Midgets?

Who said anything about midgets??

I didn't mention midgets at all ever (Until now) so obviously Sirah (Or one of the less than full functioning pieces of Sirah) is the one trying to confuse you.

Then she tries to blame it on me.....

Sheeesh, just because I let her secret out she's all upset now.

Just finished a way cool book...

Well I just finished a cool book that I'm gonna talk to Michael and see if this could be one of the required reading for the Pismo trip.

Here is a snipet, snippette, snipette??
Here's a small part of what I liked...

"Two People denied Jesus the night befor his death: Judas and Peter. Both wept for their mistake. What was the difference between the two? Judas turned away from God and judged himslef. Peter repented, went back to God, and let Him forgive and restore him."

Which one are you?? Do you feel so distant that you feel you can't give God a chance?

NEVER underestimate the power of Jesus to forgive and restore.

Sirah's NOT Human..

Did you know, at night, when no ones around Sirah sits around in multiple pieces.

Yes, It's true. I heard mary talking to her about it on the phone. I think next time I'll hafta run over and see lots of little Sirah's sitting around...LOL

Now I'm thinking of "Army of Darkness" , a goofy campy movie directed by Sam Rami (Who also Directed "For The Love Of The Game" & "Spider-Man")

Anyway, I heard Mary tell her she should get herself together before she comes over (Mary spoiled it, I would have love to have sen lots of lil' Sirah's marching over to our house). I don't know how little they are so it could have looked like an ant trail or maybe just munchkins on parade. Speaking of munchkins, we are also going to see Ms. 4' Nothin' tonight too.

Oh the joy, the fun, THE SARCASM....

Ok, I'll update y'all laterssss

Apple Pie & Chevrolet...

What do those 2 things have in common???

Here's a hint:
Take me out to the ballgame, take me out to the crowd.....(la.la.la...)

OR

Hot Dogs, Armour hot dogs. Why do kids eat Armour hotdogs? Fat kids, skinny kids who eat a lot. Tall kids, short kids (Even kids with chicken pox) love hotdogs Armour hotdogs. The Dogs.. Kids.. Love... To... Biiiite!!

Yep, I'm going to enjoy 2 out of the 4 things that people say are all American. I will miss the apple pie (But why Chevrolet?) Fords were made first & Dodge is made better but they say Chevrolet...LOL

So tonight I'm gonna go watch the Mighty Angels, whoop on them Devil Rays...

Think of me while I'm out there in cramped seats, in the weather & dealing with crowds - while you're at home comfortably doing homework or something..LOL

Hey! One real quick thought. As some of you may know (Or remember), today is the National Day of Prayer. I'd love to know what YOU prayed for specifically. Or at least 1 thing you specifically prayed for.

Me, I mainly prayed for all those who are being confined & martyred in other countries. I then prayed that 100% of the students in our group get as much on fire as those standing for their faith in other parts of the world (With-out having to be martyred).

So, I just wanted to pick your brain a little bit (Which is better than me picking your nose a little bit).

Indoctrination VS. Education

Well, yes, it's been a while since I've updated my blog. Well not really, as I did update it as far as the look goes. Well actually, I didn't update the look, the new programs I used did. So that wasn't me. So in that case is this really me updating my blog now or is this a tool too ?

Things to ponder....


Anyway,
I wanted to comment on Keith's teaching last Sunday: I loved it. He spoke about indoctrination and not education (Or visa versa).

Basically, indoctrination would be if you (As students or peoples) believed what I do because I believed it & told you to believe it. Imagine if I forced all of you to become Raiders & SF Giants fans! (Ah what a more beautiful world this would be hmmmmm) Ok, so you get the point right?

It's NOT taking truth & fact and coming to a conclusion. It's being coerced or persuaded to think the way someone else thinks.

Education is taking the facts & truth, using your brain and coming to a logical conclusion that you could defend & understand. What I expect (I would say demand but that would be harsh & Mawee or Michael wouldn't like that. They like that I'm direct, but they always work on making me softer. I don't like soft. I'm not some fuzzy teddy bear or something. HA! Fuzzy bear, Fozzy Bear SIRAH!! She does this impersonation that is pretty funny). OK, so yes I would expect all of you to use your brains. Think for yourselves, take all the facts you can acquire, soak up as much truth as you can hold & come to your OWN decisions. Be educated, be smart, but most of all be decisive, not led along by the nose.

Yeah I know, I'm not sounding very soft right now am I?

C-Y'all tonight..................
