I miss yoiu Card

Yesterday was an interesting day.

I think God sent me a message letting me know that he missed me and that he was still my friend. As much as I would not have admitted it, that's exactly what I needed to hear...

We talked last night...

I feel better now too

My D-day Landing

By Liam, St Mary's School, Overton, Wrexham.

The hellish shells flying here and there,
My clothes were ragged they had a tear.
The landing craft was cramped and rusty,
My equipment was wet dirty and dusty.

We jumped off the boat feeling hungry and ill,
Although I was feeling this I had to kill.
The Germans attacked with all their force,
They showed no mercy, no remorse.

I jumped in a trench once on the beach,
I knew where to go what to reach.
With rifle in hand I ran for my life,
D-day was horror a chaotic strife.

I felt so soulless like a killing machine,
Bullets so fast they could hardly be seen.
We advanced from D-day away from battle,
Next through a meadow here lay cattle.

We took some villages and took 'em quick,
I fought and killed yet still felt sick.
My back was aching my feet were sore,
This was my life during the war.

And when he gets to Heaven's gate,
To St Peter he will tell,
One more soldier-reporting sir,
I've served my time in hell.

Beautiful

I Love the Word Beautiful. It is used in so many ways, but it still means the same things...

Beautiful Woman, Beautiful smell, Beautiful sight - these express the first and most commonly held meaning of the word beauty. These are things that are pleasing to the senses, and brings smiles to peoples faces.

Beautiful love, Beautiful look, Beautiful child - these are phrases expressing the wonder of relationships, The joy of sharing life with other people.

Beautiful mind, Beautiful collision, Beautiful mistake - Even the damaged, the imperfect, the broken can be Beautiful. This is my favorite part of the word. Beauty does not imply perfection.

Beautiful clouds, Beautiful animal, Beautiful mountains - God shows off his handiwork in nature by making us in awe.

Beautiful cars, Beautiful movie, Beautiful landscape - God also gifted man with his creativity and ingenuity when it comes to creating beauty.

Beautiful One, Beautiful princess, Beautiful Jessie - Enough Said =D

Cleaning

So cleaning is not that bad... its just grind of knowing you will have to do it again as soon as it gets messy. That must be why I don't mind cleaning for other people...they are making the mess not me! :D

Manly Men

There are some pretty Manly Men out there...

Chuck Norris
Hugh Jackman
Arnold Schwarzenegger

just to name a few.

It's interesting the kind of men we portray and honor in our movies as well. we have characters like Wolverine, Spiderman, Captain Kirk, James Bond, The Godfather, etc...

I would like to point out the kind of hero I most respect.

Bruce Willis in the Die Hard series is pretty darn manly and hardcore, killing terrorists, blowing up buildings, jets, and even destroyed a flying helicopter with a car once! but in the midst of all this my favorite scene of him is in Die Hard 2.

He is waiting for the (very pretty) airport clerk to hand him an important fax when she says, "how about dinner with me, I get off in a half hour". Bruce holds up his wedding band, points it out, and charmingly says, "just the fax babe".

Meanwhile, the Godfather kills for no reason, Kirk has a woman on every planet, and Bond hasn't even seen a girl he hasn't slept with.

Bruce Willis is a man...

****

And now for something (kinda) on the subject that I found funny:

ha HA!!

Health and car insurance for when i'm married will not kill us!!

In fact, We'll be ok!!!

ha, HA!!!

...

That is all.

bleh...

I Ache from my core to my knees and elbows. Past that I'm numb. I can't breath with my nose which only makes my throat dryer, and when I sneeze, my ears ring and lights get disorientingly bright.

I'm too tired to sleep apparently too. I really want to ask someone else to work for me tomorrow or to skip church. Alas, company is over however...

Yay!

Beautiful Girl is making me Beautiful Baked Macaroni And Cheese.

And we are going to cuddle and watch a movie together.

And there is no one here to stop us, nothing here to interrupt us, and no responsibilities that keep us apart.

We get to spend time together again!

I've missed you Jessie... :D

Merry Christmas

Ah, Christmas time. A time of family, friends, food, and gift giving. that last is the one everyone thinks of isn't it?

I think I've discovered a secret subliminal message.

"Merry Christmas"

Who said it - What it means

Random Stranger - "I'm being polite"
Postal Worker - Thanks for the Extra hours
Retail worker - Your signing my check buying here
Panera Employee - Got out of the way there are 20 people in line behind you
Your boss - Glad YOU get holidays off

Ah, good ol' American Capitalism is alive and well...

Stupid

Did you have to use that word?

Should I be worried...

...that I can't think of anything to say that would be appropriate for the World Wide Web to see?

People

Yesterday at Panera bread, I was reminded that people are not just tools. People are people, created in the Image of God, and paid for by the blood of Christ. Each and everyone of them unique. It was two mentally disabled strangers that reminded me of this.

Why did it take them? Why couldn't it have been my friends I've been abusing? What my roommate I've been taking advantage of? Or my Finance' whom I have been a stranger too?

Got this from Mosaic Mercy...

Jesus is washing Obama's feet...

And Osama...

And George W. Bush...

Do we forget our Lord's great Love for ALL men?

How I feel...

Give me wings,
Give me peace.
These are the things that I need.
I'm tormented, broken and shamed
Are you listening?

Give me shelter from the storm,
I know it's a lot to ask for,
Considering how recent I've piled the dirt on your name.
Are you listening?

In this where I am for your sake,
Stuck between sleep and awake?
My mind is dreaming of things.
Are you listening?

I took you for granted again
And threw you aside
And pretended for one minute that I had control of my life,
And direction it seemed to be in
I was wrong again...
are you listening?

I will wait for you to come again,
And I can't pretend like I'm confident
And I can't pretend like it makes much sense when it doesn't.

Stories

I've been Reading(A Million Miles in a Thousand Years) about how Donald Miller has learned more about himself but simply studying the dynamics of a story. I've learned recently about how I've become the antagonist in my story, instead of the protagonist. Reading this book makes me want to live more intentionally.

I find it quite ironic that, recently, I have been pushing the players in my RPG group to learn who their characters are, and to act as if they are that character. I want them to Role-Play Intentionally. Why is it such a big deal? Grand quests, epic adventures, and heroism are tasks achieved by people, not robots. Why does a story work that way? According to Donald Miller, "Stories are a condensed form of life".

Oh Snap!

If I want to have a life full of grand adventures, heroism, and excitement, I need to start living like a person who cares about things, who has beliefs and opinions. People without many opinions or much drive to fight for them are the easiest to get along with, but those people with opinions who can tell you all about them without destroying you are the most interesting, popular, and Fun people. Its the people who believe in something so strongly that they are willing to DO SOMETHING about it who are the leaders of peoples hearts and minds.
