i was lured by my evil desire for shoes this weekend! i bought three pair on my birthday!

I'm really enjoying having believing neighbours (sort of hipster evangelicals). It makes me more like Homer Simpson.

ooh, i bought shoes this weekend, too! i'm spectacularly evil, though... i bought *4* pairs! i might have a problem.

btw, the more i think about it, the more i wonder if the two sides of the church sign have anything to do with each other, or whether they're independent thoughts.

Christa dear, do you get out of your car to take these photos? Maybe they are doing it intentionally to check out your new shoes?

When I read the temptation quote, I was like, "Duh!". Here's the def. from dictionary.com.

temptation

n 1: something that seduces or has the quality to seduce [syn: enticement] 2: the desire to have or do something that you know you should avoid; "he felt the temptation and his will power weakened" 3: the act of influencing by exciting hope or desire; "his enticements were shameless" [syn: enticement]

Maybe they are doing one new "church" vocabulary word a week or something?

Your pics gave me a little view of Spring in NC. I miss forsythia. We have two seasons here: Wet/cold and summer/dry/hot.

Cheers!

john, i definitely stay IN the car. i'm scared of being confronted by these people. i'm afraid i might be the temptation for their evil desires.

and as for the beautiful spring weather... it's producing more than forsythia. we're sprouting construction. it's everywhere, and i'm allergic to it.
