Musings from a Ragamuffin

"Christianity is not a series of truths in the plural, but rather a truth spelled with a capital 'T'. Truth about total reality, not just about religious things. Biblical Christianity is Truth concerning total reality - and the intellectual hold of that Total Truth and then living in the light of that Truth." - Francis Schaeffer

A Quest!

I feel like I'm in Monty Python's Search for the Holy Grail since Elizabeth Carman has given me something to do on my blog. :)

Okay - so I was tagged to reveal five things about myself that most people may not know.

1. When I was a kid I loved to cook and I wanted to be a chef.
2. I had a terrible temper growing up and would fight if somebody even looked at me in a way I didn't approve of.
3. The first girl I kissed was in 4th grade - I don't remember her name.
4. I went to private school and I taught myself Intro to Algebra and Advanced Algebra in one school year. We were allowed to move at our own pace and for some reason when I saw a problem I would instantly see the answer.
5. This is not something I reveal easily or at the drop of a hat, but since most of the people who read this are friends, I feel like its something you should know about me. But even if you're a stranger, maybe this is a way to reach out to people who dealt with the same or similar thing. I grew up in an abusive home (mental and sexual) and my step-dad would use the Bible to show me how bad I was. I always say that it is a miracle that I am a Christian at all, because I had no good reason to remain in the Faith when it was more of a negative than a positive experience in my formative years.

Bonus:

6. I have an IQ of 144. :) So I think that makes me an official geek or nerd or something...

I will now tag:
Josh
Neena
Laura (I would tag Dan too, but apparently he doesn't have a blog...so lame)
Amber
Jesica

24 - Wow

I can't believe that we are already in to hour 7 of this show. So much has happened that it has definitely been a bit crazy. Both Davina and I smelled a rat when it came towards the end of last nights episode with Jack's dad. Apparently the family that nukes together does not stay together for very long. It is interesting to see the dynamic between Jack's Dad and Jacks' brother - that there really wasn't any trust built up between them. Each one was there just to serve the other person's purpose and when that purpose was either met or thought to be in jeopardy, then it was easy to discard that person.

I love Morris O'Brian's character and I can't believe what happened to him last night. This roller coaster never stops. I still do not understand why Karen did not stand up to Tom and just let him expose the alleged cover-up. In the grand scheme of all that was going on during the show, it did not seem to be that monumental and I believe the President would have sided with her. I guess the writers had her resign to keep the story going - but I don't know. It just seems out of character for her.

This Wednesday - the return of LOST - woot!!!
