Expelled

We watched this documentary tonight and it was extremely interesting. Last Sunday our Pastor talked about idols we have and how we react when those idols are threatened. We get angry at anyone that questions or disagrees with us and that is what these evolutionists/Darwinists are doing to those that are presenting the theory of Intelligent Design. Our pastor also talked about the Pharisees and how they built a "fence" around the Old Testament law by making all these other rules to protect the original law. It's similar to what these Darwinists have done. It also made me wonder if this is possibly how religious persecution will enter into the US. If we are considered idiots for believing in God who's to say that we wouldn't be exterminated (although I truly believe that Christianity cannot be exterminated) for the "good of mankind"? My husband tells me that's a pretty far fetched and maybe it is but I don't know.

Reading

"Clothing bears witness to the fact that we have lost the glory and beauty or our original sin-free selves. It confesses that we need a covering-His covering-to atone for our sin and alleviate our shame. It testifies to the fact that God solved the problem of shame permanently and decisively with the blood of His own Son."

Super Cilantro Pillow Bowl

Yesterday was a really great church service. The pastor talked about religion and idolatry and I've realized that I've placed something that I've wanted my entire life too high and it's quite possible that I've made it an idol in my life.

Yesterday was also salsa making and a super bowl party.

I love cilantro. I'm not sure if I love it because of my love of Mexican food or if I love Mexican food because of it's abundance of cilantro.

Tonight I finally finished a birthday present for my sister-in-law. A crocheted pillow with her sorority letters on it. Other than the middle letter being a little wonky I'm pretty pleased with how it turned out.

Wrestling & Golf

Tonight involved going to the Iowa vs Indiana wrestling meet and then some card games with one of Pat's classmates and his wife.
I never thought I would be remotely interested in watching boys wrestle each other but it's actually quite exciting. I am well on my way to becoming a full fledged Hawkeye.

No Facebook February

A friend of mine proposed the idea of making February a no facebook month. I jumped on that bandwagon somewhat hesitantly as I have a slight addiction; mostly to solitaire. I haven't really used this blog for anything so I'm thinking I'll try and post what I've done with my time that would have otherwise been used to play some type of solitaire or bingo. It's now the 3rd of the month and I'll be honest in the fact that I haven't really done anything productive. I'm hoping using this blog will challenge me to change that. I'm in a Bible study at church and we've been given a media reduction challenge so this came at a pretty good time.

Here's what happened with tonight:





Not exactly productive. I'll try to do better.
