Power and Christmas

I have neglected writing here, as well in my journal! The reason I haven't written here is because I have been dealing with myself being dumb and doubtful. I didn't think when I became a Sunday School teacher that I would suddenly begin to think that I am no good at it and that I am too boring for the kids. I did, even though people kept telling me that I am doing a great job and the kids are enjoying it so much.

It got to the point where I would put off trying to even search for a lesson until the Friday or Saturday before. Today, (Saturday) I thought to myself, "Guess I better go try to find a lesson on-line since I don't have one written out yet." I usually do not use the internet for my lessons, but today I did, and I am glad that I did too. I typed in "Sunday school lessons for 9-11," and a lesson on Noah's ark and promises came up. For some reason, I went to it, and I read it, and knew instantly that it was my lesson for Sunday (tomorrow).

I believe that something good will come out of this lesson and that the class will enjoy it.

The only thing I have to fight now, is to not feel like a zombie when I get up in the morning. I haven't gotten much sleep in two days, like roughly 5 hours, and on top of that I have a cold, thanks to my lovely mama. I feel a little like a walking dead person right now, but with some cold medicine, I'm sure that weird little feeling will go away.

I have to share my affinity for Christmas, Christmas music, Christmas music, and Christmastime in general. In fact, I have internet radio pulled up and Christmas music is playing. To top it off, I just finished watching "Elf" the movie, which is my favorite Christmas movie ever. I love to start Christmas stuff early. People think I am crazy, but is my absolute FAVORITE time of year! What can I say? In all caps, just for you: I LOVE CHRISTMAS!!!!!!

Mirrors

I recently went to see the movie Mirrors. I had gotten some opinions before I went just to see what I might be in for. All of the opinions I got were relatively the same. Everyone chimed in in saying that it pretty much was a dumb movie and was no good. I have to beg to differ on that. I found that the movie was intensly mind-intriguing. To be able to enjoy a movie as such, one would need to be immensly wrapped up in the paranormal states of the mind and of the environment around us. Most people today set aside all of the old superstitions and tales of ghosts and paranormal activity. They shrug at it and simply choose to say that none of it exists. When in fact, we as people encounter the paranormal's antics and enities while completely unaware. The entities are all around us and thus choose who they want to see or hear them. Call me crazy, it's just how I feel.
