When I first moved back I thought it was, well, you know h*ll for sure ... and not just because of the weather. I had a really hard time finding other believers ... very odd. But God took really good care of me, like He always does. Now I see and run into believers all over the place. 
Went to a few churches, had a few rather interesting experiences (in my life I have gone from New Age to Buddist to ultra-conservative Baptist ... all right here in the Valley ... LOL), went through a period of time where I thought everyone around here was obsessed with getting drunk on a nightly basis. But then I realized it was just the people I worked with. So I quit that job. That was three years ago. Things are significantly better now.
God is good!!!

There are some really awesome churches here in the Valley. If you aren't settled where you are and are looking PM me and I would be happy to recommend a few.
Yeah the people you are around can really affect your take on things.

Nadine ... 
(Nadine and I are practically neighbors, her hubby used to work in the building where I currently work, and we were discussing The Statue outside the building. It's, well, let's just say many people have their pictures taken with him.  )
I so love that statue  ... drive past it every day when I leave the office. I particularly enjoy when they dress him up in a Suns uniform. It protects my eyes from such intimate details.
The first time I saw it, I was not expecting it. At all. I was driving down the road, got caught at a red light, looked around innocently ... and. there. he. was.
In all his n*ked glory. Oh!!!! 
I'm kinda used to it now, and avert my eyes. But one day when I was walking on my break, I observed another woman walking from the opposite direction. Gazing around. Taking in all the new sites. And then she saw him. This was her: 
I laughed all afternoon about the series of expressions that crossed her face.

That's 'cause you're a boy.
Nadine, which conversation are you saying you missed? Bring it up and we'll talk about it here, too! 'Cause, you know, we all sorta like to talk.
The conversation was about highlighting or other wise marking in your bible or other books.
When I got married I had never written in a book. not a line, not an underline. Well, I married a bible student, he was in his last year. The first time I saw the inside of his bible I was aghast. I love books, I have way too many of them. I could not believe he would do that to any book, let alone the Bible. But I started doing it too, after a while and the Bible I had before this one I had for 10 years and it was a rainbow of colors with notes all in the margins. It took me about a year to transition to my new Bible (Which is now over 10 yrs old)I was so attached to it. Here is where I am going with all this. When I had the pleasure of leading my younger sister to the Lord, I gave her that Bible. About two years later we were talking about it and she said the first thing she did, was go through and read all that I had highlighted and that it had been a huge blessing to her, so that is what I was thinking about when I read the posts over in the Den last night. I'm so glad ya'll know me over there. LOL.
THAT is a beautiful story! How very, very cool, Nadine.

After reading through that again, I just wanted to mention there are five of us, 4 girls and my brother. Three of us are Christians, but the 2 youngest are not. Their Names are Joline and Ian. Joline is agnostic  , and my brother is just plain confused. I am surprised he is not a Christian yet, he has looked into everything else.  Please pray for them, if you happen to think of it.

Thank you for telling us about them, I will pray!

Ok. Not to change topic, but the reason I wanted to see P.S. I Love You is because of who played the guys. The guy that played Gerry (Gerard Butler) was the Phantom in Phantom of the Opera. The guy that played William (Jefferey Dean Morgan) played in Grey's Anatomy. Of course Daniel (Harry Connick Jr.) just couldn't be missed.
I really enjoyed it though. I'm thinking about buying it.
I've never been married, engaged, or dated 'seriously'. However I hope to one day be in love with somebody so much that I can't picture the rest of my life without them.
