Or is it just foolish not to seize such an opportunity.
Should one feel guilty about buying a home that’s been foreclosed upon?
Is it morally ok.

This is an on going goal
When I first posted this goal I didn’t want to be like so many people I’d met that had turn me off to God, church, religion etc. I believe in the bible they are referred to as hypocrites.
I’m not perfect but I don’t think I turn people off either. This person who led me to God doesn’t even know she did it. I saw her example. I saw how after she started going to church and reading the bible she transformed into a completely different person. A person I actually enjoyed working with. Before that she was no picnic to work with. I wanted some of that peace and strength she had acquired over the last three months.
That’s the kind of witness I try to be. I try to set a good example.

Last week a coworker said,
“Stephanie, I brought a treat for everyone. There’s cake and ice cream in the freezer. Are you vegan today?”
The sad part is it was said without a hint of sarcasm.
I am becoming a better vegatarian though. And the year isn’t over yet. There’s still time to keep this resolution. I think the fact that its May and I’m still talking about New Years resolutions, is a good sign.

Why I gave up consuming "Traveling Mercies: Some Thoughts on Faith"
by Anne Lamott
It wasn’t what I was expected at all. I’m mean, when you pick up a book in the Christian Inspiration section you don’t expect it to be littered with 4 letter words and tales of sex and drugs without much sound of repentance. Well, she did seem to repent the drinking but… I don’t know.
Don’t get me wrong. The half of the book I read was interesting but it was really more of a memoir and that’s not what I was looking for.
Its like if you order pizza and the delivery guy brings ice cream. Ice cream tastes good and all but you had a taste for pizza but it wasn’t delivered.

A review of "Don't Be That Girl: A Guide to Finding the Confident, Rational Girl Within"
by M.D., Travis L. Stork
I don’t know why I picked this up. I think it was because the cover was so funny. There was nothing in there to help me really. But if anyone has ever referred to you as psycho, drama queen, desperate or clingy, this book may help.
The gentleman who wrote this was guy from The Bachelor: Paris. From the 2 or 3 episodes I saw of that season, he seems just as shallow as I remember. Again and again he felt the need to mention the fact that he is an ER doctor. It was mentioned on nearly every page. This isn’t a health or fitness book. Sometimes it was relevant to what was being discussed but most of the time it came across as bragging and having a passive know-it-all attitude.
There was some good advice in there. A little. I could see some of my younger self in some of those “that girls.” My advice is if you buy that book head straight for the chapter on how to be a good friend. Thats a wonderful chapter. The most useful in the book.
Stephanie
