A little bit of a Southern weekend

But first, my new cause. Please go to the website www.womenforwomen.org to find out about helping women in war torn countries and helping yourselves! This is great way to bridge gaps caused by distance and economic differences.

Ok now for my ridiculous weekend.

Friday we went to an Episcopalian "young adults" night. It was very nice to be invited, but apparently young adults in the Episcopalian Church means like 40 with kids. So we didn't really meet anyone our own age, but I think I have a new golf partner and may have joined a law firm.

Then, the night went crazy. We drove to Turtle Landing, a bar in Pearlington, MS. Pearlington was heavily devastated during the storm and heavily ignored because it isn't incorporated and the government didn't know it was there. Picture any sort of redneck bar from any movie you've ever seen and that's what this was. I can't even describle how ridiculous it was.

Saturday, we took Andy's Club roller skating. There was a lot of falling, but also a lot of getting back up which was great. It was definitely one of our better field trips. Oh, except for the pickled eggs and pickle pops the kids got. Those were gross.

Saturday night brought us to bull riding. Watching, not doing. This was sort of fun all except for the prayer that opened the event which praised God for America, the best country in the world, in the name of Christ. Hmmm...I was not ok with that and we expected Borat to pop out at any moment.

Palm Sunday was pretty great except for the deluge which kept many people from coming to church. Pastor Scott was sad. But really, when it rains here, it pours. There is no drizzle.

My acting workshop at Gulfport Little Theater started tonight and it rocks. I love those kids and want to kidnap them to form a little traveling band of renegade performers.

I'm excited for Easter. I really enjoy the drama and emotions of it all. I've been sifting through a lot of discernment and call issues lately so I'm hoping to find some time to work that out in my head. I'm really missing Boonton's Maundy Thursday service which I haven't been to in a long time- I think maybe since before college.

Anyway, Happy Easter and Happy Birthday, Mommy!
