Ultimate Happiness

I was just thinking of a song I wrote a few years back. It's just a short imperfect little song, but God; who gave me the song, inspires me with this thought. Here's the first verse and chorus: "There's a man in a country far, far away; and he wonders if he'll even get a meal today. You may think he is the saddest man there could ever be, but he'll tell you, "Jesus Christ is all I'll ever need." Jesus satisfies my longing, how could I ask for more? I am just so thankful I'm the one whom He died for! Praise His name, praise His name." Like my dad was saying last night, it seems that a lot of times poor people (especially in other countries) that literally have nothing are among the nicest, most giving people in the world. While very rich people can be very stingy. I ask myself why. That is totally the opposite of what it should be, and it's just plain illogical. I heard a missionary story of a family that saved up for... a month or so, I think, just so they could give the missionary one meal. It's humbling, really. But to be honest, even after puzzling over this for a long time, I cannot figure out why this is how it is.

Contradiction

Do you ever feel a certain way and don't know why? I had been wondering why I enjoyed being around this one guy I very strongly dislike. I think I have just figured out the reason. It is because I love a good debate and challenging conversation, and sometimes it's nice to hear the other side of things and be with the other type people who believe oppositely for contrast and amusement. Maybe I'll be a lawyer when I grow up or something, I don't know. Yah I'm strange. But it teaches me a lot. (BTW, the main reason I don't like him is because he's always harshly putting innocent people down.) And a friend of mine has decided not to believe something ONLY because they love arguing about it with me. LOL (That really is what the person said to me!)

Bible Verses Of The Week

This whole chapter is good, so we will probably do more from it.

"For truly my words shall not be false: He that is perfect in knowledge is with thee. Behold, God is mighty, and despiseth not any: He is mighty in strength and wisdom. He preserveth not the life of the wicked: but giveth right to the poor." Job 36:4-6

True Beauty

It is high time for the world to stop judging people based on how they look. What matters is what's inside. I think a person is only truly beautiful if their face bears a genuine smile and on their face is plainly a glow of happiness. A lady is only beautiful if she has an air of politeness and humbleness about her. Attitude is everything. I mean really... if someone is a jerk, who cares if they have great hair or they are skinny or whatever? No one should want to be like them. I have a friend who is kind of cute, but not gorgeous, but people have said she is the prettiest person they know, because she has got to be just about the nicest girl on the planet. They are absolutely right. I heard about a reality show where there were all these models and they thought they were being judged on appearance, but what they didn't know is that they were really being judged on personality. I hear they didn't do well at all. And I saw a commercial that was about a true story where a high school or something had a beauty contest and there was this girl who had Down's Syndrome, and as you know people that have that look kind of different, but she was the winner of the contest! Do you know how happy that made me? The joy I had after seeing that? That is how we ALL need to be!

Bird-Brain

I just wanted to say that last night when I went out to close the door of the chicken coop, I discovered that one of the chickens had gotten a whole strip of fly paper stuck to her. LOL Poor crazy cheekun!

Superpowers?

Does cool and strange stuff ever happen that you can't explain? Like, thinking something is going to happen totally randomly, and then it does happen? Or just knowing someone is going to say something in particular, but you don't know why. Some people can tell what a person is really like just by looking at them. And me? Well, for whatever reason, when I'm not at church (or if I am at church but in a different room) the service doesn't go very well and everyone is all crazy and wrong. It's really weird. These are just a few of the things. Now, everyone knows superheros aren't real, but the only explanation for these strange things is superpowers. But I'm okay with that. ;D

Bible Verses Of The Week

This is something I've always wanted to do, and should have done a long time ago. All verses will be KJV. I'm going to try to find verses that are a little uncommon, if I can. This week's verses are Psalm 103:15-17

"As for man, his days are as grass: as a flower of the field, so he flourisheth. For the wind passeth over it, and it is gone; and the place thereof shall know it no more. But the mercy of the Lord is from everlasting to everlasting upon them that fear Him, and His righteousness to children's children."
