Whats really the point?

Now a disclaimer before I start my rant... I am not Catholic, Methodist,Presby, Lutheran, Baptist.. basically I am not affiliated with an organized religion. I grew up in the Methodist church and remained there until I got married 11 years ago. At that point my husband and I decided to pull up our roots at our respective churches and go 'rogue' so to speak. We now belong to a Non Denomonational church which we love and attend regularly.
Now onto todays rant.
So I've been reading about alot of people on Facebook saying "gotta take the kids to CCD classes". Now thats great you are taking your children for classes about religion. BUT.. Whats the point? Most of these people do not attend church on any regular basis and may only attend for the 2 "important" times of year. Which are Christmas and Easter. Now why these are important times in the Christian religion it also acts as a "show". People like to use these 2 holidays to show that I do care about my religion thats why I'm here. While I'm glad that they at least attend that perticular, what about the other 50 or 51 other Sunday's out of the year? Now here is my point.
What is the point of sending your child to CCD classes and getting their Holy Communion when you never persue their religious education/teachings any further. Basically why do you send them to these classes when you don't take them to church but maybe 1 or 2 times a year. Seems kinda pointless dosen't it? I understand that it is a "right of passage" in the Catholic church, but isn't it like the old adage "do as I say not as I do"? You tell your child that they need to learn all this stuff and never actually do anything with it. Thats like saving up money to buy a new car , buying it, and just letting it sit in the driveway. If you never intend to attend church with your children that is your opinion, but then why send them for this education and then never let them flurish after getting it. Im not going to get into my opinion on organized religion (I'll save that for a rainy day). Oh and No I'm not a saint and I will be the first to tell you that. But I sincerely believe that you at least you give your children the option to attend church if they would like. Even if you (as a parent or guardian) don't want to take them, I'm sure someone else (grandparent, neighbor, aunt/uncle) would. Let them decide for themselves .

So i guess it's been a while since I've posted but I really do have a good reason . Not that I need to tell you what that is though. Things have been crazy crazy in the Cliff. I am back in the saddle, vacation is over and I shall be better than ever. I have decided to take on some extra work this holiday season and help out BFF Rhonda http://thepurplepinkie.blogspot.com/ at her nail salon while one of her girls is out of town for a bit. If you need a mani, pedi, glitter toes or party nails I am your girl!! Well I am signing off for now but guarantee that I will be back later!

List of 5..

So Rhonda opened the box of the "Free Card". I can list my husbands #1 immediately who is Angelina Jolie. (last I checked) I will think about this for a few minutes and post my listing, I already know who my #1 is but never really thought about my 2,3,4&5. Let me ponder......

SO .I've come to realize that I can only come up with 3 men. So here they are, I am including pictures so that you can bask in the hotness.

#3

It is my "Black Man" Georges Laraque. He was a member of the Pittsburgh Penguins last season, and I just think that he's HOT!

#2

Jason Statham. You may or may not know him. He is the star of "The Transporter" I,II,and III.

He is just hotness with an accent.

And with no further-a-do....

#1.

Mr. Vin Diesel. All the hotness of an action movie, but yet has done a movie where he is a male nanny. God Bless his abs!

And.... Yes !!!!

So I just realized this evening that I haven't posted in about 2 weeks. And I notice that I was upset that I didn't see my "blackman" at the hockey game when we played Montreal last. WELL...... last night Brandon (husband), Brian(bro-in-law), and myself were in tow for last nights game in Pitt against Montreal. And what to my surprise (not really cuz I looked online) did I see when we entered the arena to see practice before the game?????? BLACKMAN!!!!!! Not only was he on the ice. My seat was right beside where his team goes into and comes out on the ice! I did yell at him several times (doubt he heard me). But the topper of the night came when he got into a fight with Eric Goddard. So I am happy to report that Black History Month was well represented in Pittsburgh last night.I shall post pictures later.

Nope.

So as my last post stated I would let you know if my "Black Man" was playing hockey. Sadly he was not. I am not sure what has happened to him. Unfortunately the Penguins lost to them Tuesday night , but then last night the came back fro being down 3-1 to tie and to win the game in overtime thanks to Geno!!! So hopefully this will give them the kick in the butt that they need to get some more points and get up in the standings. As for today I am eating my lunch and then have a couple of appointments coming in . woopee! . not. Can't wait to get home and watch Ugly Betty and Greys Anatomy tonight!!! For being like -50* out there sure is alot of people out. I think the sunshine is fooling them into thinking it's warmer out. silly old farts. STAY HOME. word to your mother.

Yes I know I am the Anti-Christ

So can I just say how glad I am that the Super Bowl is over. Sure I'm glad the Steelers won, but Im so sick of hearing about it. Did I watch any of it? Lets just say that I was in the same room as the game wa on, but don't actually remember seeing any of it. So does that make me that Anti-Christ? possibly but don't fear... It's a hockey night!! I am quite excited that we play the Montreal Candadiens who as some of you might know is where Georges Laraque plays for. So for my sake lets hope that there's a black man in the game!! So thats all for the day. I shall post later and let you know if Georges plays or not.
