This was basically what I experienced this weekend–freedom.  For the first time in a very long time, I did not have church worship team, didn’t need to teach sunday school, and didn’t have any Campus Challenge meetings!  My sister commented she honestly didn’t know the last time when I was so free =D

So yeh, I felt pretty free this weekend, but with all the free time and relaxing on hand, the emotions all related to this time of the year crept back into my mind and heart, slowly but surely.  I was talking to a friend about it, and she recommended that I start a bondfire and smash to pieces as part of the ritual.  It’s not too late, but right now I just kinda keep it all hidden… it’s all still there, and I honestly don’t know how to deal with it.  Am I supposed to throw it all away, demolish it, burn it up?  Is this what my life consists of?  I can’t help but hear Jeremiah’s promptings, that it all must be torn down in order to be built up.  I just still hold on to the importance of all this in my life, and cannot forsee myself throwing it all out of my life.

(I probably didn’t make sense to you at all…sorry)

This morning when I woke up…I ended up having one of those feelings after I checked the course website for one of my classes–I completely forgot about an assignment that was due today… Have you ever had this experience? When you thought all was well, it’s all good, I’ve got everything in check, my Outlook Calendar all synced up with all the assignments/tests I gotta do–and then WAM!!–you knew there was something you neglected to remember, and this was it.  It’s only worth 10%, but apparently 3-4pages of writing’s req’d…and it was due this afternoon.  I honestly couldn’t finish it in time…so I didn’t bother trying.  I arrived in class a minute or 2 late, and found that nobody else had handed it in and proff didn’t even mention; a friend arrived late a few minutes after me and he didn’t even hand anything in either.  I guess this means it’s due Thursday… I think; honestly, I’m not sure.  We’ve got 3 assignments due one after the other (one due next Mon) and I think we’re just too overloaded to think straight.  Oh well:S

Anyways, I found this lil post on “You might be____ if” the other day…specifically, about Southern Baptists!  (Shout-outs to my friend Shuling @ SBTS in Louiseville!!)

You might be Southern Baptist if,

1. you honestly believe that the Apostle Paul spoke King James English.
2. you judge the quality of the sermon by the amount of sweat worked up by the preacher.
3. you’ve never sung the third verse of any hymn.
4. your definition of fellowship has something to do with food.
5. you think “Amazing Grace” is the national anthem.
6. you believe God’s presence is strongest in the last three pews.
7. you think Jesus actually used Welch’s grape juice at the Last Supper.
8. you judge the quality of the service by its length.
9. you think someone who says “Amen” during the sermon might be charismatic.
10. you believe John the Baptist is the founder of the SBC.

I totally affirm all the items on the list, except #1!  So I guess that makes me 90% Southern Baptist;-)  ….ahhh, I think my destiny is coming true very soon, I know it!  This is a sign!!

Consequently, I was unable to answer Yes with certainty to any of the characteristics of Lutherans or United Methodists, so this for sure means something :) 

I seem to be lacking COMMENTS from readers on my blog (really not sure why–but apparently some are scared away by my right-wing, conservative theology).. So you who are reading this–please comment!!   Are you a Southern Baptist, Lutheran, or United Methodist?
