Lost

Dearest My Peeps,

This mightn't be a very original way to go about it, but check out the following link!

www.lost.eu/4464c

I copied my brother's idea too, only I didn't do it on my forehead. The only online picture I have of my long lost Emily Vive is much more my style. Credit for the idea goes entirely to Douglas Theodore Mullin, brother AND friend. I mostly only put the link above so you could click on it easier.

Cheers to you! Cake & cookies too!

Abortion & stuffs.

Dearest My Peeps,
I just responded to a message on a friend's facebook. It was about abortion. It got me thinking about it again. I can't see how anybody should have the privilege to kill an innocent child who cannot defend themselves, yet at the same time, why should they be forced through with a bad pregnancy?
I know I personally could never get an abortion, but that's me. I can't live anybody else's life for them, how can I try to tell them how to live? Here, I'll copy & paste my note from Facebook.

"I totally don't know if I'm pro-life or pro-choice. To be honest, I'm a mix of both. What catches me hardest is in the States. Under Bush Sr. & the president before him, the "pro-life" presidents, the abortion rates skyrocketed. But when Clinton was in power, the "pro-choice" president, the abortion rate plummeted.The problem with most pro-life people is that they don't care beyond getting the child born. Once the fetus is born, they stop caring about it & leave it alone. That's not the point at all. Pro-choice is about having the choice to have the baby or not. And a lot of people choose not to have the child simply because they know they cannot look after a child the way a child needs & deserves. If they honestly had a choice, a lot more women wouldn't bother with abortions.
But they don't have a choice. It's either have the baby & watch your child grow up in poverty & ruin or have an abortion & be almost certain that the child is better off than in the cirumstances into which it would be born & raised through.So I'm torn on the whole issue. I can't see how anybody should have the right to murder somebody that can't defend themselves. But at the same time, it should be the woman's choice what to do & how to do it. Personally, I'd much rather have the clinics availble. At least that way you know the abortion will be safe & that the woman will come through it almost in one piece. Because abortions will happen one way or the other & it has to be better to have them done in a safe & clean environment.Not that I'd ever be able to go through with it myself. I feel guilty when I spray a spider with Raid, let alone taking the life of my own child. But those who feel they need to, for whatever reason, should be able to."

And next I've put a link to an article that describes my feelings on the matter quite throughly. My brother sent it through to me ages ago & I was very impressed with how it stated it all.

http://www.sojo.net/index.cfm?action=magazine.article&issue=soj0406&article=040610

Other than that, not much is going on. It just got me thinking about the whole thing again. I don't want abortions to be illegal. That's one of the stupidest moves the government could make. They need to make it so that abortions aren't so many people's ONLY option. *flailing* Honestly!

Cheers to you! Cake & cookies too!

Passports and madness

Dearest My Peeps,
Apparently I'm something of an idiot. But then again, I always did know that. I was all excited in Janurary & February to renew my passport. I had to get it renewed before it went expired. I jsut realized that it expires May 5th. That's like TWO weeks away. Not only that, it's nearly $100 to renew it. Oi. I feel quite stupid. Ah well, I suppose, it's not like I'm planning to do any travelling any time very soon. I'll survive without one for a few months. I'll definately have to renew sometime though. I quite mean to travel eventually. All over the world if I can, though I'll settle for a trip to my Celtic Isles. Note that "my". Not the Celtic Isles, MINE! ALL MINE!

If I thought I could move there, I think I just might. Sure it's be inconvient for seeing my folks, but it's Scotland, it's Ireland. It's my roots & home, even beyond this here Miramichi Valley. Not that there's anything wrong with here, I'll stay as long as I can, but still. I dunno. There's just this something about there that I want. I don't rightly know precisely what it is or anything, but I want to at least visit someday, before I'm too old to enjoy it.

I guess I'll have to start saving my pennies for that instead of for a Wii. I DO want a Wii though too. But I can wait for now. Mostly because I have to.

Not too much is going on. I've vegged most of the day. A movie that I ordered at work is in already too. It's great. It was on back order so I didn't expect it for ages, but it's totally came in right fast. It's only been maybe a month & a half. At most. HOORAY!

Pinky is at the doctor again. He's finally getting his tuneup. He needs to have his tires changed to summer tires again sometime really very soon. This pay check in fact. I'll live without a new game or movie or book or cd or something. I shouldn't be buying them all anyway. Needless waste of money when it comes right down to it.

Anyhow, I'm off for now. I don't know why, I just needed to blog. Have a super day!

Celebrity look alikes??

Dearest My Peeps,
So I found this cool celebrity look alike thing through a cousin's profile in facebook. Why is this picture all guys!? AND OLD GUYS TOO! *flailing*

http://www.myheritage.com

This one's a little better. At least it's mostly girls. Problem is that the picture is from 2002!

http://www.myheritage.com

This one at least has some cool names with it, even if it is from Fall 2005. I'm still not sure what's up with all these guys! But hey, at least Viggo's hot!

http://www.myheritage.com

And the last two pictures have no matches at all! DUDE! What on earth is going on? Either I'm incredibly just like nobody but me OR I look like a man OR this site is CRAZY!




Ah well, I like me the way I am. No holds barred, excluded my weight. Oi. Not that I'm fat, but I am overweight & that's really very needless. Anyhow, this is me heading out before I get frustrated with this whole shebackle. Nonsense! *more flailing*

Cheers to you!

Hooray for no sneezes!

Dearest My Peeps,
I'm mostly better. I don't know who all cares, if anybody, but that's beside thep oint. I'm still slightly stuffed up, but nothing like I was. And hooray! There's no sneezing involved anymore. At least, hardly any at any rate.

Not much else is new. Patrick & I are going to his friend's wedding on May 5th. Not that it's new, but it's closer now, so it matters now. I totally even have a new shirt & everything. I needed one. I wasn't showing up in the scruffy stuff I have now for it. Nope, uh-un, nothing doing. It's a wedding & I have more respect for people than that.

Anyhow, I'm headed out for now. I posted something accidentally instead of saving as draft, so I took that as a sign from God that I should blog. Rather, as a sign that I'm far too tired to be allowed near a computer, but none the less, it resulted in a blog.

Cheers to you! Cake & cookies too!

Still a cold.

Dearest My Peeps,

So I've still got that stupid cold. It's not nearly so frustrating though. The advil finally kicked in yesterday and made my head stop hurting. After that, I spent the day being sleepy. I managed not to have a nap though and was in bed by 10:30 last night. I discovered that the oen problem with going to bed early is that you get up that much earlier as well because you've slept 11 hours and you can't sleep anymore. Oh well, c'est la vie. My nose is still stuffy, but I'm not sneezing mucho grande.

I actually feel a little better about myself too. I developed my cold over Tuesday evening whilst at home. Lad at work developed one Tuesday night at home whilst sleeping. So it's totally not just me. It's not completely because I'm a stupid moron that I've managed to catch this cold. It's partially just that it's making its rounds of everybody and anybody it feels is vunerable.

Stupid vunerability.

Cheers to you! Cake & cookies too!
God bless!

"If you fell down yesterday, Stand up today!" -H.G. Wells

Colds & such.

Dearest My Peeps,
I think I must be coming down with some kind of head cold. The pressure in my head is keeping me from sleep, in spite that I am exhausted, having only gotten to bed by 1:30. I just couldn't sleep. I ended up coming upstairs & sleeping on the couch, & when I finally did fall asleep, slept very poorly.

My nose is stuffed up too. One side is running freely, the other side wants to, but refuses to let me blow it. "Crazy I am slowly going. 123456 Switch! Switch! 654321 Going slowly am I crazy!" GAH! I don't think that's precisely how it goes, but it's more or less the truth. I dunno why I thought maybe if I blogged it might help. It's not helping at all.

I'm going to go blow my nose again, or least try too. I guess it must be my own fault I'm sick. I've been wearing my sandals pretty much constantly now for several weeks. The only days I don't are the days of storms. Then I do wear my boots, but within a day or at most 2 I switch back to my sandals & almost always end up having to wade through snow. Stupid snow. I wish it would go away. It's April. Snow is awesome from sometime in november till about the end of March. Well, it's after March!

Anyhow, blogging isn't helping at all really, so I'm going to head out for now. Blow my nose (yes again) and go lay down again. I took some advil, but I guess it hasn't had time to kick in yet.

Cheers to you all! Cake & cookies too!
God Bless!

"A man is known by the company he keeps." -Gaelic Proverb

Dearest My Peeps,
I have five posts that are saved as drafts because I have yet to get around to doing up the various quizzes they contain. That really is a little excessive.

War. I just read a "Dear Canada" book on the Halifax Explosion that happened December 6th, 1917. It was a direct result of World War 1, though fortunately, an accident. Regrettable, horrifying, revolting, hideous, AND atrocious! (Yes, I totally cheated & used www.thesaurus.com. I knew lots of words that would suffice, but I wanted big, fancy ones and I didn't want to have to think about it much.)

Anyhow, I've been thinking rather a lot about war lately. Go figure, what with all the wars going on worldwide. With all the press & all the casualities & all the pain & suffering & agony. (I didn't use www.thesaurus.com that time, or it'd have been more along the lines of "distress & anguish & misery" again, all words I know, but didn't care enough to take the time to think of. Give me a break, it's late & I've been tired for several hours now. But I can't go to bed. I must write while I can. I don't know. I just have too. However, I promise it'll be the last time I use my trusty thesaurus. It really is rather too much effort for a sleepy person.)

I hardly know what to write, or how to write it, or what to say. I utterly abhor war. It is evil & loathsome & I sincerely wish it needn't exist. But the more I think about it, the more I come to realize that as long as humans are in charge, there will continue to be war. There will continue to be senseless killing & needless violence & yes, tens upon hundreds upon thousands upon millions of children will continue to be orphaned daily. It is just the way this sin-riddled world is. Not only will so many children be orphaned, nearly as many will die for lack of basic human necessities, like clean water & good food & tender loving care.

"Even so, come, Lord Jesus." Revelations 22:20, KJV And I really want to tack a quickly into that. "Come quickly!" The problem is, that before He finally returns and the old heaven & the old earth pass away and the new heaven & the new earth descend, there has to be MORE war! I understand perfectly well that this is all a byproduct of sin. That it is becuase God couldn't bear to decide for us & gave every single human being freewill in the matter of whether or not to choose the Word of Life, the Saviour of the world, Jesus Christ.

" 1In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
2The same was in the beginning with God.
3All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.
4In him was life; and the life was the light of men.
5And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not."
John 14:1-5, KJV

(General notation, in this posting, I totally only use the King James Version of scripture. The website I link to provides an extensive list of other translations of scripture, and if you doubt that one can possibly be Truth, because man was sure to somehow screw it up over the past 2000 plus years, well, compare. There're loads of other translations & versions of it there, and upon comparsion, you'll find that they all say the same thing, just in different ways. There's no way that many people could screw up, not that many times, in the same way every time. No way probable, not even any way possible, barring probability totally. You'll also notice that I've linked up the references and KJV. To click on the KJV will take you to the entire chapter. The book & verse reference will in turn take you to the specific verse. That way you have the option to go & check it out for yourself, both in context AND just as a singular verse/paragraph.) I mean, I'm totally only copying and pasting, but don't take my word for it. Look into yourself if you are at all interested. It's the only way you'll ever take any of it to heart at all. And if all else fails, pray and ask God to reveal you the Truth. But be wary, because the truth can be a hard & painful thing sometimes.)

34"Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword." John 10:34, KJV
AND
51"Suppose ye that I am come to give peace on earth? I tell you, Nay; but rather division" Luke 12:51, KJV

Both times it is Jesus teaching. It's two different peoples' accounts of what happened, though they both say more or less the same thing. That because of Jesus there will be war. Family will turn against each other, people will betray their closest peeps and so on. It's even shown itself true throughout history.

But I still really don't know what to write. Most of what I've blogged has been what somebody else has written, quotations straight from the word of God. As those verses above from John so state, straight from the Word Himself. Man written, but God breathed and inspired. Straight from Heaven, sent so we might know the Father a little better before our short lives as physical beings are over.

So I'll stop. I'll have to trust to God to use what I've put somehow. I don't like war, but it is necessary to bring about the end. I'm tired of the suffering, but it's going to get worse, WAY worse, before it gets better. I might sound like a prophet of doom, but I'm only relaying the message Scripture warns us of. This last one I'm not going to post the text of. If you are at all interested, you can click the link yourself and go to the chapter to read it. But beware, it really is the end of the world as we know it. It's all just a matter of when this all will happen, not if.

Matthew 24, KJV

And here I go, signing out. Happy day!

Cheers to you! Cake and cookies too!
(Wow, I spent more time looking for those references than I realized I did. I just reread, to double check for spelling errors & it's not half as long winded as I usually am. Fancy that. Being sleepy does pay off sometimes! Cheers again!)

"Do you believe that God is present in the smile of a child, in the tears of a parent's grief over a suffering adolescent, in the sudden breakthrough of understading between quarreling spouses? Eternal truths can be learned by observing the most common elements of life: nursing an infant may be a window into God's nurturing care for each of us; bandaging a cut can help us know the healing desire of God; playing games may speak of the divine playfulness that knows our need for recreation; tending a garden may teach us the dynamics of growth. Families learn that they are sacred communities when they begin to name and claim the many forms of God's grace in their daily life." -Marjorie J. Thompson

Belief

Dearest My Peeps,

Dude. Dad found a thing online about "Where did the expression 'to knock on wood' come from?" tonight. I totally looked up from my book & answered that people used to knock on the wood to call out the spirits from inside it to protect them. Well, I had it slightly wrong, they knocked on it to wake the Dryad inside the tree to come to their defence. Mum then totally made a snarky remark about how "someone" is apparently fascinated with dryads & the trees & all that in Narnia now, aren't they?

I had simply been answering his question; I wasn't trying to condemn or judge the people who used to believe that. But the way she reacted was like I was all down on them for their beliefs and what could I say anyway?

I wouldn't condemn anyone for their beliefs. Belief is my life. I might let them know that from my stand point they're wrong, but they could do the same back to me. It doesn't matter. I will believe what I believe, & I know I'm right. That's just the way it is. I know I'm right & one day, every human to ever have existed will bow the knee & call Jesus "Lord". But if they don't care to acknowledge Him in life, that's their problem. I might let them know they're wrong, but it's up to them to live their lives how they want to. If I want to be free to believe what I need & want to believe, everybody else needs to be free to believe what they need &/or want to believe. It's just the way of life. If you expect to be treated a certain way, treat others in that way. Common sense.

The difference between Narnia & calling on the Dryads in trees to save me is that I don't actually believe I will ever get to Narnia or that it's a tangible place that can save me. Sure, it's perfectly logical that there are multiple universes, but that doesn't mean we'll ever get to them. I mean, if God can create one universe that's so complex, who are we to say that He can't create multiple ones that coexist side by side? We've only discovered that the earth isn't the center of the universe recently. How do we know that the universe is the center of all creation? Who are we to limit God in such a way?

The difference between the 'mythical' creatures of Narnia & the 'mythical' creatures of Earth is very little. They may or may not exist. They could have been driven to extinction by humanity. Gracious knows that they find new species of creatures on a very regular basis. How do we know that there aren't more that we never knew about? Or that it's been so long since we knew of them that they've passed from history into legend, then from legend into myth?

So what if I choose to believe in faeries, in Santa Claus, in Aslan, in other worlds? People aren't scoffed at for believeing in angels or demons or the spirit realm, but it's not like you can see them either. It's just that they were mentioned in scripture, that's the only difference. The main thing is that I believe in the one True God, the Maker of everything. That I've met & personally know Jesus Christ, the Son of the Most High God, Yahweh, the Alpha & Omega, Beginning & the End, the Everlasting Father.

I don't understand why she doesn't get this. Jesus is my best friend. John 14, verse 6, New Living Translation, "Jesus told him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one can come to the Father except through me." I know that.

Matthew 11, verses 28 through 30, New Living Translation, "Then Jesus said, “Come to Me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you. Let Me teach you, because I am humble and gentle at heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy to bear, and the burden I give you is light.” In context, Jesus has jsut finished praying & was speaking to His disciples. I've taken His burden. It's so much easier than my own, I don't ever want to give it back. But scripture left a lot open to interpretation. Much of it is historical fact. Stories that explain what happened & how & where & such. John 21 verse 25, New Living Translation, "Jesus also did many other things. If they were all written down, I suppose the whole world could not contain the books that would be written." It doesn't cover it all, there's no way it could ever be big enough to. So we don't know that there aren't faeries or other worlds just around the corner. Who are we to limit God? And by saying they don't exist, we are doing just that.

I daren't limit God. If He can make me, He can do anything. I'm quite a complex physical creature. How does a spider know how to make a web? How can a bird tell just when it'll be warm enough to venture north again? How does a baby know when it's time to be born? How does the oak tree grow from an acorn? Honestly though. If He can do that, He can make 'mythical' creatures too. I use the term 'mythical' with care. Germs used to be 'mythical' & yet they cause more sickness than ever each day. A round planet used to be 'mythical', yet the earth is a globe.

Anyhow, enough ranting from me tonight. Belief is my life, much more simply put. Everything is possible, though admittedly, not all things are probable. Life goes on. I hope you're all doing super! Have a great day!

Cheers to you! Cake & cookies too!

"In the Christian religion, God has revealed himself: that is to say, He has allowed human being beings to understand what He is, so that He is no longer hidden and secret. With the possibility of our knowing God, the obligation to know Him is placed on us. God wants no narrow-minded souls and empty heads for his children. Rather, He wants those who (however poor in spirit) are rich in the knowledge of Him, and place the highest value in the knowledge in the is knowledge of Him." -Hegel

Dearest My Peeps,

Hi. How're you? I'm doing alright. Not super amazing or anything, but not super horrible either. Life is good. I hope all fares well for you too. I just wanted to drop in & say hi to my peeps properly, without quizzing like I've been doing so much of lately.

Cheers to you! Cake & cookies too!
