BALANCE

LOVE, WORK, PLAY, PEOPLE, MAINTAINENCE, SPIRIT, PRAYER, MEDITATION... Why do we get off balance so easily? Is it so difficult to juggle and balance everything? Or is there one thing that can be off balance and just throw all the others off as well? Is there one think that we can maintain, concentrate on, nurture, and then all the other things fall perfectly into balance as a result? I think so. Why then is it still so difficult? I'll tell you why, because that one thing that can make everything else easy.... is the one thing that the adversary attacks most. THAT IS OUR FAITH/CONNECTION WITH GOD. If the adversary can weaken our faith, and influence us to lose contact with God, then everything else crumbles too. If we lose faith that God will really help us, or that we don't feel worthey of his help, we become in despair. And its just downhill from there, unless we can shake ourselves out of it, out of the thick, dark, hopelessness, and REMEMBER WHO WE ARE, and humble ourselves, because we know that we need God, we need Jesus, They do love us, we are going to be ok, and the future is bright, and we do have faith. We can have BALANCE because we have faith in God, and he knows our hearts, desires, pains, joys... and he is aware, he is God. Alpha and Omega. And we depend on him, he is more than capable, he is loving. Where are our hearts? Are they turned to Him? Are we looking to the one fixed Being who can organize and balance our lives? I hope that never again will i lose sight of Him, or lose faith, because He is the one stationery and guiding force in my life.... and will always be.

O-BA-MA O-BA-MA

I have to say that I was slightly impressed with President Obama's Inagural speech. I liked how he encouraged us to serve our neighbor, and emphasized the desire for world peace (in so many words or less). Thats about all I was impressed with. ALTHOUGH, I did feel like it was more emphasis on the "party" and the "celebrating" that Obama is president because he's black and that means there's no more racisim in the world, rather than respecting a man who is humble and realizes the sacredness of this new responsability, and is honored just to serve and seeks no glory... seeks no party... seeks no recognition... but only seeks to do the will of God... And that man just left the office of President.

I HOPE FOR THE BEST

How Much Is That Doggy In The Window?

This is OSAKA. He's my son. And yes it was love at first sight. Why can't meeting a man be this perfect?? When I saw him in the window, he looked sweet and well-behaved.... and well, he turned out to be exactly that, except that he's currently learning how to not bite people... my sweet baby. He is a scorpio (nov.15), has major skills... much like a cat. Sometimes he thinks he's a cat. He is pretty much a super hero... has been known to break off of chains, run through electric fences, and intimidate dogs that could eat him for a snack. I know he's meant to be mine because of the many times he's escaped and has returned to me. I love him. He's a little light in my life.
