Blind Prophecy

I haven’t heard from my sister yet, but last I heard they might have to postpone the trip again because my niece was getting sick. Major bummer.

From another of my sisters, I found one of those long-ass “why I love Jesus” emails in my inbox today. I really had to resist the urge to write her back with an equally long tale about why I’ve come to love the goddess, what nature means to me, and how I’m equally unashamed to proclaim my faith… but only when someone initiates it. Wisely, I deleted the email before sending it. I really don’t need to stir up family shit right now.

I have no problem with Christianity, it’s just not a good fit for me. What I do have a problem with is the double standard. If I talk to certain people about Wicca or my personal beliefs, I always do so in a manner respectful of the fact that others may not agree with my faith. Yet, I’m being the difficult one if I politely decline believing in Jesus and the Bible. When family is involved, it’s a thousand times worse.

I spent most of the day working on some ideas for the Angel Season 6 project and playing around with my outline for the Three Day Novel Contest. I don’t think I’m going to be able to participate this year after all, but I like the outline I’ve come up with. If I can’t do the contest, I’ll probably pick a three day weekend and challenge myself anyway in the next few months.

Other than assigning stories for the next issue and some basic busywork, there wasn’t a lot to do at the office today. I should have spent some time on my resume, but I forgot about it until now, and I’m getting out of here right at 5 tonight. I suppose I could work on it at home. It still seems premature to me to be applying for jobs, but hearing about how long it has taken some of my friends to find work, I’m probably being really stupid.
