$5 to walk around the fair grounds?!?!?!? Land we already pay for with our taxes!! The most of my life it was $1. For over 40 years, it was the best deal in town. Last year they decided they needed $3 from every entrant (including, I discovered yesterday, the vendors!!) and then they complained of low attendance numbers. DUH! Sure, the increase to $5 is gonna make folks flock to the dang place?! The woman at the booth told me it's to help off-set the costs of clean-up (most of which is done by volunteers!) and to pay for the air conditioning of the Expo Building (which has traditionally been cooler and shadier than the grounds, not artificially cooled, though). Hmmm, I can't wait for the feedback when this year's fair closes.
♥ That said, I'm schlepping a car load of kids every day this week. Shall be a great time!
My most favorite conversation thus far:
Would you like to take our 2 question test?
Sure
Are you going to heaven when you die?
YES!
How do you know?
I have faith. Incredible faith.
In what? (okay, we're on to question 4, I didn't point this out)
In that I am living the life God has intended for me to live. I walk the path of intention. Intention of fulfilling my purpose on this planet as diana.
But do you believe that Jesus Christ is the son of God and he died for your sins?
Nope. I sure think Jesus is a great guy. I work hard every day to emulate his example. Too bad more Christians don't focus on emulation instead of condemnation.
Oh, I agree with you there, but you know when we stand before God and we don't believe in Jesus we're not good enough. (okay she got my goat right there!)
Not Good Enough?! There is no such thing in God's eyes!! God never, ever feels we're not good enough! God never, ever turns His back on one of His children. I cannot believe in a God who would create humans in their imperfections only to reject them and say, Nope, not good enough! I think it's far more than belief in Jesus necessary to have a good life, both here and the hereafter.
Well, we'll just have to agree to disagree.
Sure thing! I'll see ya on the other side and we can discuss it more when we get there!! Bye!

I'll be volunteering tomorrow afternoon at the Planned Parenthood booth from 1-3!! I found out there is a workshop next week (which I've already rsvp'd for!) called Sexuality and the Spirit. It's put on by Pastors 4 Moral Choices. Basically, it will talk of a comprehensive sex ed program with a faith based component (OWL already exists people!!). I'm excited for the inspiration for my upcoming talks at Live and Learn next month.
