Blogging and Me

If I could put up a picture of me and my friend Blogging standing shoulder to shoulder, you would probably see me with a half grin on my face like, "help!" and a short stubbly person who I very much try to be friends with, but just can't seem to find enough time or interest to make the relationship work. Ah well, good thing this person doesn't actually exist.

So, I am happy to report that I have acquired a new hobby. "Hobby" might not be the right word, probably more appropriate would be "part time job"! For whatever reason, both of my parents seem to think I am the perfect person to help my dad with his Unified Church vision, specifically by assisting (read: doing) with programming the website! I'm not sure how they got this crazy idea in their heads, but I'm actually enjoying it so far. I bought a book from Barnes and Noble called Learning PHP and mySQL and it has proven very informative thus far. It's amazing how many new geeky computer programming vocabulary words I've learned. And despite my inexperience, it's actually pretty interesting and easy to pickup. The only challenging part is that you don't just learn one language and then the next, you literally have to learn them all simultaneously. Plus HTML - they sort of assume you already know that or can learn it just by seeing it. I guess that's how programmers work. Crazy kids.

Another exciting thing that happened to me in the last week was that a girl came up to me in the grocery store and invited me to her church's women conference! A few hours later she wanted to know if I wanted to join a Bible study. The next day she invited me to a night out dancing (which I declined) and to church the next day. I did tell her that I'm a Christian and I do study the Word and I do attend a church already, but I don't think the words were communicated very effectively. I feel as though I'm being pursued like a regular non-believer, it's great! Tonight we're meeting for a time of discipleship, so we can review the basics like repentance, baptism, salvation, etc. I'm looking forward to it... always good to review the basics. Mainly I just like meeting new people. The whole thing makes me laugh so hard, but I try to keep it on the inside when I talk to her. ;)
