Thankful Thursday-March 24, 2010
Boy as I contemplate as to what i am thankful for today and really each and every day my head just swims with everything.
But as I sit back and think about me and what brought me to the place where I am today I realize it’s not WHAT but WHO!
I have gone through some major struggles in my life. I have been “disabled” since I was thirteen and yet I have been nothing but enable….through the loving blood of Christ.
It is not a crutch…..IT”S PEACE that passes any and all understanding….and no one can understand that until you have the saving knowledge of Christ.
Are you interested let me know?
Wordless wednesday-3/23/11- Triple Threat
Okay so This all needs a little explanation…..I have the most talented hubby in the whole wide world….He is an amazing wood worker, he can play both the violin and the trumpet VERY well And he is an amazing pastor!
SOOO would you like to see the three sets of Awana Grand Prix cars from the last three races?
Here they Are
Two Years ago tornado was the only kiddo in our house to go to Awana so he Picked Mater
Last Year it was Tornado and LadyBug So they picked Doc Hudson and Sally
And this year despite the fact Tornado is still in Awana he is now a Spark So Daddy can no longer make his cars SOOO his picture will come next week!!! This year Weasel joined the group and He picked Lightening and Lady Bug picked Tia (one of the twins)
So There ya Have it…Next year we will be down to one car that Hubby must make like this then it will Be a year off and then Little bean will more than likely continue the tradition!!!
Seriously? You’re kidding me Right?!?
As i sat checking my email this morning i saw a picture of a cute little polar bear staring at me in Yahoo’s news feed. I clicked on the link to read this cutie’s story!
Have you heard of Him his name is Knut…he was a four year old polar bear residing in the Berlin Zoo. Here is just one ofmany news links you can find concerning KNUT
I think Animals are great. i have been an animal lover my entire life. i remember my dirst trip to a zoo and all of them since them,
knut died this past weekend, and the outpouring over the death of this bear has my head swimming and not for the best reasons either.
i for the life of me cannot comprehend the emotion that the death of this four year old bear brings. the type of mourning that is being reported is that of someone who has lost a best friend, a spuse or a child. not an animal they viewed at a zoo. There was no persoanl connection with the animal, there was no daily contact with it as there is with a family pet.
One woman was quoted as saying ” she went to see the bear everyday and that the bear helped her through the mourning of her husband’s death”
How is this possible? i am not quite sure how i can see this as being useful!!! ITWASA POLAR BEAR IN A HABITAT!!!!! She didn’t get to pet him like a dog or cat. She didn’t get to cuddle with it as the elderly get to with rehabilitation animals and it didn’t save anyones life like a serive dog is trained to do!
As i looked at the pictures i asked myself a couple of Questions. i don’t the answers to them NOT by ANY means BUT it is something that needs to be asked!
1. Why has a bear taken the placde of god? I mean really that woman I mentioned found her solace in a bear…Yet the bear did’t doefor her sins and the bear Will NOT get her to heaven Yet her peace was the bear….Seriously Are you kidding me?
2. Since when is a bears life more important than a child’s either born or unborn? Do you know how many children are aborted in a day in Europe? and yet i hear no weeping for them. i see no national or international media about them…..and what about the children who have been born? those who are lft to starve to death because they have down’s Syndrome or some other serious illness ? WWwwhat about those children. Did you know that some European coutries deem these as NOT HUMAN. Wwell I have news for them…this bear was not human either. And for another thing UNBORN BABIES AND THOSE CHILDREN with disabilities ARE Humans and yet their ethics are so messed up that they choose to elevate and mourn the loss of a bear….Lets look at Germany’s abortion rate shall we!!
in 2009 the were 110,694,,,that is about 302 abortions a day
info found here
Oh and we Americans’, lets not think that we are “not as far gone ” as our couterparts over sees. It was only a short while ago that something similar happened at the Seneca park Zoo in rochester NY where an unborn ellefant calf died before it was born. And oh my the outpouring of grief which is just sickening…..
So what do you think the Abortion rate here in our country?
In 2008 there 1.21 MILLION abortions…that is roughly 19.6 abortions per 1,000 women (taken from fox News)
As i did the reseasrch for this i realized that the current year ending will not be released for another 2 years. Apparently it takes that long to figureall this out…..SOOO all this being saidI would like to point out one last thing…..THERE SHOULD NOT BE CARDS AND LETTERS AND FLOWERS given to a bear. they can’t read….they can’tunderstand. yes they feel pain but really…They have no soul… People do andi am so grateful that god saw fot to send His Son to die for my sins. because the animal thing didn’t work. read the Old Testament….Christ had to be the only sacrifice worthy of god’s acceptance!
