I find myself interested in other people’s religious upbringing. Looking over everyone else’s Friday Five entries (at http://www.smattering.org/archives/00000773.php ), there seems to be a common theme among many people’s religious preferences. They grew up with some religious upbringing, but they don’t practice it anymore. Sad. Many object to fundamentalist and Catholic holier-than-thou dogma of their religious roots, which is why they have turned away.
I hope I don’t come across as being holier-than-thou. I hold myself to high standards of the Bible. It is hard not to hold others to similar high standards. I realize that many people have not had the same opportunities and religious nurturing that I have had. Why can’t we all believe? Why can’t we all love God and attend church? Why can’t we believe all of the Bible instead of picking and choosing which verses we agree with and which we do not?
What happened to Telalink.net? The domain is for sale. This used to be a relatively big local ISP in the Nashville area. Now I can’t even get to any webpages hosted by them.
I saw on NewsChannel 5 that the Hermitage Kmart will be closing within a year. Sad. I worked there 2 summers in ’95 and ’96 as a sporting goods/automotive associate. Nevermind I knew nothing about sporting goods or car engines. Where am I going to drop off my film to get developed. Wal-mart’s film developing takes an extra day and is a few more miles down the road. I guess I’ll look into Walgreens.
Maybe we’ll get lucky and a Target will move into Kmart’s space. Right now there’s a Target store in Donelson, which is conveniently located for people in Donelson. However I will gladly drive past the Wal-mart to shop at Target. Wide alises, less crowd. I didn’t realize how much I hate Wal-mart.
