7 Quick Takes: Only 5 This Week

7 Quick Takes

Greater Church of Lucifer opening. A friend put this on her wall and commented on the nature of them calling themselves a “church”. I’m truthfully more amused by the $25 catered luncheon. Apparently, Satanists now have the sensibilities of Episcopal church women or something. I would have expected alcohol and debauchery for them, not a catered affair.

Travel. Daniel has a long weekend so he and I are road-tripping to San Jose from Friday to Monday. I’d love prayers for good traveling mercies on our way if you are so inclined.

Update on Kim Davis/Pope Francis. I think I called it. It’s a pity when people play stupid games like this.

Speaking of stupid… I actually had someone cite this study to me. The scary thing: I could have refuted the SafeMinds people as a sophomore taking high school chemistry.

Neil Degrasse Tyson on science.

In case you missed it… At the neurology appointment on Monday, we found out that Daniel’s autism is genetic (he has some duplications in genes on a couple of chromosomes and a deletion in a gene on another one) which means that I can actually tell people that his autism is *NOT* due to us immunizing him for MMR and that their argument is invalid.

That’s it for this week — I’m a bit distracted and have also run out of things to say!

31 Days of Gluten-Free Life: On the Road

31 Days of Gluten-Free Life

I’m headed to visit my parents with Daniel tomorrow and of course I’m having to deal with road food. I thought I’d talk about what I do for today’s post.

-KIND bars: I love them and many varieties are gluten-free.
-Leftovers: I have plans to take some pesto quinoa with me (if I can remember to make it).
-Fruit: Good for me and not greasy which is always a plus while driving.
-Coffee: Thankfully, my normal latté order is gluten-free!

Pray for me as I drive — I have some things to ponder and pray over so I’ll be appreciating your prayers for a safe drive to and from.
