Contamination!&Assumptions that effect our lives

I'm contaminated!!

Ahhh!!

Woke up this morning @ 5 in the morning because I started coughing pretty bad. Throat was hurting, eyes were burning, body aching!

Great....

But, I'm doing ok right now. I don't know if I had a fever or not, because when I woke I just took Motrin righttaway to get rid of 'em body aches. As my friend would say, "BLECK!"

Taking temperature right now.

Good news: I finished my Anatomy homework early this time!! YAY!

Bad news: If I truly do have the flu I can't go to A&P tomorrow anyways! RATS! And we're doing a lab. :((

Good news: I just finished yesterday, reading this book called Assumptions that effect our lives it's a must read.

The author compares early Greek, and Hebrew assumptions and then looks at the world we live in today's assumptions.

So, the Greeks didn't value life as the Hebrews did. The Hebrews thought all life had value. Or like: The Hebrews knew that education, government, and God go hand in hand. You can't seperate them. We see the consequences in America and the world today, of putting "boundaries" around God and His church. The consequences are: Abortion, Education without God, Deism, Atheisim, Evolution(ism..jk), relative thinking, and of course a nation that is being ruled by a government that doesn't claim "One nation under God" anymore!

We have to remember that God is God over heaven and earth. He is the God of the temporal, as well as the eternal. There are no "boundaries". Yes, the church shouldn't be leading the nation. However, the government need not do ANYTHING that goes AGAINST Scripture. Our whole nation stands on MAN and HIS STANDARDS. What will happen? Just like every other unsuccessful nation, we'll fall..very far and very hard. Unless we repent and America stands on God, and His Word again, then, only then will we be a victorious and prosperous nation UNDER GOD!

And there's my sermon for the day. (Jk)

PRAY FOR US! My Dad has had a high fever all day yesterday and now today. Pray that Mum doesn't get it. She said she's getting a sore throat.

Keep warm, wash your hands, and DO NOT COVER YOUR MOUTH WITH YOUR HAND! DO IT WITH YOUR ARM. Otherwise you still spread 'em germs! We don't need to get sick more then we already are.

Yours Truly,

~Elisabeth Darcy

Quotes

C. S. Lewis:

1~"Mercy, detached from justice, becomes unmerciful."

2~"The trouble about trying to make yourself stupider than you really are is that you very often succeed. "

3~"Relying on God has to begin all over again every day as if nothing had yet been done..."

4~"All that we call human history--money, poverty, ambition, war, prostitution, classes, empires, slavery--[is] the long terrible story of man trying to find something other than God which will make him happy. "

5~"Courage is not simply one of the virtues, but the form of every virtue at the testing point."

Chesterton:

1~"Courage is almost a contradiction in terms. It means a strong desire to live taking the form of a readiness to die. “He that will lose his life, the same shall save it,” is not a piece of mysticism for saints and heroes. It is a piece of everyday advice for sailors or mountaineers. It might be printed in an Alpine guide or a drill book. This paradox is the whole principle of courage; even of quite earthly or quite brutal courage. A man cut off by the sea may save his life if he will risk it on the precipice.

He can only get away from death by continually stepping within an inch of it. A soldier surrounded by enemies, if he is to cut his way out, needs to combine a strong desire for living with a strange carelessness about dying. He must not merely cling to life, for then he will be a coward, and will not escape. He must not merely wait for death, for then he will be a suicide, and will not escape. He must seek his life in a spirit of furious indifference to it; he must desire life like water and yet drink death like wine."

"What embitters the world is not excess of criticism, but an absence of self-criticism."

"The Christian ideal has not been tried and found wanting; it has been found difficult and left untried"

Charles Spurgeon:

1~"Thus there will be three effects of nearness to Jesus-humility, happiness, and holiness. May God give them to thee, Christian!"

The Avett Brothers (A Band):

1~"So you want to be in love like the movies
But in the movies they're not in love at all
And with a twinkle in their eyes
They're just saying their lines
So we can't be in love like the movies

Now in the movies they make it look so perfect
And in the background they're always playing the right song
And in the ending there's always a resolution
But real life is more than just two hours long

Well you can freeze frame any moment from a movie
Or run the whole damn thing backwards from reel to reel
But I don't see one single solitary light technician
Or one single camera in this moonlit field"
