Hello World, And All Who Inhabit It!

Greetings fellow bloggers!
Welcome to Life as I know it! Here, you will hear...er...read...the ramblings of a Jewish teenage girl who has been thrown into the transition into adulthood.
Tonight was great! Went to the a boy's Bar Mitzvah. It was Asain themed. Beautiful decorations! I danced my butt off, and probably made a fool of myself, but it was fun nonetheless. It's interesting, though, how one day you get up, drink and be merry, celebrate the upcoming life of a 13 year old boy, and the next, go to pay respects to an old friend who's life was taken too soon. Tomorrow is the memorial service of a beloved man in our congregation. He was a wondeful person, and will be dearly missed. I am not really sure what to expect tomorrow. I have not been to a memorial service in a Temple before. I wonder if it is the same as Christian memorial services. Well, we'll see. Rest In Peace my dear friend, we will see you again someday, and Mazel Tov to the Bar Mitzvah boy! For as the Bible says, "There is an appointed time for everything. and there is a time for every purpose under heavenA time to be born and a time to die, A time to sow and a time to reapA time to kil and a time to healA time to tear down and a time to build upA time to weep and a time to laughA time to mourn and a time to danceA time to throw stones and a time to gather stones togetherA time to embrac and a time to shun embracingA time to search and a time to give up as lostA time to keep and a time to throw awayA time to tear apart and a time to sew togetherA time to "be silent and a time to speak"A time to love and a time to hateA time for war and a time for peace."
