I tinkered with the look of my LJ tonight, and decided to use a style that allows custom text. Here's what I put there:

I believe in humanity: our indwelling capacity for good, our insatiable desire to make ourselves known to one another, our coruscating passion for knowledge, our ability to handle the truth, and our capacity for learning from ( Read more... )

I'm okay with that.

Well, as long as it depicts God accurately:

cunningminx: Is Ivanova God?
Claudia Christian: I think we are all God. Honestly, if you wanna get all religious on me, I -- it was a very difficult thing for me to have to say that line, as it would be, I think, as difficult as it was for Kelly LeBrock to say "Don't hate me because I'm beautiful" in the Pantene ads ... honestly, I do think ( Read more... )

I went to the Wal-Mart Supercenter in Wesley Chapel tonight with a shopping list including beer.  In the Valrico store, the beer is behind the soda, but not in this one.  So I asked an employee: "Pardon me, where's the beer?"

"We're across from a church and next to a school."

"Um... I'm sorry, I was asking where the beer is.  You know, like Michelob ( Read more... )

I gave blood today at the Methodist church. Apparently their 'method' involves walking right past the bloodmobile and into a building to sing songs about how nice it would be if people would occasionally do something that helps others. I wasn't there when the bloodmobile opened for donations, and I took my time afterward, and yet nobody else had ( Read more... )

I went to the Florida Blood Services bloodmobile, which was parked outside a theater. I figured I'd get movie passes instead of a t-shirt, and I was right; I got two passes, not good for special engagements. Certainly the best swag I've gotten for blood ( Read more... )

I'm serious. I would like to be able to text one of the following messages and get the bible verse as a return message:

• mic 6 8
• kjv mic 6 8
• niv mic 6 8
• Micah 6:8
• etc.

This is the best idea for celebrating Easter that I've seen in a long time, maybe ever. I wonder if I'll have the balls to participate? Probably not. That sucks.

I spent my lunch break at a nearby cemetery as a volunteer photographer for Find-A-Grave. I figure it's interesting, it gets me outside, it serves others -- hard to go wrong there. I took dozens of photos but I've only uploaded a few so far -- that's time-consuming, I've found, and I'd rather get work done at the office and deal with grave photos ( Read more... )

Saturday morning we left without jitterbug5bi5, to my disappointment. (It's okay, though; she had some fun this weekend too.) We got to Miami in time to see loucheroo arrive at the party, and went down to Kendall for dinner with Dad and Fran. We were hoping to go back to the party, but since we were sleeping in Kendall (pretty much the opposite end of the metro Miami ( Read more... )
