THE ONLY ONE WHO WAS PERFECT WAS NAILED TO A CROSS.
When I say, “I am a Christian”
I’m not shouting, “I’ve been saved!”
I’m whispering, “I get lost sometimes
That’s why I chose this way”
When I say, “I am a Christian”
I don’t speak with human pride
I’m confessing that I stumble –
needing God to be my guide
When I say, “I am a Christian”
I’m not trying to be strong
I’m professing that I’m weak
and pray for strength to carry on
When I say, “I am a Christian”
I’m not bragging of success
I’m admitting that I’ve failed
and cannot ever pay the debt
When I say, “I am a Christian”
I don’t think I know it all
I submit to my confusion
asking humbly to be taught
When I say, “I am a Christian”
I’m not claiming to be perfect
My flaws are far too visible
but God believes I’m worth it
When I say, “I am a Christian”
I still feel the sting of pain
I have my share of heartache
which is why I seek God’s name
When I say, “I am a Christian”
I do not wish to judge
I have no authority
I only know I’m loved ...........He Jesus changed my life, in a big way!!!

A lost generation
Now as I type this, I imagine that is possibly an automated assumption that I am talking about the youth of today. Crikey I sound old! I am not..
But here comes the point of my blog. It is actually about a generation I was taught to respect. But I am currently reconsidering this. The reason why is this. We're very quick to take to task the younger generation for respecting our elders. But what do we do with the elder generation that talk so disrespectfully? Because they exist too.
Sure they got this far in life to have some fun. I often watched my Nan do this. I do believe no matter our age. We all need some childish fun in our lives. Be it dressing up as your local police officer at a fancy dress party or I and one of my friends imagine boy racing each other in our wheelchairs terrorising the staff with our antics. (We have discussed this lol)
I am talking about language and how we talk to each other. Now I am no saint here if someone has way crossed that line with me they're going to know about it. I am in the middle of both young and old. But in general I really do see the language and disrespect given to people they haven't met before, maybe briefly have encountered. Be it offline or online in the forums and blogs.
Upon this ramble I have a few questions as well.
Was this how you were raised? To respect a generation who have lived life, more than likely a different kind of life. But still taught that in a society we respect our elders?
Do we now forget to do this simply because of a select few and change it for the future generations where people are respected on their own merit?
Should we allow the disrespect to happen to us or to the generation of elders?
What are we teaching the younger generations?
Just a random thought that has passed my mind often lately and I would be interested to know your views on this.
Off to do the slave thing. Will check back in later.

The Word of God: Evidence that Scripture is Divine...............
First, I believe the Bible is the Word of God because of its scientific accuracy. The Truth of the Word of God tells us that God “hangeth the earth upon nothing” (Job 26:7). How did Job know that the earth hung in space before the age of modern astronomy and space travel? The Holy Spirit told him. The scientists of Isaiah’s day didn’t know the topography of the earth, but Isaiah said, “It is that sitteth upon the circle of the earth” (Isaiah 40:22). The word for “circle” here means a globe or sphere. How did Isaiah know that God says upon the circle of the earth? By divine inspiration.
Secondly, the Bible is affirmed through historical accuracy. Do you remember the story about the handwriting on the wall that is found in the fifth chapter of Daniel? Belshazzar hosted a feast with a thousand of his lords and ladies. Suddenly, a gruesome hand appeared out of nowhere and began to write on a wall. The king was disturbed and asked for someone to interpret the writing. Daniel was found and gave the interpretation. After the interpretation, “Then commanded Belshazzar, and they clothed Daniel with scarlet, and put a chain of gold about his neck, and made a proclamation concerning him, that he should be the third ruler in the kingdom.” (Daniel 5:29). Basing their opinion on Babylonian records, the historians claim this never happened. According to the records, the last king of Babylon was not Belshazzar, but a man named Nabonidas. And so, they said, the Bible is in error. There wasn’t a record of a king named Belshazzar. Well, the spades of archeologists continued to do their work. In 1853, an inscription was found on a cornerstone of a temple built by Nabonidas, to the god Ur, which read: “May I, Nabonidas, king of Babylon, not sin against thee. And may reverence for thee dwell in the heart of Belshazzar, my first-born favorite son.” From other inscriptions, it was learned that Belshazzar and Nabonidas were co-regents. Nabonidas traveled while Belshazzar stayed home to run the kingdom. Now that we know that Belshazzar and Nabonidas were co-regents, it makes sense that Belshazzar would say that Daniel would be the third ruler. What a marvelous nugget of truth tucked away in the Word of God!
Third, from Genesis to Revelation, the Bible reads as one book. And there is incredible unity to the Bible. The Bible is one book, and yet it is made up of 66 books, was written by at least 40 different authors over a period of about 1600 years, in 13 different countries and on three different continents. It was written in at least three different languages by people in all professions. The Bible forms one beautiful temple of truth that does not contradict itself theologically, morally, ethically, doctrinally, scientifically, historically, or in any other way.
Fourth, did you know the Bible is the only book in the world that has accurate prophecy? When you read the prophecies of the Bible, you simply have to stand back in awe. There are over 300 precise prophecies that deal with the Lord Jesus Christ in the Old Testament that are fulfilled in the New Testament. To say that these are fulfilled by chance is an astronomical impossibility.
Finally, the Bible is not a book of the month, but the Book of the ages. First Peter 1:25 says: “But the word of the Lord endureth for ever. And this is the Word which by the gospel is preached unto you.” No book has ever had as much opposition as the Bible. Men have laughed at it, scorned it, burned it, ridiculed it, and made laws against it. But the Word of God has survived. And it is applicable today as much as it was yesterday and will be tomorrow.
Too young girlfriends sometimes look too odd
I am still speculating over a situation that happened last weekend, of how things might get odd sometimes depending on the situation.
We were invited to a birthday party of a kid of our friends. There were not many guests invited just close family & friends. So it happened that mother of our friend came to visit them from overseas and that his father who divorced his mother long ago was also there. Then the second father's wife who our friends stay with very close and who helps them a lot was also there. It would be all okay if that was all fathers former women at that party, because the two sort of found common ground for conversation (they are of about same age) and maybe because neither of them felt disadvantaged in front of the other ( he divorced two of them).
But no... he did not come alone, he took his new girlfriend with him, who is somewhat 20ish, somewhat 30-40 years younger!
She is asian, that made me thinking that I might be wrong about the age, but as she is a uni student means I should be about right.
She looked and felt very lonely in that company, because after realising how weird he looked, the 'father' left her on her own too.
I tried to keep her company, because honestly I hate when someone is being left out like that, so we spent almost all evening together...
Talking with her was not bad at all, she's smart, very determined, and what is the most important she is absolutely honest with the 'father' about her feelings towards him - which is pure business relationship - living with him while studying in uni ( and him paying for it).
I understand that is not really someone else's business, and that we should not judge the age difference as we cannot know 100% what is happening there etc... but when people themselves make you a part of it, it's really hard not to.
As to me the only thing of how to make it all better was not to bring his new girlfriend to the party...

Deleting my profiles on dating apps and applying for a new job
Yesterday, I deleted all the dating apps that I had on my phone, and cancelled the subscriptions. It's a money pit anyway, and I didn't really get any messages from people I matched with. One of the apps is set up, so the woman is the first to write. After 24 hours of no messages, the match expires.
I was on that app for quite a few months. I think for about a year. During that time, I had matched with five people, but no messages came after the match was mutual. Finally, I had had enough and cancelled the subscription, deleted my profile and the app itself from my phone.
The other one was a no match bonanza as well, so I threw in the towel and cancelled the subscription, deleted my profile and deleted the app as well.
I now only have two dating profiles. One on Facebook dating and this. I use this profile for the blogs, so technically it doesn't count. Will I be back on those apps again? No. Too much time and money wasted.
_______
Today, I found a job posting for a warehouse job at a company that's literally in nerd heaven. They are looking for someone who has warehouse experience, and is familiar with picking and packing orders - which fits me well. Deadline for applications is tomorrow, so I have sent an application today. Hopefully I will hear back from them soon. If not, I'm just going to continue working where I currently work.
Fingers crossed.

Another Public Apology
Hello all. I’m sorry for being such an a**hole lately. I didn’t think I was capable of being an a** but someone here said yes you’re being an a** so I apologize. I would blame how my life is going at the moment but that isn’t a good excuse. There’s no reason for me to flip out at anyone here. You all are just voicing your opinion. I’m sorry. I was going to delete my profile but that’s not very mature either. I would be doing it for the wrong reasons. I only want to delete it if I’ve met someone. I want to do what Jack Dawson said in Titanic, 1997 and just learn to take life as it comes at me. That’s very sound advice in my opinion. Omg I love that advice! I did delete some blogs that I thought were “assholy” blogs. Lol. So if you commented on them I’m sorry your comment was deleted automatically. I know commenting takes time and effort. Thank you for doing so nevertheless and for putting up with me.
Here’s to more positive blogging in the future with you all.

Perfect gifts – edited from week-to-go to Got one! last comments
There was a joke suggestion on FB re the perfect Christmas gift for writers so naturally I re-posted it on the spot but it got me thinking. Perfect gifts cost the giver nothing but time and a bit of thought, and delight the receiver.
What else qualifies as a perfect gift? A bunch of wild flowers is the only other one I can think of. Nice but a bit – boring. There have to be other things in this crass commercial world which have no cash price yet are priceless. When we were kids, hell, easy – parents finding time to play a game of our choosing with us was the best gift of all.
Tough to work out what someone else would like. Perhaps there’s something real and achievable you’d really prefer to a pair of socks or another woolly or silky scarf for your collection. If you could share, that’ll give us all ideas
And yeah the grownup version of ‘finding time to play with us’ would go down well but not all of us have someone to oblige
Off to school, where a good rating from a student means a bonus for me, so I’m sorted with my wish for today . . .
