Acts 2:38

A woman had just returned to her home from an evening of church services , when she was startled by an intruder. She caught the man in the act of robbing her home of its valuables and yelled:
'Stop! Acts 2:38!' (Repent and be Baptized, in the name of Jesus Christ, so that your sins may be forgiven.)
The burglar stopped in his tracks. The woman calmly called the police and explained what she had done. As the officer cuffed the man to take him in, he asked the burglar: 'Why did you just stand there? All the old lady did was yell a scripture to you.'
'Scripture?' replied the burglar. 'She said she had an Axe and Two 38s! I don't want no trouble'

I Was Babysitting Tonight...

...and I played on a Wii.

(Or is it played a Wii? Played a video game on a Wii? Just plain played Wii?Anyway...)

I didn't win.

Actually I was beaten pretty badly.(Insert "slaughtered")

By a 7 year old.

"Life is Best Served With Chocolate"

Right now I am wearing Chocolate Perfume.
I'm dead serious, it smells like chocolate.
If you're worried about my sanity,
I didn't spend any money on it.
Rebecca got a sample of it,
she said I "Was the only
person I know who
is crazy enough
to wear it."
;-)








Chocolate perfume?

You Know...

"The Most Wonderful Time of the Year..."

No, I'm not talking about Christmas, or Easter, or even Summer time. I'm talking about...

Play Time!

Every spring the high school kids in our homeschool group put on a play. I'm graduating this spring, so this play will be my last.

The play this year is You Can't Take it With You. It's based on a 1938 Jimmy Stewart movie.


Joe won't let me tell you about his characters, so see his blog for details. (Hint: my friend Heather gets to spit in my brother's face, too fun!!)

I'm playing Mrs. Kirby (the "mother" from the video)I get to faint twice and scream, two things I've always wanted to do on stage :-O Mrs. Kirby is kind of the villain of the play, stuck and snobby.

Can't you all imagine me perfectly in that part??? :-) :-)

Just so you're warned, my life will be full of play stuff for the next two and a half months. So get used to it!!

Wordy Wednesday English Assignment About a Social Evil

Evil, it’s a hard word to pin down. The dictionary defines it as “profoundly immoral or wrong.” But what is immortality? Many would say it is what is right or wrong. But what is right and wrong? 200 years ago this would have been an easy question to answer. Then white and wrong was black and white. Even in underdeveloped countries and lands wrong always followed that same similar guidelines or laws. These laws can be boiled down to two basic principles (1) Do all you have agreed to do. (2) Do not encroach on other persons or their property. This sounds simple, no? The 2 laws cover about everything, and you could say that anyone who breaks these laws would be doing evil.

In modern day United States Of America, the 2^nd law is broke many times each day. No, I’m not talking about, acts of violence by criminals, I’m talking about murder. Murder, you must agree with me is encroaching on another person. But I’m not talking about the kind of murder that a person can get tried for. I’m talking about legal murder, our justice system accepts it, even protects this type of cold-blooded murder. There are professionals in this area of murder, and they are proud to tell you what they do for a living. Every day they kill humans, real, thinking, and functioning people, with fingers, toes, and feelings.

These professional killers?

Abortion doctors.

This evil?

The killing of 100,000 of innocent children.

The unbelievable part is, they find no evil in it. They find not wrong in doing what a child from most primitive nation on earth could tell you is wrong. But some how, in today “advanced culture” it’s suddenly right. Black and white are mixed, and all you have is a muddled gray, where no one remembers that there was a black and a white. Morality becomes something derived from personnel preference. In this thought I am the final authority on everything, there is no higher law or law at all. The 2 basic laws are ignored. When it is legal to take life from a tiny precious child, for selfish reasons and it is legal, law no longer is a “divine”, there is no accountability, there is no right, wrong, or even a point to life. Life is cheap in a society where it is casually extinguished. Life, which is the center of everyone’s beings, yours mine, everyone’s, how can it be “right” to hold your own life in such high esteem as to assume there is no one higher, but at the same time, put down another’s life, just because they are weaker than you. This is truly evil.
