Some Thoughts...

2009-06-17T17:19:00.000-07:00

I attended a purity conference a couple of months ago, and something about it struck me wrong and after thought and what other people have said, I figured out what struck me wrong…

Oh, and by-the-by, if you are easily offended, you don’t need to read any farther… my intent is not to offend, but I’m sure some of what I’m going to say, might.

The attitude at the conference and even a lot of Christian Home Schoolers – of which, I am one- is ‘If God didn’t want me married, He wouldn’t have given me the desire (to get married).’ And to tell you the truth, Hon, that’s foolishness; I realize that sounds harsh, and it kind of is, but by having the attitude ‘if God didn’t want me married, He wouldn’t have given me the desire’, you are making demands of God. You are saying “Well, you made me this way, why haven’t you given me what I want!” That is not good mind-set to have.
I believe that God has hardwired the desire to be married in to most, if not all, of us. We have a need for relationships, we are social creatures, we were meant to be around other people; it’s okay to want that relationship, there comes a point in your life, where the relationships that you have with your parents, your siblings, and even just friends are not as satisfying as they once were. Again, that is okay, but you cannot go making demands of God, it doesn’t work out well.
I think that one of the reasons God gave us the ‘Single Time’ is so that we can learn that He is sufficient; He will supply all of your needs, physical, spiritual, and whatever else you need. (oh, and I do not think that I have this down pat, I’m not trying to take a better-than- you stance on this, God is constantly smackin’ me upside the head going ‘you need to listen!’)
We were created to bring glory to God, and being single, we are in a great position to do just that. We have minimal responsibilities, and minimal expenses, and so… on the off –or maybe not so off- chance that we get called to the lower corner of Zimbabwe, it’s much easier to up and move to Southern Zimbabwe if you are single.
What I’m trying say, is don’t put your life on hold for some guy that is not even here! You make preparations for the storm, but you don’t get in the cellar till you hear the tornado sirens. (Can you tell I live in the Midwest?) By all means pray for your possible future husband, keep your self pure, learn how to be a good wife… but again don’t sit in the ‘castle’ and wait. Half the time, Prince Charming has to do some grunt work to find the Princess. Now don’t go crazy, don’t make the Prince rescue you, don’t purposely grieve your Father in heaven, and don’t grieve your parents, none of those things are good to do.
Maybe God doesn’t have a husband for you or me, it can be alright, God does have something better for us. It certainly won’t be easy, but nothing this side of eternity is. I can tell you this if don’t expect something and get it, it is so much better to be surprised than to expect something and to be heartbroken when it doesn’t happen. Trust me I know what it feels like. Marriage isn’t the end all, who knows… maybe being single is just the beginning!
Thank you for your patience, and reading through my rambling and ranting.

TTFN,
Bwasb

Funny Thing

2009-05-02T16:06:00.000-07:00

I work at a hotel doing conventions, banquets ect. Well the other day we had this group and while I’m cleaning one of the rooms and this lady comes up and asks where she can find 'Windsor I-Vee'. Not Windsor IV but 'I-Vee'... sooo... I tell her where to find it. Then a little while later a couple of folks asked me what 'Vee iii' was. And I told them. What makes this story funny is that this was a Teacher's conference. Science teachers...is anyone else weirded out by that?

In other news, I found this on LFGcomic.com

Earth Day...

2009-04-22T11:44:00.001-07:00

Today is Earth Day. A celebration of Mother Earth and all she has provided us with.
So in honour of Mother Earth and her providence... turn on all the lights in your home and drive your gasoline powered car, and thank God, the Creator of the universe, and Savior of man, for all of His providence.

Fun Fact About Earth Day: One of the founding members was a man named Ira Einhorn. You can read all about how he killed his girlfriend in a rage by following this link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ira_Einhorn

But, Leggyloser has brought to my attention that I'll not make any snarky comments. Happy San Jacinto day!!! And as Leggy also said... we should start a count of Texas holidays that got started by beating the Mexican army like a rented mule. Hehehehehehe...

San Jacinto, Texas, April 21, 1836

Here, where the land meets the sea. Gen Sam Houston’s Army of 783 men has defeated and put to rout Mexico’s Gen. Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna and his military force of about 1,200 men.
Two Texans were killed and about 30 wounded. Mexican loses were heavy— 630 dead and 700 prisoners.

Houston had 2 horses shot from under him and a rifle ball hit his foot. Hmmm..He's vying for most horses shot out from under him

PANCAKES!!!!!

2009-01-09T15:09:00.000-08:00

Mmmmmm, pancakes.

You Are Chocolate Chip Pancakes

You prefer sweet and rich foods.

You shy away from anything that's overly bland or unnaturally fat free.

It's not likely that someone would find low fat cheese or sugar free cookies in your kitchen.

Instead, someone might find a pan of brownies baking in the oven or warm popcorn covered in real butter.

What Kind of Pancakes Are You?

Stopping By Woods On A Snowy Evening

Whose woods these are I think I know.
His house is in the village, though;
He will not see me stopping here
To watch his woods fill up with snow.

My little horse must think it's queer
To stop without a farmhouse near
Between the woods and frozen lake
The darkest evening of the year.

He gives his harness bells a shake
To ask if there's some mistake.
The only other sound's the sweep
Of easy wind and downy flake.

The woods are lovely, dark, and deep,
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep.

Falling

2008-10-14T19:03:00.000-07:00

Raindrops are drumming mournfully on the windows as I sit here, wrapped in a thick, warm sweater, writing. If I didn’t have other things to do I’d go hole up in the kitchen and bake for the rest of the day. Sigh… I’ll just do the next best thing; I’ll light a Master’s Hand Candle Co candle, Harvest, one of my favorites. I love the spicy tones of the candle. It reminds me of falling leaves and autumn.

Autumn is one of my favorite seasons; it’s a time of change, a time to look at the bounty of the passing year. It is a time to curl up on the couch with a really good book and a cup of mocha. Raking up leaves and watching little kids jump into the pile, squealing in delight as the make the leaves fall a second time. Some families like mine do a lot of cooking and baking during the autumn and winter months. Pies that fill the house with the spicy scents of cinnamon and cloves, the warmth of gooey apples, and the familiar scent of pumpkins that make you think of whipped cream. Or the cookies that we bake, snappy gingerbread, fresh lemon triangles, and to kill for chocolate crinkles.
Autumn gives us a chance to be in the kitchen for long periods that we never quite get in the summer time. Some of the best conversations I’ve had with my mom have been in the kitchen. And no, we’re not Italian. While the days get shorter you seem to have more time for family time, reading, watching movies. I thank God that he gave times of change; I think he knew how boring things would be without seasons of change.

A random poem I like.
A poem by Robert Frost:

October
O hushed October morning mild,
Thy leaves have ripened to the fall;
To-morrow's wind, if it be wild,
Should waste them all.
The crows above the forest call;
To-morrow they may form and go.
O hushed October morning mild,
Begin the hours of this day slow,

Make the day seem to us less brief.
Hearts not averse to being beguiled,
Beguile us in the way you know;
Release one leaf at break of day;
At noon release another leaf;
One from our trees, one far away;
Retard the sun with gentle mist;
Enchant the land with amethyst.
Slow, slow!
For the grapes' sake, if they were all,
Whose leaves already are burnt with frost,
Whose clustered fruit must else be lost--
For the grapes' sake along the wall.

I Think Obama Should Quit Now.

2008-08-29T10:27:00.000-07:00

Ladies and Gentlemen, I'd like to introduce to you Mrs. Sarah Palin, the next Vice President of the United States!

That was brilliant on McCain's part, can you imagine Hillry's reaction this morning? I mean, shunned by her own party, and then for the GOP to swoop in and grab that running point? As Rush Limbaugh said: 'Ousted by the other woman...again.'
Mrs. Palin has soooooo much going for her. She is a hunter and life member of the NRA, she is pro-life, she has a child with Down's syndrome, she has a son being deployed to Iraq soon. She also has been a governor for two years; and in case anyone was wondering why that is significant, Obama, has only had 143 days on the senate, so the more he and his party complain about her 'lack experience', the more foolish they look.

I think I'll chuckle about this ALL day!

From the Kitchen of BWASB

2008-08-06T15:00:00.000-07:00

Today was a baking day, I have made 6 loaves of banana bread and I tried and modified this recipe:
Pumpkin Things (cookies)
1c brown sugar
1c white sugar
1c butter
2ish cups straight canned pumpkin
2tsp vanilla
2c white flour
1½c noatmeal
½ c oats
2tsp b.powder
2tsp b.soda
At least 2½ tsp cinnamon
1/8ish tsp nutmeg and cloves (to taste)
½ tsp salt

Cream sugar, butter and vanilla. Add pumpkin and salt. Beat well. Add the dry ingredients. Beat well. If the dough is dry add 1-2tsp of milk. If you have a Pampered Chef cookie dough scoop thing, use that, otherwise just use spoons.
Drop them on to an ungreased cookie sheet and bake them at 375 for about 12 minutes. They should be two shades of golden brown darker than the top of the cookie. Let them sit on the cookie sheet for one or two minutes before putting them on the cooling rack. Enjoy!

Okay, I'm sure there are those of you who think that 'noatmael' is a typo. It is not. You take 2c oats and 1/2c of ground flax seed, toss it in a blender with a 1/2 cup of nuts-I used hazelnuts, pecans, and walnuts- then you grind them till the mix reaches the constancy of flour. Voila, noatmeal. I also took a tablespoon of noatmeal and three of water and zapped it for about a minute- or rather till it got gooey- added some sugar and it was quite tasty!

Alrighty then!

The no knock went just fine. The punk drug dealer had a huge pit bull.It tried to attack Pippin...it no longer has eyes. (shudder)
Then at my other job we had a wedding that dragged on, and on, and on...'till about one this morning. We wanted to go turn the lights on at about 11:30. They were to busy getting drunk. So we sat back in the the China,Glass,Silver (CGS) room and polished a ton of silverware, and folded a bunch on napkins. I didn't realise how MESSY drunk people are. When we finally got to go clean the room, there was dirnks spilled,pins bent and stuck into the table cloths, I won't bore with the rest. Well I feel much better now I've ranted. Thank you so much for reading this far. ;) Well I'm going to go eat, new post much latter. Oh, maybe I'll have some of my skirt done and pictures up!!

Well that was fun. Let's never do it again.

Well I was going to see Sweeny Todd, but after the review that Leggyloser gave it, I think I'll just keep my two hours, thank you very much!
I went and saw Iron Man. That was fun, lots of well timed explosions, sufficient snarky-ness and sarcasm. The only problem is when he (Stark) realizes that-O horror of horrors!- the weapons that he makes, actually kill people! Who'da tunkit?!? BUT other than that side step from logic it was fun. DO NOT go see this for the plot. Go see it for the explosions, rockin'awesome suit, or the robotic comic relief...think Gir, but less mouthy.

This poem was written by Maelstrom of Freerepublic.com

I Was Yours

Momma don’t cry, you didn’t want to hold me.
Momma you’ve got pride,
No cries from my cradle,
Momma you’re alive, why did you hate me?

You didn’t even try,
When the Doctor came to take me.
Momma oh why, didn’t you love me?

You didn’t see my eyes, my fingers, my toes,
You never even saw my cute little nose,
Momma I was your little baby...

Did you look to your tummy when I was
inside?Did you feel my kick, when I was
alive? Momma I loved you, didn’t you know?
I needed you Mommy, I needed to grow.

I needed your kisses; I needed your hugs,
I needed to feel, that I was loved.
You said it was your choice,that I must die,
That I wasn’t really, really alive...

You weren’t ready for me, but I had no
choice,you were my Mommy, I was yours.
-Maelstorm Of Freerepublic.com

I am very Pro-life. I bevlive that taking a life at any age is wrong.
We have sacrificed so many in the name of convenience.
Please don't abort your baby. Contact you local AAA pregnacy center, they can help you thruogh this without you having to resort to an abortion.

It has a beautiful rumble.
It has a t-top. Really neat to look up and see the sky.
Really needs a wash though.

Car, (Me Likey)

2007-09-26T19:40:00.000-07:00

I finally got my car( yay!). And 22 hours after I'd had it, it keeled on me(yargh!). So the mechanics(Thank you,Tom and Dan) had it for a week and now The Dark is running beautifully(yay again!). It does have an attitude but we are getting along fine. Although yesterday I come out of work and the thing is running. So we don't know if the car is possesed or if it has an automatic starter in. We think the latter is more likily. I will try to get some pics up soon.

If you happen to be a knitter would you please post some links to knitty-ish sites? I'm losing what is left of my mind for a project.
