We are screwed, reason #456
Sorry, but I really don’t want to be depressed alone. There’s a new study out, showing something that has been predicted, but not proven before: the Gulf Stream, that wonderful warming ocean current that keeps Britain, Northern Europe and Northeastern North America relatively warm and comfy, is slowing down. A cessation of that current could be disastrous.
Thanks, Fazia

Michelle my love, darling friend of my heart. Methinks you’ve been reading too much apocalyptic fiction, and looking at too many websites of science bluckness.
You’ve got to stop looking at all this depressing stuff right now!! Stress in your recently moved life, in your new-academic life, in your new relationships, new church, and everything is More than enough stress.
Please please please, when you have a chance to surf, surf places like beliefnet’s humor section, or The Onion. The truth of our screwedness or not is going to remain true whether or not you avail yourself to the knowledge.
And to everyone else who is currently in Seminary who reads this, let me get a little bossy and know-it-all-ish:
Pay attention to the Right Now, ’cause that’s what you have control over.
The What’s Next, or the Coming Soon, or the Abysmally Dreadful Things in the world are something for you to preach about a couple of years from now, but Right Now is all about being fully yourself and being fully present in this new, exciting, and dangerous thing we call Seminary.
in my most humble of opinions, love,cindy

The new feature of making someone wait to post again announcement made me think it hadn’t gone through. So I clicked Post again, and it double posted.

Michelle sez: Ah, but I have the power. Notice the dissapearing comments…

Indeed, you are correct, I have read far, far too much apocalytic fiction for my own good. And having just gotten out of my whizbang bible class, where I learned that the “God of Isaac” and the “God of Abraham” and the “God of Jacob” were most likely *different* gods, I have plenty to pay attention to!!!
Thanks, as always, for the good advice.
