Update!
So yeah, it is friggin friggin hot. I'm talkin 105 degrees hot.... yeah.....
Not cool to go from like 55 degree weather to 105 degree weather with no real warning.
But hey....good news is... I'm already starting to get my tan back....and totally on accident, lol. So that's good at least :-P
Found out that I'll only be in the "western US and Canada" with the job this summer...so... doesn't look like I'll get to go as far as Chicago. Unless they're like the weird east coasterners who think that Ohio is really "west", lol. But hey...gives me somethin to plan for in the future, right?
Today at church I got to thinkin about some really deep stuff. Mostly about the Church and what it stands for and things like that....and about all the things that I don't agree with that the Church says "God says".
For example (which was discussed in the homily today)... gay marriage. Apparently "God says" that marriage is between a man and a woman - which means that it must be opposite sexes. This is always irked me...but today I almost walked out while he was talking because of what he was saying was just so wrong. With the recent Supreme Court decision in California about the definition of marriage, now same-sex marriage is legal. Which is super fantastic! People who love each other can finally get married.... who-woulda-thunk? And people are against this idea. I'm missing their point... two people who love each other want to commit themselves to each other and be legally married. Where's the harm? People who don't love each other can get married because they are of the opposite sex. That's stupid. I've never understood why people would deny this right to people.
Ugh, I could continue on with this....but I know that those who are reading this already feel the same way so it's not like I'm trying to win an argument or anything.
But basically....and I'm sure Kaitlin's been here too... there are lots of things that piss me off about the Church and it makes me question it on a regular basis. Which gives me something good to think about each day. I'm tempted to meet with my priest to discuss my issues and see what he says - at least give him the opportunity to help me out and reason with me why the Church believes certain things....but I'm not sure if I can do that. We'll see. There are plenty of other issues I want to discuss with him too. So who knows.
*le sigh*
Ok, time to get back to work. Plus, Matt's finally here and he's gonna help me. :)
