But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far off have been brought near by the blood of Christ. For he himself is our peace, who has made us both one and has broken down in his flesh the dividing wall of hostility... Eph. 2:13-14

Long time no write

Okay, I haven't had time to post anyting lately. But now I'm sick, so there's not much for me to do. Every time I smell food I feel 'woozy' and, um...well, I won't be gross, but if my dear friend next door ever reads this, she'll know what I'm talking about. So anyway, I'm getting an ipod!!!!! My grandparents let me order it. Yeah, see, it's 30GB and it has a verse engraved on the back and it shipped from Shanghai yesterday. Now I'm totally broke!!! And I'm $6 in debt! Oh well! I'm getting an ipod! ooiihhuuuh I no feel so good. Ah well! Such is life. I hope someone gets online. My dad's working outside, so it's just me and Bandit. He's so sweet. I wish I could get a cat, but both Mom and Dad say no, so I'll just dream and get one when I move out. ihhk. Anyway, I think that no one pays attention to this blog, because there are no comments. I realise that people probably don't want to read this, but still, isad. Yay! Nextdoorneighbor is online! Oh yeah, we watched this movie called 'The Thin Man' last night. It was cool. I liked it, but then again, I like most old movies, like Hitchcock. I love his stuff. That's why we watched it 4 my Bday. But I can't see Psyco. Ah well. My 14th Birthday entry in my Scrapbook is laying out. WOW that was a long time ago. I like it. I think it's my favourite, but I'm not sure if I got the words right to this song that I put in there, but only Lord of the Rings fans would no, so maybe I'm OK. Yeesh, Nextdoorneighbor is going slow with the email today. Oh yeah, she's sending me pictures - no wonder. Nextdoorneighbor is a very long name. I'll just call her, um,...AW! Isa puppy! No, I'm not calling her that, I mean, she sent me a picture of a puppy. Yay! Now I'm getting lots and lots of emails! Adios!

Comments

Please, people, feel free to comment. I like comments. I've never gotten any. Doesn't anyone read this thing, or am I just typing for no reason? I would like people to read the things I've written and comment on them.

Something I wanted to put on a long time ago but couldn't because something was up with the website.

Okay, never mind. I was going to put this really long thing on here, but Now my other blog isn't working, so I guess I won't be doing that. Wait, I found it!

I realise that this most definitly has been thought of before, mostly because my dad mentioned somthing about something similar being on a movie, I think it was Men in Black (which I haven't seen) but I could be wrong, so don't look for it. Regardles of its being original or no, what if we are not what we think we are? Now, of course, you're probably thinking all sorts of wierd things right now, whether about what I just typed or me, but that was probably not the best way to start. What I mean to say is: could we be small, microscopic, virutally nothing, and yet not know it? What our universe was just an atom to some other, much larger world? Would we know it? I don't think so. Does an atom realise that it is not the largest thing? No, of course not, it couldn't, because how could it: it cannot reason. But what if it could? Would it think that it made up something else, that it was not the largest thing made? If an atom was a world, would the creatures living on it know that we existed? They couldn't see us, so what reason would they have to believe that we exist? In this way, the same could be true for us. Our Universe could be nothing more than an atom, observed through a microscope by things too large for us to comprehend; not just God, you understand, they would of course be smaller than God, however what if it was so? What if our planets circling around our sun are no larger than our electrons to someone else? Does this make us any more or less significant? No, I don't believe so. We may be one of many, many universes, but what does it matter? Perhaps the only thing it could do is show us how stupid it is to rebel against the order of things. We, with our stupid, stuck-up minds think that we are everything, the smartest, the wisest, the most magnificent things that ever lived. But what if God has created something larger and more intelligent than we could ever be? What are our great, free minds then? What if we fall short of knowing not only the wisdom of God, but also of a greater creation of His that we know nothing of? We are so stupid! Perhaps this world will someday explode and cause an explosion similar to the atom bomb, then we would be treated justly, we, who wish to be treated equally, who believe that we should always be right, never questioned, never critisized, who cry out to be treated fairly, we would have our justice, and all would be treated equally. WE WOULD ALL GO TO HELL. Okay, back to my idea. Sorry. Now, back to our feature presentation. If on the one hand, we are stupid and insignificant, on the other, think of the vast love of God. If we were but an atom in a whole other world, and yet God sent His Son to us, are we not the most significant thing He has created? Does that not make us more special, more unique than anything else? This other world, if it existed, would have to be corrupt, just as ours is; our stars explode, therefore something must go wrong in this large universe I have dreamed up. So why would God send His Son to us, and not to them? Would we be so much worse, or would He, in His Wisdom have a spectacular plan for us alone, none others? This is either the best reason to believe that there is another world, or the worst. On the one hand, it takes us, after being shown that we are nothing, and tells us that we are special. On the other hand, there are so many questions that could never be answered, and I think that there are enough of those.

Now you see what goes on in my mind: ludicrasy. So now I have that idea out and maybe now I'll be able to write better. I've been writing a little today [today was a very long time ago], so that is much happier. Have a nice day, and please don't think I'm stupid. I don't believe that there is another world, so I'm not trying to prove that it exists. But if it did, would we know...?

Today

Hi. My computer is rrrrrrrrrreeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaalllllllllllllllyyyyyyyyyyy slow right now. Once something finally loads, it's fine, but it takes fffffoooooorrrrrrrreeeevvvveeeeeerrrrrrr to load. Wait a sec, gotta check my email again. Oops, I was wrong, I was replying to an email, not checking it. I need to see if my other email ever did receive my messages. No, still receiving message 4 of 17. Oooooo, I like the numbers! It finally finished! Yay! Not much. Emily and Grandma and that's it. I have the llama song stuck in my head because of a signature on an email.
Tonight we get to watch Luther. I like it. Isgood. I'm not dressing up, though, because I get to twice this year and that's enough, also, I don't think anyone else is going to. Boat Anchor is moving a lot faster now.
An acquaintance of mine is having a lot of trouble right now and I've been thinking about it a lot, so if anyone out there would like to pray, it would be appreciated. It's really hard, because 1. he's around my age, rather than way older as usual, and 2. I semi-understand how he feels, only he's not getting better, so please pray for Sarah's friend.

I have to go now.

Hi!

Hello, people who are reading this. I like to multi-task. 4-instance, I'm going back and forth between three websites right now, and if I can remember what it was...ok, I did...I'll be going between four. Actually, that's kinda lame. Oh well! Charlie and the Chocolate Factory comes out Nov. 8th! Yay! I'm currently buying the Soundtrack. It's cheaper! Yay! None of the pictures are working. Oh well. I'm going to go onto MRL to see about armbands now (Not Choclolate factory, that came out kinda wrong-they're celtic). Practikilt-it's not a skirt, it's an attitude. Ok, now I'm buying the CD. I hope. Boat Anchor is going really slow right now. Yay! It worked! Dad and Bandit are asleep. Bandit's laying on Dad. Yay, I can get armbands and an elven brooch! And maybe something else...maybe...maybe not. Well, definitly not the eating utensils, I think I'll just stick with the armbands and the brooch. Oh yeah! I can see if the Schindler's (spell?) List Soundtrack is cheap on Amazon! It is! I'll have to see if I have any money left after this. Yay! I can get it! And I'm Broke! Bye!

Right now, at this very moment...

Hi. How are you doing today? I'm doing well. The TV is on. Why was that lady enjoying the beach from her car? She couldn't even hear the waves! Why is classical music playing for a lighting commercial? The program that's coming on looks interesting. Never mind. Ok, it still looks interesting, but not compleatly.
Dad's talking about getting rid of the Motorcycles and getting a convertable. Is that a good thing? Ooooh, does dad have my blog? Bern, Switzerland, 1905. That's what the tv thing said. Anyway, I'm not sure about it. I really hope Dad doesn't have this. I mean, It's not that I'm trying to hide anything, I can tell him. But I don't want to. I tried to make this resolution where I don't complain to my parents (or hopefully pretty much anyone else) unless it is absolutly nessesary. This isn't nessesary. A Mustang Convertable sounds really cool. There's just some sentimental attachment to Tug and Happy Car. I've gotta go. Good Bye! God be with you!

Ceud Mile Failte!

Fair fa' your honest, sonsie face,
Great chieftain o' the puddin' race!
Aboon them a' ye tak yer place-
Painch tripe or thairm:
Weel are ye wordy o' a grace as lang's my airm
-----------------------------------------------
Ye Pow'rs, wha mak' mankind your care,
And dish them oot their bill o' fare,
Auld Scotland wants nae skinkin' ware that jaups in luggies.
But, if ye wish her gratefu' prayer, Gie her a Haggis!

That's the "Address to a Haggis" by Robert Burns. It has a very interesting flavor. Men in kilts are very likable. They have cool crests and instruments and sometimes super cool accents. I really love the Scottish accent. Oh yeah, haggis, I forgot. There's a legend about Haggis being some sort of animal that they hunted. It had two long legs and one short legs. When it was on flat ground it could only run around in a circle. Actually, Haggis is oatmeal, onions, lamb's heart, livers and kidneys (often with sherry), lots of pepper and is stuffed into a synthetic version of a sheep's stomach. It could still be stuffed into a reall sheep's stomach in Scotland, but not in the U.S. - not as many sheep.
I saw a fake sheep with a sign above it with the recipie for instant haggis. It involved a grenade,... messy.
So anyway, I got a sword while at the Scotish Games, adding to my collection. Did I mention that I like the scottish accent? I think the first time that I heard it and I knew for certain that it was scottish was in the Lord of the Rings when Pippin was talking. Then I saw a picture of Billy Boyd in a kilt, wondered why he was wearing a 'skirt', and the rest, shall we say, is history. Now I'm going to Scottish Games and eating Haggis and trying to figure out how to say Sgian Dubh and Ceud Mile Failte. I listen to Alester Beg(g?) (sorry if I spelled that wrong) whenever I can, so I hear a scottish accent a lot (when possible). When I listened to "Redwall" on tape it was acted out (vocally, of course) and Matthias was scottish. I loved it. Especialy because he talked a lot. I also saw some cheezy movie about some really old show with some lady in it and her...nephew, I think, was scottish. That was cool. There's also the scottish chicken...uh...can't remember the name right now, in Chicken Run who is fun to listen to. Also, my name is scottish. [In the mythical world of my old pen name, Rebekkah Lockert,] Lockert used to be Lockhart, but when my family came over the spelling got changed. Cool, huh?
So anyway, scottish stuff is really cool. They have sheep.
Well, pictures were supposed to pop up here, but I must have clicked something wrong, so they didn't. I probably shouldn't advertise without cost anyway. So have a great day!

O flow'r of Scotland,
When will we see
Your likes again-
That fought an' died for
Your wee bit hill an' glen?

And stood against him
Proud Edward's army,
And sent him homeward
Tae think again!

Today


Today was a good day. I went super fast. I got the llama song back and you can visit it. It's in my 'Links' section.
I drew a cool alien. I've never drawn an alien before. Its legs are weird, but it's arms and hands are cool. I like its outfit, except for maybe the middle. But I like the design.
House is off! Nooooo! For a whole month! Sad! I like House! Stupid sports. Last time a guy got his hand amputated because it died because he had some sort of disease from chickens because he cleaned up after illegal cock fights. I like House. I'll be glad when it starts, but I also still like October. It needs to get cooler, though. We still have the air on.
I need to write more. I've been writing, but I'm running out of candles and I can only write at night and I can't use a lamp, so I'm stuck. Oh yeah! I've got that huge round one. Happy! This is a picture of S. When she took her Prize-winning racoons to New Zealand: Face smudged out for privacy.

October 2nd

Kinda warm today, but still happy. I like the Incredibles. It's a cool movie.
Oh yeah, I didn't finish the Red Badge of Courage, or the Count of Monte Cristo. I'm going to start War and Peace, but I haven't yet. I need to start it soon.
I've got to go.

Saturday, October 1

October 1st

Yay! It's October! Happy October everyone! October is happy! I'm happy! It's fall! Fall is happy like Spring is happy, only it's happy in a different way, because Spring happy also has bugs and upcoming heat. Fall happy has fewer bugs and upcoming cold. It's chilly, and I love it!
I would like to have DSL. But I don't. But I'm not sad, I'm happy. Isn't that great?! Everybody be happy! Yay! I like the word plagiarism. I realize that it doesn't have the nicest implications, but it's still a cool word.
2 more months until the Moon explodes. I still haven't figured out what I'll do. Really, I don't need to do anything. I'll just watch it explode, and take pictures, and if the world doesn't die, I'll sell them for big money. There's always a positive side, I just don't always feel like seeing it, but today I do. So Happy Day, everyone!

Monday...I think that might say enough

So today is Monday. Mondays are hard, but survivable, I'm living proof. Well, really, my life isn't that hard. Actually, I have it good, really good. It just took me longer than I expected to get everything done today. Oh well, it's done.
I'm having a very uninspired time right now. I can't write, and that's really hard. But I seem to be doing better, so that's good. Our internet connection is weird and we have this huge TV thing always sitting somewhere on the page so that I have to move it to finish reading stuff. I truly hope that you have a wonderful day.

Saturday

Hi! Today is Saturday, but we had to do the yard (like mowing and stuff) anyway. Yesterday we went on curvy roads and saw a thing about D. B.. I liked it.
J.M. is dragging my dog around. Well, actually he's dragging my dog's toy, but Bandit likes his bunny (even though it has no head) and so he attatched his mouth to it and tried to pull it back. He loves that game. He's also adorable, but he hates people. Especially small children. He's finally decided that my friends might be ok, but they're always (well, not always, but pretty close) pretty careful around him. If they aren't, they get snapped at. But he's gotten a lot better, and hasn't snapped at anyone in a long time. Really, a young relative of mine is the only child that seems to understand Bandit. She knows that he's mean, but she also knows that he won't hurt her if she doesn't try to touch him or get too close. She even helps me get him in one of his 'saftey areas', such as under my bed (a.k.a. his haven) Of course, everyone that lives in my house understads him, it's just that she's the only other young person outside of my household that seems to get it. Why am I putting all of this information on here? I have no idea. Oh well.
Our computer moniter just died. It's sad, even though it's our old computer. It's the one that we put all of our games on. Oh well, maybe someone will buy us a new one that doesn't shut down and lock up and stuff. J.M. is still convinced that he can fix it. He has absolutly no idea what he's doing. He wants to take the front off. He's going to break it more than fix it. He won't be able to find the problem because he doesn't know what he's doing. I'd be fine with it, but we don't have another moniter, so if that one is broken beyond repair we'll never get to play on it again.
My quilt really needs work. It's sad. I accidentaly rubbed off the unicorn.
I need to put Caedmon's Call on my MD player. And the Passion of the Christ Soundtrack.
Somebody needs to get on their email and email me right now. They didn't. Oh well.
AAHHH! I lost the llama song! AAHHH!

Monday, September 19

Today

So today I kinda moved slow so it seemed to take forever, but then again it didn't, it just did take forever, and then I realized it took forever and so then it did seem to take forever. Anyway, I didn't get everything finished, so I have to do more tomorrow.
I finished Crime and Punishment Saturday! Huzzah! I started The Count of Monte Cristo a long time ago but had to stop. I don't want to finish it. But then again, I do, because I watched the movie and really liked it and I don't want to be someone who watches the movie, but never reads the book. This rarely happens. Maybe it could just this once. I would like to read War and Peace next, but I'm already reading The Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin and tomorrow I start The Red Badge of Courage, so I think I should finish one of the two before I start another book.
For those who haven't seen Charlie and the Chocolate Factory I believe that you are missing out on a good movie. It's not scary, even though E.S. says that she thinks it would be. Well, okay, some smaller children and those who were afraid of the other movie might think it a little bit frightening, and some might lable it dark (which it is, slightly), but still, it's a movie worth watching.
I should have started posting like this a long time ago, it's rather entertaining.
I am now going to anounce my theory of the loyalty of dogs. I believe that it is a rare thing for a dog to be truly loyal (showing steady adherence, service, and faithfulness, as to a government, group, person, ideal, or the like.) I maintain that what we humans, desperate for love, claim that a dog is devoted to someone while it is only using common sense. If a dog runs away, but always comes home at night, is it loyal, or is it just hungry and knows where it will get food? If a dog barks at a robber is he protecting your territory, or his?

Slinkies

Some people are like slinkies, they're pretty useless.
But it still brings a smile to your face when you push them down a staircase.

I like the sheep

Genius

When you claim to be a genius you nullify the statement, whether it was true originally or not.

Life

Life is good, be happy!

I like to stand out in the rain and get soaking wet, and I've never gotten sick from it. Enjoy life. You've only got one to live.

Change

Change is a good thing, don't hide from it.

My day:
I woke up.
I ate.
I worked.
I got on the computer.
I typed.

Wow, I've accomplished a lot. Happy!
Isn't this a cute frog?

Illness


When you are sick, just think of how much more ill you could be, and cheer up! Remember that thousands of people die every day, and you really shouldn't complain. At least your alive and well enough to be reading this! I mean, you could have cancer that was raging out of control and on your death bed. Or you could have a burst appendix that had reached lethal levels. Or you could have been poisoned, or shot or....
