Camila Cabello had us all believing she's been working on her debut solo studio album when she posted this atmospheric video on Instagram earlier this week…
Seems pretty innocent doesn't it?
Looks like Camila's just getting on with the creative process for her new album right?
Later, when she tweeted what is supposed by many fans to be lyrics to one of her new songs, MP! smelt a rat.

Wait, a minute. These lines don't rhyme one bit! We can't see these being song lyrics at all. What's going on?
"Welcome home…"
Then suddenly the creepy dark lighting from the Instagram post and the emo lyric tagline, "I lost so much more than my senses", make perfect sense.
Camila is known for throwing a curveball or two… so what if she's writing a horror film script!?
And we're not alone in our theory.
for some reason I read this in my creepy head voice and pictured the beginning of a horror movie….
— Beth (@margravine_l) January 9, 2017
See it's not just us.
@camilacabello97 every time camila post something i imagine her staring at us like that pic.twitter.com/OYWxhg8l7j

This pretty much sums up our reaction to that…
So what do you think? Is Camila secretly working on a horror film script or horror epic novel? Let us know your thoughts using the comments box below.

19th Sunday in Pentecost B, October 7, 2012
Pastor Brian Henderson-Trinity Lutheran Church, San Diego, CA
Click here for audio of this message
"Truly, I say to you, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God like a child shall not enter it." [Mark 10:15
Each of you who are baptized in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are promised a seat at our Lord's banquet table; you've been promised a mansion in heaven. Or like I taught the children in their message this morning, by abiding or resting in Jesus, you've been given a ticket on the heavenly train to glory. So, are you going? Will you be there in glory?
God's Word promises that you will be; it encourages you to trust in Christ alone; He wants you to rest in everything that He has done for you in this life and the life to come. Is that enough for you, or do you need more?
In our epistle reading this morning (Hebrews 2:1-13), God warns His little ones, He warns you and me that if we don't continually grab a hold of His promises about our blessed assurance, we might begin to drift away from our seat at the banquet table; we might begin to want to find another way to our heavenly home. So is that a danger to us; drifting away from God's precious promises? It is if we are trusting in something other than the work and the promises of God!
Why do you have times when you feel like your life lacks meaning and purpose? It's because you've taken your eyes off of God's promises! Why is it that when trouble comes your way you become afraid and filled with doubt? It's because you lost sight of Jesus and His real presence in your life! Why is it that when fear and doubt come, you begin to lose that joy in knowing that you really do have a place prepared just for you in heaven? It's because you have begun to judge success by what you do and not what God has done for you!
The truth is we all fall short of God's will for us here; we all fall short of His perfection, but we still want so badly to please Him; to earn His love and respect. But it's also true that no matter how hard we try to be good, we will fail. And yet we still try to earn our place in heaven by what we do.
This morning the theme in both our Old Testament and Gospel lessons seems to be marriage and family. In both of these readings, God is showing us His perfect will and how far short we fall from that perfection. So then why do we still think that on our own we can be a good husband or a good wife, a good parent or child? Because we have a sin problem, and our sinful nature won't let us see the impossibility of change; it won't let us see that on our own, we are without hope. And so, even though we know that we fall short of pleasing God, our sinful desire to be independent would have us believe that we can bridge this gap by our own efforts. So we are deceived into thinking that if we just try a little harder our marriages will be repaired and our families will be God pleasing.
This kind of thinking is not only dangerous, it is darn right destructive. It's harmful to ourselves and to those we love. You see, when we think that action and effort are enough to please God and restore joy in our lives and our relationships with others, we have abandoned God's promises of help and hope. We've exchanged the hope of the gospel for the demands of the Law; a Law that will settle for nothing short of perfection!
People who are trusting in the law are easy to spot. They are the ones who struggle and strive but never really see any lasting improvement in their lives. Life guards on our San Diego beaches say that the biggest danger to swimmers are the many rip-tides that are present off our shores. They say that swimmers caught in a rip tide are easy to spot. They are the ones who swim and swim, yet they aren't moving. They aren't moving because they aren't strong enough to defeat the current.
Sadly, each of us can get caught up in the riptides of life. We tell ourselves that if we just try harder, everything will be alright. And when we become exhausted at trying to fix our marriages or our other relationships, we become discouraged and maybe afraid that God is angry at us because we aren't spiritual enough. So what do we do? We look for another way to maximize our effort; we read another book or take another course. We try new techniques and try to be nicer and more attentive.
Maybe, we hear about a Christian who seems to have everything going for them, so we try to find out their secret or technique to happiness. And if we hear that they get up every morning at 4:00 a.m. to spend more time with God in prayer and Bible study, we resolve to do that too, even though we aren't a morning person. And what do you think the result will be for us? We will probably still be frustrated, but now we'll also be dazed, confused, groggy and grumpy all day because we didn't get enough sleep. And now with inadequate sleep, our marriage is worse and the people we love are avoiding us!
Now at this point, you would think that we would admit failure and try things God's way, right? Nope! Instead, we'll tell ourselves that because we're exhausted and miserable, this must be what God wants us to do. It must be spiritual! So we keep it up for a few weeks or maybe even a few months, but eventually our discipline will break down, and we'll abandon this latest technique towards building a better marriage, and a stronger family. You know what comes next don't you? Guilt! And after enough guilt we'll simply move onto the next program or buy another book with 10 easy steps towards fulfillment.
Eventually, we will just give up; we simply won't have the energy to try anymore. And what comes next? We learn to fake it. We think that we can bridge the gap to heaven by acting like we're alright, even though everything within us and around us is screaming in our ears that we aren't OK. But we keep up the image; we speak as if we had deeper spiritual experiences than we really have. Our hearts become cold, and we speak as though our sin bothers us more than it really does. We pray as though our voice is throbbing with deep emotion that isn't really there. Why we might even join in a game of spiritual musical chairs, always searching for a different church or ministry that will provide the magic key. Some people go from one movement to another, continually rededicating their lives to the Lord, only to fall away again and again. And if this continues, God is warning us that eventually we will secretly give up. Oh, we'll still hope that there's a place for us in heaven, but between now and the day we die, we'll spend the rest of our lives disappointed and not even trying to change.
So what's the answer? Where is the hope? What is it that can break this awful cycle of disappointment and death? It certainly isn't greater resolve or another program; no I think that we need to follow the example of the mothers and babies in our gospel lesson to get our answer!
We need to get to Jesus! Listen: "And they were bringing children to him that he might touch them, and the disciples rebuked them. But when Jesus saw it, he was indignant and said to them, "Let the children come to me; do not hinder them, for to such belongs the kingdom of God. Truly, I say to you, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God like a child shall not enter it." And he took them in his arms and blessed them, laying his hands on them."
The Pharisees wanted to sit around talking about the best technique, the most God pleasing program that would free people from the condemnation of the law; in this case they were arguing about divorce. But Jesus wouldn't let them; instead He told them that they didn't have a problem in choosing the best strategy, they had a problem with their hearts. They were sinful. They needed a new heart, and that was something only Jesus could give them.
The apostles didn't have that problem; they had constant access to God's recreating presence; they were with Jesus all of the time. No, there problem was their desire to control Jesus; they wanted to limit His audience, and the people who also got to be with Him. They really wanted Jesus to themselves and they wanted Him to minister to others in a way they thought was best. So they forbid the mothers from bringing their children to Jesus. But Jesus wouldn't have any of that. He was angry and He let it show! He told them that not only should they quit standing in the way of these little ones getting to Him, but that if they did not become like one of those babies, they would never get into heaven! In other words, they too needed a new heart; they needed to turn to God confessing their helplessness and total dependence on His care!
The truth is, eventually all of us finally figure out that we can't ever bridge the gap by our own efforts. We discover that we can never earn God's love and forgiveness. We discover that God will always work the way He desires and not the way we want Him to work; we discover that we must become like a child and realize that this kind of love can only come by grace. A child knows that salvation is a gift; it's simply something that is given to him; it's something that he trusts in because it comes from Jesus. That is why Jesus loves to use little children as his teaching aids.
What is God's plan for you, your marriage, family, and life? That you would not trust in your own abilities or your self-improvement plans, but instead learn to rest in what He has done for you through Jesus Christ. In Jesus, concerning your forgiveness, there is no place for self-improvement because that would negate the need for the cross. In the cross, God takes you away from your plan of salvation and He shows you His. He shows you His Son who suffered and died for every sinner that ever lived. But He also makes it very personal by taking you to the waters of your baptism. In your baptism He promises that you have been recreated and restored; He promises that in His Word, in His promises you can grab onto them, trust them and then watch as He continually renews you and changes you.
The mothers in our gospel reading knew what you also know but often forget. If you can just get to Jesus and stay with Him, there is new life and hope in abundance! In the Word of God, Jesus speaks to you, to your marriages, to your families; He speaks Words of forgiveness and hope. Even if you have been marked by divorce or a family tragedy, Jesus promises that this is not what defines you or condemns you; instead, He speaks forgiveness and new life as He continually invites you into His plan of salvation for you; and in this plan, He promises to give you a new and abundant life.
Listen friends, God doesn't want you to just be saved by grace but to live by it as well! God's plan is for your daily life to be guided, guarded, and energized by Jesus suffering and death for you! He wants you to live in grace and then watch as it flows out of you and into your families, your relationships and our community. In essence, God wants you to be amazed at how His Spirit will transform your life, your family, and our community.
So will you be there, at the banquet in heaven? Yes by grace alone! But listen, God doesn't want you to be satisfied with just your seat, your mansion in heaven, He also wants you to go out and invite others to join you. You can do that as you let His forgiving love live in you and pass through you. You can do that as you invite others to come with you to this place of worship so that they too can experience the very same thing. I pray that you will do this very thing… in Jesus name… AMEN and AMEN!

Dark chocolate is often described as chocolate that has a somewhat bitter taste to it. Don't get me wrong, it's good, but it stays with you long after you consume it. That is why the first book I am going to mention is by the late, great Bebe Moore Campbell, 72 Hour Hold. This book has stayed with me since I first read it in 2005. At the time, I was struggling with debilitating depression, and I stumbled upon this book while trying to find something to distract me from my own struggles and maybe even inform me about some of the concerns I had about my own illness. This book accomplished both.
72 Hour Hold is the story of a mother, Keri, who is trying to come to terms with her daughter, Trina's, struggles with bipolar disorder. Trina went from being a normal vivacious young person, to becoming a violent, disruptive shadow of her former self. This novel shows the true nature of this disease and how it not only affects the person suffering from it, but also the ones who love the sufferer. The reader gets to see Keri fighting her child, as she fights her ex-husband and a flawed system in order to insure Trina gets the help she needs. The reader witnesses Keri's overwhelming love for her daughter and her willingness to do anything to get her daughter back.
This book is not for the faint of heart. Bebe Moore Campbell doesn't sugarcoat bipolar disorder and she doesn't offer any easy solutions, hence the bitter chocolate taste that is left in the reader's mouth after completing this well-written piece of fiction. It is a tragedy that Ms. Bebe Moore Campbell is no longer with us. Her voice is greatly needed.

If you missed Part I, you can check it out here.
Every time I drive by a graveyard I am consumed with the thought that each person who has passed away had a story. Some with a story of tragedy, others comedy, romance, or action... most with a bit of each. Those stories live on in some capacity, in the memories of those who knew the person. And yet, most of the stories are lost.
Every time I drive by a graveyard I am consumed with the thought that each person who has passed away had a story. Some with a story of tragedy, others comedy, romance, or action... most with a bit of each. Those stories live on in some capacity, in the memories of those who knew the person. And yet, most of the stories are lost.
We can often go through life without recognizing what we have been given. We rush through, from one thing to the next, without stopping to think, reflect, and learn more about ourselves. In an effort to remain connected, we often forget to say and do the things that really bring us together.
J. R. R. Tolkien wrote, "Courage is found in unlikely places." Anyone who has told his story knows that courage is found in the first pen stroke on a blank piece of paper. It is found in the eyes of your family as you share "of a time when..." It is found in the laughter and in the tears. Courage is found when we pry open the locked doors around our souls to let others peek in.
It is found in the unlikely places.
You may be thinking, "I have nothing to tell. My life is normal, boring, nothing special." But I can tell you that you are wrong. You have a view of this world that is completely unique to you. You feel and see things in a way that others cannot. And by holding back, diminishing your story, you forfeit the ability for anyone to catch a glimpse of your experiences of things. You have loved and lost in a way that no one else quite has. You are the sole key holder.
So how do you share your story, especially when you feel you have very little to tell? Here are a few suggestions to get you started...
1// Journal
Ever wish you could hear the stories straight from the mouth of your great grandmother? I do. I would love for a long lost notebook to show up and to hear of the daily living from years past. And someday, someone will feel the same about you. Write with honesty, in a way that when you look back you are put in that place again. When you journal you can see progress, direction and a holistic picture of yourself. Journaling in itself is therapeutic, it is a way to reflect, but it also provides a first hand account of who you are.
2// Start Small
No, you do not need to call a meeting with all of your friends and family and start sharing every intricate area of your life. Rather, try to be aware of your stories. What do you leave out? Why? Do you tend to only tell certain pieces of your story? Start to think about the things you have told others and the things you have not. Try to be aware of your story, where you have come from and where you want to go, and let others into that process.
3// Find Someone You Trust
I find that many of my most meaningful stories are told late at night. I speak truth, and let others in. It is not so much the time of day, but rather a setting, a place of trust. There are people in my life who I can share with and I make room for these same people to give me advice and ask questions about my story. Do not give this space to everyone. There are people that will try to speak into your life, to affect your story, who have no right to do so. Be choosey but make sure you do let people in with full permission to interact with and add to your story.
The most important thing to recognize is that you have a voice, and you should use it. No matter what your age, you have a life that needs to be shared. The act of storytelling is not only for the listener. It is for you. It allows you to see a holistic picture of where you have been and to give you a better idea of where you are going.
Your story is important. So, will you tell it?

Pen Pals
remember when I was a little girl I had a pen pal, that I signed up for at school. I always enjoyed learning the lettering process, talking to someone that didn't live in my hometown. The letters were usually short, depending on what level of writing I was at at that specific time. Sometimes we shared stickers or coloring pages, but even if it was just a simple letter, I always enjoyed reading the sweet words my pen pal had sent. I mean what child doesn't love getting something in the mail? Well I know that bubba is only 6 and Miss Priss is only 3 1/2, but I think it would be a fun thing to start with them now. I think it would be a fun way for them to practice letters and sentence writing. I am wondering if their are any other moms out in the blog world that feel the same way. If so send me an e-mail and maybe we could start some pen palling with our children. I don't think that penpalling means you have to live far away from each other. I think it is just getting back to writing simple letters, when lately all we see are e-mails. Let me know what you all think.
Have a Blessed Day!

YES! We are in and I feel the same wya you do about letter writing. I talked to the boys about having Bubba as a pen pal and they are really excited about it. I will email you later. We had a late start today. Thanks so much for starting this up. I have one that needs some hand writing help and I think this will be fun for him.ReplyDelete

Upon entering the quaint eatery, the first things I noticed was the bright decor and clean environment. I reviewed the overhead menus with lots of vegetarian and vegan options. I had trouble choosing between homemade vegetarian soups, baked sweet potatoes, a... Read More
Orlando's Best Kept Produce Secret
Before I discovered Freshfields Farm, my budget for fresh produce consisted of bananas, green beans, potatoes, onions and the occasionally bag of spinach. The chain supermarkets drained my budget quickly and a few years ago at the height of the recession canned and frozen food were replacing the fresh, nutrient rich foods I craved. Then one day while I was running errands, I drove past a bright and inviting sign with produce specials... Read More
Veg 'n' Out: Key West
Key West is better known for Fantasy Fest, Duval Street, free roaming chickens, key lime pie, mile marker 0, southernmost point, six toed cats and the Hemingway house, but also among those six square miles of island time are some unique and noteworthy veg cuisine restaurants. To maximize your Key West experience, I recommend renting a moped, which are available throughout the island. No worries if you've never driven one before, the rental... Read More

StubHub Unit Kicks in When Orders go Awry
(From Sports Business Journal, September 16, 2013) StubHub is running into a problem known as WISMO, which stands for where is my order. Many people are finding out that the major ticketing franchise StubHub is running into problems of not taking tickets off the market when they are already sold. This is due to the selling of tickets on multiple websites and the seller failing to take the listing down right away. When this problem arises, the StubHub's sourcing group comes in and establishes a way to find comparable tickets that will still satisfy the buyer.
If the customer is still not satisfied, then StubHub offers replacement tickets on behalf of their mistake. If the buyer is still not interested, then they receive a full refund from the tickets. StubHub's Chief Operating Officer Noah Goldberg strives to have a well-coordinated staff in order to keep the customer happy. Noah stated, "Empowered staff help you make happy customers, and happy customers deliver long-term financial results."
Due to having thousands of tickets for sale at various events, finding a ticket that is comparable usually is simple. In a situation where they could not find a comparable ticket, StubHub will either bill the seller or take the loss itself. All of the company's transactions are monitored in case of problems that could be resolved immediately before the order is finalized.
Back in the earlier years of StubHub, they had to ship tickets through FedEx which was not the ideal approach to them. In 2004, StubHub hired a bicycle messenger in Chicago that would carry up to 15,000 dollars worth of tickets. StubHub has been successful because they always put their customer first and make sure that the customers are satisfied at the end of the day. StubHub Co-Founder Jeff Fluhr had an approach that if something goes wrong, then make it right. He also said, "That's just elbow grease and long-term commitment to the customer that ultimately pays dividends in the form of trust and loyalty."

go to the one hundred and nineteenth set of Jewish jokes
This is the one hundred and eighteenth set of Jewish jokes
(#2060) Cruising needs
A few days before Sharon and her husband Jeremy are due to go on a 14 day Mediterranean cruise, Jeremy says to her, "And don't forget to put your diamond necklace in our safe before we leave home."
"Oh no," says Sharon, looking dejected, "you know how much I like my necklace, Jeremy. I've been so looking forward to wearing it onboard the ship. I really want to take it with me. So why can't I?"
"Don't be a shmo Sharon," replies Jeremy. "Supposing you drown and your body can't be recovered?"
(#2061) The interpreter
A Court hearing is taking place and the next witness to be called up is eighty year old Hymie. He has a long beard and payess, a kippa on his head and he's wearing his tzitzits outside his trousers.
The judge takes a quick look at Hymie and decides it unlikely that this witness is going to be able to freely converse in the Queen's English. So the Court's Jewish interpreter is immediately summoned.
The judge then says to Hymie, "There's no need to be concerned about giving evidence in English to this Court. We have an experienced Jewish interpreter with us to help you. I hope this meets with your approval."
"Thank you your Honour," replies Hymie in beautifully clear English, "but I don't need an interpreter. I was Professor of English at Cambridge University for 40 years and ....."
At this point, the interpreter interrupts and says, "Your Honor, ehr hat gesagt........."
payess; side curls worn by ultra orthodox males
kippa: skullcap, see also yarmulka
tzitzits; fringes or tassles found on the corner of a prayer shawl worn by observant Jews
'ehr hat gesagt ......': 'he said ........'
(#2062) The rabbi's great sermons
As Leah and Isaac are walking back home after the shabbes service, Leah says, "Do you know darling, I think Rabbi Bloom today made one of the best sermons I've heard for years. He's really inspired me."
"I agree with you there, Leah," says Isaac. "He's very good. In fact, I think he would really appreciate someone saying something positive about him for a change. So as you like his sermons so much, why don't you shmooze him a bit next shabbes and tell him how much you enjoy his sermons?"
"I might just do that," says Leah.
Next shabbes, as soon as the service finishes, Leah goes over to Rabbi Bloom. "Good shabbes rabbi," she says. "I want to tell you just how much I enjoy all your sermons. They're wonderful works of inspiration. They're so good, in fact, that I think you should have them published. What an inspirational book that would be."
"Why thank you Leah," says Rabbi Bloom. "I'm very flattered. But there are many rabbis whose sermons are much, much better than mine are."
"I cannot believe that, rabbi," says Leah.
"Well if they're really as good as you think," says Rabbi Bloom thinking aloud, "maybe my sermons should be published posthumously."
"Great!" says Leah. "What a good idea, rabbi. I just can't wait to get hold of a copy of your book."
shmooze: talk idly or casually and in a friendly way
(#2063) Money isn't everything ... or is it?
[My thanks to Alfred J for the following]
Benny the dentist has just finished treating one of his women patients and as she leaves the surgery, he turns to his assistant Robert and says, "There goes the woman I love more than anyone in the world."
"So why don't you marry her then?" asks Robert.
"I wish I could," replies Benny, "but I can't afford to. She happens to be my best patient."
(#2064) The shul quiz night
[My thanks to Hilary for the following]
Cyril asks his friend Mervyn, "So how did the shul quiz go last night?"
"Oy Cyril, I was hoping you wouldn't ask," replies Mervyn.
"Why?" asks Cyril.
"Because in the middle of the quiz, I was asked to leave the shul. I can't tell you how embarrassing that was."
"What happened?" asks Cyril.
"When I was asked the question, 'Where do the most women have curly hair?', I gave what I thought was the correct answer, one that any man might have given. But it was the wrong answer and I was told to leave the shul at once. How was I to know the correct answer was 'Africa'?"
(#2065) On his way up
As Lionel is walking past a house in Golders Green, he hears the voice of a woman shouting loudly and almost instantly knows she must be a Jewish mother. This is what he hears:
"Philip, you're not listening to me. You're much too young to be climbing a loft ladder. I want you to get off it right now."
"Did you hear me Philip? I said climb down at once. If you don't, you'll fall and you'll hurt yourself."
More silence.
"OK, Philip. Don't say I didn't warn you. If you fall off the ladder and break both your legs, don't come running to me."
(#2066) What a year!
Sarah meets her friend Suzy in Brent Cross shopping centre. They haven't seen each other for years.
"So nu? How are you Suzy?" asks Sarah. "How's everything going with you?"
"Oy veh, you shouldn't ask," replies Suzy. "It's been a terrible year for me so far."
"Why, what's happened?" asks Sarah.
"Nine months ago," replies Suzy, "my son Gerald suddenly decides to leave his wife Rivkah and his two daughters and go live with a man. Six months ago, my lovely daughter Sharon crashes her car and has to have her right hand amputated. Then three months ago, my husband Monty has a massive heart attack whilst we're making love and dies before any help can arrive. And tomorrow, the decorators are coming."
(#2067) The new tallis
Emanuel is a very strict and religious orthodox Jew. And because he's not that wealthy, he's been wearing the same tallis in shul for many years. In that time, not surprisingly, it becomes very shabby looking.
But then, one shabbes, Emanuel arrives in shul and surprises everyone by putting on a lovely bright, new tallis. At the end of the service, the rabbi goes over to Emanuel and asks, "So Manny, tell me. Where did you get such a lovely new tallis?"
"I got it as a Christmas present from my son-in-law," replies Emanuel.
(#2068) It's nothing new
Aaron, in his final year at University, is having a chat with his zaydeh.
"So tell me already, Aaron," asks zaydeh, "what is this course you are taking?"
"I'm taking psychology, zaydeh," replies Aaron.
"Nu, so what exactly is a psychology?" asks zaydeh.
"Psychology is quite a new subject really," replies Aaron, "and that's why you didn't learn anything about it when you were at school. Briefly, psychologists try to understand men and women's brain functions and also their behaviours, such as perception, attention, emotion, motivation, personality, and interpersonal relationships. They do this so that they can better understand how someone acts; why he says what he says; and why he does what he does."
"Oy, now I understand," says zaydeh. "And you think this is something new? Why, when I was a young boy growing up, my parents called it yiddishe saychel."
yiddishe saychel; Jewish common sense
zaydeh: grandfather
(#2069) Some things famous Jewish people have said
[My thanks to Joe D for the following]
I once wanted to become an atheist but I gave up. They have no holidays.
[Henny Youngman]
Look at Jewish history. Unrelieved lamenting would be intolerable. So, for every ten Jews beating their breasts, God designated one to be crazy and amuse the breast beaters. By the time I was five, I knew I was that one.
[Mel Brooks]
Even if you're Catholic, if you live in New York you're Jewish. If you live in Butte, Montana, you're going to be a goy even if you are Jewish.
[Lenny Bruce]
God, I know we are your chosen people, but couldn't you choose somebody else for a change?
[Shalom Aleichem]
The remarkable thing about my mother is that for thirty years she served us nothing but leftovers. The original meal has never been found.
[Calvin Trillin]
Let me tell you the one thing I have against Moses. He took us forty years into the desert in order to bring us to the one place in the Middle East that has no oil.
[Golda Meir]
Even a secret agent can't lie to a Jewish mother.
[Peter Malkin]
My idea of an agreeable person is a person who agrees with me.
[Benjamin Disraeli]
It's so simple to be wise. Just think of something stupid to say and then don't say it.
[Sam Levenson]
Don't be humble; you're not that great.
[Golda Meir]
God will pardon me. It's His business.
[Heinrich Heine]
I went on a diet, swore off drinking and heavy eating, and in fourteen days I had lost exactly two weeks.
[Joe E. Lewis]
I have enough money to last me the rest of my life - unless I buy something.
[Jackie Mason]
I don't want to achieve immortality through my work. I want to achieve immortality through not dying.
[Woody Allen]
Marriage is a wonderful institution. But who wants to live in an institution?
[Groucho Marx]
Whoever called it necking was a poor judge of anatomy.
[Groucho Marx]
Too bad that all the people who know how to run this country are busy driving taxis and cutting hair.
[George Burns]

What to Make of the Oakland Raiders
The Raiders have been everybody's off-season darling this year, and it's easy to see why. They have some legitimate talent on offense, with Derek Carr developing nicely at the quarterback position. It helps that he has some excellent talent at receiver to throw to, with Amari Cooper and Michael Crabtree providing a nice 1-2 punch in the receiving corps. In addition, their defense signed some solid talent in the offense to bolster what was a fairly mediocre unit in 2015. Reggie Nelson, while hardly in his prime, should lend some maturity to the secondary. Closer to the line of scrimmage, Bruce Irvin has proven to be a solid pass rusher whose coverage skills are actually fairly underrated. One would think that with these additions, plus an extra year together for the Triple C's (Carr, Cooper and Crabtree), would mean the team would make the next step and get into the playoffs. So, will they?
In a word, no. This is due to a variety of factors, the first being the division they play in. Questions at quarterback or not, Denver's defense is still a horrible matchup for this Raiders team. The Raiders' offensive line is less than stellar, and Denver's D-line might be the best in the league. Denver's secondary is also excellent, which means they can drag Oakland into a low scoring slugfest. This is not the kind of game the Raiders were built to win. Then you have the Chiefs. Arrowhead is one of the most difficult venues to play in, so you can chalk that game up as a loss already. The Chiefs' offense is actually good enough to keep pace with Oakland's, and their defense is better. Finally, you have San Diego, which hasn't been very good the past few years. In spite of that, I actually think San Diego will have a bounce-back year and be competitive in the division. Philip Rivers is still going to put up numbers, and the defense shouldn't suffer nearly as many injuries as they did a year ago.
The Raiders may actually be a better football team this year than they were last year, but don't expect the record to show it.

My Mambo In Law
My mom in law is awesome. Everyone should have one just like her. She's the kind of person who leaves money in our house for us to find and takes a train for an hour just to bring us soup when we're not feeling well. She's also Brazilian and a bit wacky (in a good way!). Anyway- she was looking to buy some mambo and meringe music and I said I would hook her up. She especially wanted some Tito Puente stuff so I took care of it and now I have been listening to Tito Puente all week! And loving it. So, I am offering up some Tito Puente here.
Enjoy it and mambo and samba yer arses off!!!!!!!!

Cool story. Reminds me of the day many years ago, as curious young man I dropped into a Latino record shop in San Francisco's Mission District and asked for a recommendation for "salsa" and was handed a Tito Puente record. Now I'm on 20 yrs of listening to El Rey and Mambo and lovin' it!

Verbum", which now includes even better libraries and features!
I've been given a sneak peak and, let me just say, this is incredible!
If you're a Catholic who is interested in studying your faith, you need this software.
Upfront, I should tell you the following:
1. If you owned an older Verbum library you do not lose anything by upgrading.
2. There are many more books and features than I am able to mention here in these new Plus packages.
Nevertheless, here's a brief overview. . .
(By the way, here's the link to the Black Friday Deal.)
Better tools to study the lectionary
The first thing I love about this update is that Logos is now helping users better navigate the lectionary. When you first open the software you can now immediately see the readings of the day (or another day if you wish - just click a date on the calendar).
You can also have numerous tools open up alongside of the readings (e.g., commentaries, writings from the fathers and doctors, references in the Catechism of the Catholic Church, etc.).
This is going to be hugely helpful. Right now I'm setting my preferred commentaries up. One of them will certainly be the Ignatius Catholic Study Bible: New Testament by Scott Hahn and Curtis Mitch. I'll also be using Thomas Aquinas' Catena Aurea, my JPS Torah Commentary Series, Word Biblical Commentary, and Hermeneia series--among other things!
A Fantastic "Catholic Topical Index"
But even more awesome is the new Catholic index. Logos has assembled an incredible list of terms and concepts, including, "Eucharist," "Absolution," etc. For example, select "filioque" and you will immediately be taken to a list of biblical passages, writings from the fathers, and other important resources.
Basically, you have every theoloical source on the topic at the click of your fingers.
Let's just be clear about what this means: I've got virtually every major work by every major early church father at my finger tips. If I'm looking at "baptism", I can quickly search and find every key statement made by the fathers and doctors of the Church. I can also see every time magisterial sources talk about it, including, the Catechism, Church Councils, etc.
You can even get every papal encyclical going back to 1740!
All these resources are tagged and linked together. It's simply stunning!

Happy New Year! The 1st Sunday of Advent
Happy New Year, everyone! The Church Year begins this week with the First Sunday of Advent, and we are back to reading cycle A in 2014.
There is a very ancient tradition in the Church of reading the Book of Isaiah during Advent. In antiquity, both Jews and Christians considered the Book of Isaiah to be one extended prophesy of the "age to come," the "latter days" when the Anointed One (Heb. "Meshiach," ="Messiah") would arrive. The First Readings for Sunday Mass and for weekday Masses, as well as the Office of Readings in the Liturgy of the Hours, are dominated by Isaiah during this liturgical season.
In the Gospel sequence, the First Sunday of Advent focuses on Jesus' Second Coming, forming a good transition from the month of November with its focus on the Last Things. The Second and Third Sundays of Advent focus on John the Baptist, the fore-runner of Jesus. The Fourth Sunday finally casts its gaze on the events leading directly to Jesus birth.
That's the journey we are about to begin, so without further ado, let's plunge in!
1. The First Reading is Isaiah 2:1-5:

Our Lord Jesus Christ, King of the Universe: 34th Sunday of OT
The Church year comes to an end this Sunday with the Solemnity of Christ the King, one of my favorite feast days. The Readings focus heavily on the theme of the kingdom of Christ, which was typified or foreshadowed by the Kingdom of David in the Old Testament.
1. The First Reading is 2 Samuel 5:1-3:
In those days, all the tribes of Israel
came to David in Hebron and said:
"Here we are, your bone and your flesh.
In days past, when Saul was our king,
it was you who led the Israelites out
came to David in Hebron and said:
"Here we are, your bone and your flesh.
In days past, when Saul was our king,
it was you who led the Israelites out

The End is Near! The 33rd Sunday in OT
I was driving my son to his orthodontist this past week, and while touring through the back hills of Ohio, we passed a billboard in a farmer's field that advertised to all passing by on OH-45: "God has a Judgment Day coming!"
My son asked me if the farmer who had placed the billboard in his field was Catholic or Protestant. I suggested he probably was a Protestant. My son asked why Catholics didn't put up billboards like that. I theorized that perhaps fewer Catholics owned farms close to the highway, or maybe they were less convinced that announcing the coming judgment was really an effective means of evangelism.
Billboards announcing judgment day are not a part of American Catholic culture. Nonetheless, the Readings for this coming Sunday affirm the truth of that well-meaning farmer's sign. God does have a day of judgment coming. Is that good news or bad news? It would depend, I suppose, on whether we have suffered injustice or committed it.

Hope for a Hopeless World: 32nd Sunday in Ordinary Time
Some of the readers of our blog are aware that I wrote a little book, Bible Basics for Catholics (Ave Maria Press), that introduces people to the basic outline of the biblical storyline, in seven chapters from Creation to Jesus.
Last week, a bishop sent me an email saying he liked the book, but thinks I should add a final chapter on the Book of Revelation, the resurrection, and the life to come. One of the reasons for the suggestion, he said, was that people nowadays are experiencing not just a crisis of faith, but also of hope. They feel like there is nothing to believe in, but just as importantly: there is nothing to look forward to.
The bishop's comments ring in my ears as I look over the Readings that the Church has selected for us this coming Sunday. We are in the month of November, the time of the Church Year given over to contemplating the Last Things: Death, Judgment, Heaven, Hell. The Readings this week focus our thoughts on a topic intertwined with each of the Last Things: the Resurrection. They remind us that, as Christians, we are not a people whose hopes are tied to this life. It they were, how sorry we would be!

The ASEAN region has become one of the world's largest car and motorcycle markets as vehicle ownership grows with economic development and rising incomes. Conversely, the automotive industry has also become an important pillar for economic development in several AMS. In terms of the region's energy demand, transport needs a major 27% of which more than 80% stems from cars, trucks and motorcycles. Transport consumes more oil than any other sector in ASEAN. In addition, transport is a fast-growing energy sector, forecasted by the 4th ASEAN Energy Outlook to grow more than 5% each year along with increasing motorisation, ranking second after the industrial sector.
Following global policy trends and based on national energy and environmental concerns, AMS have started to introduce domestic policies to promote improvements in the energy efficiency of vehicles. While AMS appear determined to address transport fuel consumption, the level of ambition, policy approaches and level of progress are varied and diverse across ASEAN, partially due to the different stages of economic development among countries. Learning from the policy efforts in other major automotive markets of the world, there is great opportunity for ASEAN countries to decouple motorisation trends from energy demand and thus grow more sustainably.
Against this background, the Kuala Lumpur Transport Strategic Plan (KLTSP) 2016-2025 set a specific goal on the formulation of a fuel economy roadmap for the transport sector in ASEAN including policy guidelines (ST-1.3.2). Which will be supported through the establishment of a fuel economy platform (ST-1.3.1), also facilitated by TCC. The plan also aims to spur 'support to the development and adoption of nationally appropriate policies for cleaner fuels and vehicles' (ST-1.3.3).
In support of the KLSTP, the TCC project helps selected ASEAN governments in developing and strengthening their fuel economy policies and the underlying data systems through trainings, workshops and expert advice. At the regional level, the project's assistance focuses on realising the development of an ASEAN fuel economy roadmap.
In order to build momentum for change towards higher fuel economy at regional and national level, the project facilitates and engages in interministerial coordination, multistakeholder dialogues and expert networks. We mobilise local and international knowhow and support regional exchange. One exemplary initiative here is the ASEAN fuel economy platform, which is a regional forum of experts from the public sector, the academe, international organisations and NGOs. This platform connects policy and research, allows for peer-learning and drives forward the development of the regional fuel economy roadmap.

1 Plant each of Purple Sage, Sage Grower's Friend and Tricolor Sage.
Purple Sage:
This evergreen, mound-forming herb is very useful in the kitchen. The deep purple leaves and flowers make it very useful for the herbaceous border too. Likes a sunny position in well-drained soil.
Ht: 24in/60cm
Sage Salvia Fortado:
This sage is a pure culinary delight! It is a sterile form that rarely flowers and produces beautiful bushy plants with lots and lots of leaves with a real sagey flavour. A superb plant for the herb garden, container or border.
Tricolor Sage:
Striking, multi-coloured leaves of green, cream and pink make a beautiful combination with many other plants.
Especially good in a container, the leaves can be used in any dish calling for culinary sage.
Height up to 24in/50cm
Beautiful little babies, and growing into big fellas now.
Very tiny and poorly packaged although they have survived. The picture is of the tarragon also ordered in first order but arrived really late and dying and are now dead!
This is a great herb to grow in containers- mint leaves grow fast, they survive well over winter and they grow in a large number of situations- deep shade or full sun.

Make a delicious mushroom soup. Delicous when served with soft fresh bread as a starter or serve in a larger portion to make a light and healthy lunch.

Since Wicca and paganism are very personal faiths, and since there is so much variance in beliefs, I think that all pagans should sit down and put their thoughts about the Divine on paper. I think it should be the first page in anyone's BOS. I wrote this piece to put in my own BOS. Please let me know what you think...
A Statement of My Beliefs
I consider myself an eclectic pagan - primarily shamanic with a little Wicca and Druidry thrown in.
I am not Wiccan. I don't believe that there are only 2 deities, thus I do not worship the Lord and Lady. I am polytheistic, believing in the existence of many gods and feel especially drawn to Celtic beliefs and Native American spirituality. While I do believe in a 3-faced moon-goddess, the Earth Mother, Lugh and many others, the only god I truly worship is the one who called me, my patron, Cernunnos.
My relationship with my god is a complex one. While I love, respect and worship him, I also fear him. I feel that Cernunnos is a very primal deity, a force of nature, and - like nature - is chaotic and unpredictable. He is both light and dark, good and evil, hunter and hunted, life and death. I feel that Cernunnos is related to several other horned deities. These deities include the Horned Lord of the Wiccans, Herne, Actaeon, Hu Gadarn, and Pashupati. I do not, however, feel that he is related to Pan. I have never understood the solar connection many pagans have made for Him. I see Him as many things: the Lord of the Wild Hunt, god of hunters and hunted, lord of animals, guardian of the gate to the afterlife, male fertility personified. But sun god? Nope. I don't see it.
I don't believe in reincarnation or past lives. I find it hard enough to believe that the Divine are cruel enough to make us go through this hell-on-earth once, but to willingly believe that they are sadistic enough to make us come back and endure it time and time again until we somehow "get it right" is just something I can not do. I believe that when we die, we go to the Summer Country - Tir nan Og - where we are reunited with our loved ones and the Divine.
I do not follow the Wiccan law "An it harm none, do as ye will." I feel that light and dark exist side-by-side in nature. Good and bad, life and death. Cruelty and darkness exist in nature just as they do in men. A cat will toy with a mouse for hours before killing it, and a lion will protect its territory. To deny the dark is just as bad and unbalancing as denying the light. I do not condone violence or murder, but I see nothing wrong with using magic to get a little non-violent revenge.
I am not a vegetarian and never will be. The gods, in their wisdom, made us omnivores and I will not turn my back on the wisdom of the gods. I will not, however, ever eat deer meat in honor of my great Horned Lord. I have nothing against hunters and hunting - I know that hunting is necessary in order to prevent over-population. I also know that hunters are special to my God. I, however, am a pacifist and will not take part in the killing.
I don't like anything which even has the flavor of Eastern religions. Things like Aikido, Chakras, Tantras, Mantras, Yoga, Feng Shui, Taoism, Shakti, Reiki, Yin/Yang, I Ching... mere mention of these are enough to make me cringe and instantly lose interest in a conversation. I do, however, like Taiko drumming and am interested in learning more about Pashupati.
I have a deep reverence for life which borders on the silly sometimes.
* I cry if I hit anything with my car.
* I won't use a cut Christmas tree... I cry when I have to carry the poor dead thing out to the curb.
* I have an interest in Bonsai, but I won't try because I'm afraid of killing the poor little trees.
* I often talk to plants and animals.
I have always felt that there was a living, intelligent presence in the woods. I get the distinct impression that it is male - most likely a green man. I do not believe that there is only one green man. I believe that every forest, grove, wood and copse in the world has its own green man. I believe that this green man is the spiritual manifestation of the collective consciousness of all of the plants in the grove, and that it is this spirit's duty to watch over and care for the copse it lives in.
I believe in the sidhe though I don't worship them. I usually find myself looking in the underbrush for eyes looking back at me. I find myself in a state of awe when I'm in the woods..
I have always loved the moon, even before I converted to paganism. Every time I go out the door at night, I always look to see where she is, notice what phase she is in, and pause to admire her beauty. I actually feel disappointment when I look and find she's in the new moon phase. Whenever I see her, I always tell her just how beautiful I think she is. I even find myself at times telling her my deepest thoughts, my deepest secrets, my innermost feelings. I don't consider myself called by the moon, nor do I worship her, but I definitely feel a bond with her. I do not observe Esbats.
I love divination. I work with the Tarot and with the Ogham. I am just starting to get into pendulums. I also have a Ouija board, a black mirror and a crystal ball, though I have not yet mastered the use of them. Astrology, however, bores me to tears.
I am fascinated with Celtic and Native American cultures. I like reading about the Druids and the Shamans. I feel Stonehenge is a holy place and have 2 totem animals: wolf and crow. I also have a faerie spirit guide named Aceros, and a lunar spirit guide I call the White Lady. I feel that Holly and Oak are holy plants for me. I have a staff made of oak and my wand is holly
I practice shamanic drumming and journeying.
Obviously I am not a Wiccan, but I do practice rituals similar to those for the 8 Wiccan Sabbats. I would like to find some way to tie them into the first year of a deer's life since Cernunnos is a stag god, but I can't find a month-by-month description of a deer's first year of life.
When possible, I perform my rituals skyclad, wearing only a torc and bracelet which have been consecrated for ritual use only. I may also wear a Cernunnos mask when it seems appropriate.
I do not believe that my beliefs are the only true and right way to believe. I believe that each of us must observe and do what feels right to us spiritually. We all have a path to walk and we ourselves are the only ones who can determine which path we need to take.
I am interested in learning more about faeire, the Green Man, the Wild Hunt, and the Holly King/Oak King stories. I love wind chimes, fountains, bells, incense and candles. I am especially interested in learning more about primitive forms of worship: drumming, dancing, chanting, masks, face and body painting, tattooing and piercing, etc. I love Celtic music and I am slowly teaching myself to speak Scottish Gaelic. I want to learn more about Spirit Quests and OOBEs.

Okay, I meant to reply to this already last year, but I lacked the time to do so.
I for myself do not think that the first thing in a BOS is supposed to be a statement of belief. That is due to the fact that I strongly believe that belief does change over time as you learn more about the traditions and theories and the history of your faith.
As for me I stared out believing that there were several deities. By now I believe that there's one form of deity and all those names we call the gods and goddesses are just some kind of shortcut, like the direct phone number of some special office in an office building.
So what do I believe?
I do believe that there is some kind of deity, devinity. It inhabits the land, the water, the trees and animals, the air, everything that is around. It's connected to nature, it is nature. And it is us.
I believe that I am part of everything and everything is part of me. I am connected. I know it and very rarely I may also feel it, which does feel unbelievable.
I do believe that Lord and Lady, as you call them, are two parts of that deity. I also call to Lord and Lady, meaning two different aspects of devinity.
I do believe in reincarnation. I really strongly do, for I again and again meet people and feel deeply connected to them. For example I met one of my friends and after half a year it felt as if I had known her forever. By now I know her about 7 years.
I believe that that phenomenon is caused when you find someone whose soul you've known in a past life. With whom you might have experienced some great things during a past life.
I do believe that there are currently several people who gather again and that they do so, because there's something they need to do.
I do not believe in good and evil. Those are terms made and defined by mankind and depend on perspective and the greater context. I therefore am careful with making wishes for myself and others. Whatever I wish might in the long run turn out to be not as positive as I might have thought.
And I do believe in educational measures. Meaning that I won't turn the other cheek when someone slaps me in the face. I try not to be aggressive, but I will stand to fight.
I do believe in the circle of life. I eat meat, I use leather and whatever. I just hope that there's no wasting of what mother earth gives to us and I try to say thanks for whatever I consume once in a while.
I believe that all kinds of believes got some things in common. That's true for the asian systems, for the european and the american systems and all others. That means I use the symbols of my land, of Europe, but I try to also learn about the similarities to other beliefs and in the end, I think, Earth will respond to all of them.
I believe in local spirits, which we call "Ortsgeister". They are connected to some place, they may leave it if they choose to, but usually only do for good reasons. They exist for different reasons, some are strictly natural, while I also know one that's an ancestral spirit. They guard their land, they are guardians, guidances, sorces of knowledge and friends.
I'm not quite sure whether to mention that I believe in leylines. As far as I'm concerned that's nothing to believe in, they are fact.
I greet the spirits, when I encounter them, and I do greet the moon, although I try to keep in mind, that it's not the moon itself I worship, but the principle of life that's so easily visible in her periodic waning and waxing.
Although it's nothing about my belief I might also mention that I am part of a circle, I guess you could call it a coven, we ourselves say "Zirkel" which translates best to circle, I think. We learn together and we celebrate the eight feasts of the year.
It's hard to say what we do practise, since all of us have a different background. I usually also refrain from saying that I'm wicca and settle with the word pagan, leaving the rest open.
Okay, that's all I can think of right now, I might come back and add something, though.
I'd be interested in how your "similar rituals" as you say differ from the wiccan versions, Wizard. So I'd be glad if you cared to explain.

I consider myself a Celtic Christian.I beleive in one God although he is part of the Holy Trinity-the three in one- The Son , the Father and the Holy Ghost. I see God in everything whether land ,water and wildlife, as He created all things even the herbs for healing.God has many angels which make themselves known to us at times.All things are available to us as food that is why we say thanks before eating.All things have worth.I do not beleive that the old gods are evil, although I beleive satan/Lucifer/Beelzebub exists.To my thinking folk like Tuatha De Danaan did wander the earth as did the Norse deities and the Greek. as it states in the Bible in Genesis Chapter 6 "that there was giants in the land, who were there before the flood and after. One of which was Nimrod the great Hunter. These were the "Nephalim".Esp verse 4 "They were the men of renown, the heroes of old". I beleive as the Celts do not in heaven as such, but as a place of blessedness-the otherworld. if one does good in this world then eternity will be blessed alternatively if one does bad things in this world then the otherworld will noy be a good place to be. I also beleive that Christianity has nothing to do with man made religion such as protentasim or catholicism. Jesus Christ is above these things, belief in Him is not about legalistic rules and rituals. His message is about love, for one another, about looking after the environment, people, discussion rather than fighting. Not killing, not cheating one another and on not cheating on your wife. Not being materialistic or wanting what you cant have. It is about being content, spending time with family, treating employees with respect and equaly.I could go on for hours, but i think you know where I am coming from.

It's been a couple years since I've been here...
I'm a Christian Mystick. In shorthand, I'm a Christian who believes in and practices magick. That's severe shorthand. And not to be mistaken with Christian mystic. As everyone can tell you, the spelling makes all the difference.
I serve but one Deity. God. And I'm not talking about how mainstream Christianity explains Him, because honestly, that's a severe limitation about that, and besides, for being the PR of the Divine, they get things assbackwards. God - Who I name the Eternal, Illuvatar, Eru, the One, the One-Above-All, you get the idea - is far too big a Spirit: the biggest there is, to be copyrighted by any one belief. Call Him Ahura Mazda, the Great Spirit, the Goddess, etc. She encompasses both genders, and It really is neither at the same time, so if He's not worried about it, and She's not, then why are we? Move along folks.
I believe in God as the holy Trinity - Father, Son, Holy spirit - and that She came down in flesh as Jesus. Why doe this sound impossible to some people. This is the Eternal we're talking about. It can do anything He likes and wants and needs to do, because frankly speaking, She Is What It Is. You follow me? Good.
That being said, I believe in the existence of all other deities. I do and don't ascribe to the philosophy that all deities are but the One. Because that takes away from variety, and the Creator loves variety. I believe in a certain hierarchy. The Angels, of course. Then a singular group of High Gods who serve as personifications of the different aspects of Reality. And then the regular gods, with each God corresponding to a particular High God that they answer to. Then demigods that do the same. And that in one way or another each has their job and part in watching over different areas, aspects regions and personalities of Reality. Like a philosophy goes, there is a spirit to everything.
I believe in the Good people of the Native Americans, the Fae of the Isles, the unseen people of the Orient, etc. I believe in the existence of demons, as I've fought a few minor ones. I talk with the trees. Stood in battle with the Morrigan, chatting briefly with the Green Man, trying to peg down Hekate for some mead, ran into Cernnunous briefly, nearly got set up on a date with one of Orion's earthly daughters by Orion himself, am on family terms with the majority of the personifications, etc. etc. etc.
I am a minister, mage, and sorceror. Wanderer and rover. Traveller and seeker. Cartographer and heraldrist. Vexillologist and scolar. Book geek and warrior. Guardian and leader of a micronation. Learner and elementalist. Some call me a shaman, walk-in, and wise man,... though that's in the eye of the beholder, honestly. I just figure I know enough to know better.
I hold the Bible, the Koran, the Vedas, the works of Tolkien, the works of Robert Jordan, Werewolf the Apocalypse, Wraith the Oblivion, Changeling the Dreaming, Vampire the Masquerade, Mage the Ascension, and all their sourcebooks as being sacred. You might call any or all of them fiction,... but there's cores of truth to every fiction: some larger than others. Oh yeah, and don't forget the Chronicles of Narnia, the works of Terry Brooks, His Dark Materials, among some of my holy and semi-holy books. They parallel too much in reality for it to ever be completely made up. At least in mine and others' opinions.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAND The Dresden Files too!
To put it shortly, as this is just another nutshell, there's little that I wouldn't believe in, and even less that would surprise me. I've seen too much, fought too much, died too much, came back too much, and live too much to disbelieve much of it at all. Just think of the parable of the Six Blind Men and the elephant, and then sit back and take a better look at Reality.
And tell me what YOU see.
Good Dreaming and Blessed Be.
There's magick in believing...

Hello Everyone,
Wizard : I think you are correct that everyone should define their faith, and should define it yearly.
I am a pagan, started off as a Wiccan, and still hold some of the Wiccan beliefs, but I have grown from there. When i have more time I will share my take on things.
I thought I would share a comment that I took to heart many moons ago.
Where you find truth use it.
Brightest Blessings!
