Eat @ MindSay

This woman wore a blue one days, like the morning the eastern sky and saw her graceful with a laugh:

"You have heard the name Tu-Feng?"

Car wars ah channel:

"Nine Jianpai head of the 'GU Jian-soul' that he personally come?"

Women's Road: "There are four recruited by."

Car War smiles: "Tu Lei Feng eat young and old, may I ask the girl, does it mean martial arts but also into the cemetery?"

Women's Battle Road to bus: "Hey! How do you not ask my name?"

Car War smiles:

"I like asking them, I can not call the girl had."

Women's Wen Yan, surprised: "You know my origin?"

Car War smiles: UGG 1777 Napoule

"Guess, but pretty close, warm girl, and why we entered the cemetery?"

Women's Lengle Leng, and then light smiles:

"You're a jerk!"

Car Battle Road:

"Girls! I must ask you, you came to know my family's relationship with Ray?"

Women's indifferent 1 smiles:

The "car son, there is no malicious Shier, it is best not to ask hole we go, there is also the guests from afar miles!"

I have cake.

I have a delicious cake.

I have a delicious mountain of cake.

Really, the thing looks like a designer said, "I'm thinking...volcano! In German Chocolate!"

It is SOOOO delicious.

It is also rather...large. To the point where I'm certain that my dorm was not the best one to bring it back to, because there are not enough people who live here to ensure that this will be consumed by the end of the week.

My dear Rachel ALSO has cake. She has the vanilla side of this. We half-seriously considered pranking Signscout with it, because the boy absolutely loves food. Really. Almost any girl has to take it for granted that he will love certain foods more than her. Any girl with a bit of intelligence on this one will put two and two together, and make a point of being able to make said foods. Signscout will be her willing slave.

Anyway, Rachel is quite possibly the epitome of kindness and responsibility. Everyone loves Rachel. And most of the RA's know that Signscout and I are buddies. So, we're reasonably certain that we could track down an RA who would allow either or both of us into his room for the purpose of tastefully arranging cake. Not making a mess - just making it look like he had a birthday party for seven penguins or something.

He would, of course, have to kill me. Rachel's still off-limits. The best friend can be cheerfully murdered at any time - unless it's someone else doing the murdering. It's a peculiar system. You destroy anyone who threatens the friend, because, y'know, that's what you do for your friends. You also have the constant and unspoken right to try to kill your best friend, because, well, you love 'em.

So. I have cake. And I don't care who eats it, as long as it is enjoyed and that right soon. If you wish, I have plates and forks. As of tomorrow, I will probably even have milk to go with it.

This is the sort of party invitation that would read, "I demand that you show up and eat my food!"

Addiction Starting... 

 

 

I refused going to my nana's today.

I'd gotten an e-mail back from Mary about my coursework. I needed to print out copies for her.

I planned to do that on the Monday morning before college.

 

I've spent the whole of today drinking Coca-Cola from the bottle and playing Resident Evil 4.

I ate boiled eggs and pasta for my lunch - taking bites during the loading screens and the FMV.

 

I did something stupid - WASTED THE FREE ROCKET LAUNCHER.

I was aiming it at this beasty thing in the underground and I MISSED.

 

HURRRRLOL...

 

 

I've gotten pretty far - I've rescued Ashley and cleared the village.

I fought the beasty parasite gadge and stole his fake eye.

I LOVE that FMV, I like seeing all the eye juice dripping down Leon's hand. :)

I should have put this in Friday's blog - but I couldn't be arsed.

I was hyper and bored at the same time, so I made myself a PC background.

 

(Bear in mind, it's had to be shrunk to a stupid size to fit on my blog.)

 

 

Unless you have mint eyes - and I do - you won't be able to read that writing. :)

 

"Ashley doubled over in agony, clutching his face, screaming as his eyes were harshly scorched by the brutal sting of the mustard that covered him."

 

"Ashley grimaced, wiping his face indignantly, he shook himself, thick globs of yellow slime falling from his shoulders and dribbling down his chest. Never again would he play roughly with bags of exploding custard."

 

The "Ashley" in question is not the Resident Evil 4 Ashley, or my little buddy Ashleigh - but rather my fictional guitarist from TDW, Ashley Darwin.

 

 

I have this as my background currently.

There has been a lot of talk in recent months at my church about food. There is even a new section in our weekly handout on nutrition. It typically is posotive and encouraging healthy eating habbits.

The reason for this is obvious to our congregation, Pastor is fighting against the cancer that has invaded his body. It is understandable.

 

I have had a phrase over and over in my heart and head... "The Common Faith".

I will start with this, O.T. said that if one could put a thousand to flight, then two could chase ten thousand; by the mouth of two or three witnesses every word shall be established; you shall not follow the people (just because everyone is doing it). N.T. says that if two agree concerning anything in heaven, it would be done on earth; disciples were sent out by twos, perhaps for the purpose of agreement, as well as safety. Memory fails at the moment to recall other examples, sorry.

 

The point is that in OT as well as NT, the rules still apply. The strength of faith is multiplied exponentially with the number of souls added. So, why do I hear preachers speak of a weak church? Why do I hear preachers and people so fearful of the stuff of this world? Why do we who call ourselves Christian submit to the fear of the laws and rules of this life? Yes, we are to submit to mans authority, because God Himself set up the order of government, but why do we fear? Sure, we should mind the food we eat... I will not purposely drink poison or handle snakes. But I believe that if the situation arose, I could do it and not be harmed, just as Daniel and the lions, or the four men in the furnace.

 

There is an entire culture based on eating healthy foods, reading labels before drinking a beverage, commercials on TV cautioning to eat certain things if you want specific results... And it invades the church.

 

Did not Jesus Himself say not to worry about what to eat or drink? He said that we could not make ourselves taller or keep our hair from going gray- you won't be stronger, you won't live longer.

 

Apostle Paul said several times that we should not be offended at what some eat and what others don't eat. He also cautioned that in the last days perilous times would come when people would order you not to eat certain foods. (He was not speaking of chemically formulated foods and beverages, like nutrition bars or energy drinks, or sodas.) It was created by God and is fit to be recieved, he said.

 

My point is not so much the food issue. Eat what you want to. Don't eat what you don't want to. But leaning on science and saying that eating this will make you better, and eating that will make you sick, detracts from the pure faith. That goes in many different directions as well.

The saying is "once an addict, always an addict". "Jailhouse Christian, he'll go right back to his old ways as soon as he gets out". They believe that people are beyond help, and that even God can't help with certain types of people.

But that is a lie that even the church at large has believed. And so, instead of the common faith being one of pure faith that trusts God for everything, we trust in our own ability to keep ourselves healthy, safe, secure. Perhaps it is because we don't believe our treasure is in heaven? Or perhaps we think "Thy kingdom come" means that I have to defend Gods kingdom and temple, but we do it in our strength.

We submit to policy rather than grace and faith that believes. We submit to dietary rules, rather than believe what Jesus said. We submit to fear and keep people out, because it could lead to bad publicity, and it could cause our insurance to drop us. It could cause the congregation to split... Let it split, if the reason is fear of torment and faithlessness toward Christ to do what He said He would do.

 

I get e-mails telling me not to eat certain foods, drink certain drinks... Forget the food and drink killing me. I work in construction. I drive on I85. I live on the West side. I don't own a gun for personal protection, because I don't want to kill someone, which is what I would do if someone broke into my home or hurt any of my family, indeed, I would empty the clip and reload.( And, I have wanted a weapon for a long time, but know myself too well... so I have little choice but to trust God to protect us.)

 

Stop spreading fear. Don't feed the doubt. When you want to send nutritional information, or some forward about criminal activity, don't send it to me. You can keep your fear-mongering to yourself. Maybe you should pray and ask the Lord if you should send that next fwd... specially if you say you are Christian.

And that goes for "green" as well. Sure, do your best to preserve the earth God formed, but we are not the savior of the planet. God will send fire down from Heaven and purify this place... Revelation says plagues will come, some of them are environmental disasters. But in the end, for those who believe, all is well. Even the martyrs have a special place at the Lords alter.

 

Stop spreading fear. Start spreading faith.
