Friday’s Feast

Tell about a toy you remember from your childhood. I was just thinking about my Lady Lovely Locks doll. She was smaller than a barbie, with blonde hair and little critter hair clips that had colored tails of hair. Christmas when I was 5 I got the prince that went with her, and the Castle. That was the last Christmas with Nana, my dad’s mom. There was a cartoon about Lady Lovely Locks, but I can’t remember if I watched it, I just remember having books.

Soup
If you could make one thing in the world absolutely free for everyone, what would it be? I’m having trouble deciding between high speed internet and cell phones

Salad
Approximately how many times per day do you think about your significant other? hmm. well how many emails have we got between the two of us today so far? 26, so at least that many times.

Main Course
Name something you believe in 100%. the Resurrection. If the resurrection did not occur, our preaching is useless, and so is our faith.

Dessert
List 3 things you did this year that you would consider a “good deed.” hmm… good deeds… I don’t know, well I reccomended my best friend’s roommate to read Mere Christianity by C.S. Lewis. She’s a new Christian and her father isn’t a believer, and we were talking and I told her that she just had to read this book. The next time I saw her, she had read it, and was really excited to discuss it with me, and thankful for the reccomendation. I can’t think of anything else right now.

New Look

I haven’t blogged in so long. But I have decorated my blog for Christmas. I’ve had the Christmas layout ready since before Thanksgiving. I stayed with the corkboard style, because I still really like it, but I went for as if I was decorating the layout I already had. Changed the pushpins to red, different coloring and background, and a bit of scripture. That’s a bit of John 1:14, in case you were wondering. I love the first chapter of John, and I especially love to read those first 18 verses at Christmas. You’ve probably noticed that I also changed the music on my radio.blog to a careful selection of Christmas music. Those are some favorites, and I hope everyone enjoys them.

Happy Thanksgiving

This is the proclamation which set the precedent for America’s national day of Thanksgiving. On November 28, 1861, he ordered government departments closed for a local day of thanksgiving.

No human counsel hath devised nor hath any mortal hand worked out these great things. They are the gracious gifts of the Most High God, who, while dealing with us in anger for our sins, hath nevertheless remembered mercy. It has seemed to me fit and proper that they should be solemnly, reverently and gratefully acknowledged as with one heart and one voice by the whole American People.
I do therefore invite my fellow citizens in every part of the United States, and also those who are at sea and those who are sojourning in foreign lands, to set apart and observe the last Thursday of November next, as a day of Thanksgiving and Praise to our beneficent Father who dwelleth in the Heavens. And I recommend to them that while offering up the ascriptions justly due to Him for such singular deliverances and blessings, they do also, with humble penitence for our national perverseness and disobedience, commend to His tender care all those who have become widows, orphans, mourners or sufferers in the lamentable civil strife in which we are unavoidably engaged, and fervently implore the interposition of the Almighty Hand to heal the wounds of the nation and to restore it as soon as may be consistent with the Divine purposes to the full enjoyment of peace, harmony, tranquillity and Union.

Redefining Laziness

Apparently, some people are doing that very thing, in which the dictionary will someday read like this.

Lazy – Working 100 hours a week and on holidays, including Easter, the most important holiday of the year, the celebration of the most important historical event in human history.

Coming to a Point

November 3, 2004 Shannon KayLeave a comment

“Have you ever noticed,” said Dimble, “that the universe, and every bit of the universe is always hardening and narrowing and coming to a point?”
His wife waited as those wait who know by long experience the mental processes of the person who is talking to them.
“I mean this,” said Dimble in answer to the question she had not asked. “If you dip into any college, or school, or parish, or family – anything you like – at a given point in its history, you always find that there was a time before that point when there was more elbow room and contrasts weren’t quite so sharp; and that there’s going to be a time after that point when there is even less room for indecision and choices are even more momentous. Good is always getting better and bad is always getting worse: the possibilities of even apparent neutrality are always diminishing. The whole thing is sorting itself out all the time, coming to a point, getting sharper and harder.”

That Hideous Strength by C.S. Lewis

The Way to His Own Country

“Oh, Aslan,” said Lucy. “Will you tell us how to get into your country from our world?”
“I shall be telling you all the time,” said Aslan. “But I will not tell you how long or short the way will be; only that it lies across a river. But do not fear that, for I am the great Bridge Builder.”

The Voyage of the Dawn Treader by C.S. Lewis
