All my school bills are paid off and my books are bought due to the largess of a relative of my former employer.

And we've already had a baptism at church. I got used to that happening at Harding all the time--it was a church school. But at Murray we don't see nearly so much of that.

That's awesome!! Especially the part about having everything paid for. What a blessing. I hope you have a blast this semester. [Big Grin]

I didn't realize how shallow my first post sounded until I read it. [Blushing]

I promise I forgot about the second part of your post. A baptism is WAY cool too. [Smile]

Posted by Lalo (Member # 3772) on :

Not to rip on the whole baptism deal, but what'd really be cool is a human sacrifice. Or at least an exorcism.

Posted by Maccabeus (Member # 3051) on :

Lalo, I'm sure there are some charismatic churches around here that perform exorcisms pretty regularly. [Razz]

I don't think we do that sort of thing.

As for the human sacrifices...well, I can check with the Student Pagan Organization and see if they can arrange one, but I don't think that's the kind of paganism they're interested in. [Monkeys]

Heck, we do human sacrifice in church all the time.

Of course, it's a living sacrifice, not the kind where you kill people. It's much easier to get volunteers that way, and I suspect God finds it more useful as well.

Lalo clearly hasn't been paying enough attention to the mail-waves between Q and me. [Smile]

She makes sacrifices in my honor about every four hours.

edit: this thread was four days old! who knew? (must teach self to read time-stamp, especially when playing catch-up)

Lissa, they're not HUMAN sacrifices. . . I microwave a peep every week or so just so you know someone still loves ya. I'm there for ya, woman. ^_~

Posted by martha (Member # 141) on :

Yeah, Peep Sacrifices! Ya gotta get into it, with the red food coloring for dripping blood, the Twizzler laces for nooses, jello for drowned Peeps... I keep a supply of deli swords on hand for when I'm feeling particularly sadistic.

Posted by Ralphie (Member # 1565) on :

Maccabeus doesn't like Peeps. They're CHUBBY.

Posted by asQmh (Member # 4590) on :

Martha, you are truly warped. . . . We should be friends!

And what's this about Macc's dislike of the chub? Some of my favorite things in life are chubby: puppies, peeps and my favorite pillow, to name a few. . .
