bad things happen when mowing

Oh dear. Why did I show interest? And I was sweating from mowing the lawn. I know who Jesus Christ is. I’ve read the bible (all the way through). The bible is interesting and it has good stories. But to me, believing in God would be like believing in superman. No one is going to save me. I believe that no one is forgiving me for my sins. I can’t harm someone, pray to a god and start over. I have to do the work. I have to do the ‘right thing’ from the beginning. I do occasionally pray to Buddha or the universe. However, I know there is no magic.

There was a group of Jehovah Witnesses. One man talked to me while I was finishing up the yard work. He told me things I already knew. I showed a bit of interest when he said the bible study was FREE. Well it could’ve been interpreted as interest but really it was “wow, they do private bible study for free??”. LOL. It is interesting but I would never feel comfortable to do one on one bible study. No freaking way. Unless I was serious. Now if I had kids, maybe. I would raise my kids as Buddhist but I would want them to know about Christ also.

Since it is just me and my cat, no thank you. We were in the front yard. I felt like the neighbors were thinking, “She should get to know Jesus”. Hee 🙂 Why can’t a Buddhist knock on my door? Now that I would LOVE.

The other “bad” thing that happened was a coworker was part of the Jehovah Witness group! ACK! We spoke. She looked familiar and I wondered why she was staring at me from afar as the guy was talking to me. I thought, “why isn’t she knocking on other people’s doors?” Anyway we used to work in the same department. She thought I was still in that department which I think is weird because that department is so small and I’ve been gone for 11 months! I do feel a bit uncomfortable with someone from work knowing where I live but it doesn’t bother me as much as I thought it would.

I was watching some older eps of “Jon & Kate plus Eight”. Jon is so funny. I watched the show in the beginning when Kate first had the sextuplets and then I skipped about 4 seasons. I had no idea that I had missed about 4 years of shows until I watched some of the marathon yesterday on TLC. The show isn’t as interesting to me now. Watching the family go on trips is exhausting. I would rather see them interact with other kids which probably won’t happen. The parents would have to sign consent forms etc.

Jon said, “Don’t fall because I’m not taking you to the doctor” to one of the girls. I say that to my cat all the time! Does this mean that I’m not a bad mom? 🙂 I laughed so much at that. My cat is like a mixture of a dog and a toddler. I couldn’t do what they do. I can see how it would break someone. They were looking at houses in Virginia. They should move (if they are still together). VA is in the center of the east coast and isn’t as cold and snowy as PA. It’s not a bad place to live and it might take some of the pressure off. Although I doubt they would move if the sextuplets are in school.

I didn’t mean to rant about that show. Gotta go.

p.s
Never thought I would recommended someone move to Virginia. Oh how things change when you grow up.
