A minor bit of trivia about me is that I actually was a Seventh Day Adventist breifly growing up. It was probably the happiest time of what was otherwise a turbulent childhood.
What is Seventh Day Adventist? Well its a bizarre combination of Judaism and Christianity. They go to church on Saturday and have similiar dietary restrictions as Judaism, in fact most SDA's are vegetarians. They also believe very much in the second coming and the end of times.
I remember going to Sabbath school and my mom reading a great deal about Revelations and armegeddon. Of course this was in the seventies and everyone thought the world was going to end by 2001. As we know now, it didnt. I will be calling the SDA church here today, get more information and attend church this SATURDAY!!!!
I want to mention that I have fallen behind in my blog as I have been experiencing a great deal of depression and stress. An almost debilitating depression to be honest. I continue to be out of work and of course the stresses of taking care of two children occasionally take their toll on me. I'm doing what I can to dig myself out, and I am hoping with prayers and hard work things will improve. The feelings of hopelessness are palpable, some days are better though, I want to thank everyone that is out there praying for me.
Also, I want to thank the anonymous donor that hit the donate button! Donations help me continue this blog as well as help my current financial situation. Keep them coming, no matter how big or small.
Happy Holidays and I am so excited to be revisiting my youth this week with a visit to the local Seventh Day Adventist Church!
