Interesting what one finds on the ‘net.

Just catching up on my reading from being out of town for a few days. On Madhu’s blog, (who is a friend of Antje and I may have met once, but have seen numerous emails from) I found this link to a quiz that “determines” the right religion for a person depending on their beliefs. I think the recent trips to the many temples in Korea and China as well as the Imperial rites and customs practiced by the Chinese may have gotten me wondering.

Regardless, I came out of the quiz like this:

You scored as Satanism,You scored as Satanism. Your beliefs most closely resemble those of Satanism! Before you scream, do a bit of research on it. To be a Satanist, you don’t actually have to believe in Satan. Satanism generally focuses upon the spiritual advancement of the self, rather than upon submission to a deity or a set of moral codes. Do some research if you immediately think of the satanic cult stereotype. Your beliefs may also resemble those of earth-based religions such as paganism.

Which is the right religion for you? (new version)

Before anyone else starts screaming, I only matched Satanism at the 65% percent level. Christianity came in a close second at 60%. Interesting that the two would be so close. Do your own quiz and see where you land.

Beijing!!

Wow! What a trip! We spent five days in Beijing and just arrived home last night around 10:30pm. As I suspected, no time to catch email or write in the blogs, so I’ll be catching up this week. I took many more, but of the good ones, I have 208 pictures and 81 video clips. It will take a little time to get some of it together to display on this blog. We had a fabulous time, though. Great food, incredible sights, lots of walking and sitting on a bus.

I don’t have to go back to work until next Tuesday, so I  hope to have some relax time and some time to put together some of the best photos and video to share. We expect some rain later with the next typhoon headed toward us. so maybe I’ll have lots of time to upload things.

In the meantime,  here’s just a small sample of where I’ve been.
