See I'm not a Yankee

What American accent do you have?
Your Result: The Midland

"You have a Midland accent" is just another way of saying "you don't have an accent." You probably are from the Midland (Pennsylvania, southern Ohio, southern Indiana, southern Illinois, and Missouri) but then for all we know you could be from Florida or Charleston or one of those big southern cities like Atlanta or Dallas. You have a good voice for TV and radio.

To Santa or Not to Santa

*Disclaimer* If you reading this post and have young children make sure they're not in the room. I wouldn't want to be responsible for tearing a gaping hole in the the fabric of your child's imagination.

Yes I know the title is obscure but it does include my p0int. There is group pseudo-pyshco people who hold to the notion that if you as a parent choose to do the "Santa Claus" thing with your children your encouraging the concept that lying is ok. I for one think these people are those who figured out that Santa wasn't real at like age 5 and as a result did not have a happy childhood. On the other hand there are group of evangelicals among us that think the concept of Santa is from the pit and should be eliminated at all costs.

Personally I believe in a healthy balance between the "True" reason for the season and the elements of gift giving and receiving from the mythical figure of Santa. Its just one of those fantasies that every child should have the opportunity to experience.

Hopefully for those of my readership I haven't destroyed your only remaining childhood fantasy. However I am curious what the over all opinion is. I'm curious those of my readership who don't have kids will do the "Santa Thing" with your kids?????

Christmas Wishes

Greetings....from Wake Forest and the return from the semi-annual brain drain known as the end of the semester @ seminary. The end of the semester was rough I knew what I had to do to just pass my classes so far I've passed all my classes not like I would have wanted to but passing is passing and now I know better.

I really learned that seminary is in fact tough and intensive. To all undergrad religion majors that may happen upon my blog who are planning on going to seminary for graduate school don't think that just because you've had religion classes means that seminary will come any easier. The answer is yes and no yes the material will be familiar and no the classes are still challenging.

Not all is dreary...in the beginning I was hired at UPS as a seasonal temporary worker as of Weds night I was informed that I'm being retained as a permanent employee. So I'm really encouraged by that knowing I no longer have to stress about what was an uncertain.

Looking forward to the New Year and new blogging fodder to explore.

Wishing You and Yours a Very Merry Christmas!
