Here's a fun summary of the history of God and his kids...

Practicing Mobile Blogging Again
Hi all!
Just a practice entry to see how easy it would be to start mobile blogging again. I kind of miss some parts of the immediacy of facebook.

INFJ - A Rare Breed
I am home sick today. I can't sleep because I keep coughing and I am trying NOT to watch t.v. I should really be studying. Instead, as I surf the internets, I am reminded of this wonderful fact of how I am created.
I am an INFJ. I am rare.
An INFJ is a personality type which you can read about here. Only 1% of the US population is made up of INFJ's. I've taken several of these types of tests over the years and of the four categories, only the I (introvert) part is close enough to it's counterpart E (extrovert) to cross the line. So at one point I leaned toward an ENFJ (still rare at 4%).
I realized, after some research, I really am introverted. I just learned some extroverted behaviors, mostly because I found that sometimes you will get more out of your life experiences by stepping out of your comfort zones. I often wonder what this means for me today as I am more comfortable with my introverted side and don't worry so much about keeping up with those wild extroverts any more. :)
So, I share this distinction with this guy:

And this guy:

Also, this gives me some direction in career choices. Nice to know I am already heading in a direction that is a good fit.
Do you know your personality type? I'd love to hear about it in a comment.
Deleting feels good...
Well, I've done it. No more facebook for me. Wonder how that will change my life...?
Spring Hills Weekends
I told you previously about the Labor Day BBQ at church and shared some pictures. Here is one more of one of our church family cuties getting her tricycle entered for the big parade.
It's seems like there is something always going on over at the Fulton Road property we call home. This weekend we've gotten to spend time with the band Seventh Day Slumber. They led worship at our 3 services and will be doing a concert tonight. I will be taking tickets at the door and then maybe some more pics to add to last night's set.
After Saturday night service, we all had dinner together and got to hang out with the band.
It's A Hot Fall
It's been a few weeks since mom's birthday. I feel like not a lot has happened but then how did I get busy again as I am consciously trying to simplify things?
I decided to go back to school and finish my AA. Although, apparently I lost catalogue privileges since the last time I went so I had to pick out something new. After I met with a counselor I found something that will work, so I am glad that worked out. I just want something that says, "Hey, you've worked hard every once in a while since 1993 and we noticed." Then I will move on to the next hard earned piece of paper.
I think that paper will be in the form of a BS in business management. There are other ideas after that but I don't want to get too ahead of myself. That seems to be a problem of mine.
Last Sunday evening was the church Labor Day BBQ in which I entered the chocolate chip cookie contest. I know some of you have had my cookies so you can imagine my disappointment when I didn't place in the "Traditional - No Nuts" category.
Mine's at the top of the picture, the winner is on the right and the runner up on the left. (Yay, Teresa Brown!) They were good cookies, too. It was a good lesson for me in humility. I had to work through that a bit. But God is good, even in the little struggles.
The rest of the picnic was fun. My brother-in-law even won the staff round of the pie eating contest!
They had to prepare with garbage bags coverings!
There was a slight protest form Pastor Bret at the finale but...
the results spoke for them selves! Yay, Pastor Bill!
I have decided to quit facebook. By next Sunday you only will be able to email me, call me or get updates here on the blog. Let me know if you want me to put you on an email list for when I have a new blog entry.
Lastly, on a sad note, I was praying for the San Bruno families all weekend as they struggled to regroup after the devastating explosion and fire in their neighborhood. It seems that one of the families, who I know from camp and the Presbyterian church there, lost 3 members of their immediate family in that fire. Please join me in praying (or sending good and peaceful thoughts) out to that family and their church as they gather around them and others who have lost so much in that neighborhood.
That's all for now. I have to stop typing or I will have nothing left to type about.
Until next time... Peace to you!

This is mid - pie. They were made of a little chocolate pudding and LOTS of whipped cream. And they couldn't use any hands.
