Welcome To Oklahoma

Yesterday I wrote a blog.
Some considered it provocative, Some considered it a Joke, and others Considered it to be simply what it was, a blog.
Because of these mixed Views I was rather disappointed in it.
As It was not perceived as I had Intended.

Reading back over it now I can indeed see That perhaps it was
a bit arrogant of me to think I had the right to ask people to stop
Bickering because It offended me. These are after all other peoples Feelings and emotions. Not just words in a blog. For this I apologize If Offence was taken.
But on a positive note there were two comments that Struck my mind, and that inspired today's blog.

Imagine a hot sunny day, the sun radiates hard on your shoulders, as you walk in a deep green field.
A short distance away you can see a small line of trees offering shelter from the raging heat.
You approach with the clear goal of cooling of in the shade. But as you get closer you see something amazing. Just behind the trees is a small wooden fence surrounding a White field of snow,
protected and encircled by trees.

Captivated by such a strange site you become mesmerized and find yourself sitting on the fence.
Clear as Crystal you see in your minds eye a vision.
Like a blank Page Surreally Framed by a summer parcel of land. You realise You have entered Someone else's concept of the day.
As you sit on the fence cooling yourself. You begin to see others looking at the Clear blanket of snow,
Its many crystals reflecting the sun, only now just light with no heat.
What will you do now. Be the first to leave a foot print across the Field, Make snowmen. Throw snow balls at other onlookers.
The choice is yours Have fun.

Getting lots of emails from men 20 - 30 years younger than I am.My view is depends on what you are looking for ladies. I have never planned to divorce my ex when we met. We plan forever. Think that.s where we make todays mistakes. We take it all for granted. INCLUDING LOVE.Somehow we don't show it any more..cause it.s forever we don.t have to handle hearts with care. We think. Ha wrong! I know some women with younger men 5 and 10 and 20 years! The shortest one is now 3 yrs in a very loving relationship. So they are both enjoying life and loving it all..So who cares? I myself, would prefer someone who won.t stay young forever ... I don't feel a small age difference should matter at all..Ha. Age? TG I am well preserved lol but honestly women have fun. Enjoy..SO WHAT ? WHO CARES? MEN enjoy us as there is no games.We know what we want, and we know how to enjoy what we have. We r sooo kool! And sexy!Wonder what u men and women think?

When Davy Liu left behind a six-figure salary and a job most animators could only dream about, it was only just the beginning.

For the former Disney animator who worked on such classic films as “The Lion King,” “Beauty and the Beast,” “Aladdin” and “Mulan,” one mission stood above the rest—fulfilling God’s will for his life.

In an interview with The Gospel Herald, Liu shared about his new, God-given dreams, which were no longer centered on winning an Oscar, but on doing the Kingdom’s work, despite financial obstacles and family disapproval.

“Fulfilling the will of God is more important than earning worldly wealth because the treasures on earth are temporary, but the treasures stored in heaven are for an eternity,” Liu stated.

Having worked in Hollywood for over a decade ever since he was 19, the talented artist revealed why he chose to abandon such an illustrious and highly coveted job, during what appeared to be the very pinnacle of his career.

“ asked God in my prayer and God told me that it is because good artists have given their best to the world.”

Desiring to offer his best to God instead, Liu decided to quit his job and dedicate himself to producing inspiring, character-based animated stories of faith.

“I hope to inspire young souls to experience life through faith,” he explained in a statement. “There is more to life than meets the eye.”

At 31, Liu founded Kendu Films, a unique media company dedicated to producing inspiring stories of faith. Adopted from Philippians 4:13, which states, “I can do everything through Him who gives me strength,” he created the name “Kendu,” which is pronounced like “can do.”

The Taiwan-born animator, with inspiration from “The Lion King” and personal devotions spent in Scripture, developed the idea to create a series of Bible-themed animations, with each story depicting a Bible story from the perspective of an animal.

Although some of his stories have been published as children’s books, the Herald explains that Liu actually produced the animations for adults.

“The truth is that grown-ups really enjoy watching animations—little children do not understand the hidden message. The recent box-office hits such as ‘Toy Story’ and ‘Up’ produced by Pixar all have very touching messages.”

“Most people have misconceptions of Jesus and don’t understand the culture from within, let alone, understand the Bible,” he added. By watching the Bible stories in theaters, Liu hopes that audiences everywhere will be able to relate to the characters and experience the power of God.

With no regrets about giving up his Hollywood career, having also worked with George Lucas, the Warner Brothers Animation, and other notable corporations, Liu finds every day joyful.

“Even though I may die tomorrow, I won’t regret it. Because every day of my life is living in God’s will. In face of the life in eternity, the present life is only a short-lived hundred years. I hope to use my talents to glorify God and to store up treasures in heaven.”

He continued, “Before God, I’ve prayed to willingly dedicate myself at the time when I’m most youthful and healthy to do God’s work. God deserves the best. I don’t want to wait until retirement at age 65 before doing all this, for I want to give the best to God.”

Once a boy who felt worthless, Liu, now a successful animator, encourages everyone to find what God has commissioned for them and live out a life of eternal value, the Herald reported.

“I once thought that I was a worthless marble, but God allowed me to know that in His eyes I am a sparkling diamond.”

I'm not myself these days...working too hard and not getting enough sleep...and that greatly affect my libido

Busy at work here and just accidentally voided a big order that took a lot of effort to process and set up for shipment. Have to do it all over again and I'm not going to do it right now Also, I sent documents to the wrong person, luckily it's not something that could put anyone in jeopardy

Today, I scolded my son for watching stupid youtube videos posted on FB. I told my kid to "stop wasting time on stupid BLOGS!" that made me feel guilty.

Days ago, I picked fight with the jerk, complaining of not seeing him for 6 long months...I completely forgot he was here last month that made him wonder if he's that forgettable and a while ago, I told him to get at least 12 hours sleep to delay his dementia

They said sex can fix anything...you agree?

Hi,

I have problem. There is someone keeps declare his love to me already several times. I already explained to him that I can't love him or at least I feel nothing for him other than a friend. This happened long time ago before I met my crocodile, for the whole 3 years when I was with my crocodile he stopped talking about his love to me but now he continue trouble me with that. I told him, I can't love him doesn't mean he is not good but it is because I have a broken heart. I still feel very hurt about love so please don't talk about it to me for any reason. But if he doesn't mind then we can continue be friends.

Since then to now, he keeps asking me going out with him and keeps being so nice to me. I rejected all.

If listing conditions such as handsome, working hard, care for family, has money, then, he is qualified for all of those.

From my heart, I do appreciate that he was and is so nice to me, BUT, perhaps I have too big love for my crocodile that I think in this life I can't love anyone else ever. Moreover, from the beginning I really have no feeling for him other than just a friend. I told him that with his situation, it's quite easy for him to find someone else to be with, why have to be me?! After I said that, he cried! MY GOD! I don't know what to do...

He said, for years he already tried to date many girls but his feeling is still for me!!

Anyone know how to reject him but don't make him feeling hurt?

I'm talking about real life, not cyber world. Thanks.

For those that have been with me for the past year i want to thank you all
This afternoon,i spent in emergency the cancer i had in my lungs
is still gone, only to be replaced with Brain Cancer, with a short time i have i wanted to thank you all, so many of you i wanted to meet in person.
Dont know what else to say, i wish you all a very good happy life

take care

Silent night, holy night, mary's boy child or hark the herald angels are among the christmas carols which have become a part of our existence since our childhood. Almost all of us play them on the christmas irrespective of our religion. We all have waited with bated breath for the santa claus during our childhood to visit and bring gifts for us. We may have grown big but still the nostalgia remains the same. We still bask in the nostalgia of church bell ringing or standing in the long queue outside any confectionery shop waiting to purchase the special christmas cakes. Many of us tune to radio stations to hear the midnight mass. Imagine all this comes to you in one place on this christmas. Well, this is exactly the idea behind organizing the kolkata christmas festival ( dec 20 - 22 ), an initiative taken by the bengal government.



Highlights of the event :

1. Carol singing

The opening of the festival will be followed by a carol singing session in which several churches will take part. Leading christian organizations including the methodist Church of north India, catholic churches, The seventh day adventist church and the church of north India will be taking part in the festivities.


2. Food and music carnival

The biggest attraction will be on the second day when a part of park street will be shut down for a food and music carnival. Traffic movement will be restricted for four hours between 1 pm and 5 pm to make way for a carnival. As many as twenty five food stalls representing communities like anglo-Indian, goan, chinese, bengali, malayali, nepali and parsi will be set up. Stalls will sell christmas goodies, cakes and christmas decorations also will be there. Public christmas carols will be sung by different church choirs.

3. Music concert

A music concert featuring usha uthup, bhoomi, hip pocket with rila banerjee, the saturday night blues band and orient express will be performing.

4. Other attractions

Children will be dressing up to pose with father christmas for photographs. Underprivileged children of the neighborhood will be given gifts.
