...about gynecological exams while knocking on people's doors and asking for candy . Most of my candy is going to my Astronomy class tomorrow, seeing as I can't eat milk chocolate anymore... The little church around the corner from me was handing out candy, too, which surprised me. Of course, they came with a little promotional leaflet. But it was all like "please accept Jesus into your heart because...

We got callings.  Details to come after they sustain us in church on Sunday while we're in Lehi at the baby blessing.  All I can tell you is they didn't put us in the nursery. Oh, and our Xbox 360 came today.  Nathan waited at home all afternoon for it to come.  It was highly entertaining to read his excitement over IM (while I was at work) when he saw the UPS guy pull into the parking lot.

The Artisan Church youth group playing Rock Band in my living room after our Youth Bible Study tonight: Artisan has a youth group . . . .

...nearby. Also, I've noticed that I haven't been feeling too great for a couple of months now (I've noticed...wrong way of putting it, but hey-ho!), and I think I know why. I need to stop going to church for a while until my head gets sorted out. Some of the guys there I've just straight out irritated because of my 'not-feeling-so-good' situation... So, end of the emo moment for now...I have a...

I fell asleep two more times today since my way-to-early morning post. I really hate the dreams you get when you're sick. They're weird and you don't sleep well. It's funny how the mind works when the...to post it. The subject matter is pretty disturbing to me, especially since I was a "participant" in the dream. Oh, and it's not one of the dreams where I murder someone. I hate those too.

...candles. (I also love bonfires and straw dolls and the trappings of the ancient holiday, but those things don't really  fall into the realm of guilty pleasures.) We had a Hallowe'en fair at church last night, and it was wonderful -- pulled together in just a few weeks with a minimum of planning, just shy of a spur-of-the-moment thing, but a triumph nonetheless. (Special kudos to T. for the...

...as less-than-human and in need of saving. We have all done such a wonderful job so far, but it is time to take Traditional Marriage back for white Christians. Marriage was created for you by the church. It should be sacred and not something that everyone, especially those who are beneath you, should be able to take. Think of the children. More importantly, think of all of the money and benefits...

...considering that I've only been overseas once and that was when I was born--but something about different cultures energizes and rejuvenates me. Perhaps it's because I sometime grow cynical of America's church. Don't get me wrong; we are in a time of change. The Church is transforming before our very eyes.  Some people have no clue about the amazing shift the Church is going through right now.  But that...

Теперь в прессе толкают телегу о том, что о. Отто и о. Виктор были гомосексуалистами, а убил их типа прежний любовник о. Виктора. На почве ревности. Я давно не чувствовал такой ярости. До красных кругов...Аланом - а он про эту историю просто абсолютно верно сказал - вот тут . Но, блин, я как подумаю, сколько сейчас народишка многозначительно подымает палец и блеет "А-а, иезуиииты... дааа..." Ох. Плохо

...pleased when he found the simple Fransiscan habit in his room. Today, in preparation for what lay before him, Sam was fasting and praying. Clad in the plain brown habit, and barefoot,  he walked the church grounds, not deigning to take any shelter from the chill. Today, to gather strength, he was just Brother Sam, and he walked arm in arm with the Blessed and Beautiful Lady Poverty. There was a battle...
