Rhyme Slime Time

"Yuck!", said the duck, when he stepped into some muck.

"Froodle!" said the Poodle, when he ate a noodle.

What I can do, and can't

I have decided this:

My brother Brady can put me to shame at anything athletic.

I can put Brady to shame at anything musical.

To each his own?

Wall-E

This movie was scary and depressing in a way.
But irrationally hopeful.
and Cute.
And funny, much reason for laughter and glee.


Some thoughts:


It was unconsciously (I assume) a defense for the concept of a soul. It made me think. And even though it was a robot, the whole point was that it was endowed with Human attributes and emotion, even if in a limited fashion.
So when a robot that is all metal and chips and programming and replaceable parts and solar energy begins to make choices - have feelings - remember things? There must be something inside it that is completely separate from parts - from matter. Wall-E had a soul. And while I believe this would be impossible, it made me remember:
Humans have souls. And I think that undeniable part of us that must be completely seperate from matter is inexplicable without bringing a divine creator into the equation. Additionally, when all that matter - that body - dies, what happens to the soul? Does it just dissapear? *poof*

I'd argue that the soul lives on.



Oh, and haha, have you ever imagined a robot with a slight case of amnesia either?

It Made sense a couple days ago, And again,

I might be jaded, it's complicated.
And though I'm not the first to say it:
Many things are overrated.

It's ending...but what's ending?
It's over...but no tears
.......
Do I care?

"All this / Beauty / might have to close your eyes / and slowly / open wide ......... and watch the s u n r i s e"

But it's a sunset and it's pale--disturbed clamour short and frail.

I grow into myself not out. I grow taller but as my head gets farther
from my feet
it's harder to believe that I can fly.

My eyes have seen the angel and the monster but it's harder to see ("All this beauty") every day.

God's inside me and sometimes I forget
am I scared to lead--or scared to be led?

We sigh and lie and cry and fly than fall

and die..

But by and by we'll live a life [if we believe and confess] -- that is the life that's "waiting to begin"

Today as we dream we must light the fire that burns in souls on anointed oil
One day we'll awake and burn so bright in the light that is not overcome.

When our "poor bodies" depart
It's an end
---but a start (<..."it's ending"...>)

every end is a beginning 'cause the last end begins
an

E T E R N I T Y

in a "world without end"...

Sometimes I doubt like Thomas
But I want to believe like Thomas More
and die nobly
I want to believe with a faith that will show me the scars on His hands


Show me Why
Show me the reason

Help me to say Goodbye ("God be with you")

Show me faith
Show mt perspective

Help me to Hope

Show me beauty
Show me Glory

Help me to Love

Show me truth
Show me eternity

(...It's been put in my heart...)




Nothing I have wasn't given me
Nothing I am wasn't from You

Thank you.
Hallelujah.
Amen.

I have a blog

Did you know Blog backwards is Glob?!?!?!?!

I think that's pretty amazing, don't you?



-Jared

p.s. More meaningful things will be posted here in time. Unless option a - this was really meaningful to you. Or option b, that the other things I write here are completely meaningless.

p.p.s. Did you know G-U-L-L-I-B-L-E spells Gullible and that Blog backwards really isnt Glob?

p.p.p.s. really i know that you didn't fall for it, i'm sure you're very smarte.

p.p.p.p.s. Is a postscript really proper for a Blog? or a Glob for that matter?

finis.
