HAPPY 20007! I mean, 2007!

Good Riddance to...

a dictator not unlike Hitler
a "butcher" but not at your local grocer
a killer of 1/2 million? 2 million(?)
a violent rapist
a torturer of innocents
a hater of Jews
a hater of any race or religion or sect not his own
a hater of human free will
a direct agent of Satan who called our president "The Great Satan"
a maggot
a disgusting,
revolting,
poor excuse for a human being!
"Now he is in the garbage of history"
I slept better last night after he was gone.

Top Ten Worst Reasons Why You Can't Go Out With Someone

1. "My car suddenly wouldn't start this morning, and if your car is working well enough to come and see me, well, then I am also ill today. Sorry."

2. "I was captured by aliens, and I have to go re-set all my clocks."

3. "I have to wash my hair, sorry."

4. "I have an ingrown toenail."

5. "I just found out I'm gay, and I need to be alone for awhile."

6. "It's Sunday. I'm keeping the Sabbath, and that means no dating."

7. "Elvis dropped in for a snack, and I'm all out of peanut butter and ice cream."

8. "My mother is having a kniption, and I have to help her get the schpeelchus out of her gnectegezoink."

9. "I WON THE LOTTERY! When I went to claim the dough, I exchanged the check for a bag of large bills and someone robbed me. As a result, I am completely depressed and more broke than ever after paying a lawyer and a private detective to solve the case. Consequently, I am also very ill today."

10. "Someone predicted that it's the end of the world, and I'll be damned if I'm gonna spend my last night with you."

Song For Eagles

For the generation that would be my children...

We were the generation of blown minds
the one that the hinge turned on
the one the world turned on...the one the world "turned onto".. things.
they blew our minds
they passed the grass
"acid" test
the "me" generation

did they care enough about the "you" generation?
we were guinea pigs
they told us to smoke this, don't worry about it
later we were in mental hospitals

but you came along
your generation rose out of the pit that was ours
there you were - strong
and you can do and be so many things we cannot be - go where we cannot
carry the torch

fly eagle
fly to the seas
fly to the mountains
fly to the streams
where we can never be
to the things we could never reach, the things we could never be

fly eagle
soar
be what you can be
reach what you can reach

I won't hold you back with the bitterness of my tears of my lost years
I won't give him that one last victory, to hold you back by groveling in my self pity
To try to keep you from trying
To keep you from flying

Proverb: (by whom?)
"And with what do we pay when we purchase the truth? Why, young man,
we buy it with our time, and with our youth."

The Inn Alternative

"There was no room for them in the inn."
I thought of a ministry that could be created for the winter holidays. Please use this idea.

The name of it would be "The Inn Alternative" because it is a refuge on the holidays, like Mary and Joseph's refuge. It would exist for those who have no where to go, and this would run the gamut from those with no family to those who are visiting from out of state or out of country. There would be a dinner on both Thanksgiving and Christmas.

This would not just be in a church, as is often the case but would be advertised city-wide, and would take place in a restaurant open on the holidays. This would be like a support group.

After advertising the ministry, the people who want to attend would have a meeting place where they can decide if they want to spend the holidays with these people, discuss where to have the dinners, and how each one will pay for them. If someone doesn't have money it would be provided for them, perhaps through donations. Some kind of down payment should be made so the leaders know who is going to be there.

Is this a good idea, or is it already "covered" by churches that have free dinners? I got this idea from having a lot of depression and stress during past winter holidays, when I needed to be ministered to and have a substitute for family. The important thing is having the dinners take place on the actual day. New Year's eve and day could be added to the holidays that are celebrated.

The leaders should be prepared for crisis intervention, such as suicide counseling.

Politically Correct Christmas Greeting

Kingdavid will just have to forgive me but when i find something funny, I have to put it here. After all, not everyone who comes here is going to The Far Wright as well, just as everyone who goes to his site isn't visiting here.

For My Republican Friends:
Here's wishing all of You a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

For My Democratic Friends:
"Please accept with no obligation, explicit or implied, our best wishes for an environmentally conscious, socially responsible, low-stress, non-addictive, gender-neutral celebration of the winter solstice holiday, practiced within the most enjoyable traditions of the religious persuasion of your choice, or secular practices of your choice, with respect for the religious/secular persuasion and/or traditions of others, or their choice not to practice religious or secular traditions at all. We also wish you a fiscally successful, personally fulfilling and medically uncomplicated recognition of the onset of the generally accepted calendar year 2007, but not without due respect for the calendars of choice of other cultures whose contributions to society have helped make America great. Not to imply that America is necessarily greater than any other country nor the only America in the Western Hemisphere. And without regard to the race, creed, color, age, physical ability, religious faith or sexual preference of the wishee. By accepting these greetings you are accepting these terms. This greeting is subject to clarification or withdrawal. It is freely transferable with no alteration to the original greeting. It implies no promise by the wisher to actually implement any of the wishes for herself or himself or others, and is void where prohibited by law and is revocable at the sole discretion of the wisher. This wish is warranted to perform as expected within the usual application of good tidings for a period of one year or until the issuance of a subsequent holiday greeting, whichever comes first, and warranty is limited to replacement of this wish or issuance of a new wish at the sole discretion of the wisher."

Church Bloopers

I stole this from kingdavid and if he wants to fine me, what can I do? It's just that this is one of the funniest things I've seen in a long time. Church can be a very hilarious place, after all.

These sentences actually appeared in church bulletins or were announced in church services:

* The Fasting & Prayer Conference includes meals
* The sermon this morning: 'Jesus Walks on the Water.' The sermon tonight: 'Searching for Jesus.'
* Our youth basketball team is back in action Wednesday at 8 PM in the recreation hall. Come out and watch us kill Christ the King.
* Ladies, don't forget the rummage sale. It's a chance to get rid of those things not worth keeping around the house. Bring your husbands.
* The peacemaking meeting scheduled for today has been canceled due to a conflict.
* Remember in prayer the many who are sick of our community.
* Smile at someone who is hard to love. Say 'Hell' to someone who doesn't care much about you.
* Don't let worry kill you off. Let the Church help.
* Miss Charlene Mason sang, 'I will not pass this way again,' giving obvious pleasure to the congregation
* For those of you who have children and don't know it, we have a nursery downstairs.
* Next Thursday there will be tryouts for the choir. They need all the help they can get.
* The Rector will preach his farewell message after which the choir will sing: 'Break Forth into Joy.'
* Irving Benson and Jessie Carter were married on October 24 in the church. So ends a friendship that began in their school days!
* A bean supper will be held on Tuesday evening in the church hall. Music will follow.
* At the evening service tonight, the sermon topic will be 'What Is Hell?' Come early and listen to our choir practice.
* Eight new choir robes are currently needed due to the addition of several new members and to the deterioration of some older ones.
* Scouts are saving aluminum cans, bottles and other items to be recycled. Proceeds will be used to cripple children.
* Please place your donation in the envelope along with the deceased person you want remembered.
* The church will host an evening of fine dining, super entertainment and gracious hostility.
* Potluck supper Sunday at 5:00 PM. Prayer and medication to follow.
* The ladies of the Church have cast off clothing of every kind. They may be seen in the basement on Friday afternoon.
* This evening at 7 PM there will be a hymn-sing in the park across from the Church. Bring a blanket and come prepared to sin.

* The Associate Minister unveiled the church's new tithing campaign slogan last Sunday: 'I Upped My Pledge, Up Yours.'

Sexual Schizophrenia

Oh my g_d! I just cannot believe what is happening to kids in our society and the confused messages they are getting.

How, in a sex permeated society, do we explain to children that they are sexually harassing other kids by touching them in certain ways that they don't even perceive as sexual, while crowning an underage, sexually promiscuous and perverted woman as our own representative? (Miss USA)

I just read an article in Townhall by Dennis Prager about a kindergartener being slapped for sexual harassment. He pinched a girl's butt! He will have it on his record until middle school?! What kind of schizophrenic madness is that? We then teach our children about sex by starting out telling them that they are being sexual when they didn't even know it?

This is too too scary. And there was another article in Townhall by a woman talking about how feminism was supposed to teach women how to be empowered by their liberated sexuality. She mentions pagan women who would put the moves on young men instead of the other way around. Don't they see that this further empowers men?

I look around and say, "it's more of a man's world than ever!" Men are thrilled that women are being liberated to fully explore their sexuality. That means more free sex with no strings attached for them, the dream of every man in his wild, unbridled state. Women have been a civilizing force. The women of my mom's generation (WWII) were in control because they demanded that their men marry them, and that they "buy the cow."

So, we lose that civilizing force, and we lose civilization!

I can just see men of today with a wry smile, an unseen smile curling their lips as they muse, "more sex for me!" But while there is more sexual freedom, there is more paranoia about sexual harassment. It's schizophrenic.

Add to this an article in ABC news about a 17 year old getting 10 years in prison for oral sex with a 15 year old because she cried "rape."

So, girls think they are getting some new freedom and that they are in control, like pagan women, when they are playing right into the hands of men who want control.

I am terrified for our girls and our young men. What is going to happen after this? I am totally ashamed at us for taking such a morally confused woman as our "Miss USA"

Also, I know from studying pagan society and religion, a little, that while a few women had power and solicited sex from men, most of the women were subjugated by these women to a low state, a slavish state, and men still had a lot of power.

I used hammerswing75's photo and I hope he doesn't mind. By the way, everything on my blog is fair game for anyone. You can use my jokes - whatever.

I even put business ideas on here from time to time, and expect someone will take one and use it. Before blogging I had these big ideas about selling my essays, some of which are on here, or my business ideas, and then got wind of how much is offered for free on the internet and I thought, "what the hey(?), join the party!"

Beta IS Betta

Now, can you see? I have pics for my profile and colors that I wanted in the background. I still need to learn how to customize the background more.

I've been able to personalize this blog so much more!

The only problem I'm encountering is that when I put a pic in a post I can't move it to a new spot in my post. I can't click and drag it because the page won't scroll while I'm trying to drag it.

All the other problems have been resolved.

I still want the music thing, but one thing at a time.

My music choice for this interim would be a couple of tunes by Third Day. I have discovered Third Day as the most prolific of musicians, making song after song that speaks my heart! I haven't even downloaded everything that I love of theirs yet. No matter which secular artists I enjoy, such as Snow Patrol, the contempo Christian ones reign in my book.

Girls, would you date this man?

Other questions:

2. Could you love a man named "Mah-mood?"
3. Can you pronounce his last name?
4. Is that a toupee he's wearing?

(look at those traitors in front of him, those "Ortho" Jews who are anti-Zionist)

The Veteran's Transition Center

The Strib (Minneapolis Star and Tribune), as it is called by the MOB (Minnesota Organization of Bloggers) had an article that truly struck me funny. At the Univ. of Minnesota, two young Iraq war veterans started a center for vets, though there is nothing funny about Iraq war veterans. The one pictured is the same age as these young men, but died in Iraq. He was 24, a husband and father of 3. (I'll bet he's dancing on streets of gold right now.)

Anyway, the article says that many vets are overwhelmed by the relatively petty concerns of students compared to what they have seen and experienced in the service. It says that this alienates veterans from the rest of the student body.

So, they are "naturalized" at the center into American life once again. They learn to again identify petty concerns, as important.

How would they do this? Would they hang out with girls at the mall who are concerned only with nails, clothes, boys, cell phones, etc. and try to react to petty concerns with dismay?

In response to someone freakin' over an exam they aren't prepared for, the article says that the young men used to say "you have three weeks to prepare for an exam? I had a week to prepare for going to Iraq." Now they learn to say, "Oh my goodness, that's terrible!"

Maybe they are trained to sit on couches for hours and drink beer and flip channels once again.

Or, to feel at home after being in Iraq they go to the ghetto for a visit- a war zone.

This Holy Christmas Eve

Thank you for the gift
you gave us
the love we never knew
the life dormant within us
a bud that finally grew

We cannot find words that suffice to give
or even offer the life that we should live

we only stand before you
this holy Christmas Eve

and tell you that we know you
as the truth we should believe

Over The Hedge

Along with the theme of animals living for food and wanting us for our food, I just saw this movie and it is hilarious! The raccoon, with the appropriate voice of Bruce Willis, tells the other forest animals that humans live to eat and have plenty of food, now the animals just have to figure out how to get it. He says some really funny things about humans, just the kind of things animals seem to think about us.

I picked this movie out while browsing the video store. I found so many awful films available - slashers and violence and bad sex, ugh! I plowed through all the trash, and all the movies that seemed would not live up to their promises, and picked this one. Be sure to see it.

My Husband and I have Religious Differences..

he thinks he's God and I don't.

Home Is Where The Cat Is

I thought of that one and then found out someone else already thought of it

The Pen is Mightier Than the Sword

Who said that? I love that quote. Anyway, I get an attitude when I'm blogging and I don't like it. It's like the power of pushing those buttons and doing anything we want on these pages is too much for us.

I feel like that "sword" is one that I'm swinging around and lopping off limbs with. I mean, it's just too much power. And yes, I sense a fair measure of bitterness coming up. Or should I say, if I feed bitterness at all, with too sardonic of humor, or whatever, then I give it power and it takes over me. I wake up in the morning with this bad feeling like a bad hangover.

Pray for me! Just pray for me!

from a card shop in Missouri-

I found the perfect gift for you...

but you don't need it, and it's too expensive and I can't afford it, and Christmas is so materialistic and we might as well give the money we would otherwise spend on gifts to charity, so I'm not buying it! What was it? Never mind.

Eden orig. greeting card

It's That Time of Year Again

It seems that when Christmas rolls around there is a sense of discontent, or unhappiness out there. Maybe there are plenty of people who do OK until this season that emphasizes the importance of family and relationships comes again. I've had unbearable times at Christmas in the past, being emotionally and mentally distraught, but this year is gonna be better.

I remember Joyce Meyer, in my formative years (as a Christian) saying: first one must work on one's relationship with God, and then with people, in that order. And that makes sense to me because I was closed up to God for a good while until a day came when I wanted more relationships with people. I lived alone with three cats and was in deep fellowship with God.

I would worship Him in my home and read His word and good books. I worked on my relationship with God. Then one day I found I needed a roomate. I got the best roomate, the perfect roomate - this young lady who went to a Christian college where I also went for a while. This was a healing time for me. I even got rid of two of my cats, partly because I felt that I had replaced people with cats and didn't want to do that anymore. (later I regretted it and went out and got Tubby, a new cat)

Anyway, it must be that plenty of folks have gotten their careers underway, but somehow haven't succeeded in the relationship area, and most likely, that starts with their relationship to God.

Once there are hurts and disappointments, resentment is the easiest thing to feel. That spirit of resentment can be like a giant hawk or vulture trying to impale my heart with its claw, saying, "you must be resentful too! I'm not letting you go!" Ach. That's why Jesus says the Son will set you free. Resentment is bondage.

I have progressed, I think, now to the point where I am living with my parents again - something I didn't think possible. I am really enjoying living with them, and if you've read what I've said about my dad, you'd know this is progress. There is also healing in my rel. to my siblings. I went traveling because I wanted to meet and connect with lots of people, and did. The time of fellowship with God and His word changed me!

I just pray for any of you hurting at this time of year. I pray that if you are lonely you will find God in that lonely place, and develop your relationship with Him. And that from there your relationship to humans will improve more and more. Having a family (or not) doesn't matter as much as having a relationship to God. And may you truly be merry this Christmas!

Now There is a Contest

to have the "best" blog. Go to 2006 Weblog Awards Oh brother! Now we have competition in another area altogether. We live in a much too competitive society where an individual can't be valued in his own rite, do you think? Comparing blogs is like comparing one person's friends to someone else's friends. It's totally personal. Like I could say one person's blog is my favorite, but then all my other blogging visitors would be hurt, maybe.

Beta is Betta?

I have worked out some very important problems, thanks to kingdavid, by switching to beta. I can make bold print, italics, place an URL in a sentence that you can click on so it will take you to that site, and I now have a list of links. So, beta is betta, in some ways.

I thought I solved my problem with how to click and drag photos and text within a post. But, it still gives me problems. I can highlight, click and drag, but not if it requires scrolling down the page. Photo downloading onto posts has been OK until blogger suddenly freezes and won't allow it.

And, I still can't get a photo on my profile. Ach. The add page feature for the square that appears just above, About Me and Links, etc. offers a photo download. When I go to get a photo on there, it allows me to browse, go into my computer, open the file with my photo, and upload, but the circling thing with the exclamation point in the middle of the triangle thing just keeps circling and circling and never stops. The upload isn't complete then.

Now when I want to back up from leaving comments, there is a window to contest with that asks to select a button saying, yes, I want to gravitate away from this page and it's annoying.

And, since beta, there have been far too many freezes where a window comes up saying it's a google error, and the server is having a problem, "wait 30 seconds."

I am still wondering how to add music to my blog, such as Kev did on his blog, and how to customize the background of my blog. I want red, white and blue in my background. If anyone can tell me how, I'd appreciate it.

My Political Stance

I'm actually very naive politically. I don't know if I'm just lazy, but I don't know a whole lot. But I can look at people and see character, and I can look at issues and see the gist of them, even if I don't get all the details. We have come to a dramatic point in history, where things have never been more black and white. I'm sorry, but if you choose the liberal mindset, you are deceived, because it is dangerous, very dangerous.

I am convinced that the liberal mind is conceived in excessive prosperity and complacency. It is forged in the belief that one has the luxury of sitting back and choosing things that sound compassionate or open-hearted, or just sounds like one is more reasonable and open-minded, instead of seeing urgency and danger. It is not founded on reality.

Terrorists, who are forged in third world countries where most of the people are desperate and taught to hate us for our prosperity, and who may be right about the corruption it has produced in us, are not trying to teach us the error of our ways. They are out to simply kill and destroy us. They are not open-minded and compassionate. They are plotting at this moment whatever surprise attack they can conjure, which we've already seen can be cunning and unprecedented. 9/11 was only the beginning!

They also have at their base the exact same hatred that propelled Hitler - they hate the Jews and have a firm belief that America is run by the Jews. They are plotting every day how to spill our blood - our precious blood. Liberals will then say, to be open-minded, "but we are shedding their precious blood!" But this is the result of war. When someone declares war on you, you fight back. You have no choice. It's do or die.

Liberals are deceived because they don't recognize one basic truth: War has already been declared on us by a new Hitler! I can't believe the naive response to 9/11 that pervades our country. Now that it is past, many look back at 9/11 and put a nice bow around it and say, "how sad that this happened," and go on with acquiring material goods and being comfortable.

When the attacks of 9/11 occurred, war was being declared on us by the radical Muslim third world. We have no choice. It seems so stupid to me to disagree with the war in Iraq when we are already at war whether we like it or not! What will it take? It will take all of the liberals having their children beheaded by the terrorists who hate them. And that goes for the English and French and German westerners as well. Unless, after the beheading they say, "those poor terrorists must have it pretty bad back home. That's OK, I don't need kids."

I can hardly bear the naivety that I see, and the unbearable liberal slant of the media that helps to perpetuate it.

As for Republican versus Democrat, I can't believe that Democrats who prefer to be thought of as devout Christians, can't see the black and white issues: abortion, stem cell research on human embryos, wasting our money, defending the right of terrorists to kill us, homosexual marriage, etc. etc. etc. I can't even talk about this without getting livid! Voting Democrat because Dems cleverly exposed one Republican for his indiscretions, or one pastor who doesn't reflect the character of even half of pastors country-wide is ridiculous! There, I have said it. That is my stance. You can't change it, you just have to live with it, or just ignore me.

BLOGGING IS GREAT!

I am waiting to get approved for financial aid to go back to school and I'll be studying video production, which of course opens the door to work in film. In the meantime I'm working a dull, boring job doing a type of sales so dumb I don't even want to tell you.

Anyway, during this interim, I find blogging to be part of my sanity, spending hours a day on the internet. And why is it so great? It is how each person shows the best of him/herself. Each blogger is giving a beautiful capsule of his/her life and each of us can go to the site and have our horizons broadened, and get a shot of humor or something thought provoking to keep us going.

This way we live above a mere existence. This is a way for Christians to live out their faith. This is a way for others, like a sweet young man from the United Arab Emirates who visited my blog months ago, can learn more about our American life or our Christian life. Of course, we can learn more about them too.

The best thing about it is that it's a way to get published now! We push one button that says "publish!" How many of us have wished to write a book or a film but wondered if it would ever get read? Thank you all for your blogs and your good work putting them together. As time goes on my list of sites to visit grows and my horizons keep getting broader!

Only for Survival

ABC news reports that an Oregon woman was stranded for 9 days in the frozen wilderness with her baby daughters and kept them alive by breast-feeding them, until rescued by a copter.






It made me think of how all you guys would probably wish to get stuck with a woman in a frozen wilderness for say, a month with only one source of survival...well, I think you know where I'm headed with this...and I'm treading on thin ice here.

I Voted For Good Looking!

I don't know if you've noticed, but you could vote Republican simply because you wanted to vote for the best looking people. Theory why Republicans are better looking: they aren't blown about by every wind of every change and they aren't so openminded that their brains are falling out. Note: Sarah Durenberger's opponent not pictured because I can't remember who her opponent was, but probably not someone good looking.
