The Oprah question

Should Christians watch Oprah?

According to my Sitemeter stats, someone googled that question the other day, bringing them here. As my regular readers know, I’ve written about Oprah before. You can find that post here if you have yet to read it.

Oprah, my dear, you are a quandary to many Christians. This is not the first time a believer has asked this question about you.

Before I offer my opinion, I’ll let you answer first. I’ll post my thoughts tomorrow.

6 People I Tag

Everyone listed in my blogroll wanting to play along, but specificly I tag: Marianne of Writer-Mommy, Lavonda of What’s Up, Rick of Concept 53, Tara of Tara’s View of the World, Melanie of Me Melanie, Pam of Matriarch, Nell of Casual Everyday Friday, Kelly of Fruit of the Womb, Sarah of Kingdom Twindom, and Melissa of Multitasking Mama. I’m feeling generous, and I know what a thrill it is to be called by name for these things, so I’m tagging ten of you. If I never post again it may be because the meme police have taken me to bloggy jail.

Feel free to participate or compeletly ignore this tag if this isn’t your thing. If you are feeling chatty, let me know what you think of my list too.

The creative writing class looks good

Somehow I’ve managed to get myself on the right (or wrong?) mailing list, because every now and then, I get these tempting brochures from New York University.

Oh. My.

Delicious.

Not that it’s going to happen. I’m over an hour from The City and there are way more important things we need to spend our money on, like the house mortgage, and the Kitchen Construction. And this home schooling commitment is rather time consuming, so I have no free time for the luxury of bonus education right now.

Even so. When these glossy cards find their way onto my kitchen table, mixed in with bills, home school supply catalogs and magazines, I wonder…

What would it be like to be a student again? What would I study if given the chance?

How about you, Mom-reader?

Do you dream of continuing your education?
