Seven things
So no sooner did I make my peace with not doing this meme when Shelley tagged me for it, than Pistol Pete tagged me, too. I suppose I should comply.
1. Sometimes I think it would be cool to have chickens, and maybe a cow. Then I laugh. Then I think about it again.
2. When I’m drawing, my facial expression matches what I’m working on.
3. When I’m concentrating, I forget to breathe. My dad does this, too.
4. I was fired once. And the homeschooling co-op (almost a school, except kids could take one or a few or all their classes there) kept me on for the other class I was teaching. I can’t believe I stayed — but only for the rest of that school year.
5. This is my fourth attempt to do this meme. One I never published. One stayed up for a day. The most recent only lasted as long as it took for me to write this version.
6. I have been Presbyterian (USA), Plymouth Brethren-inspired head-covering rockin’ priesthood of all believers fundy non-denominational, Pentecostal (not really), invisibly oppressive but still rockin’ Bible church fundy non-denominational, and Presbyterian (PCA). I only regret the second to last.
7. I wrote and performed this music, which I haven’t yet recorded on a CD. I get more inquiries for this tune than for anything else I’ve done. I wonder if I’ll ever get to making that next CD, but if I do, guess what’ll be included?
Interesting stuff. Glad to know you better.

I’ve thought about having a coop as well. For eggs though-I couldn’t kill them.

I loved number 6. I’ve been in a church like the second to last too. (feels like I’m still recovering from it…

That church was so weird. It seemed so normal on the surface — we couldn’t really point to any particular heresy or oppressive practice, but we dreaded Sundays and came home feeling worse (and not the good worse where you’re convicted of sin and repentant, just nasty worse). One thing that got to me after awhile was that it seemed the pastor wanted to achieve community just by preaching it — human nature doesn’t really work that way.
