Things are good, I love where I'm living now, I started a new job recently that is great, and the pay is really good, but it's only part-time, not that many hours. (the hours will double in the summer) I work every other week, so I either have to get a second job, or do something else that will bring the income I need, if I plan on saving the money to go to Europe to take that ywam class i've been talking about.

Good news is, my sister might be going back to work, part-time, for 6 weeks, so she said I could work for her, babysitting, and it will work around my schedule, which would be great. :)

So overall things are going well.... but this schedule (only working every other week) has been making me lazy! I have so much stuff I have to do, that I've been putting off, and I need a kick in the pants to do those things, or be delivered from this spirit of laziness/distraction. ;)

Another thing is.... These past few weeks, I've been irritated, and I've let myself get angry with a number of people over controversial, divisive issues, such as the Terri Schiavo case, and other things on the debate threads.

On the one hand, I think it's important to talk aoout these things, because these are important issues that we are facing in this country, and in the world.... but on the other hand, if it just makes me angry and frustrated, then I either need to lay off the debating, or deal with it in a very different way.

I know that in some debates, I've been harsh and probably too blunt in my replies. And to those people, I apologize. Those threads can be really heated, and tough, and I admit that as a Christian I need to not resort to my human nature, and not return bad with more bad... which is what often happens when we're led by our human nature.

I admit, that when dealing with controversial, heated issues, and people saying things that make your blood boil, sometimes it is hard to not let our human nature take over. So it's something I've been working on, and maybe something God is working on in me.

I do want to say this though... not just myself, but a few people I like and respect on this site have been attacked, had their words twisted, and have had to deal with other things such as very underhanded tactics, repeated baiting and extremely harsh (but nameless, so they can get away with it) personal attacks, and harassment.

It makes me wonder if it's worth it to even post on those threads, and I know a few other people who feel the same way, and have taken breaks from those threads for that reason. But why should those people let the crap and harassment make them take a break, when the people doing it need to lay off and act a bit more civilized?

Ok, enough of the venting.

There are cool people here though, who I like and respect, so that makes this site a bit more appealing to come to.

I need to get my butt in gear and go do some things i've been putting off, but i'll probably be aboot later. :)
