Keep Swimming!!

So there was no rapture. Unless EVERYONE I know was also left behind. And that's just not possible because I know people who have seen Soul Surfer like 3 times! Okay, maybe I'm being bad, but you know what I mean. There is a lot I want to say about this you know, but I feel maybe I would bore you. Bottom line I've come up with, the Christian life is not an easy one to lead. Sometimes our lives get so complicated, difficult, convoluted, and just plain screwed up that we will pray fervently for, then believe in, the easy out. For this group of poorly-led people the rapture would be the easy out (they are obviously pre-trib believers). So now that Saturday has come and gone we have to add these people to our already lengthy prayer list. And I personally will hope that someone takes that man off the radio! Let's not give him the chance for a third strike (his first was back in '94)! So we all have to keep swimming. Maybe someday we'll all learn to swim together in the right direction.

So off of the heavy! Mom, X and I went yard saling yesterday! X is becoming a pro at it! I think in the last two weeks he's spent about $3 or so and has many new games, cars, toys and so on to show for his efforts. Keeps him busy in the car while we look for the next place anyway! My big score came at a place getting rid of some girly clothes. There was this dress. I bought my first frilly dress! It's size 18mos, and there was only one, but I could not resist! I have about 2 years to find a second equally wonderful dress to wear at some fabulous ball or something! 2 other ladies came to the yard sale while mom and I were going through all the clothes. Since it was mostly baby stuff at this yard sale, the conversation was obviously baby-oriented, so that I am currently pregnant with twins came up. One of the ladies got SUPER excited and said "OH! TOUCH ME!!!" I thought, why not? So there I am in the middle of a stranger's garage in an embrace with another stranger trying to send twin vibes into her womb!! Sometimes, when they're not totally weird, I love crazy strangers.

Today we went back to the Alliance church. For the first few minutes I was there I thought maybe somehow they had gotten wind of my blog! No less than 4 people warmly greeted us as we entered the building! But after that we were ignored again. Ah well. X wanted us to go back because of the kids program, but alas, there was none today. The special speaker was a pro motocross racer though and he had videos, so it wasn't a total loss for my 5 year old boys boy! Apparently next week my mom is using the power of veto and we are going to a church where there are zero children, but the people WILL talk to us! We'll see if that works any better. We'll probably be back at the Alliance church the next week!

Have a happy day off tomorrow! I know I'm sleeping in!!!!!
