Wow. That's some story. We had communion today, and first a really moving sermon - rather convicted most of us of our utter wretchedness. For me it was a reminder that Jesus was punished for every one of my sins, and made me ashamed that I continue to sin now... almost made me want to come home and hide in my room so as to reduce the chance of my committing sins ever again.

2J, I've noticed what you say about ping lists. I like being on yours - for some reason I have this interest in homeschooling ;-) - but I've had to ask to be removed from three or four lists in my time here. We need a refresher in netiquette, I think!

Thanks Jen! I ping very judiciously, imo. I don't want to annoy anyone and some education posts don't really apply to homeschoolers or they only apply to a few homeschoolers. How many times do we here in Oklahoma need to be told that the homeschoolers in California are harrassed? Then I find someone has taken a chunk of my homeschool list and is now posting pings all over the place. I feel like I've betrayed the trust of the people who asked to be on my list. I've even had people ask me for my list and I've declined. It has maybe 100 people on it!

I even had someone freepmail me all mad because I didn't ping my list to one of their posts!! I missed it completely!

Yikes!

Yikes Jen.... I bet the giver of the sermon intended for you to be inspired, not compelled to hide in your room for fear of failing. Perhaps there was another part of the sermon you missed?

But see Jen, that's the wonderful part as well. If (more likely when) I screw up tomorrow, well it's already been taken care of. (you're a Calvinist, you should know that!)
