Travis: Taylar, did you see the pig get killed?
Taylar: What pig?
Travis: Grandma said at the matanza that you guys were going to see a pig get killed.
Taylar: Oh yeah. By the time we got there they already killed it.
Hunter: EEEEWWWW, why would anyone ever want to kill a pig?!
Travis: You like bacon don't you?
Hunter: Yes.
Travis: Well, bacon comes from pigs.
Hunter: No it doesn't! Mom gets it from the store.


My job is done. He knows hot dogs, hamburger, and chicken come from the store also.

I believe

Ok, so there's this scientist guy who says that Jesus could have walked on a patch of ice instead of water. Possibly through "a rare combination of water and atmospheric conditions in the sea of Galilee, 2000 yrs. ago."


#1-its a THEORY meaning not fact!


#2-"a rare combination" means not exactly an everyday, concrete occurance, that could or could not have happened.


#3-He has no idea what the temperature was or which way the wind was blowing or if someone farted!

#4-He says he's received hateful e-mails since his article was published-that's a great way to witness and convince someone to believe in God!


I have faith in the Bible and it's truth, but I must admit when I first saw the headline I was irritated. If you call yourself a Christian and you know what you believe in and have faith in miracles why would you let some guy's theory ruffle your feathers?

Here's a thought: if you don't want people to pay attention to something-don't acknowledge it, picket, ban or otherwise put it in the spotlight!

I just think that we need a smarter approach to issues. Maybe we could point out that we have written, eye-witness accounts of the many amazing miracles and events in the Bible. Or that this is just one person's theory that may or may not have even occured, just like at that moment a pig could have flown across the sky, if a rare combination of events took place. Besides, even if there happened to be at just that moment in time, a rare atmospheric occurence, and there was a patch of ice in the middle of a lake, technically the Sea of Galilee is a lake, and it's nowhere near Antarctica, isn't that quite a miracle?

Awww...

I don't if it's the time change, or if I just feel like being grumpy. I woke up this morning, missing my hubby b/c he works nights, & I didn't want to get up, I didn't want to deal with my hair, or trying to find something that fits, I didn't want to send my boys to school, I didn't want to deal w/NM drivers @ commute time, I didn't want anyone to look at me, to talk to me, to call...

Anyway, on my way to lunch, traffic suddenly comes to a halt right in the middle of the road. I work in an industrial area, so there are a bunch of guys and their trucks and we are all trying to see what the hold up is. Finally we slowly get moving and there is a police car in the median with it's lights flashing, no cars, no people lying on the road, "What the sam hill is going on?"

Then I see it. A scruffy little black dog. Crossing the road. Looking all around like, "What's all the fuss about?" (insert head tilt) With all that's going on, it's nice to know people will still take time to stop for a puppy in the road. Awww...
