thank you for the well-wishes.
the job interview went well this morning. i got there early and feel like i made a very positive impression on the hr lady, director and associate director. i was warm, funny (they laughed anyway) and i THINK i appeared competent. the director kept smiling at the questions i asked as though they were just what she was hoping i would say. the associate director was more practical and hard to impress(she wanted more than passion and interest), but i think i succeeded.
i also found out that there are 5 candidates total for this position, it pays better than i thought it would and is very generous in terms of time off (3 weeks paid vacation plus holidays and 3 extra vacation days if you're not sick).
i should find out next week if they want to run second interviews or if they are just going to hire.
i promptly came home and took a nap.

i am now up to my ears in prosperity theology (which is utterly revolting to me) in my paper and refuting the parts of it that suck (which is quite enjoyable). ross is out with the boys and therefore not making noise and distracting me.  if i am a good girl and get a couple more pages done, i will be allowed to go knit with the girls for a while.

The real crime is...

[karpouzian.livejournal.com]

The real crime is that the prosperity gospel is often preached to 3rd world countries, wherein the missionaries would preach that if you believe, you will obtain wealth and prosperity. They 'became Christians' based on promises of wealth and riches, and not because they were led to Christ through the Holy Spirit. Some denominations still practice this method of evangelism, ensuring that their missionaries go oversees, and look very, very wealthy.

Also, as an interesting side note, Mrs. HJA, Jim and Tammy Fae graduated from my alma matter, and actually donated the money for one of our skyways. When the scandal hit, the President of the college at the time called security at whatever A.M. it became public and had them tear down the plaque. One of our skyways was the Jim and Tammy Fae Baker Skyway... Funny, huh? :)
