Society & Culture - 26 November 2007

I wrote this poem today......these are my thoughts. What are yours? Is it a time of Joy and wonder to you or Chaos? I always thought it brings out the best in people. I think that's why God put his grace on it even though it has "pagan"roots mixed in.

all those Joys and all that wonder

All those happy happy days

Looking at lights

getting belts tight

trying to save up for Christmas time



Anticipation

Deliberation

Prayers about getting right gifts

Working extra

staying up late

all well worth it

cause it will be great

That's Christmas time, Christmas time

so I wrote this rhyme

With that in mind

When I was just thinking 'bout Christmas time



I wonder what's the magic

is it all about the kids?

their happy smiling faces so excited in your midst?

Or is it just the special time with family and friends?

Or is it just the Joy at Christmas that never seems to end?

What is it about Christmas

I ask myself tonight

That filled me up with Joy

and so much sweet delight?



I think it was anticipation

to see my loved ones be

so special in their thoughtfulness in having love towards me!

I think about the times and all the Christmas's of suprises

I think about the fudge and how my Joy just always rises

When I"d think about my family opening presents just from me

That they would be so happy to find it "be their cup of tea"

To know that I had made them smile

to know that they were Jolly

surrounded by the Christmas sounds of Laughter, gifts and Holly

I think it's all the wonder

that goes back to when we were young

and think the sky's the limit and no wishes are too dumb

I think it's just the suprises

the fun

and all the laughter

the pretty wrapping paper

the lights

the sparkle

the snow

What's so special about Christmas?

I don't know

I just don't know

but please God don't let it be destroyed

(I know this poem is really silly I stopped rhyming!)

Christmas

snowflakes on your nose

new socks on your toes

gasping at the beauty

stockings filled with fruities

There is nothing like it

Christmas

I've never had religion my whole life. I do think that there is some thing out there, yet I am naive. I went to a few churches with some family members in the past, and got this very odd feeling. It was almost as if I had no control, everything was so powerful in the churches. It sort of scared me, and I have always been leery of going to churches. Not to say I don't call out for God sometimes, or think of him, I am just undecided. I know some people say it is a sin to doubt the existence of God, and I don't, but I just have that feeling of wonder. I know someones out there but I am afraid that maybe I do go head on into some sort of belief, that in the end it hurts me. Please give me an understanding on why you believe what you do, or why you don't. Or perhaps some reasons why I am a bit stubborn on not letting my feelings aside, and giving forth.

I hear and read it all the time: evolution is just a theory. Electricity is just a theory, too, but I can tell you, even Jesus isn't going to keep you from being thrown across the room if you stick a wet finger in a light socket.
The earth is 4 1/2 billion years old. What's wrong with that? If it's 4 1/2 billion years old it's 4 1/2 billion years old. No big deal.
The same with the universe being 14 billion years old.
What's wrong with the big bang theory? If that's how this particular version of the universe began, that's how it began. String theory projects that the big bang is not a unique event, either.

Not one of these things says, "And therefore Jesus isn't the son of god" or anything like that. You want intelligent design? Why all of these things are way more intelligent than god blowing and poof! there's the universe. Dang. What is so frightening about science? Why are those goofy religions from the desert so unable to adjust to new information. Are they THAT weak?

God (supposing he exists) obviously exhibits a great complexity of emotion. Why is Satan thought to exhibit only hate? Maybe he has a compassionate side?

I was with a friend this evening. We (she and I) are on a business trip. She has brought her boyfriend along, which is fine. Except that she is married. Earlier today, I had called her to ask her to stop at an office for some paperwork. Apparently, because she had to run that errand, it made it easier for her to sneak out of the house and get her boyfriend. My problem is with what happened next. She said "Praise Jesus that you called me and made that happen". Seriously. Then she said that the phone call was God's intervention in her life showing her that the affair was OK.

I'm afraid I don't understand... Do you? Or is this why I can't seem to grasp Christianity?

Personally I like to spend a little more money and send a classy cute card then a cheap looking one.
Of course I look for sales.
I do this cause I like receiving them.
I also like to put glitter in my cards, ( just a little)
