I&...How wonderful! Congratulations to you guys! <br /><br />I'm just starting to get shaken out of a complacent period, too. What a wonderful wake-up call!<br /><br />May those blessings just keep coming!<br /><br />I know what you mean about the rift between Catholics and Protestants in Mexico . . . it breaks my heart.Jillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00300316400083765147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6553388201961125907.post-52794000223604654222010-05-26T10:44:32.912-07:002010-05-26T10:44:32.912-07:00Hi Amanda--such exciting news about your new house...Hi Amanda--such exciting news about your new house--everything looks perfect. You can fill that patio area with a bunch of potted flowering plants and you'll have your own private tropical garden, and you'll be amazed at the hummingbirds that will visit it and claim it for their own. <br /><br />I totally am with you on the issue with the Catholic Church here. It's way over the top with idol worship. I'm what you call a "lapsed Catholic" (some call it a "recovering Catholic-ha ha ha!). I was disgusted with the Church enough already in the states--but the Church here---holy cow. I have lots more to say, but since pretty much all of it is NOT positive, I'd be sure to step on somebody's toes, so I'll leave it at that.Gailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15813307059508655924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6553388201961125907.post-75557824964948465092010-05-25T05:59:51.279-07:002010-05-25T05:59:51.279-07:00AWL-Thats so great that the church helped you to g...AWL-Thats so great that the church helped you to ground your relationship with Christ. Just so your clear I have no beef with the Catholic church in the states. I have a lot of good Christian friends there who also have a strong faith and love for Jesus. And you husband may be able to confirm this for me but its radically different here especially if your raised here. Also dont get me wrong in the fact that if you come here you can find a church or a way to be happy in the Catholic system still. I know a few Americans who have church is what you make it to be for yourself. But I have seen some crazy things verging on idle worship, go on here regarding saints and mother Mary and those things are no where in the bible, and half the time the people don't even know why they are doing it. Also the separation and hatred between Catholics and non Catholics is much harsher. Recently a friend told me that her mother told her children that the reason one of them just lost their 3 month old was because they went to a Christian church. Never would my friends in the states done such things. <br />Rebecca and PVG Thanks we are so happy also.<br />Alice-Seriously I hope this is the last move for at least 2 years and that one will be into something we are buying and wont have to move again. <br />And Im still the only baker, he does the administration stuff, IM sure someday he will learn the baking secrets but for now its all paper. ;)bordersasidehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14142674938117338592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6553388201961125907.post-2651658116992894922010-05-24T15:29:33.573-07:002010-05-24T15:29:33.573-07:00beautiful place! i like the kitchen, especially. a...beautiful place! i like the kitchen, especially. amazing how many times you all have moved since coming to mexico. <br /><br />congrats on the hubby's promotion. is he a master of making pan dulce? i've always wondered how many grams of butter are in each pastry...don't tell me or i'll be put off from eating them. :)Alicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09963493525235524241noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6553388201961125907.post-624574318477694252010-05-24T14:13:33.498-07:002010-05-24T14:13:33.498-07:00Its great.

My husband being mexican insisted we go to catholic church and I was so annoyed. (i went to catholic highschool) so for the sake of my kids i buckled down and went to the classes for 7 months and went to church faithfully for him. I never ever thought I would be catholic but after taking the classes and going faithfully I thank the lord for that stability in my life and also the times I needed to really have something to fall back on. I am a faithful prayer now and every once in a while listen to an evangelical teaching its christian too but not the same. Try to keep t foremost in your mind and always look for the blessings of the day instead of the negative and you will have a much happier life. stephanieA Wonderful Life!https://www.blogger.com/profile/01761604297248881319noreply@blogger.com
