I've posted similar things on other sites, with no comments. It always reminds me of something that happened back in high school. I took a Women's Studies class back then, and at the beginning, the teacher asked us all to list the chapters we...https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/frndlyghost/655457I see there are no comments on my last entry. Maybe it was boring? Maybe nobody wants to comment? Maybe nobody read it? Just wondering.........???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/frndlyghost/655306I have a wonderful son, who happens to be gay. He was raised in the church, baptized, filled with the spirit -- the whole 9 yards. He has always been a compassionate, loving person. A bit sarcastic at times, but always there for friends and family when they need him. He stopped going to church...https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/frndlyghost/654837My husband and my son are a lot alike. So much alike that it's almost frightening. In fact, they even have the same first name, although my son is the product of my previous marriage -- and therefore not the son of my current husband. Both are very stubborn individuals. As a result, they have...https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/frndlyghost/654437I had an interesting dream the other night. It consisted of two different "scenes", much like a short play. In the first scene, I was getting writing tips from both Stephen King and Rod Serling. Granted, they're not Christian authors (and one of them isn't even alive anymore), but the advice was...https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/frndlyghost/653683No, this is not saying that Knott's Berry Farm cookies are divinely inspired. But I happen to like them alot. I also like shopping at Grocery Outlet (which always has been, and always will be "Canned Foods" in my mind). My husband and I are still facing financial trials, rent being a major one....https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/frndlyghost/653264I have one son, age 19. He was a "miracle baby," because several doctors had told me I could never get pregnant. He's also an "earthquake baby", conceived just after the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake. But I prefer to think of him as a miracle. The other day, my son needed a roll of toilet paper. So...https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/frndlyghost/652793As I've probably mentioned before, I'm trying to lose weight. The goal is to get back down to 165 lbs, which is a healthy weight for me. I've got appx. 30 lbs. to get rid of. If you're trying to do the math, I'll make it easier -- my current weight is 196. This is what happens when you're able to...https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/frndlyghost/651824The other day, I had an appointment at the doctor's office. It was a follow-up to my latest ER visit (see Casper's Aneurysm Odyssey in the Health & Fitness section for more about that). I didn't initiate the appointment, since I've been having financial woes and didn't want to add to the (already...https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/frndlyghost/650674I'm so glad God never promised us an easy road. The Christian walk is never guaranteed to be a stroll in the park. But the rewards are worth the effort, that's for sure! Like most newlyweds, my husband and I have been facing some pretty hairy financial issues. It's not easy to meld two ways of...
