Well, here I am with a blog of my own. I'm not sure what I'm doing with this, but I figure 'what the heck', everyone else is doing it, right? Besides, it's totally free! And free is very good.
Day One of the "Zahn Zone". What do you think of the name? "Lisa's Place" was taken, amazingly, so my brain quickly came up with this as an alternative. I like the alliteration at least. Plus, it leaves others in the family free to contribute. Maybe the kids will get into this at some time, which would be great writing practice for them. I'll have to see if I can corral them into it. Maybe Elijah can contribute some poetry like this, which he did last year in his second grade class:
I had a loaf of bread
on my head.
Infact (sic) it
was my
hat
so I
wacked (sic)
it with a
baseball
bat.
the end.
Maybe Rose will dictate some stories. Maybe I'll give you some fascinating political commentary.
Like about how those d***ed self-described "Christians" are now co-opting the Christmas holiday, making it even more commercial than it already was by boycotting businesses that don't say Merry Christmas. Idiots! Do you wonder why I haven't been to church in months? These people are taking Christ out of Christianity so that you can hardly find him or his message there anymore, at least in our mainstream culture. I did enjoy attending St. Cloud State University's Newman Center last Sunday, and in prayer there I realized that I couldn't give up the name Christian for myself just because some "Christians" are turning our faith into a travesty! And thank goodness for Father Kevin, who speaks of God as our Mother-hallelujah! I feel so at home there.
Well, so much for easing into this...I guess you can expect some politics and religion in here. Things usually too sensitive to talk about, but here they fit right into a blog. Until next time...Happy Holidays!
