We are pondering emotions. For instance, the emotional submission you must give in to when you realize you need Jesus. You know, I thought it was a once-and-done thing, like, that day I sucked up my pride and let the sobbing break out of my usual brick-like exterior. The day I admitted to being so messed up that Jesus and only Jesus was going to make something of me. I thought that was it.
I have learned in these past 4 years or so, that oh no. It is a continuing mission, this breakin' me down business. What is it the Bible calls it? Refining in fire. That's it.
So, I like to think about the woman in the Bible who is known as "the sinful woman"- and this is her story. Basically, she and her "sin," whatever that may be, are well known by the locals. It ain't no secret that this lady is trash, I guess. In spite of all this, she searches out Jesus, and finds him having dinner in an up-and-up's house. Inside this house along with Jesus are some bigshots, some religious leaders, some political leaders, and then not to mention the fellas that Jesus has chosen as his personal squad. This woman still goes to this house, walks inside, kneels at Jesus' feet, and unbeknownst to him at first, she starts to wash his feet with expensive perfume, mixed with her tears, and then uses her hair to dry them. As icky as that sounds, if you put it in the context of the times, what a gesture, right? She comes in this house, pretty much like walking into a hornets nest, because she is well aware of her own reputation. She deals with the whispers she is hearing, the snickering, the scoffing- she goes and she breaks herself down in front of Jesus. Crying, focused only on Him and who He is, and what He represents. She lays it all down.
In this country today, we are lacking in sincere emotion. Unless it is a movie that is making you cry, we rarely cry-alone, perhaps we cry alone, but even amongst friends, most people are shut up tight. I know I am. My husband and my mom see my tears, but a few other people that I respect and love and need approval from? Heck no, I can't cry in front of them. I wonder if I would be able to do what the woman did, walk in amongst all those people that I know would be judging me, and break down like that. I really don't think so. But do I need to? Can I hold on to this stone-like exterior in front of these people, yet still be chisled out for Jesus? I'm not sure that can work. God's strength is made perfect in our weakness. So, how do I allow my weakness out for God to make into something huge and glorifying for His purposes...when I can't allow myself to break in front of ordinary people?
This is the struggle of the moment folks, to walk out in front of many people and just be an instrument of God, of His word. To not get in the way. To allow my faults to be part of who I am, part of the refining process that Jesus has started within me...I really need some kind of definite answer, but I know God isn't going to give me one until I step out in faith. Do what I need to do, yet let God control the doing. Ah, how complex it all is! It was so easy for Mary. All she had to do was have a baby. "I am the Lord's Servant, let it be to me as you have said," she says. Well, I am the Lord's Servant, and sure, let it be to me as you have said, but what are we letting be to me??? Can I get in on the plan so I can prepare myself? Luck favors the prepared, however, God favors the faithful and trusting, I suppose. Well, let's see what happens, for I know these things to be truth: "In all things, the Lord works for the good of those who love Him." and "I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." So, built on that rock, we mosey on down the road...

Sarah Palin
I'm sorry, who? Sarah who? Governor of what state? Seriously? Alaska? Oh, I see. That state we nicknamed Oil-land. Or Land of Lotsa-Oil. I see where you are goin' with this, McCain. Get her on your ticket, and then we can get her to call her friends in Alaska, and we can get started on digging for all that oil. Yeah. I see.
But seriously. A VP candidate just for oil? I don't get it. And I'm being silly, in case you haven't noticed. I don't care who John McCain picks for VP. He could have chosen like, his hand with a face drawn on it, called him Mr. Stinky-fingers, and it would be about the same as choosing this Sarah chick.
I'm sad to say it, but not really, B-Rock has got this thing locked, I think. People are so easily suckered in by this guy, he must be related to Hypno-toad or something, because he's so CHARISMATIC! (Imagine me saying that while wildly flailing my hands about the sides of my face, and you will get the jist of my sarcasm.) John McCain puts me to sleep and makes me yearn for a Steven Segal movie to watch. B-Rock makes my jaw numb from clenching my lips together in puzzled disgust. A Change we can Believe in? What change is it exactly? Please be specific when you are talking about change. Because some changes require a bit of thinking and planning. A sex change, for instance. That's a change I don't really believe in. For myself, that is. So, no thank you in that area. Now, a change in foreign policy?? That would be SUPER! Get us the HELL out of all those other countries. Now that's a change!! Is B-Rock on that one? Oh, no, no, wait. That's not B-rock. That's RON PAUL!! And how about economic policy?? Is he going to get rid of all these sucky and unconstitutional taxes that are destroying the middle class and ruining small business? Is he going to change our monetary policy, take power away from the Federal Reserve Company that owns this country, and help our dollar get it's value back?? Is that the change he is talking about??? Oh, no, it's not? That's not the positive change we can believe in that B-rock is foaming at the mouth about? That's RON PAUL's change?? Hmmm. That's interesting.
So, in reality, B-rock is talking about non-specific change that will amount to a heap of nothin', McCain isn't even trying to talk about any sort of change but is going to tow the Bush line straight into our demise, and well, Ron Paul is being heartily ignored by the media because if word got out, and it was understood by the masses, well, then we'd have our first president who can also deliver babies. That's multi-tasking. Just what this country needs.
We need a president who is going to really, actually make some change- BIG change. Not small change that really isn't change in any sort of sense, as in, you aren't going to feel it in your life, but you'll see it in the news and nod your head like, yeah, that's nice. NO.
1. We need to stop spending money in Iraq, and get the flippity flip out of there, NOW.
2. We need to find Osama Bin Laden and kill him, NOW.
3. We need to close our borders and make sure people are not getting in here illegally, NOW.
4. We need to balance this country's budget and take steps to correct our deficit, NOW.
5. We need to stop taxing people to death and take steps to get rid of income tax altogether, eventually.
6. We need to get rid of any amendments that overstep the jurisdiction of the states, like, um, Roe v. Wade.
7. We need to get rid of stupid big-government junk that doesn't do anything but spend money, we need to get people to take care of themselves at least a little bit, and not depend on government for every little thing, like uh, health care. You really want the idiots in Washington taking care of your medical needs?? Seriously? Give them a little bit of power, and they take it all. Haven't we learned this yet??? Hello, remember how Bush went to war with Iraq without getting Congress's approval? See how they just do what they want?? ALL of them, not just this GWB idiot. Or, no, they "do what they feel is right" and then we call them a maverick instead of a power hungry jerk doing whatever is best for his interests and the interests of his cronies. AAAAh! Let's listen to Thomas Jefferson! Let's scrap all the politicians we have now, and get all new ones!! Politics should not be a career. It should be a voluntary time of service to your country in which you are paid a modest, and when I say modest, I mean like, 30k a year, income. See how many jerks sign up to be a senator then. Bah! I hate them all!!!
Alright, now that I've got that out, I'll be ok. Until I accidentally turn on the tv to a news station and have to listen to their dumbness again. That's right. Dumbness. I'm going to sleep. Wake me up when the next moron is being sworn in to office.
They are both morons, people!! How can you NOT see this?? Are we all so wrapped up in our differences that we actually can't see we are being played?? Come ON! Liberal, Conservative- you know what, McCain and B-Rock are neither of those things. They are Libservatives, or Coniberals, if you will. They will not do anything to restore this country to our former glory. They will merely postpone our ultimate demise. Either of them. Larry or Curly. You choose, and it won't really make a difference, even though it seems like it is the difference between night and day. You have got the wool pulled tightly over your eyes, my friends. The next president is going to be a pud, and I can say this in all certainty, because regardless of who wins the election- they are both puds. The exact same level of pudness.
Oh I can't wait til this is over, seriously. No more passionate people rising up to support some idiot that doesn't deserve even the slightest bit of praise. What a waste of energy it all is. Not to mention money. Millions of dollars that could be used to say, fight poverty in this country, and it's used to put bumper stickers on people's cars, run the same frickin' commercial every 5 minutes, blow confetti out into a crowd...wow. Let's go read up on the fall of the Roman empire, and then be creeped out by what is happening in our country and how greatly it mirrors those last few decades of Rome. oooh, that sounds like fun.

Back in my big girl pants.
So, it has been a rough few months, what with two growing and busy boys running wild through my house, and putting said house on the market, having to keep it rather spotless at all times in case somebody wants to see the house...yeah. Takin' deep breaths. Waitin' on God.
But let's get right back to some good stuff. Politics? Honestly, I am so bored, so apathetic at this point that...seriously. Who cares. John McCain or B-rock Oblahma. Dumb and Dumber. They are like...well, I don't know what they are like, but whatever it is, it's boring, it's the same old same old junk, lies, BS, and political rhetoric that there has always been. Honestly. How can people seriously gravitate to either of these schmoes? The majority of Americans with any sort of brain power should be standing up and raising a fist like, "These are my choices??? Are you frickin' kidding me???" I refuse to vote for either of those idiots. And they are idiots. Both of them. Equally. I just make fun of Obama more because, well, his name is funny. And I am prejudiced of funny names.
What else we got here...well, gas is still expensive. I have a photo of a friend of mine pumping gas the summer I graduated from high school. You can see the total cost on the gas pump. 11 bucks. That's right. 10 years ago, gas was 99 cents a gallon. I'm not going to be a moron and be like, oooh, see, Clinton was president then, so we should thank him for such inexpensive gas. No. No, bad liberals! Clinton is not God! He is not even King of anything, nor Emperor of anything. Therefore, gas prices had nothing to do with him. So shut up right now. Just shut up about Clinton. Stop trying to lick his shoes. It will not heal your psoriasis. Just stop. And Hillary's nail clippings do not heal fungal infections or gout. Just stop it now. That's enough. Time to be normal people again. No more worshipping ugly Democrats.
Now I've gone and lost my train of thought. Not that I started out with an actual train of thoughts. But whatever it was, that which was causing me to type with fervor, well, it's gone. Oh, now I remember what it was. My general distaste and overall disdain for this election and the people that think it actually matters. Silly people. It's such a lovely show. Fun to wave our banners and cheer for some smiling idiot, but in the end, sigh. They've already chosen the next schmuck to "lead" this country. Pulling the strings and moving the puppets around. I'll just watch and roll my eyes a little bit.

So simple, so complicated.
I am apparently very easily drawn in to arguments with atheists. Probably for two reasons: First, I like to be right. And, since Atheists are very unfortunately wrong, I need to tell them what is right. Because I know I'm right, and because, well, I don't wish hell on anyone. Yeah. Hell is super bad. I hate Satan and all his evil so much, that I hope even the most horrible person will come to know Christ and we can all be like, HA! Satan, you suck! God can even redeem this horrible scum bag child rapist! That's power, dude. And the other reason I am drawn in to arguments? I think maybe, perhaps, just perhaps, God has given me an ability, a spiritual gift, I'm not sure which one it would be, discernment or another...anyway, he has given me an ability to speak to people without the tiniest shred of belief in God, and somehow get them to question that. Or maybe I'm just thinkin' a wee bit too highly of myself. Which happens.
It is very hard to argue with atheists without getting angry, and also without some kind of evidence or thought that will actually make them give a darn. Usually, atheists have heard the normal Christian rhetoric, and it's downright boring by that point. They need a new thought or idea that will actually take them a second or two to think up a plausible reply. And, I admit, likewise from me, a Christian. I want to hear some new stuff from atheists, too. Let's get really deep. Let's drag out some serious stuff. And I will do that soon, but right now I have an 8 month old little boy that is crawling at warp speed for the steps with a Nightcrawler action figure hanging out of his mouth...yeah, thats my life! Rocks, don't it? ...

More political mumbo jumbo
So, the sad day has arrived. Dr. Ron Paul has finally ceded to the mainstream media and political elite. He won't be president this time around. Now, don't get me wrong, I'm still gonna vote for him. We're callin' it the Write in Ron campaign. I just can't vote for anyone else. It would be wrong.
John McCain is so unbelievably boring he...zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz...what? Oh, sorry. What was I talking about? Oh yeah. McCain. Him in the White House is basically Bush in the White House. And we all know what Bush is like. Buhhhhhhhhhh!
And then there's Obama. Everybody is so excited about this guy. He's always talking about Change we can believe in. But he's never specific. Are we talking change like, back to the good old days of American prosperity, the likes of which we really would only see if Ron Paul were elected? Or are we talkin' bout change like when Hitler and his Socialist buddies took over Germany? Bottom line, I don't want my freakin' taxes raised!!! And that is what we'll all get with Obama. REGARDLESS of what he says. I don't believe a word out of any politician's mouth. How can I believe in Ron Paul then, you ask? Because he's an obgyn! A doctor! A doctor that delivers BABIES!! And I sure do love babies. So, yeah. Ron Paul. Not a career politician. That makes him a bazilliontrillionmilliongazillion times better than any of the other schmucks that have put their hat into the prez race.
So, the options 'they' have given us this go 'round are in general, very scary. McCain is about as exciting as having George Bush for another 4 years. Obama is just, well, come on. He's a single term senator, and now he wants to be president? That alone makes me fear him. Truthfully, the other reason I am rather apathetic is because, well, I've reached the point where I believe that all these guys are working for the same thing. It's all an illusion, this democrat/republican thing, but it keeps us occupied, so they can go about their real business of screwin' us big time. Seriously, if you don't see our government and all the men in it as one big club working toward a one-world-government, well, you'll be surprised I guess, by the coming events. I won't be. I predict our next president will be Obama, and our economy will tank, and he'll bring out the military state. Bring it on. God is with us. And by us, I mean not politicians.

conspiracy nutballs
I admit, one of my guilty pleasures is watching the crazy/silly conspiracy videos on youtube. Ever see any of it? The world is going to end in 2012 according to the Mayan calendar, the nephilim, aka, the children of the fallen angels and first women of earth, will be returning to our planet from some other planet that they were on, let's see, what else...oh yeah, the poles are going to shift, there are secret reptile people that like to eat humans, and they can shape-shift into humans and live among us, and George W. Bush is one of these said reptile people, or he is a devil-worshipper, and he is related to the British monarchy and all the other world elite.
Yeah, see how fun this all is? Now, some of it really freaks me out, and I have to remember that God is in control of all things. I repeat Isaiah 40:10 Do not be afraid, for I am with you. Do not despair, for I am your God. Yeah. So, while I don't believe most of the junkola that I watch, I do think there is a grain of truth in some of it. What that grain is, heck, I dunno. I'm not too naive, however, to NOT believe that the actual devil is working in this world in some hideous, disgustingly scary and abhorrent ways. This world is Whacked Out. Period. So I am prepared for anything, ya'll. I actually look forward to this nation on breakdown- no more electricity or computers or anything (come on, it wouldn't be that bad- think of the positives- would you give up your cell phone, wii, whatever else, if it meant all your credit card debt - heck, ALL your debt was wiped out? No more records of it?? Yeah baby!!! )
So, there we go. I'm not a crazy conspiracy person, but I do enjoy hearing about them, kind of like a person that strains their neck to see the carnage from a highway accident. I guess.

Am I hearing you, Lord??
It's always been said that the Lord speaks softly, so you really have to listen. Well, unfortunately, I am the type of person that has a very active mind. If there was a type of hyperactivity disorder that affected just your brain, like, just your thoughts and the speed at which you think them, well, that's me. Maybe there is an actual disorder like that. I don't know. I do know that my thoughts run through my head faster than Barry Allen. I can hardly keep up.
That said, I have a problem. When I pray and ask for an answer, or direction, or guidance- my head is so full of...everything that I can't discern what is God and what is me. It is highly frustrating, particularly because I don't want to do anything that might hinder God's plan. Just writing that sentence is funny to me, because, of course, little old me ain't gonna do nothin' to hinder God's plans, He's got is all covered, for sure. It's just, I DO want to be part of it, I do want to do my part! I want to be in His will! I just have to figure out where I supposed to be.
So, yeah. Lets figure that out.
That said, I have a problem. When I pray and ask for an answer, or direction, or guidance- my head is so full of...everything that I can't discern what is God and what is me. It is highly frustrating, particularly because I don't want to do anything that might hinder God's plan. Just writing that sentence is funny to me, because, of course, little old me ain't gonna do nothin' to hinder God's plans, He's got is all covered, for sure.
