Randomness

Today has been very stressful. My son is clingy and screamy and randomly cries. I feel like I am going out of my mind. But hopefully they will all be going to bed relatively soon, then it will end. I have a little homework to do, but then I am going to relax.

I lost a friend today. It wasn't an easy decision for me, I don't tend to stop being friends with other people. But some of their attitudes were becoming to much for me to deal with in a polite manner. I can't stand when people go from living in freedom to bound by legalism. It is truly tragic. But when you start condemning people who don't live in the legalism that you do, that is really over the line. Especially when it is over, what I like to call, the details of Christianity. Such as Christmas. I know that no body truly knows when Jesus was born, but I think it's wrong to tell people that they are paganistic for celebrating the birth of Jesus on December 25. Yes that day happens to line up with a random pagan holiday, but the way I feel is that I am celebrating Jesus birth not whatever the other thing happens to be. As long as I am making it about Jesus, I can't see as the overlap of day's matters. Now, if you want to celebrate Channuka, that's up to you. Personally I have nothing against it. Just don't sit there and judge those of us who chose to celebrate Jesus birth on December 25. If you really want to celebrate His birthday, then do it in August, that's the speculated month of His birth. Either way, just make it about Him and not rules.

Ok, vent over. :) Thanks for bearing with me! On a good happy note, Annabelle wrote ALL of her letters today! She makes such a big deal over just reading them to me that I was truly shocked that she just sat down and wrote them with very little help. They are hanging on my refrigerator door. I'm so proud.
