I have good things!
First is that we got our car back and it is driving smoothly. And the check engine light is FINALLY OFF! It's been on for the last, oh... three years or so? And seeing as it didn't turn on as soon as I got behind the wheel (which has been the case every time we've taking it in for repairs so far), I'm hoping that it'll be good for a while.
Second is that the gaping hole in my tooth is filled and it didn't take a root canal! Yay! Mouth is starting to regain feeling, three hours later, even though it never did fully lose feeling. I do have another cavity that needs work, but I'm going to see if this extra calcium and Vit C (and all the other diet stuff) kills the infection and lets the tooth heal first. I'm only giving it six months, though, as I don't want to risk losing the tooth.
The printer is now attached to the computer. Yay to the Big Box of Random Computer Crap!
Had an interesting meeting last night. It was a covenant group meeting ("small group ministry" supposedly) but we had a fellow church member who isn't part of our group in to record us talking about a few questions.
Really cool questions.
We only had time to tackle three, but all of them are really interesting and will be explored further.
How has being a [member of your church] changed your life?
Some say you can believe anything you want as a Unitarian Universalist. True? Explain why or why not.
What is the purpose of life?
What is your favorite UU principle and why? How do you try to live it?
Describe living a "good" life - a life, as Forrest Church would say, that is worth dying for.
What do you have faith in?
Should Unitarian Universalists actively promote the growth of membership? If so, how?
Do you believe your conscience survives death?
Why are you a [member of your church]?
What is the essence of Unitarian Universalism?
Do you believe in a higher power or God?
*What causes evil in the world? As religious people, how should we respond to it?
*Where or how do you find ethical and spiritual wisdom?
*Does being liberal religiously mean one must be liberal politically?
What keeps you connected to the wonder of life and the universe?
How do you try to make the world a better place?
The starred ones are the ones we randomly pulled out for discussion. the bold ones are the ones I thought were most interesting.
Anyway, I need to go spend some time with Babe and make some peanut butter candies. That's another good thing! I found a local source for powdered milk! Not the instant kind, but the fine powdery stuff! Yay!
Cheers!
