Well, at least I wasn’t a Fundamentalist

You scored as Emergent/Postmodern. You are Emergent/Postmodern in your theology. You feel alienated from older forms of church, you don’t think they connect to modern culture very well. No one knows the whole truth about God, and we have much to learn from each other, and so learning takes place in dialogue. Evangelism should take place in relationships rather than through crusades and altar-calls. People are interested in spirituality and want to ask questions, so the church should help them to do this.

Questions for Monrovians

Posted by Rachel in Uncategorized (Saturday July 23, 2005 at 2:13 pm)

1. Is it just me, or does the tap water smell like pond scum? And is it stronger during the summer for some reason? I never noticed the smell during the fall or winter. (It actually reminds me of Minnesota water, so there is a bit of pleasant nostalgia when I smell it.)
2. Is this an average summer, cooler summer, or hot summer? I have nothing to really compare it to. This is my first July living here.
3. Does anyone know of a good swimming place close by, other than a friend’s pool? This has got to be one of the most frustrating things to me. For a hot place, there should be lakes and nice rivers or something. Spokane never even gets horribly hot, and there’s hundreds of natural places to choose from that are close by. We are so close to getting one of those above ground pools.
4. What are good summer activities in Monroe? Most people I know seem to spend most of their time inside where the AC is. That’s basically what I’ve been doing, anyway.

1. Wedding Crashers was really dumb.
2. I’ve only been teaching for two weeks this summer, and I’m ready for a vacation. Two more weeks.

4. We’ve been in bed by ten more often than not.
5. Kyrie definitely has girl parts. They’re clearer than her face on the ultrasound, so I’m sick of people making comments about her being a boy.
