Auld Lang Syne
What is it about New Years that makes us look backwards? Why are we always reminiscent? Why does it seem that every year we look to the past with longing, our days are filled with nostalgia?
What is it about the past that draws us, holds us, keeps us? Why are we afraid to move forward? Maybe we're not afraid, but we come to a place when we are paused in recollection. For a moment, time ceases, and we begin to revisit our past. All that we were, where we have been, our history comes before our eyes once again. And we remember... the past, the good old days, days gone by, auld lang syne.
What is it about Auld Lang Syne, or in our American language, Days Gone By (1)? What is it that draws us, holds us, keeps us? That we stop, and just for a moment, before the present pushes us on, with not a thought in the world but Auld Lang Syne?
And we remember...
The past... friendships, relationships, loves...
The past... foes, enemies, hates...
The past... accomplishments, victories, triumphs...
The past... frustrations, failures, defeats...
The past... gains, prosperities, comedies...
The past... losses, woes, tragedies...
And we remember...
Who we were. Or, possibly, who we are?
Perhaps it is our past that defines us. Perhaps it is our past that tells us who we are. Perhaps it is our history that shows us where we are going, by telling us where we came from.
Who can I be today, if I know not who I was yesterday? What will I ever become, if I forget what I once was?
This New Year, go ahead – pause for moment in time – and remember...
The past... who you were, where you've been, the people that have made you who you are today...
Remember all that God has done in your life, the divine leadership, the miracles wrought. Take a few moments as you float without time, to thank the Lord once again for all His many blessing in your past, many that you have seen, many that remain unknown.
But in your remembering, recall this supremely:
The God that brought you safe thus far
will lead you safely home.
We don't end here. This moment in time will soon melt, and we will be pummeling into 2010, with all the concerns, hopes, worries, fears, and joys. Our past doesn't end here, but leads us into the future. And the God that has brought us to this place will lead us victoriously through the years to come!
Pause... for just a moment... to remember... the past... and thank the Lord above... and then move on... to 2010... with new resolve to live triumphantly in the Lord Jesus Christ!
"He who calls you is faithful, who also will do it." (1 Thessalonians 5:24, NKJV)
Auld Lang Syne (Revised)
Listen: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CpvYoY4juLc
Should old remembrance be forgot,
Or what the Lord designed?
Should old remembrance be forgot,
and auld lang syne?
Chorus:
For auld lang syne, my friend,
For auld lang syne,
We'll thank the Lord once again,
For auld lang syne.
Many years ago, God's Son
Borne in a plan divine,
Came to earth to save the world
In auld lang syne.
There was a day some time ago,
in sin I did repine,
I repented, God called me His child
In auld lang syne.
I fought a battle in my heart
'till finally I resigned
And Christ became my Lord of All
In auld lang syne.
Through many trials we have come,
And o'er the grievous brine.
But God's been with us all the way
Through auld lang syne.
Great times have we enjoyed as friends
Since our journey we consigned.
But none so great as God's own Son
From auld lang syne.
1 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Auld_Lang_Syne) Read more about the original song and the modern English translation. The song isn't a Christian song, so I wrote the version you find above, as Christian, with an attempt to capture the original. As a side note, I realized that Auld Lang Syne is interchangeable with Amazing Grace (music and/or lyrics). Try it if you want :) (http://www.constitution.org/col/amazing_grace.htm for the lyrics.)

Give me my change!
"Change has come to America," cried the newly elected president.
The shout went forth faster than a missile rockets.
Months later, another cry came from a local resident.
As the old man reached down into his empty pockets,
"That may be true," said he.
"But why didn't any come to me?"

Homosexuality and Law
We've heard a lot of commotion recently about homosexuality. We've heard controversial stands. We've heard studies that support homosexuality as a good thing. We've read research that labels homosexuality as wrong. It's not just a new topic of discourse - it's an age-old question that has haunted humanity for years. What of homosexuality? Is is good, bad, neutral? Many questions have been raised in my own mind, some being heard from others, some arising out of my own thought.
Questions like:
Is homosexuality wrong? If it is, why? Who says?
Isn't it just personal preference?
Doesn't the Bible approve of homosexuality?
Aren't some people just born that way?
Is homosexuality natural?
What if homosexuality is just another link in the evolutionary chain?
In the spring of 2009, I began a journey, a journey in search of the answers to my questions. I looked here; I explored there. Several ideas were not satisfactory solutions to what seemed to be a deeper issue. Finally, my journey led me to the face of Law - not the United States' Legislature - but higher order laws (if such exist) which might inform our thinking on the issue of homosexuality. I invite you to join me as I conclude my journey and begin to find answers to my questions, in Homosexuality and Law.

Love
To feel pride in your heart when you stand up and sing, that's not love.
To feel sad inside when the mourning bells ring, that's not love.
To enjoy your time when new places adorn, that's not love.
To feel fuzzy within when new life is born, that's not love.
To look in the eyes of someone adore, that's not love.
To feel the feeling you ne'er felt before, that's not love.
That's not love.
To free someone else and you pay the cost, that's love.
To show someone the way when you end up lost, that's love.
To give of yourself when it causes you pain, that's love.
To forgive someone else when they might do it again, that's love.
To give till it hurts, and then keep giving, too, that's love.
To give your own life to save one who hates you, that's love.
That's love.

Letters to the President: (#1) More Garbage For Your Platform
Dear Mr. President,
I appreciate what you're trying to do with health care and all, but while you're fighting that out, I have something much worse happening to me. I have piles of garbage collecting outside my door.
It all started with a little fallout with the Waste Management people. You know, the guys that come along and get trash and put it in those big trucks. Well, for starters, they charge for that! Why don't they come get my garbage for free? Shouldn't I have that right as a citizen of the United States? My employer doesn't even pay that bill for me! I have to pay it myself! That's ridiculous.
Well, a couple weeks ago I found out that they were cheating me! That's right. I asked my neighbor across the street how much she was paying, and she was only paying half as much as me! So I called up the Waste Collection services department and demanded an explanation. They said it was because I had more garbage than my neighbor across the street and that I didn't contain it properly. Contain it properly? Sure, my neighbor uses garbage cans and bags, so what! I just dump mine out in the yard. Why should I have to bag it or put it in a can? That's what the garbage people are for!
Well, I had it! How dare they demand that I put out my trash a certain way! So I told them that I wasn't going to pay them anymore. That's right. They would have to get my garbage for free. I deserve free trash care! That was the last time they took my garbage. They still take my neighbor's garbage, but not mine. It's not fair! I don't have any way to get rid of my trash now that they won't take it!
I don't think it's just me, either. I think there's other people, American Citizens, that can't get affordable trash care. It's an outrage. People everywhere without access to affordable garbage collection! And you, Mr. Obama, are the one to do something about it. We need National Trash Care Reform!
Please push Congress to pass a Trash Care Reform bill, giving everyone in the United States free trash care. I know somebody will have to pay for it, but as long as it's not me, I'm ok with that. Make all the rich business owners pay for it. Just tax them a lot. They don't deserve to have anything more than me, even if they've worked and sacrificed all their lives to get where they are.
I'm sure there will be some elitist people that will be upset with the idea of nationalized trash care. But, hey, what's the government for, anyway? (The government isn't the government unless they're giving me everything I want at the expense of others.) So, you'll probably have to say that the new trash care isn't mandatory, but I have a good plan for making it mandatory after a while.
First, if any businesses don't provide free trash care to all their employees, you can fine them big time! Make them pay up for being stingy and keeping their money away from their employees! I know some companies won't be able to afford it, and it will probably make them go bankrupt like GM, but that's ok.
Second, if individual people don't want to use the new trash care, fine them, too! Yeah, that will teach people to mess with the government. They can keep their little trash care if they want, but they'll have to pay big time for it. All this fining will also provide money for the National Trash Care.
Pretty soon, because you're using taxes and money from fines, the National Trash Care will undercut all the competition and all the other Trash Care services will go out of business because they can't compete! Within a few years, National Trash Care will be the only thing left and people will have to use it, and it won't even have been “mandatory.” Sounds like a good plan, huh?
As soon as everyone is using the new trash care, then the government will be in complete control! You can choose who gets their trash picked up, when they get their trash picked up, and how much trash you'll pick up. (I know that will add to an already bloated bureaucracy and cost a lot more money, but there's always the rich people that you can tax more.) You'll even be able to bring Waste Clinics into the schools and teach the kids about garbage without the parents even knowing or having any control over what goes on! Isn't that great!
Now, any decent citizen in their right mind won't let something like this pass, so it's crucial that you make it happen fast! Let me give you some pointers.
Make the bill as long as you can, and hide all kinds of ridiculous stuff in it. (You can even stick in stuff like free trash care for illegal aliens, government funded abortions, or even a provision to allow anyone to run for president as long as they claim to have been born in the United States!) Then, don't give anybody a chance to read it, just try to push it through as fast as you can. Oh, yeah, use the “Just trust me” line, that one works great!
If anybody tries to oppose it, just call them liars and anything else you can think of. That will put them in their place. Try to trick people by not telling them the whole truth about the reform. But don't let anyone call you a liar, though. It'd be bad if people found out the truth!
I guess the sad reality is that I am totally incapable of doing anything for myself anymore. I need the government to take care of me, even take out my trash. Please, Mr. Obama, please take care of me in every way, even taking out my garbage. I hope you will push for National Trash Care Reform, it'll be more garbage for your already bloated platform.
Sincerely,
Feeling Pretty Dumpy

To Texas and Back Again
About 24 hours at a rapid pace southerly, just short of 1500 miles, lies the ghost town of McAllen, TX. This month, I donned my boots and hat and set of on horseback for the dried-up ranches of Texas... well, something like that anyway.
Now, for the real story:
God has been answering many prayers for Taylor Christian School, a WGM school in southern Texas, located in the city of McAllen, less than 10 miles from the Mexico border. As a part of these answers to prayer, they're switching to computerized curriculum, that will allow for better quality education and more individualized learning. This is a big change, as they have not been heavily computerized in the past. To accomplish this change, they needed their building outfitted with the electical capacity to power the needed computers, and an adequate wireless network over which they could connect to the internet.
A couple from my church and myself went down as a work team the beginning of July to accomplish three tasks, one for each person: I was setting up the network, one was doing the electical work, and one was setting up their finances on computer. We drove the almost 24 hours in each direction (about 12 hours of that in Texas alone), for a total driving time of almost 48 hours (two days of my life consumed by driving...). We were there for 6 1/2 days, and through the Lord's strength and the help of some of the works at the school, we were able to accomplish all that we set out to do and more. I did a lot of wiring and rewiring (not rewiring my own work, but rewiring the old that they did have), configuring and reconfiguring, etc.
The weather was different. It was over 100 degrees every day. The day we go there, it was 107. In the evenings it usually cooled down though, to upper 80's or lower 90's. :) It was pretty dry. The corn we saw was all dried up. We saw one pond that was entirely dry. There were a lot of cactus, but they weren't the cool big ones that you see in western movies. They were just the short ones that will jab through your clothes if you touch them (though some of them did grow taller). It did rain some, but not much. It started sprinkling one day, and everybody was exclaiming "it's raining!"
One highlight of the trip was that another team was coming from Michigan and got in a few days after we got there. It just so happens, that this team was from the church where I did my internship two years ago, so it was fun getting to see all of them again. They came to do some general work on the school and do a VBS.
Along with all the work, there was also time for fun. I went motorcycling with the missionary, and we drove out to the Rio Grande (Big River), which was about the size of the north fork of the Kentucky River (in other words, you could very easily cast a fishing line to the other side, or swim across while holding your breath - that is, if you can swim and hold your breath). I also went dirt bicycling (here it's called mountain biking, but they call it dirt biking, because you would have to have mountains to go mountain biking, and they mostly just have dirt). I went with the missionary and we rode about 7 miles: in and out, up and down, all around, in between trees, dodging cactus. One spot was walled by cactus on both sides, so falling off or making a wrong turn would not be advised, if you get my point :) I also watched a live soccer game, played by mostly South Americans (go figure) - they were good. Finally, we took a trip out to the beach at South Padre Island. I refrained from swimming, which would necessitate the ability to do so. Rather, I took a walk out to the end of the peer, a good-sized rock dividing wall more than 1/2 mile into the Gulf of Mexico. It was pretty neat. The waves were hitting and splashing up. I saw some dolphins and turtles swimming out in the water. I also saw a crab just about get swept out into the deep.
I think that about wraps up the trip. Overall, it was a good experience and I enjoyed it greatly. I thank the Lord for the opportunity and all that He helped us accomplish, as well as for everything that He is doing at Taylor Christian School.
Want to know what others say about Texas?
"I feel safer on a racetrack than I do on Houston's freeways." - A. J. Foyt
"I thought I knew Texas pretty well, but I had no notion of its size until I campaigned it." - Ann Richards
Texas Sayings (taken from various places)
"It's so hot the hens are layin' hard-boiled eggs." "It's hotter than a stolen tamale." "It's so hot, the chickens have to use potholders to pull the worms out of the ground." "It's as hot as a billy goat in a pepper patch." (Hot)
"You can't tell how deep a well is by measuring the length of the pump handle." (Looks can be deceiving.)
"I've seen cows hurt worse than this and get well." (A reference to a poorly-cooked or rare steak.) (That's the truth...)
"Everytime I stand up, my mind sits down." (Unable to think clearly.)
"He's got more guts than you could hang on a fence." (Brave)
"So poor I had a tumbleweed as a pet." (Poor)
"I won't say it's far, but I had to grease the wagon twice before I hit the main road."
"If you get to thinkin' you're a person of some influence, try orderin' somebody else's dog around."
"Don't worry about bitin' off more than you can chew. Your mouth is probably a whole lot bigger'n you think."
"The quickest way to double your money is to fold it over and put it back in your pocket."
"Throwin' your rope before you make a loop ain't gonna catch the cow."
Two more:
"How's momma and them?" (A greeting meaning, "How are you?")
"We've howdyed but we ain't shook." (We haven't been formally introduced.)

You're a Blogger Now!
They used to say you to had to have a BlogSpot in order to be a real blogger. That is, in the days of BlogSpot. Today, things are different.
Now, they say that to BE a real blogger, you have to HAVE a real Blogger! Well, I have finally arrived. Now, I HAVE a real blogger. That means, I AM a real blogger!
I suppose it doesn't matter much whether I ever post anything, or whether I keep my Blogger up to date. The only important thing is that I HAVE one. So, now I'm set forever! I HAVE a Blogger - I got it today - and I AM forever a Blogger!
