Dear friend,

  • Most often, the only way to get to a great joy is through a great sadness.
    One thing must die before another can live.
    Trade a life for a life.
    So God gives you His.

  • Parodies

    "Assault a man and you will beat him for a day. Teach him to fight incorrectly, and you'll be able to beat him for the rest of his life." ~Dan Delyon

    "For every action, there is an equal and opposite distraction." ~Dan Delyon

    "Cleanliness is next to socialness...or rather, you can't have the later without the former." ~Dan Delyon

    "Four score and seven beers ago...a bad decision was made." ~Dan Delyon


    A poem

    A pocket full of posies,
     ashes and a fallen tear.
    And life recovers, no one hears,
     the rain wash away the fear.

  • Under consideration

    Every day
     I make decisions that affect the rest of my life and I don't think much of them.
    I try to keep in the Word so that I can make them instinctively based on the instincts of the new life inside me and not on the old decrepit creature that clamors for my attention when it can.
    But every once in a while
     you come to a crossroad that you know can't be taken back or fixed if it is the wrong choice. It will change your life forever and you will have no way to know what could have happened had you chosen the other road.

    Permanence,
     in a single move.
    Just like every other time I've made a decision of this nature, I'm not very nervous. I just don't want to ignore Gods voice and that is my only concern. I'm ready for anything that either choice can throw at me. (Or as ready as I can be anyway.) I know which one makes more sense, but any prayer you could throw my way would be appreciated.

  • I'ma crazy packrat!

    I just rediscovered some extremely old and funny conversations with people three years ago. It's funny, but I'm the same person I was then...and not so much. They are also the same as they were...except different. It's hard to explain.
    Time changes people. Sometime for the better, sometimes for the worse, but most of the time for the different. In other news, I've been doing a fair amount of writing as evidenced by my nearly daily blogging habit.

  • I figured out why sci-fi movies often use insects as their inspiration for their aliens.
    It's because they are freaky!!!

    I just saw a jumping larva of some sort. I say it was a larva because it was awful small to be a full size insect. It wasn't like a fly larva though. It was black and resembled a cross between an elongated cockroach without tentacles, and a six legged silverfish. But anyways, I went to kill it and it jumped three inches into the air and tried to play dead after that...I'm not sure what that was about. Perhaps it would fool anything dumb enough to try to eat it, but it sure wasn't fooling me. I stabbed at it again with the back side of a pencil. (note to self, use larger object next time.) Predictably, I missed it and it jumped again. This time it skipped the "YOU GOT ME, OH NOES!!" drama and started running around in circles.
    I began to wonder if some insects are smarter than other insects of the same species. I've noticed this trend among humans, and perhaps it caries over into the insect world too. With my moment of musing dispensed, I attended to "shoeing" my pet what's-it-thingy into the afterlife...which supposes of course that there is such a thing for insects.

    "These shoes were made for walking, and that's just what they'll do. Maybe once I'm finished with destroying a bug or two."

  • A revelation

    It just occurred to me today that this time two millennia ago, Jesus was a little boy who ran around Nazareth and played with his friends. Nobody guessed what he would do with his life. All they could see was a boy who was skilled with his hands, the son of a carpenter, and could always see through a lie. If they thought He might become something more than a carpenter, they might have guessed that he would join the Pharisees or Sadducee's since he was a natural when it came to the scriptures...but that would have been a stretch since little Yeshua would have been around six years old give or take two years.

  • Just a reminder

    Those who forget Gods justice will find it.
     Those who forget Gods love will never find it.
     Those who bow now will bow later to receive a commendation.
     Those who bow only later will fall as well.
    God sets an unalterable standard and picks us up; puts us where we were made to go; secures our footing; and loves us through it all.
  • hmm

    Do you ever feel like there is something you are supposed to be doing, but you don't know what it is? I'm not talking about something you've forgotten to do, I'm talking about something you don't even know.
    It's among the oddest feelings I've had. Like there is something inside me, not myself, but other, that needs to be expressed and it isn't for my sake that I need to express it. There is something I'm supposed to do, or write, or record that must be done in order for me to be satisfied...but I haven't a clue what.

  • YESSSSSSSSSSS!
    *fist pump*
    And now for the reason for my exuberance<

    I have a Bass guitar lesson scheduled for Wednesdays! I may actually learn how to use my beautiful starburst bass guitar! I'm already better at it that some bands I've heard. It may be because I have creativity... because I'm sure it doesn't have anything to do with my coordination level.
    With practice, that can be fixed.

  • Love your neighbor

    China is quickly and peacefully becoming a modern, capitalist democracy. Well, quickly in comparison to its five thousand year history, and in comparison to other nations in the past. Few nations, have made this transition peacefully.

    China might.

    To make this huge transition, though, China is going to need a lot of support from the rest of the world. Even more importantly the people of China need our support in this difficult period of Chinese history.

    The Caring for China Center was founded to help the people of China to survive in this restless time and to seize this moment of opportunity.

  • Good things come from God

    You know how I know that God loves me? He gave me two good days in a row at work. That may sound trivial to some, but then, they've never been in my shoes...or at least I hope not.
    That would explain the smell though.

  • Such a wonderfull place is home.

    Home... my heart longs for its peacefulness. After working hard for a promotion and almost immediately regretting the change, I am about to take some time to go home to my parents and little sister, all of whom must be the best in the world. God has blessed me so much. Even though thinking of going to work gives me a headache, I praise God for the chance to work and make money. Some people don't have that option.
