Modesty Survey

Tuesday, January 16th, 2007

I’m sure you’ve heard of Josh Harris, the guy that wrote the “I Kissed Dating Goodbye” book. His two younger brothers have started a website and forum called The Rebelution. They’ve got this survey, put together by believers (girls, in fact), all about what’s modest and what’s not… and what guys actually consider stumbling blocks. They won’t release the answers until 1,000 believers (only guys can take it, though!) take the survey. I’m really interested in the results, after perusing the questions, so pass the word along to all guys.

We Messianics have to put our two cents worth in, too!

Virtual garbage bags!

Wednesday, January 10th, 2007

I like to think I’m pretty good with my computer. I mean, with its upkeep and all. I have a top-notch firewall, I have an anti-virus program and two spyware programs. I do disk cleanup every other day and I try and defrag every week. I empty my recycle bin often. I uninstall unnecessary programs and I don’t have that much music on my drive.

Sometimes, life gets busy.

What? Four percent free space on my hard drive? WHAT? How did that happen? I don’t even have enough free space on my drive to defragment (which pretty much rearranges files so you have more free space, by the way). Dang it!

And so I break out the virtual garbage bags and now I’m sludging my way through all of my files, getting rid of anything and everything that isn’t tied down. I tried to rename my Recycle Bin to The Dumpster, but it didn’t clean things up any better.

Good grief, I have a lot of files! They make iPods bigger than my hard drive!

PS: Our cell phones are in the mail. They’re sending us new phones anyway. Hey, we’ll have backup. So definitely leave a message if you’ll want my number.

Technologically advanced…ish

Hey, guys, guess what? I think my family is finally moving thoroughly into the “new millennium.” We’re getting cell phones!

Okay, so my dad has had one forever. He used to have one of those GoPhones back before we moved, but he ended up giving it to my grandmother because a 717 area code wouldn’t do us a bit of good in Oklahoma. He has one now on his partner’s family plan, but now he and my mom and I are all going in on our own family plan.

Oh my gosh! Meli’s going to be communicating. By PHONE, no less! So when I get my cell number, who wants it?
