Read 2 entries of my 1Yr Bible this morning. Spent 6+ hours out of the house so I could tag along and sell some CDs to CD Warehouse in Marietta, which my mom determiend is not very far at all out of the way of where she comes from to see the doctor. I got $10 out of it. I'm hoping my sister can deposit that or maybe my mom can transfer it to my account. They're both sleeping or trying to. I don't hear my mom stirring about. My sister usually sleeps pretty easily, although she sometimes is awake during the midst of the night.
I think I pretty much skipped dinner. If I didn't, I don't remember what I ate. In total, I think I've had about 1700 calories. Yesterday I did pretty well...mostly; until about 9pm when I ate like 10 slices of deli-style sliced cheese (generic, not Sergento(sp?)) I still did better then than I did the day before, having consumed a total of apprx 2500, vs 4000. the 4k day I walked about 25 mins. Not enough, but close. The 2.5k day I walked about 10 minutes. Not nearly enough for a person who DIDN'T overeat the day before. It was worth something, but I might've broken any strain of helpfulness in it by not walking about today. I need to remember to take my mom's dogs for a walk this day that's about to start in 19 minutes (Friiiiiiiiiday!). Can't walk them IN 19 minutes. First of all, they're penned up in my mom's room, and they'd freak out if I opened the door and might even wake my sister and/or her husband up. They'd definitely annoy the heck out of my mom, who is easily annoyed as it is. Then I'd have to convince them to get off their stomachs or whatever angle they happen to be positioned @, and come with me for a walk. That'll all be a lot easier to do when my mom is gone upstairs babysitting my nephew, and it'll give them something to do to take their minds off my mom's absence from their lives. Also, I should be in bed myself. I'm not sure if I'm tired enough to get straight to sleep. I'll find out shortly I reckon.

CD-R and Amazon Music Library playlist
Just got some CDs that I decided aren't all that but have some addictive elements consolidated.
1 Debut / Godspeed - Anberlin from CITIES
2 Walk On Water Or Drown - Mayday Parade from A LESSON IN ROMANTICS
3 Take This To Heart - Mayday Parade ditto
4 Champagne's For Celebrating (I'll Have A Martini) - Mayday Parade
ditto
5 Letters To You - Finch from WHAT IT IS TO BURN
6 Post Script - Finch
7 Stay With Me - Finch
8 What It Is To Burn - Finch
9 Mama - Genesis *
10Hold On My Heart - Genesis *
11Pictures Of You - The Cure from SHOW
12Just Like Heaven - The Cure
13A Night Like This - The Cure
14Doin' The Unstuck - The Cure
15Friday I'm In Love - The Cure
16 Love Steals Us From Loneliness - Idlewild from WARNINGS/PROMISES
17 As If I Hadn't Slept - Idlewild
18 Let Me Sleep (Next To The Mirror) - Idlewild from 100 BROKEN WINDOWS
19 Roseability - Idlewild
9 & 10 I inserted because I was considering conslidating Genesis' self titled album anyway, although I realized that wouldn't really work with any of these other pieces, especially in the context of a coomprehensible playlist. Also, the transition from Finch to The Cure would have seemed a little sudden and off...or at least that's how I imagined it. I didn't actually test it out. The Cure is a very different sort of alternative than Finch is. Of course, when I say "Finch" I'm referring to the only good album they put out, which is WHAT IT IS TO BURN and then when I say "The Cure", I'm referring to the stuff they put out from 1980-1989 and pieces of the album WISH from 1992. I've just about lost interest in them entirely. The last 4 songs from SHOW are flat out annoying. I'm not a fan of any of The Cure's albums, tho, so it's not like it really matters to me if they continue putting out albums that my mind fails to recognize as "classic". The guys are old now. I can't begrude them for not wanting to give up tinkering with sound waves and getting paid to do so. I'm just surprised people actually are willing to pay them to make the kind of stale music they specialize in, along with all these other punks from the '70's and '80's who branched out and didn't fall off their tree and into frozen water.
Anyway.
Also kinda came up with an interesting playlist on Amazon.
It was kind of a directionless playlist I titled "Froth". I guess I started on it and lost interest in it.
I retitled it FROTH FOAM AND BUZZ. I expanded the range in which it spans to reflect the attitude I've realized in regard to music that I typically listen to--- which is that music, with a few exceptions, is a toy of sorts. It's like a jack in the box, I guess. You hear it, you get it, then you hear it again and it still manages to surprise you. "New music" is basically like a different jack in the box. The box might even be shaped differently, it may not be a clown that pops out, but the concept is still the same. There are only so many music notes. There are only so many sounds that can be composed. There are an almost limitless number of combinations thereof.
Alrighty. I guess I've said all I came to say.....not sure why I'm here. It seems like I was going to say something else. I have no idea what it was. damn, these headphones hurt.

read...reading...
I skimmed through four chapters of 1 CHRONICLES Sunday morning from my DAILY LIFE PRINCIPLES One Year Bible annotated by Charles F. Stanley, catching up on 3 entries. I was relaying this to my mom and her response was basically that I'm not worth talking to if I don't care about God enough to carefully read every word written in The Bible. I don't know if I ever really "forgive" anybody. Is the U.S. government guilty of unforgiving-ness for locking murderers up in prison or insane asylums? Is it a bad thing to protect yourself from negative situations and/or people or take steps to remedy a situation so that it doesn't repeat itself? Every time I try to do any of that, I feel like I'm being accused of the one thing that Jesus said will barr me from forgiveness of my sins. My mom was telling me something along the lines of I'm crazy and instead f owning up to that I accuse other people of wrongs. I have no idea what the heck she's talking about. If I asked, she'd get overwhelmed and just quit talking. I asked her what I should do with my laundry that had been piling up in my room for at least a week, and she accused me of making a snide remark. She told me I should have offered my help with putting her laundry away (or something to that effect), and then went to her room and did it herself, closing the door behind her, and then threw the laundry basket out of her room, closing the door again. Then she spent half an hour singing hymns after she had successfully irked me to the end of earth. I got sick of it and confronted her about it. Then she said "I'm done". That seems to be her new catchphrase "I'm done". I guess she got that one from my sister while she was being stupid and I was trying to penetrate the stupid lobe of her brain and wasn't succeeding. She kept saying Crosby Stills & Nash is not country. Thus, "Teach Your Children" is not country, which is total bullshit. TYC is ONE SONG by CSN (feat. Y in this case). If TYC is not country, so be it. Saying CSN or CSNY is not country is a generality that does not have any weight when discussing a particular song BY that band. A guy I went to school with told me Michael Jackson did not sing that whatever-the-hell-gerne-Frank Sinatra-is song "Smile". I told him I own a CD by Michael Jackson that has that song on it. He said "Michael Jackson doesn't sing that kind of music". At least the guy I went to school with had somewhat of an excuse, being 1/3 mentally retarded or something. He was among my "learning disabled" classmates. When I look back and think about it, "learning disabled" is really just a mild version of "mentally retarded". Mental retardation is an actual diagnosis from what I understand. "Learning disabled" is a more broad term that can mean just about anything. In my case, it meant I was a recovering bohemian who didn't have enough built in respect for authority or for the weight of my own ignorance to make it worthwhile to rewind and start 1st grade over again.
Anyway.........there's all kinds of shit I think about and get pissed off at the thought of. Mom said she wanted to punch me in the face yesterday because she was talking to my nephew like he had any capacity to hear her when he clearly did not. She does shit like that. She's either a loudmouth trashead or she's a damn mouse of a person and gets pissed off at me for not being mousy with her. She either has something to say, in which she's loud and clear in her vocalizations, or she just talks through her ass in this whispy voice. It really ticks me off --- she says my name from like half a mile away and it sounds like a ghost is calling me. IF***** I were in the same room as her, whatever the hell word one could use to describe this kind of bullshit would be barely acceptable. But it isn't. You don't raise your voice to mouse level as opposed to a literal whisper when you want to get someone's attention. If she wants to get my attention, she has numerous ways of doing that if her voice is too tired to be of any use to her without pissing me off. It used to be my sister who had such a hard time comprehending the concept of speaking audibly. Now my mom has gotten worse than my sister ever was and now shee won't quit hogging every inch of hallspace when I say do or indicate anything. I'll be in the middle of a thought or making a decision before taking action and she'll burst in "WHAT ARE YOU DOING?" That seems to be her second favorite thing to say. The first is a tie between GO AWAY / LEAVE ME ALONE / SHUT UP or some combination of those three.
How the heck does one forgive this? It's not something I can ignore. It happens all the damn time. It's not something I can do anything about. I don't have any fucking money. My sister just spent half a million dollars moving myself and her into this basement apartment thing. It's not something I can talk to my mom about. She doesn't have any solution except to cry and say she's sorry. And then on it repeats.
I don't know when I'll pick up my Bible again. I feel like a fraud at even the prospect of prayer. Of course God hears me. But does He care? I guess I can try and find out. Maybe I'm not as guilty as I make myself out to be. I spent all day inside my apartment yesterday. I should have taken my mom's dogs for a walk. I need exercise. Mom's babysitting was done for the day and she came downstairs and for reason(s) I don't really understand, I let loose and ate 10 servings of Kellogg's Crispix, effectively taking an 1800 calorie day and turning it into a 3K calorie day. FKKKKKKK
I don't know how anyone in this planet is supposed to "go and tell". Missionaries only operate if they have money to travel etc. I don't even have a damn job, much less one that can give me time off to be a missionary. My pastors talk about "in your community". What does that look like? I invite my neighbor to dinner and if he's not put off by the fact that I'm a freaking weirdo and my mom is also off her rocker, then what? Ask him if he goes to church? Chances are he's either going to say "Yes" or "No". If he says "yes"..then what? Lure my other neighbors into my house? I'm pretty sure word would get out. "That guy's on a mission to convert us into his religion!" I don't know. I guess that wouldn't be the end of anything. It might even be the beginning of something good for those that seek something more out of this life than a bunch of entertainment and extended rope that will inevitably run out. It might get people talking. On the other hand, it might get my sister kicked out of her house. NO SOLICITING ALLOWED. This is a "covenant community", whatever the heck that means.....

what's that sound? pt IIXV///
uh...
ug
Tori Amos has a new album out. Almost all of the review posted for it @ Amazon consist of people who worship Tori as if she has some glimmer in her eyes that proves she's better than any other person in the human race. Gag.
Tori Amos has produced 3 pieces of artistic success.
LITTLE EARTHQUAKES (1991)
UNDER THE PINK (1994)
THE BEEKEEPER (2005)
THE BEEKEEPER is much lighter in tone than the other two, so many people snort derision at it. I haven't listened to in MANY years, probably listened to it in 2008 and/or 2009. Maybe 2010. Not since. It was a nice way to spend summer '05. It's not a good way to spend a lifetime.
LITTLE EARTHQUAKES seemed like the work of a very tortured individual. It definitely sent quakes through the rear part of my head and neck, especially toward the end of the album.
UNDER THE PINK basically did what many of Tori's newer albums seem to end up doing, but it did it better. It didn't consist of dabbling. It was more like LITTLE EARTHQUAKES told from a different angle; different words, different notes, different instruments...but much of the same subject matter, or pieces of it anyway.
I saw someone reviewing 2009's ABNORMALLY ATTRACTED TO SIN and stating they were offended by the title because it promoted being attracted to sin. If I could find that reviewer and tell them....sheesh. Two words: SINGER - SONG WRITER. I AM X-MAN. I AM AN ALCHOLIC. OH NO! DID I JUST PROMOTE ALCHOHOLISM???
We're in this together, Christian or not. We won't always be. The ones who don't repent will face damnation.
And then in 2014 she drops UNREPENTANT GERALDINES. I never listened to it. I didn't post a review of it on Amazon saying I was offended by it or go on some rant about how offensive the album is, I just didn't listen to it ---- just like I don't listen to Marilyn Manson anymore. A review of an album that consists solely of "I don't like the album title" is reminiscent of the proverb about holes that get filled up with opinions or something like that...
Tomorrow is 16 years after the twin towers in NYC were reduced to rubble.
The leadership of Legacy Church are encouraging their members to fast and pray tomorrow in hopes that God will bring about a miracle for the spiritual decay evident in this nation.
I honestly don't know if I'll be fasting. First step is waking up in the right direction mentally. As I've whined and complained about repeatedly as of late, my mind is like those reflections in a house of mirrors, constantly moving in odd directions and distracting me from any one particular path. I don't think I worded it quite that succinct before. Ye, look at my mad creative writin' skillz! Heh! See this? All smiles :) No, seriously.....I mean, if I can wake up and not FORGETa) about that day's agenda and MOTIVATEb) myself into that day's agenda and also not forget to FAST *****AND***** pray , and not get caught up in this one two three four eenie meanie mini mo on and on and on and on it goes, and just stick with a kind of fasting which I already know is food. I could fast music, but......honestly? Not today. Doubtful tomorrow. HIGHLY doubt I'll be willing to let that go for a whole day and just pour my nose into The Bible (books; no audio/music).
And then of course I have to be willing to stick with it. If I end up on the right path and I break off from it, then wow, another failure. Kinda big. Not too big. Or so I've heard people say.

https://www.amazon.com/Scream-Michael-Jackson/dp/B074R45D51/ref=sr_1_3_twi_aud_1?s=music&ie=UTF8&qid=1504774149&sr=1-3&keywords=scream+cd
Hmm...not sure if this is a good idea. Not really a fan of MJ's music overall. I much prefer 1987's BAD over his insanely still-much-hyped THRILLER (1982). 1991's DANGEROUS was so-so. HIStory had several touching moments, like "Tabloid Junkie", "Stranger In Moscow", "They Don't Care About Us" and others. I started losing interest with BLOOD ON THE DANCEFLOOR. It was a 13 track CD and there were only 2 songs I liked on it. Those being the title track and the remix of "HIStory", the title track for HIStory. I pretty much gave up after INVINCIBLE came out. I seriously did not wait 6 years for such mediocrity. And knowing how he died and the life he'd led prior to his death, being on drugs and shopping like a billionaire despite having absolutely no money of his own, I don't buy it when he titles an album INVINCIBLE and then opens up the album with a song titled "Unbreakable". I think "Why You Wanna Trip On Me" is more like it. That was 10 years before INVINCIBLE came out and if anything, I think that questions' weight must've gained some meaning to him if he is indeed innocent of the heneous crimes he's been accused of.
For those that like all of MJ's different shades (no pun intended..I think), this might be like an ideal radio station that goes off the air after a little over an hour and can be recharged at the touch of the "PLAY" button whenever an applicable consumer so desires.
I guess the Jackson family had to try something. I don't know if they're legally obligated, but debt collectors, I think, seems like I've heard of this somewhere, tend to hound next of kin etc for settlement of debt that a deceased family member had accrued. I'm sure they would like to get that paid off anyway; it's good PR for them and the Michael Jackson brand, which, ya know, lives on mightily though his body is no longer in commission. It's anybody's guess as to weather he went to Hell or Heaven. He obviously wasn't living solely for God. But then again, who does? How many monks are allowed to be monks? I guess it's easier in the U.S. You can be homeless if you choose to and still get more or less adequate nutrition and minister to anyone you feel led to minister to. They'll probably ignore you if you're caked with dirt and wearing dirty clothes etc., but then again... they might not.
Read a very disturbing news article about this 7 year old kid who was savagely tortured on a daily (?) basis and was even taken into state custody only to be handed right back to his perpetrators. His life is now over and his legal guardians tried to cover that up by feeding his remains to a pig.
I can only guess that's why I'm awake as early as I am. I didn't go to bed until after 1A.M. I've been up since 4.A.M.
I did read one entry of the 1yr Bible yesterday. I was a little confused b/c I didn't remember where I'd left off, the content thereof etc. I finished the Gospel of John. I think Acts follows that. I could be mistaken. The year is getting closer to its end. And both new and old Testament have much that I have not read. I'm surprised in that I am only 2.5 months behind on my reading. I was roughly the same amount behind as of mid July. So I'm not losing a whole lot of ground. I would be kind of surprised/amazed if I was finished with it before Easter 2018. I would call it a genuine miracle if I finish before Dec 31st or even before Jan 15th. I was tired yesterday. I went to bed/took a nap for at least 2.5 hours. And I'd slept for at least 9.5 hours straight through that night preceding it. Maybe that's why I'm already awake. If that is the case, this is insane. I got a ton of sleep because, at least I thought/think(?...), because I had missed about 10 hours of sleep over the past week or so. But because I slept so much, I'm losing at least 3 hours of sleep. If I don't get a good size nap in, 3 will permanently turn into 6. Petty matters, I know...........It may sound like I'm complaining. I honestly don't care. I think it's kind of humorous. idk.
Hmm...I suppose one or more of the half dozen+ people that read my blog, whoever y'all are, might question "Where was God during this little boy's 5 years of agony?"
The answer is that God is everywhere. As to why He let that boy suffer, I don't know. Maybe it's to inform people in the United States of America that you can't expect good behavior from your fellow man and to remind us that we have two choices
1) Surrender our lives to Him and quit relying on the gov't for every single thing

Child abuse is not a federal offense. It just so happens to be a crime according to the penal code of all 50 states. So the FBI's multi-jurisdiction law enforcement power had no say in that matter. The agency(s) that were responsible for dealing with this case were supposedly conducting investigations and they say they couldn't finish them because the household would shift from Kansas to Missouri and back. It really seems like they should have tried a lot harder. Supposedly the child abuse hotline was flooded with tips from neighbors etc. and the child himself made a statement to the children's welfare service or whatever it's called, but they somehow couldn't finish the investigation...why exactly? Because the family moved away......that seriously sounds like a load of laziness.
But I honestly think the problem has more to do with people's over-estimation of humanity's value. Humans are not naturally good creatures. We as humans need positive influences to be molded into good creatures. Positive influence mixed with bad influence gives way to all sorts of combinations of good and evil. The child's mom (stepmom, actually) may have thought her actions were justified because she was being monogomous in her relationship with the child's bioglogical father. To me, that sounds hard to imagine, but it's also hard to imagine that we as human beings don't recognize each other as family despite the fact that we all are descendants of Noah and his household unit. It's hard for me personally to understand the racial tensions that inspired someone to kill 5 little girls attending an African-American church back in the '50s. I don't claim to understand my influences and how they molded me. I simply know that I had positive influences in my life and without them I would be a lot more hateful and uncaring than I already am. There's really no other logical explanation for it and The Bible backs this up --- tons of proverbs pertaining to how to raise your children and the book of the law of Moses addresses this as well.
Without an impartial 3rd party, nobody can be certain of anything. God --- He is not impartial. But He is wise beyond human understanding ----- he is slow to anger and quick to listen. He sees everything and processes it all in His consciousness. And He has no equal. He has no peer group. He's not part of some lynch mob. He's here and he's willing to do whatever it takes to get us ALL into Heaven. But he wants us to WANT to get into Heaven. As long as the human species is such a divided house, evil and good will continue to be a choice we have to make and it will remain a struggle. Thankfully God dispels any notion that world peace will have its day so we don't waste our energy and breath praying for something that would ultimately require God to step in and turn us into robots rather than living things with the capacity to think and feel. I don't have kids of my own, so pardon my somewhat odd parallel, but I don't want a cat --- Hey, Sophie! --- who is obedient and always comes when I call her if she cannot enjoy my company during the times that she does come to me when I call her. Why would God be any different? If we were reprogammed like robots, God Almighty might as well just snap our necks in two and wash His hands of the whole creation he chose to invest in many (many many many) millenniums ago. And why would He do that? I don't understand the reasons, but Hell is not going to cease its existence. If we all died today instead of enduring the good and the bad and the even worse that this Earth has in it, many people would be added to Hell today --- and for what reason?
I could be wrong, but I get the impression that the kid I was reading about in that article -- his name escapes me at the moment --- had some hope in his heart even in his last moments. The song that people associate with John Michael Montgomery --- he may have wrote it himself, I don't know --- titled "The Little Girl", although over simplified quite possibly in its portrayal of a much less severe and happier ending of a similar domestic situation, I think is enough to give pause and piece things into perspective.
Hmm...not sure if this is a good idea. Not really a fan of MJ's music overall. I much prefer 1987's BAD over his insanely still-much-hyped THRILLER (1982). 1991's DANGEROUS was so-so. HIStory had several touching moments, like "Tabloid Junkie", "Stranger In Moscow", "They Don't Care About Us" and others. I started losing interest with BLOOD ON THE DANCEFLOOR. It was a 13 track CD and there were only 2 songs I liked on it. Those being the title track and the remix of "HIStory", the title track for HIStory. I pretty much gave up after INVINCIBLE came out. I seriously did not wait 6 years for such mediocrity. And knowing how he died and the life he'd led prior to his death, being on drugs and shopping like a billionaire despite having absolutely no money of his own, I don't buy it when he titles an album INVINCIBLE and then opens up the album with a song titled "Unbreakable". I think "Why You Wanna Trip On Me" is more like it. That was 10 years before INVINCIBLE came out and if anything, I think that questions' weight must've gained some meaning to him if he is indeed innocent of the heneous crimes he's been accused of.
For those that like all of MJ's different shades (no pun intended..I think), this might be like an ideal radio station that goes off the air after a little over an hour and can be recharged at the touch of the "PLAY" button whenever an applicable consumer so desires.
I guess the Jackson family had to try something. I don't know if they're legally obligated, but debt collectors, I think, seems like I've heard of this somewhere, tend to hound next of kin etc for settlement of debt that a deceased family member had accrued. I'm sure they would like to get that paid off anyway; it's good PR for them and the Michael Jackson brand, which, ya know, lives on mightily though his body is no longer in commission. It's anybody's guess as to weather he went to Hell or Heaven. He obviously wasn't living solely for God. But then again, who does? How many monks are allowed to be monks? I guess it's easier in the U.S. You can be homeless if you choose to and still get more or less adequate nutrition and minister to anyone you feel led to minister to. They'll probably ignore you if you're caked with dirt and wearing dirty clothes etc., but then again... they might not.
Read a very disturbing news article about this 7 year old kid who was savagely tortured on a daily (?) basis and was even taken into state custody only to be handed right back to his perpetrators. His life is now over and his legal guardians tried to cover that up by feeding his remains to a pig.
I can only guess that's why I'm awake as early as I am. I didn't go to bed until after 1A.M. I've been up since 4.A.M.
I did read one entry of the 1yr Bible yesterday. I was a little confused b/c I didn't remember where I'd left off, the content thereof etc. I finished the Gospel of John. I think Acts follows that. I could be mistaken. The year is getting closer to its end. And both new and old Testament have much that I have not read. I'm surprised in that I am only 2.5 months behind on my reading. I was roughly the same amount behind as of mid July. So I'm not losing a whole lot of ground. I would be kind of surprised/amazed if I was finished with it before Easter 2018. I would call it a genuine miracle if I finish before Dec 31st or even before Jan 15th. I was tired yesterday. I went to bed/took a nap for at least 2.5 hours. And I'd slept for at least 9.5 hours straight through that night preceding it. Maybe that's why I'm already awake. If that is the case, this is insane. I got a ton of sleep because, at least I thought/think(?...), because I had missed about 10 hours of sleep over the past week or so. But because I slept so much, I'm losing at least 3 hours of sleep. If I don't get a good size nap in, 3 will permanently turn into 6. Petty matters, I know...........It may sound like I'm complaining. I honestly don't care. I think it's kind of humorous. idk.
Hmm...I suppose one or more of the half dozen+ people that read my blog, whoever y'all are, might question "Where was God during this little boy's 5 years of agony?"
The answer is that God is everywhere. As to why He let that boy suffer, I don't know. Maybe it's to inform people in the United States of America that you can't expect good behavior from your fellow man and to remind us that we have two choices
1) Surrender our lives to Him and quit relying on the gov't for every single thing
2) Keep relying on the gov't, in an increasingly re-structured form.

ICEE - a silhouette of a beverage...
ha
Uh...hmm...yeah. FYI, my #1 fan (KATHY BATES NOOOO!) seems to be dunne w/ me. Last six posts have just kinda been gaining traction by themselves. There's usually a gold star beside each of my posts. The star....has fallen........
Read one entry of The Holy Bible. Snippets about different kings of the region. The New Testament entry was also an interim segment, detailing the immediate aftermath of Jesus' death, i.e.: the discrd of his remains and his burial. I prayed to God that He would change my heart to one that is more grateful. I am aware that God is King, and that He is to thank for all good things in life. I just have a hard time really A) being positive and B) paying interest in response to good things. It's also confusing when the word "good" is used. The way of man is destruction. Am I not a man? If not, what am I? Angel 2.0? "A new creation" seems rather vague...which one? I'm not the new Heaven that Revelations mentions (or so I hear...), am I? Am I a fragment of The Sky? Am I Sky Power?
Anyway...yeah, I'm a bit snarky...idk. Not frustrated. I did read some yesterday...I think. Honestly, I'm not sure. I read some either yesterday or the day before. O yes! I did read some yesterday, but I had forgotten to pray before reading. I didn't pray until nighttime before bed...oh, wait...was that yesterday? It really seems like that was...I don't know. Anyway, I either neglected Friday or Saturday. Maybe not. Agh! The days are a blur. That's life with income unearned. Ya, and you Republicans think I got it easy? Well, compared to some people I do. It's really saddening to think of all these single moms who are left to work 2 or 3 jobs working 35-50 hours a week making maybe a tad more than minimum wage. Being a mom is hard when you got toddlers. Just watching moms with toddlers is hard. I can't imagine being one. And a single one no less. My sister is rather well positioned being married and with a living and loving mom who can usually babysit for her while she works for substantially more than minimum wage. I by default have it that much easier seeing how content my sister is most of the time. It gets hard when my nephew refuses to go to sleep and cries bloody murder because he's tired against his own will. Thankfully, for me, I can't hear him cry as well. Unfortunately, she's obligated to listen to his cries, however long they may last.
I was thinking a few or so days ago, maybe a week, idk....about Republicans and Democrats and Obama vs. Trump.....I remember opponents of Obama, which at one time included Hilary Clinton, criticized Obama for his lack of experience. Ignoring the oft-ignored evidence that suggests but does not prove that he's an evil demon of a human, one could say the reason he inflated the deficit so far beyond imagination's limit is that his lack of experience left him unable to overspend in moderation. I don't think he was doing anything that Republicans and his fellow Democrats didn't do, I think he was just more liberal (hehe) with the way he did it.
The weather today is freakin' perfect. And when I say freakin', it really is freakin'. This weather Victor Frankenstein could not even imagine, let alone create. God be praised! And I wish there was something I could do for those whose faces aren't gladdened by this a-ma-zing weather. AMAZING! I tell you, IT IS FREAK-ING A-AMA-----ING!!! WWWWWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!
Ok, I'm too hyper. Sloooooooooooooow it down.

Frustrated......
Things that often confuse the blood out of my head when hearing people talk about Christianity.
Paul uses a phrase that is translated commonly, if not always, into English as "new creation".
Jesus said "If you love me you will keep my commands"
Paul also says something against sin decreasing vs. mercy increasing, which sounds rather unforgiving....maybe that's just a personal outburst that some people feel in agreement with? Head Pastor Legacy Marietta didn't seem to think so. But I haven't read that entire passage myself, so idk.
If mercy were not taken out of the picture, one could contemplate the lack of love that man naturally has for God and if objectivity were to be attainable, one could objectively measure their love by their actions.
As for "new creation", what the heck does that mean? I can see that being an illustration of our worth in God's sight with the overlooking of our sin(s), but is not laziness and lack of determination responded to by severe reprimanding both in words and actions all throughout both the Old & New Testament? Does the parable of the talents say anything about sitting on one's ass and thinking about stuff instead of working your fingers to the bone and yielding an overflow of harvest? Jesus says you're going to Hell if you're sleeping when He returns. It's a good thing I'm able to stay awake all day after a mere 4 hrs of sleep as today demonstrates. I've been a little sleepy, but not overwhelmingly so. I really don't get the sense that Jesus MAKES a person not sin. The stone tablets of God's Finger tell us what to avoid, Jesus guides us as to how to accomplish it and the Holy Spirit offers clarification when it is sought. Love, according to one of my Bible study mates, is an Attitude, whereas anger is an emotion. In my mind, that is putting yourself second and others first. You may have a burning anger within you toward someone, but you brush past it like a sprinter going through thorns ---- You don't stop and weedwhack before you try getting to 1st place; you feel the pain and you recognize its insignificance. I really need to do a much better job at putting that into practice. My mom pisses me off and then she asks if I'm mad at her and then she refuses to have anything to do with me. I need to quit using my mom as a standard with which to live by. She's got her heart on straight more or less, better than I do, it often seems, at least lately, but she is not the final word on scripture. I need to knuckle down and read God's Word. I wouldn't be so frustrated by all these things that I don't even know anything about first hand if I'd just cast aside references people make ABOUT them and just immerse myself into the Words themselves and if needed ask for The Spirit of Truth aka The Holy Spirit for guidance if it appears I need it (and/or want it?) So much of what many folks say about The Bible is just hearsay anyway. People get these pre-literacy illustrations in their head and then take those illustrations with them when they get around to reading the words that inspired those illustrations, and don't seem to realize that the illustrations are nowhere to be found in what was read. So it's really difficult to figure out if a person is led by The Holy Spirit in their interpretation or some cartoon they saw as children that I would have no familiarity with. You can't ask people that without offending them either. If they're not offended, getting a straight answer might still be out of reach.
Aaaanyway.......I don't know what i'm talking about. I am Snoopy. Hear me yawn.

You need these ey? WHY DON'T YOU ALREADY HAVE THEM!!!!
http://ghostbustersnews.com/2017/08/31/two-new-ghostbusters-themed-journals-available-anovos/
Some guy on GBNews' facebook page counterpart of this URL commented I NEED THESE! I so wanted to knock that guys' head in. Facebook wouldn't let me. They wouldn't even let me comment. I guess that's because I unchecked the "like" button after so much hype brought on largely by them was put into the 2016 remake only to find out that it was a big freakin' pile of time wasted on nothing. Been waiting all this time for a GB sequel. I was OK with a remake, since the original actors were half dead as it was even by the time I was in high school (1999-2002), but I seriously never thought it was going to be as lazily put together as it was. The finale was pretty cool but the time spent getting there was too much for too little. I didn't even realize how awesome it was b/c I was just waiting for it to end so I could get a ride back home with my mom who was watching it with me.
Anyway, this GB journal -- this set of GB journals -- are not new. I bought one of them six+ months ago at GhostbustersFans courtesy of The Amazon Marketplace. It was really well priced. $7.99. Sold it and about a dozen other items @ 2nd & Charles (Kennesaw, GA location) for about a dozen single dollar billz. (pfff) I liked the journal, but it just had no functionality for me personally. My hand gets tired really easily if I sit down and write by hand. Typing on this here keyboard is much more productive and easy peasy.
Yeah, like anybody cares. I know, I know.............
Too much negativity again. I submitted an online gift to Legacy Marietta (you GO guys, rock ON!! WOOO! Go Team M!) and prayed to God before doing so, as I haven't been reading my Daily Life Principles Bible edited by Charles Stanley almost this whole week. I read like 1.5 entries going on 2 except my mom thought church started at 10:30 so she alerted me like 15+ minutes earlier than necessary and I didn't start reading first thing after awakening. I doubt my prayer will be answered in full immediately. I am feeling a little more at peace after praying. THANK GOD!!! for everything.
