My husband's mine suffered an explosion today.  It is the scariest thing ever.  Luckily he was outside the mine when it happened.  He called me right after it happened and let me know before it was even reported on the news.  I have never been confronted with anything like this before.  Even though he is okay, I am still worried sick.  He is usually home by 5 or 6 and he still isn't home.  I figure he is assisting with the rescue efforts.  I just wish I could talk to him.  I know his job is extremely dangerous, but I never expected something like this to happen to him.  It is a real eye-opener.  I don't know what to do with myself while I wait to hear from him.  :(

Well, today is Easter Sunday, and I didn't attend church.  I don't feel that it is necessary.  Actually, I am trying to define my own religious beliefs.  I can honestly say that I have pretty much turned my back on the "religion" in which I was raised.  I have always been Pentecostal, but over the last few years, I have broadened my horizons and changed my views in a lot of areas.  I still believe in the Holy Trinity, and I believe Jesus was God's Son and He died for my sins.  So, I am still a Christian.  However, I have began to celebrate a number of Pagan holidays as well.  To me, when I celebrate a Pagan holiday or perform a ritual, it is always to God.  I think that God has many facets and each can be worshipped separately.  And that is what I do.  I may call him (or her) by a different name, or pray to only one side of his/her personality, but to me, it is still all part of the One True God.  I feel that this is right in my own heart, and that is what I am going to do.  Everyone will be judged at the end of time, and if I do what I truly feel is right, then I don't think that is wrong.
