I went to a Baptist church baptism for a friend of my family yesterday. They were adult baptisms, and it was truly a group of lovely people, who really opened their hearts to the entire church yesterday (including a fit guy who was not afraid to cry. *melts*). It honestly left me really humbled.

Well, that's all I can stand to think of right now. If I come up with anymore, I'll add it. And I do intend to finish off my ( Read more... )

Which is why I was loathe to delve back into the pure fuckery that is Twilight. *sigh* But, I started this thing, so I'm gonna finish it. I have too many opinions about these books to keep them ( Read more... )

OK, here we go. This post is going to focus, primarily, on Bella Swan as she is portrayed in Eclipse! *shudder* No, I can do this. Let me just take a sip of this drink here...ahhhh, yes I am prepared!
