lo siento

I feel pretty disconnected from the whole world right now because for the past three days I have been stuck in the house sick. My fever comes and goes and I think it is just a head cold, but as a few of you know (hem hem DAD!) I am a little bit of a hypocondriac- okay the college education never taught me how to spell that word. But I bought muchas medicinas a la farmacía y espero que I will get better. Thisis how my thoughts work, media en español, y media en english. Anyways, if I don´t feel better by day eight I will go see a doctor. I hope everyone is doing well, I have stll been dealing with the whole church issue. My mom says that she is glad that I was not "slain by the spirit". Basically, I am not sure I can go to a church where the Bible is not the main source of enlightenment. We need the Spirit to understand the bible, but we need the Bible as our foundation. Your prayers and comments would be greatly appreciated.

Becka,
I think you would be wise to check out your other options as far as churches are concerned. I just remember the first church I went to in Barcelona was pretty sketch and when I decided to look aorund a bit more I ended up finding a great church home. Disagreement with church doctrine is an acceptable reason not to attend a church. Additionally, church should feel like a home, not something to endure, so if you feel pressured to behave a certain way instead of how the spirit leads you that seems like something you should pay attention to. If you don't respect the beliefs of the church how can it serve as a place of guidance and teaching? Those are my thoughts. oh, and my other thought is that I miss you. - ME

Please make sure you get to a doctor if you have a fever (over 101F) that doesn't get better. If it's not getting that high, you might not need to worry. But if it is that high, you should be seen by a good doctor, and not just rely on la farmacia y esperanza.

a good sign

I live near a long thin park called Parque Forestal. It's really quite a nice park and it has a long stretch of a lane for riding bikes or jogging. And since I have a fear of riding bikes in this city, I jog. It's really pleasent. I usually listen to radioDisney on my mp3 player and jog along to Jonas Brothers, Beyonce, or Julieta Venegas. Great stuff. Yesterday on my jog I noticed that the trees were beginning to change. Fall has finally arrived and I am glad for the change. But as I was jogging through the falling leaves, I began to think about how much I like fall. And I had this special moment when I realized that I want to be here in Santiago, jogging through this park for many falls to come. After the past few weeks of cultural adjustment being a little more painful than normal, this was a nice thought to have.

la musica de chile

For a moment I would liek to ponder the music of Chile. You see, I listen to just about everything (except non-live jazz). Even country, although in this category I limit myself to Dixie Chicks and The Judds (only the old stuff). Here in Chile there is really only a few types of music. One, the corny romantic music that belongs on programs like "Delilah at night". Being the hopeless romantic that I am, I love this type of music. Another type of music is Reggaton (not sure about the spelling, but do I ever spell words correctly?). This is Latin America´s response to Hip Hop. Very good for dancing. I also love the fact that most Reggaton is in Spanglish, my favorite language. There is this other type of music that I like to call the "Corny Electric Piano Musica". Too corny for me and I can only take so much electric piano in one song. I am amazed at how much Englsih music is played here. And people sing to it. they actually know the words, but they have no clue what t

murderous thoughts for cats

I got home from work today, exhausted, only to face the horrible whining of the neighborhood cats outside my window. They used to be really loud, and then in the cold of the winter they disappeared. But now they seem to have returned in full force. I sure hope I can sleep tonight!
