When I went to college, I attended a junior college near home for one year, then transferred and lived away from home. I didn’t come back home to live until after I got married. My husband and I lived with my parents for one year while saving money to buy our first house. Living with my parents as an adult was difficult, to put it mildly. Honestly, I don’t recommend it.

I’m taking a sign language class, we meet twice a week, and it’s one of the highlights of my week. There is a great sense of satisfaction when I actually understand what my teacher is signing (if he does it relatively slow).
There is a 70-year-old man in the class. He’s retired, wakes up anytime…
If you believe in adoption, please read my post at Adventures In Parenting. I won’t repeat it here.
I admit, I like being a Christian. I like going to church, I like the stuff we do at church, I like meeting other Christians, I like Christiany things, I like to read the Bible and pray and all of that.
I used to avoid issues that would make me question the claims of Christianity…

5. I got a phone call from Vietnam.
My weakness is meat. I prefer a thick prime rib over chocolate cake. In fact, I am not tempted by chocolate at all. It may surprise you that I do not like chocolate. I am not tempted by sweets, but I am tempted by a hunk of meat, medium rare.
As of tomorrow, we will no longer have TV.
We got cable TV for my mother in law to watch the Chinese channels. Since she’s on vacation, we are saving money by canceling TV until she comes back.
No more Alton Brown, Cake Challenge, and Dirty Jobs…oh, and Jeopardy…that’s gonna hurt.
But I can definitely live without Hannah Montana…
Whenever life gets you down and you think life is not fair, just reread the life of Joseph in the Bible.
I met a boy at church today who got into some trouble at school. His mom brought him to church to do some “community service”. I learned a bit of the back story, and…
An extrovert comes out of a meeting wishing she didn’t say so much.
An introvert comes out of a meeting wishing she had said more.
I usually wish I didn’t so much.
What about you?
It’s suppose to be a virtue to embrace multiculturalism – to celebrate and appreciate the uniqueness of different cultures. People often seek cross-cultural experiences by going to other countries, or going across town. Exposure to diversity enriches our own lives.
But it seems to me most people just want to have an occasional multicultural experience for the fun of it. Not many really want to live with multiculturalism.
