Because the sun doesn't come out at the beach until noon anyway...

A little boys explanation of God

I certainly don't think an adult could explain this more beautifully!

It was written by an 8-year-old named Danny Dutton, who lives in Chula Vista, CA. He wrote it for his third grade homework assignment, to "explain God." I wonder if any of us could have done as well ?
... and he had such an assignment, in California, and someone published it, I guess miracles do happen ! ..

EXPLANATION OF GOD:
"One of God's main jobs is making people. He makes them to replace the ones that die, so there will be enough people to take care of things on earth. He doesn't make grownups, just babies. I think because they are smaller and easier to make. That way he doesn't have to take up his valuable time teaching them to talk and walk. He can just leave that to mothers and fathers."

"God's second most important job is listening to prayers. An awful lot of this goes on, since some people, like preachers and things, pray at times beside bedtime. God doesn't have time to listen to the radio or TV because of this. Because he hears everything, there must be a terrible lot of noise in his ears, unless he has thought of a way to turn it off."

"God sees everything and hears everything and is everywhere which keeps Him pretty busy. So you shouldn't go wasting his time by going over your mom and dad's head asking for something they said you couldn't have."

"Atheists are people who don't believe in God. I don't think there are any in Chula Vista. At least there aren't any who come to our church."

"Jesus is God's Son. He used to do all the hard work, like walking on water and performing miracles and trying to teach the people who didn't want to learn about God. They finally got tired of him preaching to them and they crucified him But he was good and kind, like his father, and he told his father that they didn't know what they were doing and to forgive them and God said O.K."

"His dad (God) appreciated everything that he had done and all his hard work on earth so he told him he didn't have to go out on the road anymore. He could stay in heaven. So he did. And now he helps his dad out by listening to prayers and seeing things which are important for God to take care of and which ones he can take care of himself without having to bother God. Like a secretary, only more important."

"You can pray anytime you want and they are sure to help you because they got it worked out so one of them is on duty all the time."

"You should always go to church on Sunday because it makes God happy, and if there's anybody you want to make happy, it's God!

"Don't skip church to do something you think will be more fun like going to the beach. This is wrong. And besides the sun doesn't come out at the beach until noon anyway."

"If you don't believe in God, besides being an atheist, you will be very lonely, because your parents can't go everywhere with you, like to camp, but God can. It is good to know He's around you when you're scared, in the dark or when you can't swim and you get thrown into real deep water by big kids."

"But...you shouldn't just always think of what God can do for you. I figure God put me here and he can take me back anytime he pleases.

Aaaargh

Is it wrong that I love Johnny Depp even more as a dirty pirate?

Nah.

You may not be able to catch a bat with a pot, but one thing is for sure - I love bags

Look at it... I love it. I have been visiting it online for awhile now and I even have a 20% off discount. Exciting I know. The bad thing is that they are backordered. (sigh) And even if I ordered it now, I wouldn't get it until middle to late September. (I just killed the most massive bug as I am sitting here by the way. Don't ask me what kind it was because I really don't know. Kinda like a spider and a grasshopper and something else mixed. Very nasty, Very big. And now just to add to that, I feel like things are crawling on me all the time now. I hate that. Plus, everytime I kill a spider or anything - which is pretty regular around here - I get a flashback to that time which we will not speak of. You know the time at the daycare. Ew. I get chills thinking about it. But anyway, I am getting off track.)
Back to my bag. I love it. Period. Love the color. Love the shape. Love.
Also, I added some new links to check out ------->
Domino is one of my favorite magazines of all time. It has great decorating ideas and is totally my style. And we all know that I love to decorate. If I could do school over - I would do that. Without a question. Interior design. I actually thought about transferring to the Art Institute of Washington in Arlington - yep contacted an admissions counselor and everything. Until I learned how expensive art school is. Then I had to begrudgingly bow out. For now anyway. But if i could do it over - that's what I would've done. Well that is all for tonight. Goodnight party people.


Oh and bats are attracted to light?

Well Chris Farley thinks so anyway. I think I'll watch Black Sheep for a little comic therapy since retail therapy is out of the question. Nighty Night.

Superman

Moths flicker under the golden glow of the street
lamps.
Why does it take so much longer to get back home?
There's no reason for me to glance back with innocent
smiles.
No sarcastic remarks about me hanging my head out
the car window -
Hair glossed to my lips.
Listening to the songs that you should be singing
with me.
Sole lyrics. Bouncing through my head.
Vaguely conscious of the buzzing traffic that
surrounds me.
Party night -
Nearly seduced,
Skipping the cracks and counting the little yellow
lines in the street.

If the world falls from beneath me, will you be here to
save me?
If only I could understand those long silent pauses
when you aren't singing
along.
I think the world may be falling now...

Tumultuous Tuesday

"Time heals nothing. It's what you do with the time that matters."

Great Quote.
Oh and check out my new music player... that is all for now. Maybe more later.

Comic Relief

I love Graham Norton.

New Apartment, New Life

Well I'm almost all settled in here - in my new place. Pretty much all unpacked minus a few minor details. It feels very good to finally have a roommate whom I enjoy spending time with. There is only one tiny little flaw. SPIDERS. We have spider bites all over us and I think we kill a little over a dozen each day. Gross I know. The pest control guy already came so hopefully soon they will start to die. I'm praying that this is the whole "it gets worse before it gets better" kind of deal. I guess we shall see in time.
On the other hand. I need to be thinking about where I want to work because frankly we already received a cable bill. We haven't even had cable for a week and they're already sending a bill. Leave it to Cox. I not only need a job for the money but also for a llittle entertainment. I'm getting tired of being in the apartment all the time already. Plus, it gets a little lonely since my roommate works full time and I have nothing to do. Sad yes. Pathetic yes. So the job hunting journey will commence Monday.

QUOTE OF THE DAY:
"Maybe our mistakes are what make our fate. Without them, what would shape our lives? Perhaps if we never veered off course, we wouldn't fall in love, or have babies, or be who we are. After all, seasons change. So do cities. People come into your life and people go. But it's comforting to know the ones you love are always in your heart. And if you're very lucky, a plane ride away."
