Miscellany
Today we have a variety show:
1) I think the kick-off for Communitas Collective went very fabulously. If you haven't yet visited, check us out. We have no agenda and are not affiliated with any denomination or movement. We simply desire to support and connect people who are disillusioned with religion, who have left church and wonder what to do next, or are trying to figure out better ways to make it work.
2) Saw this article recently: A church here in Oregon is offering Drive-in services. Yes, you stay in your car and tune to a radio station to hear the service. They may not be the first to do it, but it's the first I've heard about such a thing. You can read about it here. What do you think?
3) I am planning another post or two about Fear and Honesty...soon.
4) My health: I realize I didn't update you on my frustrations. We have determined for certain some things that are *not* going on, and I have begun taking Byetta. Yes, it's an injection, and no, it's no big deal. Really. I'm very pleased with the results so far...saw a number below 100 today for the first time in a long time. However, it makes me feel like I'm going to barf for the first 3 hours every time I dose. Hopefully that will get better; I've only been on it a week.
Note to type II diabetes pharmaceutical manufacturers: why does it seem all the people in type II diabetes advertisements/websites are "mature"? No offense to older people, but I was 35 when diagnosed, my sister was 31. We are decidedly NOT gray-haired. If you read the press you'd know that type II diabetes among 20-40 year-olds is increasing rapidly. Please don't make us feel so old.
That's all for now. Have a great day!
