I've had a few days without them late...Jen: Thanks. I've had a few days without them lately, and it's such a relief.<BR/><BR/>Renee: Thanks, too. You're right that there's a lot of misinformation and rumor out there about our church. I can understand that, and I'd love to talk to anybody about it who really is curious. Anybody who's willing to accept that I know more about it than they do simply because I have the insider knowledge and experience, for example. In other worse, anyone sane. But you're right, she'd be against whatever I do just because I do it. Sigh.<BR/><BR/>I hope her influence won't matter then, but it seems to matter now (since she *says* he's free to do it but he's too scared of her to actually do it). In our church, the age for baptism is 8 years (or older, obviously), so Pirate Boy has a little over a year to go. He wanted to badly to be baptized then; he was counting down the days on the calendar. But she wouldn't hear of it. I worry about that kid's future.<BR/><BR/>Jack: Dude, I'd love to see you deal with this woman. I'd sell tickets. Unfortunately, your strategy only works on sane people.<BR/><BR/>Kory: I'm totally with you there. I have a feeling that a lot of the "pagans" out there are just in it because it's trendy. But maybe that's just the ones I've met. I love your advice about "can't fix stupid." No kidding you can't.

Apparently there are forest fairies and desert spirits, creator energies, and other critters cribbed out of "The Lord of the Rings" and maybe even "Star Wars", but no God. Yet <I>I'm</I> the one believing in made up stories..... <BR/><BR/>All I do when they get cranked up about it and other "brilliant" things we have to go over ad nauseam is remind myself of a saying I heard at a customer service seminar the city made me attend many years ago: <B>You can't fix stupid, so don't even try.</B><BR/><BR/>More practical advice....put the phone on mute and snark back. It still won't solve the stupid problem, face it, nothing will, but it might help your blood pressure. <BR/><BR/>Hang in there, girl.

But it seems to me that the evil one wouldn't care what you believed, she would be against it. <BR/>I know it pains you but one day #1 will be old enough to choose to get baptized on his own and her influence won't matter. Are the other boys baptized yet? Perhaps seeing his brothers baptized would help.<BR/>hugs<BR/><BR/>oh, thanks for both complements you left on my blog. I agree that DD is a cute kid but that picture doesn't do her justice. She had her hair in 3 day old french braids with half of it falling out.Renee Nefehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08167893445846427824noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10185290.post-25130283092352274162007-03-28T08:46:00.000-06:002007-03-28T08:46:00.000-06:00I'm sorry.
