I’m off to a pastor meeting out of town
If I’m able to opdate I will – if not: see you in a week!!!!

Hugs

This morning I had to rush out of the house; didn’t have time to write and tell you that I was so happy with the thought of spending the day with Benedicte and the girls.

Here is the headlines from our day: We went out and ate “lunch” in town, they showed me the new house they are moving into next weekend, we ate some ice cream and had some time in their flat before they drove me back to town to fetch my car who had been in the garage all day. Then they hurried home and made dinner, which I got to eat with them.

The time went so fast, and I have had a great day together with friends, that’s for sure! Hope I didn’t leave you all tired and worn out! (Go to bed now girls!! )

Been using the better part of the evening watching the movie I bought at the gas station: “Jersy Girl” I love this kind off movies, can’t help myself…..and this one was good, at least that’s my opinion! Put a babe into the movie and I’m sure to love it One of my all time favorites are “Baby Boom” – so it’s about time there comes a baby into this household as well!! (Hoping soon )

*Anyone knows good (and cheap..) places to download movies??* I have to see them on my computer anyhow. *Maybe some music too??*
Legal, I might add….

*Help!*

For some reason I can’t seem to connect to my host for anneberit, and that means no email so far!! It is super frustrating!! Good thing I have to head out for another service or else my host should hear it (well, later they will!) They have been upgrading for a while, so I guess it all went downhill, the host’s site is not available either! Good thing I at least can read the comments

I am so changing this domain to the host I’m using for my blog. They have also upgraded, but it didn’t make more trouble than a few hours downtime!!

Must run, the ferry is docking

UPDATE:
Finally my email got here!! Took all day Sorry to say it but this host is so not a keeper!! Since Tuesday I have not been able to send email, today (until now) I have not been able to receive….

Later, I’m going to eat some food and watch Gilmore Girls

I’m off to service in a few minutes; today the sermon is about how to stop poverty from growing…. I have decided to use not only my words today, the main part of the sermon will be a silent discussion where the congregation walks around in the church and put their meaning down on some sheets of paper I have laid out (with questions). I never know if this will work, it depends on so many things; but I’ll try, to me this is important questions to ask to us living in one of the worlds richest country. What to we do with our money; how can we help?

The text is about Lazarus and the rich man; about having hell in life but be welcome to heaven thereafter. Or the other way around. Life is never so black and white as this story, but what do we do about our brothers and sisters laying at our door??

Jesus said, “There was a certain rich man who was splendidly clothed and who lived each day in luxury. At his door lay a diseased beggar named Lazarus. As Lazarus lay there longing for scraps from the rich man’s table, the dogs would come and lick his open sores. Finally, the beggar died and was carried by the angels to be with Abraham. The rich man also died and was buried, and his soul went to the place of the dead. There, in torment, he saw Lazarus in the far distance with Abraham.

“The rich man shouted, ‘Father Abraham, have some pity! Send Lazarus over here to dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue, because I am in anguish in these flames.’

(our whole reading is from Luke 1:19-31)

*Do we only think about our selves and what we need*
- *or is there room for others???*

God bless!

Oh, there was actually a little rain today; but most of it fell after I finished mowing the lawn. So now I can relax until next week. Other than that I mostly has done a little bit of that and a little bit of this around the house. Nothing big, but non the less useful.

The last hours I’ve been watching “Gladiator”, but I’m not sure what I think of this film just yet. It made me think, though, about history not being all good and nice; much blood and sweat belong to our history – that’s a sure thing.

It’s past midnight here and I have an early morning ahead, so now I’m off to bed.
Happy Sunday!

Sometimes I can’t help my self; so I present yet another meme:

A Liberal Christian You scored 30 out of 45 on orthodoxy!

You are theologically orthodox but more socially liberal, at least in the ways that you imagine Jesus would have been. You believe in spreading the gospel but not in bashing other people to do it. Your beliefs are serious to you, but you probably have a pretty good sense of humor about them too. The Episcopal Church welcomes you! Jesus loves you! (But, you know, not in that way)

My test tracked 1 variable How you compared to other people your age and gender: You scored higher than 69% on orthodoxy

…and that means I better get out there and mow the rest of the lawn!!

If you don’t mind; it’s ok with a little bit rain just about now….
…………………….feeling kind of lazy!

Rain Rain go away, come again some other day…

Exactly.

It’s trying to rain here, but I say “no!” I have work to do on the computer and it looks like a storm. Okay, so rain is fine, but no storms please! And no storms tomorrow, we need a nice, cool day!!!!!!!!!!

valerie

The grass is growing so fast, I must buy a bigger land mower if I can’t mow the grass by the end of this week! So the above wish: I mean it!

I got tagged, and here are my answers:

*Total volume of music on my computer:*
around 4.5 MB, but most of that is example music I need a iPod or something real soon…….

*The last CD I bought:*
Oh, my… That is quite some time ago, can’t even remember – But a friend gave me the latest CD with Bjørn Eidsvåg around Christmas time; does that count??

*Song playing:*
I’m listening to the radio, norwegian P4, and now they are playing Moby: Why Does My Heart Feel So Bad?

*Five songs I listen to a lot, or that mean a lot to me:*
Once upon a time I listened so much to music, now I rarely does (only the radio), not because I don’t like music… I just don’t remember to push the button or to buy some new ones This list is off course not only of songs in English!!

Eg ser by Bjørn Eidsvåg (Favorite song since I was a teenager.)

Kyrie with tune from Ghana (yes, I do work in the church… most of the music I hear are played on an organ)

Nocturne by Secret Garden

Jag Vill Alltid Älska by Carola (a beautiful sad song to an infant dying far too early. I once song this in a funeral for a girl who died before birth, I’ll never forget that tiny coffin and how meaningful it felt to sing this words on her parents behalf: I will always love!)

It’s A Man’s Man’s World by Tata Vega (it was a huge hit when I was 18 with me and my friends out driving)

That’s my list!

*Five people to whom I’m passing the baton:*
I’m not sure I have 5 people that has not yet done this….. Val, you had me doing this in the first place! Let my try: Jen, Deb, Catez, Leona and Adrienne

*Have fun!!*

I settled on this verse from Matthew 6:33:

But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.
