll probably hang out again sometime. In the Southern gentleman way, he paid for dinner and the cab uptown to his friends (conveniently 2 blocks from home).

White is mostly just a basic. Is the skirt okay?

Thank you for looking :)

Happy Birthday again Baby Doll! This is such an amazing post, you still know how to bring a tear to my eye whether it's your words, your singing or your writing. I LOVE the canvas quote it's beyond words fantastic! You never cease to amaze me in your resilience at life and perspective and you never cease to teach me life lessons. I continue to thank God for having you in my life and wish I could wave a hand to wipe away the years we have lost to being busy with life and not making time for each other. I would give anything to go back to college and dance the night away with you again! As for my best birthday gift it has to be my 29th birthday when I found out the baby I was carrying had a heartbeat, finally! After 3 losses it was complete elation to finally have a heart beat. My husband surprised me with the ultrasound on the table next to my favorite ice cream cake. Then to make the story even better, Patience, Steve & Cooper came over the next day for left over cake. Of course we weren't telling anyone yet based on our unfortunate history but Cooper walked into the guest room to get a book from the collection we had started for our first baby that we lost and turned to me and said "so when is the baby due". Tom and I were at a lost for words and just started crying. Ironically Tom and Patience also share the same birthday. Ode to the Frankl's, God's gift to us all . . . =-O

Whoa girlfriend that's a ridiculous response to a knock on the ceiling - it was made even worse in my mind after reading Suze's post about the raucous sex. OMG! However once again you amaze me with your ability to turn clearly an attack on you to a reflection upon yourself and life lessons/observations. All of which are so true. As a mother I resolve to never act that way in front of my child (okay my irish temper really can't say I've never overreacted to a situation)but more importantly to teach my children the most important lesson in this post which is to not judge others. Sending you a big hug and lots of love, Sarah

Re: My road to reason - Testimonies of Ex-Christians

Sarah — Mon, 13 Feb 2006 14:15:00 -0000

Rob,

Fascinating testimony. I had a similar experience. I read an astronomy book as a child. The book discussed the history of astronomy. It started by describing the creation myths of a few different cultures. This hit me like a ton of bricks.

I had naively always assumed that the garden of eden was the only one. It was the first time I realised that there were peoples who held completely different beliefs.

I also enjoy reading about science. The more I learn about science the more illogical religion seems. I read recently that a human and a fly are about 60% the same genetically. I was also reading recently about extremophiles, which are organisms that can live in extreme environments, such as extreme hot/cold, or crushing pressures in the oceans. I can't help but ask if God exists why did he create such organisms. What is their purpose? It just seems to me that there are a lot of things on this planet that are just here unnecessarily if you hold the view that a creator being made the world. They are understandable from a scientific point of view, but not from a religious point of view.

Sounds like a good plan for Wednesday. What time do you want to meet? 5:45 or 6? I haven't been that busy lately at work.

At least we aren't eating real ice cream, V. Then you would be really jealous! If I recall you don't like pinkberry, so I doubt you would like most of these. Forgot about Flirt, which is another pinkberry competitor.

Re: Starry eyed

I still like stars, although I'm not as crazy about wearing them all the time. My fave is the Charlotte Russe top, surprisingly; it is the most subtle.

The bracelet is similar, but more neutral (if you wear silver).

Tastebook is neat... For now I like my more personal, and admittedly, more junk method.

Re: Starry eyed

Sarah — Wed, 09 Jul 2008 10:45:00 -0000

Kate Moss even did a piece or two with her Topshop collection, YSL has a huge, chunky necklace with them, and
Chanel did pieces with them.

They might be in style. Either way, I think there are people who will always consider wearing them. Also! Remember Keira Knightly's hair clips in Atonement were stars.

I didn't get into sunflowers and I was late to the game on stars I guess as my obsessions ran from 2000 until 2005 roughly. If early 90s comes back full force maybe I can get the boot Doc Martens I always dreamed of!

I am running the following programs to try to track down and destroy the related files: Spybot, CClean, AdAware, and AVG. PAINFUL! Don't know where I got it from either...

Matt Oz tried to fix it. Jim talked me through Spybot on the phone. Matt will be back up in 2 weeks and is going to help me just do a fresh install of the Operating System etc.

Re: I’m in love

Sarah — Mon, 14 Jul 2008 09:55:00 -0000

One way to get the applications, at least around WiFi, would be getting the iPhone Touch instead of the Nano. Just thought of that this weekend when chatting with Matt and watching him play with the new version of the iPhone. He liked UrbanSpoon a lot!

Re: "Broken" Computer

I know removing everything and doing a fresh install is better. I don't have a method to back up my music, pictures, etc. though... Matt offered to bring a device for that (around 50 GB) and take care of it when he is in the city anyway...

Re: 2 birds, 1 stone

Sarah — Mon, 14 Jul 2008 14:01:00 -0000

I don't know if I want to spend on an iPod touch when the Nano probably suits my needs. Then again Touch can function as a PDA type device, I think.

I also would love a laptop though I can justify it right now either. Best things in life are free? Really?

Re: 2 birds, 1 stone

Yay! Early riser...

I consider full business, i.e. business formal, to be an actual suit. I wanted to avoid wearing a suit jacket since it will be 90ish.

I definitely planned to ask her how she came to work for Fox doing what she does... I don't know if telling her I'm not sure what I want to do will fly. She liked working with me before and I don't want to tarnish that.

I'm sure it will turn out fine...

Re: Cupcake debate « Sarah and Friends

I never got around to writing about Magnolia, but I did write about my impression of Crumbs.

I had an Oreo Chocolate Cupcake from there last year sometime and it was REALLY good. But I wasn't wild about their plain vanilla and that is how I judge cupcakes quality. I think it is the hardest one to perfect b/c you can taste every aspect.

The lunch came about b/c she told me to keep in touch when I left Polly's in January. I emailed in April saying hi/asking if we could get together when I came to DC next to discuss more about her role at Fox, etc. She enthusiastically replied and I followed up once the next trip was scheduled. We are just "catching up."

Unless there are lull's I will probably let the conversation flow. I am curious about that though, obviously, since I can't get stuck out of the part of event planning I am in. I think she has been there a LONG time.

Re: Here’s Hoping You Check Your Email Before I Go To Work (As Usual) « Sarah and Friends

It went well! She is very sweet. Wanted to dish about how awful Polly was and try figure out what was going on there. I tried to be diplomatic, which is hard. Definitely intrigued about working with me...because of...wait for it...my amazing list skills. I swear! But I am committed to NYC through next July at least. Wants me to set up a meeting with Michael in the next couple weeks to chat with him. The restaurant was good, though not exactly what I expected.

She was drawn to DC because of Politics. She worked on a Bush campaign, then worked on broadcast news stuff for Fox. While doing that she ended up handling the WH correspondent's dinner, etc... and fell into the position she is now.

Drunken networker. Love it!

To clarify, I don't mean high-end, avante garde designers realy. I mean the BCBG, Rebecca Taylor, Vivienne Tam, etcs. Their clothing is tailored - it has a waist! - and interesting details that less expensive clothes don't have. It is all about the quality of the fabric, the trim, the matching buttons, etc...

She said it quietly, but I think the first one... When she was younger. She has been at Fox for quite a while.

List management more than list making... The inescapable part of my job. If you really want to know more we can discuss in person sometime.

If I want to move to DC, I will certainly tell her. There is some chance we will work out a way for me to help them at the start of 2009 from NYC. We'll see...

She also photographs weddings.

I think any of them will be beautiful. Don't act too excited or you'll have less room to negotiate. If you are eating a meal in Richmond, you should consider saying hi to my parents...

Did Jaime send one? You saw Lauren's...

You don't really have to send one notifying people other than to people who might get upset. I mostly wanted to know if I could tell random people in conversation without getting in trouble (ex. like Laura, my Mom, Kim, Jeff...).

You could just say that you and Rafe are engaged and plan to get married via a private ceremony sometime before 2009 and that a public celebration with friends may occur in the future?

Re: It’s official « Sarah and Friends

Re: It’s official « Sarah and Friends

Sarah — Wed, 23 Jul 2008 09:50:00 -0000

I think some people do have hair free legs/other parts, but I don't think it has to do with nationality specifically.

I've gone twice Chessa and the "results" are spotty. It is definitely growing back thinner though still growing back. In spite of a mild tan, I am still going in next week for my third treatment. Not looking forward to it.

It basically feels like an electric shock - and when that happened once as a child with a light socket I didn't like it.

Re: Gorgeous Fabric « Sarah and Friends

Re: My turn to cook « Sarah and Friends

That isn't the way you want that area to get hot and tingly. ;)

Re: Gorgeous Fabric « Sarah and Friends

Sarah — Wed, 23 Jul 2008 13:02:00 -0000

So framed panels or something that doesn't require cleaning or have the potential for spills is the best. Too bad I can't afford them in the first place.

I agree C&B has lots of good ideas for homemade professional looking stuff.

Re: Laser Hair Removal « Sarah and Friends

Sarah — Wed, 23 Jul 2008 13:15:00 -0000

Vika: Wait, what is this about laser removal???

Sarah: Impulsive, self-indulgent and actually semi-regretted decision a while ago. It is how I used my tax refunds/stimulus check...

Vika: OMG! I want laser hair removal. Where are you getting it? You don't like it?

Sarah: Where I always said I would bikini. I'm not sure how I feel about it. I've only gone twice... It is expensive. I'm concerned about a whole collection of issues in that area now, so I wonder about the wise-ness of having that done. I didn't even ask how they cleaned things to make them sanitary. I don't know.

Chessa: Anyway... Sarah, I'm in the middle of my laser hair removal too (taking off the summer just in case I get a hint of a tan, which probably won't happen), and for the most part I'm pleased with it, except I feel like I had a big result after the first treatment, and not a big one after the second treatment, and now since I'm takinga few months off, its growing back just as fast as before, and maybe just a little bit thinner.

HOWEVER... my mom pretty much has done her entire body (legs, underarms, biking line), and she's super happy with the results. I'm jealous at how smooth her legs are.

Jaime: I'm pretty sure lasers heat up everything so they're sanitized...Chessa's had that done, you may want to ask her.

Sarah: I must have been embarrassed about purchasing that if I didn't tell either of you... Maybe I'll ask Chessa. Just don't feel like I know her that well.

Jaime: Mike's mom says that she has naturally hair-free, super smooth legs because she's Asian. I think she's lying. *squints eyes in envy*

Sarah: I think some people do have hair free legs/other parts, but I don't think it has to do with nationality specifically.

I've gone twice Chessa and the "results" are spotty. It is definitely growing back thinner though still growing back. In spite of a mild tan, I am still going in next week for my third treatment. Not looking forward to it.

It basically feels like an electric shock - and when that happened once as a child with a light socket I didn't like it.

Jaime: Wow that sounds like sooo much fun.

I did something similar- there was an electric fence by my babysitter's house, and my babysitter's daughter told me to touch it with my finger. Instead of tapping it I hooked my finger on it because I didn't know any better...she had to pull me off of it. Still remember the feeling.

I think nationalities do have something to do with it; I mean some types of people are hairier than others...insert inappropriate joke here. Email me if you want to hear it!

Sarah: Yeah. Not particularly fun.

I think nationality has some effect, but it isn't the only thing. :)

Chessa: Sarah... I went in for a bikini line treatment and SHE DID THE WHOLE THING. I didn't stop her b/c I figure it would at least thin it out.

I've never been in so much pain in my life. It was worse than a brazillian wax

Vika:Did anyone stick scissors into an outlet? Just wondering...

Jaime: Wondering if we're retarded or if there's something else that explains our strange behavior? lol.

Vika: Haha, something like that :)

Re: Laser Hair Removal « Sarah and Friends

Sarah — Wed, 23 Jul 2008 13:16:00 -0000

See. I am basically getting the whole thing done and HOLY HECK it hurts. I think I wouldn't be so skeptical if it was just normal bikini...

My shock came from turning on Christmas Candles in our windows when I was little. The current traveled up through the bulb. It really hurt.

Re: Laser Hair Removal « Sarah and Friends

Sarah — Wed, 23 Jul 2008 14:08:00 -0000

If I have more money at some point, I'll probably do underarms. Legs aren't so bad at this point, although annoying.

Kim had a much better deal than I did. Don't know what is up w/ that. Her WHOLE deal, which yes she loves, cost only a bit more than my one region. *grimace* I didn't feel comfortable asking her how much she paid in advance and I should have.

Yep. I'm guessing they said it would be highboys, etc. spread around? You would only possibly need centerpieces on a welcome table/any buffets/drop tables whatever...

If you want to have seats (for older people), you might want to mark the table/seats as "reserved" and let them know in advance. Otherwise, lazy people like me might sit down. :)

The boxers sounds sleek.

I think Sizzliiiii is different than tingly. Tingly is shorter and perkier.

Let me know what you expect from me for the weekend you are up here... ;)

Re: Tree Branch and Other Centerpieces « Sarah and Friends

Sarah — Wed, 23 Jul 2008 23:09:00 -0000

You mark the chairs with reserved signs or ribbons or something and inform select parties that they are who they are reserved for. You don't have to say why and everyone else will, hopefully, see reserved and not sit down.

Highboys, hi-tops whatever... The tall tables at bars.

Re: um. « Sarah and Friends

Sarah — Tue, 29 Jul 2008 12:57:00 -0000

Right. Yes, they did. I believe the cruise was initially just us, but I think he ended up inviting Elizabeth and Megan. Dinner though probably would just be us?

I'm not sure. The whole thing is a bit of a blur. I need to review the extensive texting we did after they dropped me off on their way home. He insisted on taking me home via cab from Bryant Park, even though they all list in Sunnyside/Astoria.

All of it didn't seem so unreasonable last night, but today it seems like more of a bad idea. I was very unhappy about the similar situation w/ J this Fall and I wasn't aware of the girl. Not sure how to retract either though.

Why waste time? Because he is charming and I'm intrigued by him. My friends say he is a good guy. I believe them. Besides, it wouldn't be any different than wasting time with J.

No MMMMMMMM drinking.

Re: Cardboard Cats « Sarah and Friends

They can't stop people from giving them gifts. They can just request it.

Moxie, the little one... She got some common cat virus, which would have been okay except she was a rare case where it mutated. I can't remember the details.

Re: um. « Sarah and Friends

Sarah — Tue, 29 Jul 2008 14:30:00 -0000

I don't think she is aware from what I gathered last night. Sounds like he isn't sure...she is older and putting on the pressure b/c she wants to have some kids soon.

I wish this was simple and I could just be excited that someone I was intrigued by wants to take me out dressed up. He just texted me.

Apparently I broke up his flirting by tacking on a statement of general displeasure about the budget deficit last night. Gosh I'm cool.

Recalling each time I thought MB and I were "dating" in college only to discover he was in relationship with someone else, I have canceled. Something along the lines of "I'd love to but the circumstances aren't right. I've been in your girl's shoes... I'll see you for the other fun though." He'll be out Friday/Saturday where I will be. But I am bummed. I do think he is a good, interesting guy.

Guys aren't ready for commitment until they are. I know it sounds like I am, but I'm not too worried about settling down yet. I'd love the regular attention, affection and companionship that comes for a relationship but... *shrug* Meeting somewhere here, where I don't plan to stay forever, is rather pointless anyway.

Re: um. « Sarah and Friends

First, Did you vote for NMSS on the facebook thing I posted? If not, please do. It doesn't cost anything and the application isn't permanent.

Yes, I think it is wrong to go on a date with someone who is dating someone else. I get the misdemeanor/felony bit but yeah wrong is wrong. It hurts the other party, who might think they are exclusive. It cheapens the whole situation and creates doubt about your future prospects. That is why I declined, although it was/is hard to make that decision when I would otherwise be interested in exploring it.

Not that he is aware, but I know have created a pressured situation. I shouldn't have mentioned it, because now if he ever is single and I go out with him people are going to think of this and have a bad impression.

He initially invited me to join him for a drinking/night cruise around Manhattan. Then he added a dinner before. He also invited E&M to the cruise that same night, after inviting me.

Re: um. « Sarah and Friends

It is a poll. They are aiming to get an audience for the product, which I have no intention of using as I don't even barely gchat. If people view it, then the promotion serves its purpose.

Yeah, if they break up at some point and we go out it will be fine hopefully or it could just involve too many expectations making it awkward. Suggesting that someone break up with someone else to go on one date with you is weird. Whatever. I don't want to talk about it anymore.

I went to the Department of Labor. This is an overtime issue not an issue of unpaid wages; I know because I called and discussed that issue with them once already.

From going down there this morning, I do have the form I would need to file with the DOL to have them investigate my claim...the gentleman I saw said it would be more productive to go through Small Claims Court as long as it was less than 5,000. He wouldn't look at my invoice or he would have known better.

I love you guys, but if this turns into a dinner full of couples (beyond the 4 of you) and me, I will be meeting you after for drinks. That isn't any more appealing than having one extra guy. I don't even like big group meals in the first place because you can't actually catch up with more than the people beside you. Might seem childish, but I have reasons that I feel are valid.

I did have trouble swallowing the pill this morning for the first time. Maybe I gulped lots of air with it? I do feel achy though. Probably fine. :)

Jaime, remember how last night she said my prescription was for 100 mg? I went to the Dr's today for an issue with my finger and it is DEFINITELY 150 mg. I had the guy reprint it for proof.

I have to take a different antibiotic for the next 7-10 days for my finger. Then I can go back to Doryx. I hope this doesn't mess up the plan too much!

There are better candidates who are more electable in a general election as people who remain open to listening to all the candidates will discover for themselves.

Jimmy, You made a good point, except for the gross exaggeration that Canadians are taxed 70%. Not even close, Jimmy! The highest income tax is paid by people who earn over $105,000 per year - they can be taxed a maximum of 29% of their income. This pays for all the things Canadian citizens enjoy: subsidized university education, excellent public schools, libraries, cops, electricity, free medical care for all, etc etc. I think you had a really strong point without making up stories about my country!

Re: Ralph Reed to Jim Wallis: Rejecting the Liberal “Straw Man”

Sarah — Tue, 19 Sep 2006 15:30:44 -0000

I believe Reed's statistic is more rough than you would like, but let's not make it a straw man. Here are some hard numbers: The number of live births each year (in recent years) has been about 4 million, and the number of abortions has been about 1.3 million per year. I don't see any evidence that Reed is "spinning the numbers", and this is in fact exactly the frustration many of us feel when, in order to push on other agenda items (like foreign policy) the issue of abortion is minimized. Why does the Christian left want to do this? Why can't they care about both?

I should also note, I don't know many pro-life people who believe in a one-pronged strategy of simply changing the law -- most of them believe firmly in the central role of education to improve peoples' respect for the unborn. This again is a false dichotomy that someone brought up on this blog.>

My Dad was 9 when these words were added. His (lapsed) Catholic mother had married a Baptist man a few years earlier and remembers that religion was a bit of a joke in his house at the time. "Mom would go get dunked and we'd go to the Baptist church. Then a few months later, we'd stop going and then in a couple more months we'd be back at St. Whozits." So, adding "under God" meant absolutely nothing - - it was more of a mockery to a confused 9 year old at the time.

While I like #4 above, I don't think I could say it with a straight face. In fact, when my cousin suggested that an appropriate gift for his 2 yr old daughter was a donation to her college fund, I wished that I could have strangled him over the phone. I'm sure he didn't mean to offend, but it did. Why should I be asked to pay for her college? And, why should the girl be deprived of a gift at age 2 (instead of waiting 'til 18)?

That's just so sad isn't it? There is absolutely no sense of security or whatsoever back home when it comes to anything to do with the cops. I am living in Australia now and let me relate a story to you. I had a friend who was robbed at her house and she lost a couple of things including a laptop. We made a report, they came almost immediately to take the finger prints etc. And then, 2 days later the inspector called her and told her to come and pick her laptop up cos it has been found! The best part is, 4 months later that guy was charged for robbery.

I was so amazed that they actually found the laptop and then charged the person!! But that's only because we come from Malaysia and this will NEVER happen there. No effort will be put in and if they EVER find the laptop, it will never be returned to you. After reports are made, I doubt they even look at it anymore. They're probably just filed up and end of story.

Re: Conversation with Molly Aley Part 1- Bodies and Aging

Sarah — Mon, 18 Aug 2008 18:19:00 -0000

I have to agree with Mollie and Emily. At almost 36, and after 2 kids, my body definitely does not look like it did at 21. But I am so much more comfortable with it now than I was 15 years ago. That confidence comes from within, because of all that I have experineced and the ways my character has grown, but it certainly affects how I view the ouside. Sure, I wish I could get those extra (ummmm, let's say 30) pounds off. But my son loves to bury his face in my tummy and believes with all his heart that "fat tummy" (his words, not mine) is a compliment. My husband loves the fact that my skin is soft and appreciates (as do I) what those extra pounds have done to my top half. True, my 21 year old self would have been horrified at my thighs... and I can't exactly claim to smile when I see those. But that's probably because I didn't earn them through difficult childbirth, just through not enough self control in the food department. But then again, the honest truth is that I really enjoy food and don't want to be one of those girls who can't go out with friends without counting every calorie.

All of that being said, I do very much enjoy putting makeup on and dressing this less than perfect body as flatteringly as possible. When I do that, I like what I see on the ouside. I feel like an attractive 35 year old woman. One who has lived through more trauma than my naive 21 year old self could have ever imagined. But I still care enough about life and myself to put the effort in to look good. But not so much effort that it becomes my entire focus. I want to look like the best me that I possibly can. So... I will probably cover my grey when I get some. But I won't have plastic surgery. I will try to take care of myself without obsessing.

I also believe this issue affects our families. I believe that when I look my best (working with what I have, as stated above) it not only makes my husband happy, but it is a good reflection of him when we are out in public. While I do mostly do it for myself (he loves long hair, but I have short because I love it) I do really care about how others perceive him, and want him to be seen with an attractive wife.

How we view our bodies, particularly how we talk about them, also has a most profound affect on our children, especially our daughters. My daughter died at age 9, but in those few short years I was careful to never speak about my body in a bad way in front of her. I tried to show her that she was beautiful just the way that she was, and that I felt beautiful in my own skin. But she also witnessed me taking care of the way that I looked. I even left Ellie with her grandma in the hospital once during her chemo to get my hair cut. I tried to show her that I was still taking care of my own needs. (And while this is different for everyone, getting my hair cut has always been a big deal to me.) Ellie had many moments of insecurity over losing her hair, but I will always remember one time. She was walking down the streets of New York City with her bald head held high, swinging her skinny little arms, dodging between the people. She didn't care who was looking (and they were looking) She felt beautiful. And she was.

Re: Sarah Palin- Integrating Work and Home

Sarah — Tue, 09 Sep 2008 00:09:00 -0000

Wow! This has been an interesting comment thread...

I so appreciated Dale's comments because I was just thinking about the fact that we are so confined by the way we live in our society. Living in large family groups would change all of this. Because most people don't live that way (and our whole society isn't set up to function that way), I think that we really do need to have a LOT of grace for each other in this parenting arena. Each and every family and employment situation is so unique. To me, what it boils down to is that we have to make the most of a very imperfect framework. Because so much time has passed since sin entered the world, our job as parents has become unbelievably complicated and difficult.

I personally do not believe that it is even possible for parents in today's world to be completely fulfilled or to bring up children without some serious sacrifices. And I think that because we ourselves are sinful, we all have some pretty big blind spots. I think that when we love each other and our children, and most importantly, God, we simply rely on Him to do the best that we can with what we have.

I never knew how selfish I was until I had children. Seriously. My only dream in life was to have children and stay home with them. But it was not like anything I had imagined. I was good at some aspects of child rearing, but I was really bad at others. I honestly can't say that I have ever felt "fulfilled" by the job of raising my two children. But I never pursued working outside the home because I knew that I would have completely lost the little sanity that I had left. I wasn't able to think of a viable way to make it work. I would have ended up needing to leave my kids with people that I didn't trust enough, and work at a job that I didn't love enough, and then still come home to do the work that I really didn't love at all, and then squeeze in some kind of quality time with my kids. (I'm not saying that this is what other mom's lives look like who work outside of the home. I'm saying that it was all that I had open to me in that scenario given my skills, income and location, etc.) So I chose to stay home because it was the best option for myself and my family. What really helped the whole situation was that I did have trusted friends and family who would help out enough for me to get some great creative outlets. That restored the balance that was lacking in my life and helped me be a much happier mommy.

That phase of life changed when our daughter was diagnosed with cancer. For nearly a whole year, our son was taken care of by his grandparents while Ellie was in treatment. It broke our hearts to spend so much time away from Ethan (who was three and four years old during that year) but it was what we had to do. Honestly, we have been so pleased with how Ethan has done. His grandparents were so loving and took way better care of him than we ever could have while juggling Ellie's needs. His suffering ended up far less than it could have.

Our situation now is different than it has ever been. Ellie died, so now we only have our little Ethan. But now we live on a property with Ethan's two great aunts, a great uncle, and a great grandmother. Living in this way has given me a whole new glimpse into what God may have planned for us. Yes, we are still to leave our parents and cleave to our spouse... my husband, son and I live in our own house. But we all share so much of the burden of work - cooking, cleanup, yard work, errand running, shopping, driving Ethan to and from Kindergarten. It is AMAZING. Ethan learns different things from each person and noone feels burdened by a heavy weight of work and responsibility. John and I make the decisions regarding Ethan's care, but others play a huge part in his day to day care. And I still stay home, because quite frankly, the only options that I have for outside the home work are not nearly as enjoyable or creative as my home life is right now. And now I don't worry and feel guilty because I'm not meeting each of Ethan's needs. There is someone there to pick up where I am weak and someone else to help me see things that I am missing because I was only looking through my own grid. It may not always be a perfect situation, but it has been wonderful in so many ways. (I am not even trying to point to this as being the ideal for everyone. Our culture and society are just not set up for this to become the "norm". But it has opened my eyes to a different way - and for us, a very good way.)

In all of this, there are three things I have learned.

1. Until this world ends and we live in the perfect one that God has for our future, parenting will carry incredible challenges and sacrifices no matter how you do it.

2. I can trust God to lead and guide in my family. And I can trust Him to lead and guide in other families. He is the only common denominator that any of us have.

3. The only thing that can bring me true fulfillment is my relationship with Christ. Seeking fulfillment in any other thing - whether it be children, job or even spouse - will always bring disappointment.

Re: Go Into Debt For World Missions

Sarah — Tue, 03 Apr 2007 18:40:00 -0000

My initial reaction is "How bizarre!" What's strange to me here is that only 1% of your consumer transactions will go to mission work. Well, if we want to give - we should just give (instead of as a side-note of our own selfish consumerism).

I don't know, I guess 1% is better than nothing. But when your giving to people in such extreme poverty via your extravagent first-world lifestyle, something just doesn't seem Christlike about that to me. If you really want to make a difference, sponsor a child in a third world country, don't go shopping at the mall! C'mon!

Re: Whitewashing Jihad in the Schools

Sarah — Wed, 04 Apr 2007 18:35:00 -0000

I have two thoughts on this. First, secular school and community leaders are intimidated by Muslim groups and are afraid that if they run these 'scenarios' with Muslim 'bad guys', they will be accused of stereotyping, prejudice and hate. They assume, that since our nation was founded on Christianity, the only non-offensive (to minority groups) thing to do is make the bad guys Christian. Okay, but why not secular radicals?

This is crazy, of course, that they are running these drills with Christian culprits - there is an obvious anti-Christian ring to it all. What I think is even more crazy is that the public school system is running these fear-driving, far-out in left field drills in the first place! The actual chances of a school needing this kind of preparation is like one a million. (I think there is an all-terror-all-the-time epidemic running rampant in America right now). It's insanity that we are subjecting our children to this kind of fear and paranoia. It reminds me of the nuclear bomb drills - duck and cover. But worse. I guess, now that the Cold War is over, we've got to find somebody else that's "Out to get us." I'm not saying the threat is non-existant. I just think it is blown WAY, WAY out of proportion! (That's my opinion anyway, take it for what it's worth.)

Don't you just love the great rain.

we had almost 4 inches of rain all together from teh 23rd, 25th, and 26th of May. Although on the 23rd it hailled also, and we were in the camper out at the lake and by the time we realized it hit, it has to late to bail out. We bailled out on the 25th when the wind picked up though. It took 4 wheel drive to get the camper out of the mud, adn where we park our camper looked like a lake.

We think it is going to rain here today, and if it ends up being like the storms we have had th elast 2 weeks, then there will be tornadoes in teh area. Over Memorial Day weekend, there were 89tornadoes spotted in Kansas. CRAZY!!!! And it really sucks when you have satellite and the wind picks up because then we can't watch the storms because the wind knocks out our satellite.

Whoever you talked to at the board must be confused because they definitely have some people's scores. It's a big state, maybe they just haven't released them all yet.

Phew!! Another GA AUD score poster!! Now I feel better. I was getting nervous I was the only one and it wasn't real!

Re: CPA Exam Score Release Predictions - April/May Window - Wave 1

Sarah — Wed, 20 May 2009 18:39:19 -0000

“Illinois posted 78% of FAR scores. I took my test April 1st. I didn’t receive my score in this wave does that mean I am borderline?” <---- Not at all. My friend took Reg on Jan 7th last window and didn't receive her score in wave 1 and then received it in wave 2 with a 95. And I know for three other people that made 85s! Don't stress yourself out about it.

Re: CPA Exam Score Release Predictions - April/May Window - Wave 1

Sarah — Wed, 20 May 2009 19:32:38 -0000

Jeff, do you think CA/IL will release Reg tomorrow? If so, then there is a chance we will get it Friday night for a NASBA state?

Thank you so much for your sweet words--it IS like a sisterhood, isn't it? (And as for the wet books, they don't usually get wet, but sometimes my son pretends he's a dolphin in the tub, or I drop the book completely in the water--which has happened a time or two!)

Welcome to Blogland!! :)

I got my Masters Degree from Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary and Dr. Alvin Reid was/is a professor of Evangelism there. He is an amazing speaker and evangelist. I am so glad that you got to hear him at your church and your son learned from him for a weekend. Very Cool!

Re: In "Other" Words…

These shoes were better suited to professions like the ones we saw in the red light districts we explored in Amsterdam and Brussels...

Mmm...red wine.

You are acquiring a taste for it faster than I did, though. The beauty of discovering alcohol a little later (i.e. after high school/first year) is that you can avoid the years I like to call the "Ernest & Julio Gallo White Zinfandel/Mike's Hard Lemonade WASTELAND".

Yeah...I am not sure why we are the same height in that photo. My guesses are as follows:

- I was wearing flats (saddle shoes, in fact) and you wore a low heel.

- I am standing behind you.

- I am doing my patented 'head tilt for photos'.

Now, the internet can see the one of the guys I dated before Dave and I got together. Woo hoo!

I remember our Kingston trip (serenading my uncle, getting checked out in church, sterilizing mugs into which we'd put your contacts, etc.) when your grandmother died. I was sad for number of good reasons, but also because she would now never get that letter from the Queen for her 100th b-day.

Dave's Nanny's funeral was like the one you described. Poppy's funeral was very sombre -- as Nanny as still alive -- but Nanny's was really a celebration of her life. Truthfully -- I think that's what we all hope for.

AHHHH!! I hate him!!

We lost an entire generation of Canadians in that war -- 60,000, when our population was only 8 million.

In the WWI graveyards I have visited (in Belgium) there was not a single person buried there who had passed his 25th birthday. Truth be told -- the other side were a bunch of kids, too -- and no one knew what they were fighting for.

Don't get me started on the First World War -- and don't make light of it, for fuck's sake.

Mrs. Harper's reaction (as per the picture) seems reasonable, though. I have rarely cried so uncontrollably as I did when I visited the Canadian war dead at Ypres and Paschendaele. It was HEARTBREAKING.

You have identified the reason that Dave and I SUCKED at ballroom dancing -- the "he nees to lead while I dance backwards". He is not a dancer and was nervous, so I overcompensated (and got yelled at by the bitchy teacher) for trying to lead anyway.

Re: I ovulated!

Sarah — Mon, 24 Jul 2006 09:33:00 -0000

I am going against popular opinion and saying: GO LONDON DRUGS!

The reasons are threefold:

a) You will soon be in the US, away from anything OTHER than Starfcuks. It is unlikely that you will be able to use your card in the US, so you'd have to burn it now.

b) You can buy wacky, non-practical stuff at the drug-store, too. Splurge on that crazy thermometer!

c) Starfcuks really, really sucks.

Also -- I am bringing my own popsicles when I come visit. It's not the Australian outback, and I don't need that kind of surprise!

Cool maps!

In terms of my travel goals (no maps, since I have no blog of my own) are:

- visit all Canadian provinces and territories (3 provinces, 3 territories to go)

- ultimately visit all the states but in the meantime, keep the # of states visited above the number of years I've lived (to wit - 30 states, 28 years)

- visit every country on the European land mass (I've hit 29 of the 51 with 3 new ones due next year)

- visit all the continents (yes, even antarctica). I am stalling at 3 there, but I do have a few years ahead.

Though I would have loved receiving calls asking "Hey Sarsh -- which student government boy were you trying to dazzle with our list of random knowledge, John Napier version? And when and WHY did you wear that enormous wooden cross?". Good times."

Congrats on #200, honey! It is always a pleasure to read your blog...it makes me feel like we live closer, and it is reminiscent of our "surreptitious note exchange" all through high school. You'll have to break out a "69 kinkiest..." entry soon!

It's a proud day in the touchyoulast household.

Dave cannot spell the last name of your long lost (and yet, not yet hitched) love, Taylor PYATT. And he is resorting to using the titles of lame, girly self-help books for punchlines.

I blame the cheap, cheap booze. And please wish Erica a happy b-day for me!!

Dude...you stopped drinking pop for two years? Back when you didn't drink alcohol? It must have been tea and coffee city.

What made you reintroduce it?

Back in the day, JWo and I would adapt the KitH song for the Daves we knew. This was when Jen was hot for Daav himself, so those lyrics were very complimentary. My favourite had something to do with Dave, her bus driver who looked like Pierre Trudeau.

You have forgotten one other Dave -- American vegan Dave. Though I should watch it...the last time we mentioned him on your blog it caused a HUGE stir.

Did you ever meet my Dave partner in crime from university -- Dave K-burg? He rocks (and heads up a charity now). When next we're in Vancouver, you might end up meeting the other Dave and Sarah who I know from uni and who live there now...

Also - congrats! Final = good (and about time!!)

Happy Birthday, Danielle!

I look forward to finally meeting you later this month. I hope that you have an amazing day and that this year is your best ever!!

Babe...you can get size A nylons. I have a number of pairs. I am looking at a package now - it is for those 4"10-5"4, 95-130 lbs. I get them in bulk at Costco, in both black and 'nude'...maybe we can hit a Costco when I am out there or when we are in Calgary. It's a great deal - 6 pairs of the 'Silk' sheer nylons for around $20. They're control top, though.
Do you want me to pick some up this weekend and bring them with? Tell me what colour and how many...

Re: Five Somewhat Related Things

Sarah — Thu, 22 Mar 2007 22:00:00 -0000

...and potentially only 7 more sleeps until you get nylons.

See my previous comments, and know that I CANNOT WAIT TO SEE YOU!!!!

It is not just her...Calgary sucked, man. We liked many other parts of Alberta but Calgary...not so much.

Also - BC's official tourism slogan is "British Columbia -- the Greatest Place on Earth". It is hard not to get sucked in by the propaganda machine!

Ummm...spill, please. How do you know about the nastey coffee grounds?

Re: Coffee-ground vomitus

Sarah — Wed, 18 Apr 2007 09:51:00 -0000

Oh babe...I am so sorry. Yuck.
I went through something similar a couple of years ago (I felt like my a hole was being burned into my stomach lining), but it wasn't H. pylori. I can see what meds I was given, though, if you are curious. They helped a bit with the pain, and eventually the pain went away.

Fingers crossed for H. pylori, though. Stupid freaking ulcers.

Re: That Time I Got Paid $20 To Watch Porn

Sarah — Sun, 22 Apr 2007 19:21:00 -0000

Yikes. Nothing like mousy people having passionless sex.

This may sound odd but...I think I'd find married people porn creepy. Stuff like that Faith Hill/Tim McGraw song (they are married in real life, FYI) makes my skin crawl. In the video, they're all grope-y in a park, singing about all the sexy things they're going to do to each other all night "until all their strength is gone...". It makes my skin crawl.

Now - are they targetting this study to middle-aged women? Because my Mom might prefer married lady porn.

Ask Dave about catching HIS Mom and their friends watching porn one evening...

Ahh...Cowtown. Everyone I have talked to in Ottawa about my experience (mostly people originally from Montreal, Toronto, St. John's and a good number from Edmonton and Calgary itself) understand our disappointment with the city. Maybe it's because we didn't go for Stampede...
Go 'Nucks, go. Let's hope that they aren't too exhausted tonight.

I miss you!! I am watching the Canuck game on the computer and reading your blog archives (I figure that you are out, watching the game).

Phone date soon, k?

Go 'nucks, go!

P.S. I am encouraging Dave to write a blog entry about the parental porn. Fingers crossed that he'll write it soon...

Beth,

The only two concerts that we have been to together were listed (BNL and Depeche Mode). Dave was at both, actually. It was the DM concert at which the "Security Line -- Do not cross" picture was taken. Back when I was dating the one with whom you went to see J&MC.;

Were there not any free concerts at Mac? If you REALLY want to stretch it, we have seen Joe's Garage a couple of times at the Roxy...

Re: Much Overdo Blogroll Update

Sarah — Sun, 13 May 2007 19:45:00 -0000

I noticed the update! I was like "Who the F is Imogen?" I have been compulsively checking ever since. Should I leave a congratulatory comment, explaining that a) I am your friend who met Lori years ago and b) how excited I am for them?

P.S. My security word is pvaan. Yeah Van!

Re: What Cell Phone Company Should I Go With?

Sarah — Sun, 13 May 2007 19:49:00 -0000

I have had really good luck with Telus. Great customer service, and I have never had trouble getting a Telus signal when I am in Vancouver. They don't seem to have the same perks as Fido, though.

If I were you, I would check out the big 4 (Rogers, Fido, Telus, Bell) to see which offer you the best plans while restricting your area. Since you spend most of your time in the GVR, you can often find a plan that will give you tonnes of perks (like unlimited anytime calling) if you are mostly within city limits. The calls from out of range would be more than if you had another plan, but the savings for your calls in Vancouver would more than make up for it.

Or - you could see if they will give you deals if you bundle with your Internet...

Re: Things I Didnt Know Before I Went to the Finger 11 Concert Last Night

Ahh...the Rainbow Butt Monkeys...

We saw Finger 11 a couple years ago at Edgefest and enjoyed the heck out of them. I am glad that your concert total now = 7.

Best band to come out of Winnipeg = The Weakerthans. Love.Love.LOVE.
