Roberta, thats great your sister is going too.
It was nice.
However, sis was mad at me because she and I were having a private conversation at home and I asked her for her viewpoint on something that is going on in one of the churches I attend. She asked why I wanted her opinion and I told her that it's because she's unchurched. She was upset about that thinking that I was saying that she's not a Christian. So, we had a talk about Christianity and she maintains that she is indeed a Christian. A lot of things that she pointed out about her faith are clearly non-Christian. I was going to attempt to point out where some of those beliefs contradict the Bible but she told me that the Bible is a good book, but it's not accurate.
I asked her if she's read the Bible. She confessed that she hasn't. So I pointed out to her that she can't even really say it's a good book since she hasn't read it. She told me that she works with a lady pastor who has given her most of her guidance spiritually in the last few years.
I asked her how she knew this woman was telling her what the Bible says and she says it's because she trusts this woman.
So I am kind of at a loss about what to do about the situation. I've been praying for the words to say to sis. Right now nothing is coming to me.

Erin, I did not honk but I did remember that you lived in AR. Can you explain the point of the roads that run RIGHT alongside of the highway that are used when you exit? I don't understand the point of having the road AND the highway going to the same places. Does that make any sense?
When we travel on long distances via vehicle, we always take those roads. Nicer pace and you get to see more of the countryside.

The exits confused me. We stopped in Blythesville for lunch and getting off the highway took us to the "side road" and then we had to get from there to the actual road we wanted to exit on.

 My friend told me she's poor (I understand saying you're a "poor college student"; I say that sometimes)... but she meant that she's "poor" because she has to buy on-sale clothes (from places like Parisian) instead of new ones.  I do the same thing...although even on-sale clothes at Parisian/Belk cost a bit much, unless it's for a special occasion. I know a while ago she bought a jacket for like $200...and I think I probably could have gotten the same one for less than fifty dollars at less expensiver store than that. But of course, if she went a week without eating out and going to movies, I think she wouldn't be "poor." She can easily spend $50/wk on movies...maybe $35/wk on Starbucks.... over $120/wk on eating out (sometimes twice a day and not at inexpensive places all the time)... maybe $20 on weekly movie rentals... That's what... over $200/wk and that's not with gas or other necessities. I could take the money she uses on extras to buy lunch for 6+ weeks. But apparently she's poor. I know it's not her money she's spending, but she doesn't believe in saving anything anyway. (I was going to say she could save it in case something happens.) I'm trying to distance myself from her without letting her know that, but I just don't see how you say you're poor when you spend money like that (money that you don't have to waste)... All I ask for is food/gas money and if I need something, I ask for money for that. I guess the reason I don't go out much is because I know my dad works hard for the little we get...and tuition is high; it just doesn't feel right for me to do what she does, but we don't even think alike. I try to use my babysitting money for "outings."
On a side note, I went to campus this morning to ask chem. questions...then I get there and the entire dept. is dark and a janitor told me they were in a meeting. I thought about waiting for him, but it was 10:40am and he leaves at 11am. I'll just do it tomorrow. I'll have to do it soon anyway because monday is the last day of classes.
