Red Zone - Revisited

Another discussion last night brought up the concept of Red Zone again. If you need a refresher course in what this is visit my October 23, 2003 post. A friend suggested that perhaps it isn't the placement of the HANDS that really matters. But rather, a girl should focus on whether the guy's elbow is pointing towards her.. or brushing against her arm or whatever. This is better illustrated visually, but perhaps you get the idea. Anyways.. I just thought I'd share.

Hamsters in my Head?

So I discovered something last night. When you publish your thoughts on a website... then people KNOW your thoughts. Yes, I know... it seems obvious, right? Well I guess it had just never struck me that writing this blog was actually like letting all of you right inside my brain.

In a way, that was the point. The reason I called the blog what I called it is because I am quite confused... even if I am HAPPILY confused. So I figured maybe I could rid myself of confusion by letting you guys sort it out. But last night I discovered that the advice that people give you when they know how you're thinking is SO much more profound than the advice they give you when they don't know how you're thinking. Like it hits home about 25 times harder, and although I am not the happiest about the advice that I received, it makes a tiggity ton of sense.

Usually, when people give advice, you can just smile and nod and then make the decision whether or not it fits your situation and your thinking. But when people give ME advice (after reading my blog, I mean), they know what my excuses will be before I even come up with them. It's frustrating to say the least.

I'm not sure the point of this little post, cept that I was struck by the idea of a bunch of little people running around in my head watching movies of the thoughts that cross my mind. You ARE the little people. I hope you enjoy yourselves in the movie theatre of my mind.

Answers? I have NUN.

**Warning... the following post is a bit more personal than usual. If you care not to enter into the inner most depths of my brain, then I have sufficiently warned you. However, I am open to any and all comments that you might have concerning the current blog... just don't be brutal. **

No.. "NUN" in the subject wasn't a typo. Confusion ensues once again in the discernment process. I think it might have something to do with the sudden fervor to once again re-inkindle my prayer life. I guess when I talk to God more, He talks to me more. Which is a good thing... right? Except that I love being affectionate. And I love being around boys. And I can't much imagine spending my life in a convent. But... if that's what I'm meant to do.. then that is what will make me most happy, right??

Hmmm. Life is full of questions and there are few definite answers. Does anyone know of any orders of sisters who are Habitted, Apostolic, work in Ministry, and full of goofy crazy gals that laugh alot?... oh yeah.. and they let you get married. :)... uh.. right.

Just smile, friends.

31 years into the Culture of Death

“It is poverty to decide that a child must die so that you may live as you wish.” – Mother Teresa
“Before I formed you in the womb, I knew you.” – Jer 1:5
“Everyone has an obligation to be at the service of life." - Evangelium Vitae, Pope John Paul II

The great saints knew it, the Pope knows it, the Bible teaches it – ABORTION IS WRONG.

And yet, somehow, one of the greatest nations in the world cannot understand that killing a human child should be against the law.

Does anyone recall the Declaration of Independence? Doesn’t it say something to the effect of “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness."

So one of the most important documents in American history tells us that ALL men are endowed with the RIGHT TO LIFE. And medical evidence proves that a human person exists from the moment of sperm fertilizing egg. So if a human exists at its very beginnings, and our declaration of independence states that every human has the RIGHT to life, then how is it possible that we have legalized the murder of tiny children? How can this be a VALID law? What has our nation become when we think that one person should have the RIGHT to kill another person no matter how innocent, no matter how helpless?

On the 31st anniversary of the Roe vs. Wade decision that legalized abortion in America, let us remember all of the innocent children that have been killed as a result of this law. Let us pray for all of the mothers who have been mislead to believe that that little child growing in them who moves and cries and dreams is only a “lump of tissue” or a “fetus.” Let us pray for all the men who have ever wanted the baby that the mother of their child aborted. Let us pray for the men who have ever pushed the mother of their child to have an abortion. Let us pray for all people in our society that they may realize the evils of abortion, that they may begin to work for life, and let us pray for the continuation of the pro-life movement which will some day end the horrors that our society currently enacts on its own children.

Hmm... is it possible?

My frequent saying when I'm frustrated with the opposite sex is "STUPID BOYS!" I have come to the conclusion today that it is QUITE possible that they are really perhaps NOT stupid at all... I just feel that they act stupidly towards me. The follow up thought to that one is then "Perhaps I am doing something wrong or maybe I'm the stupid one."... but that couldn't really be the case, could it? :)

I guess what I'm saying is that you stupid boys aren't really stupid. You're just not acting towards me or my friends in the way that would make me most happy. But then... who am I to expect such treatment anyways?

So you should go about your stupid ways, saying your stupid things, flirting like stupid idiots and being your stupid stupid selves because you're really not doing anything out of the ordinary except causing much confusion and unhappiness in our lives.

Comments

Hey kids! I switched to a different commenting system cuz the one I was using was being very stupid. I'm sorry that we've lost the fun smileys, but maybe if they get their stuff together I'll go back to my old system. NOW START COMMENTING!!! :)
