ALIENS, GHOSTS, REINCARNATION.

I just don't understand some people! Some people have loads more faith than I do. They believe in Aliens, Ghosts, and even Angels, yet they have trouble believing in the devil or demons. I don't get it.

From what the Bible says, the devil and God have been at war since the beginning. There was a third of the angels that separated from God and went their own way. These are what we call fallen angels. The Bible says that the fallen angels mated with the human women and some of their offspring were giants. The earth was so filled with these demon children that God had to literally destroy the earth except for a few. Even after he destroyed everyone, a few continued to mate and have giant children because the Bible tells us there were giants after the flood as well.

To me, these fallen angels and the demon children answer to the whole issue of Mythology. The Greeks and Romans saw these fallen angels as ‘gods’ that came from the sky and mated with human women and had offspring.

When these demon children die, their body dies but their spirits live on as they are the spirits from the fallen angels. They are all evil spirits in the sense that they are the progeny of fallen angels, but that doesn’t mean they always do evil things. Some will give prophecies, healing advice in trances or help a physic find a missing person or other seemingly good things. The fact that they are not 100% accurate all the time, shows they are not from God.

These evil spirits are constantly looking for bodies to inhabit because they are kind of caught between two worlds. This answers to the issue of demon possession, ghosts and re-incarnation.

In demon possession, some people open themselves up to possession through various means. Drugs, alcohol, involvement with the occult, invitation etc. In re-incarnation the spirit attaches itself to someone either at birth or at some time later in the person’s life. It sticks with that person at all times through out the persons life. It knows everything about that person - even the most intimate details that no one else would know about. When that person dies, the spirit may remain in the place where the person lived - hence haunting and ghosts or it moves on to another person. If this new person is receptive, the spirit can feed it all the information of the former person down to details that no one else would ever know. This new person thinks they have been re-incarnated.

As for Aliens and UFO, they are really demons or fallen angels in disguise. People have been seeing UFO’s for centuries and yet this so called advanced civilization has always only been one step ahead of mankind. Why have they never made contact with us? Why are they only one step ahead of mankind? If they are from other planets, why not make contact? If they are trying to teach us something, why don’t they make it plainer? If they are just checking in on us, why not be less visible than they are? It is more like they are playing games with us and our minds. When a rash of sittings were spotted over the white house the air force sent out planes to fight these UFO. As soon as the air force was air bourne the UFO disappeared. Then when the air force came back to base, they appeared again. Why the cat and mouse games?

What about UFO abductions? Again I think these are spirits (of the spawn of the fallen angels mating) doing experiments on humans, trying to make a body that they can inhabit, and roam the earth in. Who knows, maybe they are trying to clone people so they can inhabit them with their spirits. Whatever the case, I still find it easier to believe that these are demons or fallen angels, rather than believing that someone travelled billions of miles through space, for centuries, and when they get here, they don’t want anyone to know about it.

I have also considered that maybe Big Foot, Yeti, chukaberra (sp??) Etc. may be the offspring as well and somehow they can appear and disappear at will in our dimension and another dimension. That’s why we never seem to be able to catch them or have any evidence of their existence.

These are my thoughts. Take them or leave them.

Have a Faith Filled Day.

MEMORIES

My grandparent grew up in the dirty thirties. With 18 kids to feed and clothe they were very poor and re-used everything they could. This became a lifelong habit with them. One winter they were living with us in the city. For breakfast we had oatmeal, which was our usual meal. There was quite a bit left over. Sometimes we would eat it the next day for breakfast or throw it out. Well this one day grandma made us our lunch. We came in from school to find she had taken the leftover oatmeal and made little patties out of them and fried them up for us. Needless to say, we all went to school hungry that day and our garbage had a weird meal when grandma wasn't looking.

***********************

One summer my mother decided my sister and I needed a haircut. My sister was only about 5 years old at the time and I was about 8. Mom took us to a hairdresser and the hairdresser began to give us the latest cut. A duck tail haircut. I was o.k. with my hair cut but my sister absolutely hated hers. She ended up wearing this woolen babushka for the rest of the summer. Even at that age she was fashion conscious. The worse part was that she would follow me around where ever I went and I had to explain to people why she was wearing this stupid babushka in the middle of summer. To this day, she very rarely cuts her hair.

************************

When I was quite young I was not the brightest colour in the box of crayons. One day I ended up falling out of my high chair. I was crying and when my dad came I told him what had happened. He said "How did you do that?" So I proceeded to show him by climbing back up, ready to throw myself down before he stopped me.

************************

He would buy bubble gum on his way home from work and hide it in his pockets. He used to hang his coat in our bathroom at the time. After supper, he would go into the bathroom to have his daily you know what and would come out and give me bubble gum. When I would ask him where he got it, he would say "I pooped it." I would believe him. Then I would beg him to go poop me some more bubble gum and he would say he didn't have to poop then and would wait till the next night.

***************************

I would believe everything my dad said. Like the time he had me believing I could pee music. I would go into the bathroom to pee and he would whip out his violin and play while I was in the bathroom. Then when I came out he had the violin hidden again. I actually believed I was peeing music.

*****************************

One of my most embarrassing moments happened after I gave birth to my last daughter. I was determined to breast feed as I hadn't with my first born. So I was breast feeding. I guess I hadn't prepared myself right for this as my nipples were extremely sore and cracking. The nurses said we could put tea bags on our breasts to help the pain. That morning I ordered tea for breakfast. After the tea bags had cooled I placed one tea bag on my left breast and one on my right breast. There I was laying naked from the waist up letting my boobs have their morning tea. I had the curtain drawn so no one could see. In walks the doctor and with a look of shock on his face he says "Oops pardon me." and backs out of the opening. Then when I got myself together he came back in. It was only later that it struck me that I could put the tea bags IN MY BRA to ease the pain. The look on the doctors face - Priceless. My embarrassment after I realized - extreme and funny.

Have a very memorable day.

THOUGHTS ON FORGETTING

I enjoy writing. I don't do it well but I still enjoy it. I'm not a great writer like some but I think I can get my thoughts on paper as well as the next guy. I have a head full of knowledge and no where to share it. That is sad. All these years of studying and learning and reading and living to get wiser and where does it get you? At an age where you begin to forget mostly everything. Old Age - is it a curse or blessing?

Young people look at us and think we've lost all our marbles because we are old now. They don't seem to realize that inside us is still a young vibrant person wanting to do all the things they do only our bodies wouldn't let us. Anyway, I don't really want to talk about old age today.

So what do I want to talk about? Hmmm, let me see. I just like to write whatever comes into my head. If I can catch it before I forget it, you might have something interesting to read. Talking of forgetting, my 25 year old daughter complains that she keeps forgetting things. It is so bad that she was talking about it with her boss the other day. She said something like, "I keep forgetting things. My memory is as bad as, what were we talking about again?" That's about it too for me.

This has literally happened to me. I go into the kitchen to get a drink. When I get there I think I wanted to go to the bathroom so I go and then go back to the living room and sit down in front of the t.v. Oops, I forgot the drink. Get up, back to the kitchen, humm, what was I there for. Straighten a few things up, back to the living room. Sit down. A few mins. pass and oops, forgot the drink. Back to the kitchen. get a snack. Back to the living room. I have done this up to four and five times before I finally get what I originally wanted. I'm tempted to wear a notepad or a tape recorder around my neck but I would probably forget to use them or put them on. It becomes kind of funny after awhile. Most of the time now, I wait for my husband to get up and get him to get it for me as his memory is still great.

I guess there are many types of forgetfulness. There is the kind my daughter has when she gets over stressed at something. Then there is the kind you get when you just have too many things going on at once. Then there is the old age type, the menopause type and then Alzheimers or as we like to call it part timers or old timers. Oh yeah, I forgot the teenager type. That's when you ask them to do something and they say "I forgot." They seem to get that kind for quite a few years and it seems to only happen in certain situations.

One time I called the doctor about something and when she asked for my phone number I went totally blank. I began crying and said "I can't remember." She said it was o.k. they would look it up but I was so upset about it. I must have been under a lot of stress that day and just went blank but I was so afraid I was getting Alzheimers and didn't even think of stress.

With all this forgetfulness, I forgot what I was originally going to write about. Next time.

Have an unforgettable day.

FAVORITE THINGS.

Today is a down day. Two of my blog buddies are gone so I don't have them to read anymore and that makes me sad. A friend of mine found out bad news about her husband. He is dying and there isn't much the doctor's can do about it. He has heart problems and his arteries are so blocked and damaged that they can't even do a by-pass on them. If that wasn't enough, they found out that his neice was killed this weekend in a car accident. Her emotions right now are a wreck and when she is upset - it upsets me as well. Please pray for Tilly and Pete when you think of it.

Mary Poppins says: "When I'm feeling sad, I simply remember my favorite things....and then I don't feel so bad." So maybe I will give it a try. These are some of my favorite things.

• Touching a baby all over - they are so soft.
• A soft rain on a partially sunny warm day where you can run through the puddles barefoot.
• The smell of home made bread baking.
• A really good t.v. show that stirs you to laugh out loud or cry uncontrollably.
• Getting a parcel in the mail that you didn't expect. (Especially if it is loaded with craft supplies)
• Spring time when the bugs haven't really started yet but the flowers are coming up.
• Hoar frost on everything when you first wake up in the morning.
• My girls calling or visiting.
• Unexpected company when my house is clean.
• Crafting, sewing, painting, stitching, etc.
• Watching fireworks in a bug free environment.
• The wind gently blowing through my hair.
• Standing under a shower and just enjoying the nice warm water.
• Getting a parcel in the mail that you didn't expect. (Especially if it is loaded with craft supplies)
• A special cup of tea in fancy china.
• A good mystery to solve.
• Doing things that no one knows about.(like sending flowers annonymously)
• Playing good humoured practical jokes on family members.
• Surprising people.
• A good in depth discussion.
• Having my mother make my favorite meal.
• Going for long rides through bush type country.
• Getting a parcel in the mail that you didn't expect. (Especially if it is loaded with craft supplies)
• Looking at the stars outside of the city on a clear night. Wow.
• Looking at a mountain. (we live in the prairies)
• Snuggling under nice warm blankets on a cold night.
• Walking hand in hand with my husband.
• Getting unexpected money from somewhere.
• Finding a great bargain.
• Going to do a discusting job only to find someone else has done it for you already.
• Losing weight unexpectedly.
• Did I mention getting a parcel in the mail that you didn't expect. (Especially if it is loaded with craft supplies)?

Well, those are some of my favorite things and they really don't cost a lot. Why is it that people think we need all these big fancy things to be happy. It is the little things in life that make us the happiest.

To all reading today, have a Supercallafragilisticexpealidotious day and list some of your favorite things.

HAVE A COKE FREE DAY.

Yesterday I went into the city. I live out of town so I don't get into the city very often. I leave early in the morning with my husband, get dropped off at either my mom's or my daughter's and then spend the day at their house. Quite often I meet my best friend for lunch when I am in as well. When I come home in the evenings I feel like I have been gone for about a week.

Yesterday I had a doctor's appointment. For a change I got good news. I found I lost 12 pounds without really even trying. (I need to get my weight down as my blood pressure is so high.) Last month I lost 3 and 1/2 pounds. I found out that just by not drinking any kind of pop any more, I am losing weight. The doctor said being hooked on pop can be worse than being hooked on smoking. Can you believe that? I can.

You see, I have been a coke addict for most of my life. Ever since I could afford pop, out I would run and buy it. First thing in the morning there is nothing like having a coke to cut through jungle mouth. Ummmm Coke. It's the refreshingest.

I used to drink regular coke till I started gaining weight. Then for some reason, I thought diet coke would help. It didn't. Then I thought caffeeine free would help. It didn't. But I kept drinking it anyway. I ended up with some disease called Peripheral Neuropothy. It is where all your peripheral nerves start to die. They never told me that coke could possible be causing it. They thought it was from Alcohol and I kept trying to tell the doctor's that I didn't drink alcohol but they didn't believe me. So now I have barely any feelings in my legs or feet. Since then I changed doctors.

The latest thing that finally got through to me was when I found out my kidneys are starting to go. Doctor said no pop, no coffee, no juice, nothing but water. I found that a little harsh to do all at once so I cut back. I drink only 2 cups of coffee in the morning, kool-aid made with artificial sweetner, loads of water and a coke on the weekends or when I go into the city. Sort of like a treat. I look forward to the weekends and my treat now and I'm losing all this weight to boot. Yipee!

One question the doctor asked me that made sense is "Have you ever seen anyone that drinks diet pop that has lost weight?" To tell you the truth, I haven't. Most people I know that drink alot of pop have gained weight. Pop has alot of salt in it and it causes you to retain water. If you must drink pop, then by all means drink loads of water to wash the salt out of your system. At the very least double the water for the pop intake.

I think that is all I will say on this blog. Have a coke free day.
