NEVER MOCK GOD!

im a little on the spiritual side today
so heres one..
Make a personal reflection.

Very interesting, read until
the end...

It is written in the Bible (Galatians 6:7): "Be not deceived; God is
not
mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.

Here are some men and women who mocked God:

CHRIS MURUNGARU:
In Kenya , when some govt ministers ganged up against a
State-sponsored
draft constitution in 2005, the then minister for Internal Security
Dr .
Chris Ndarathi Murungaru said: "Hata shetani mwenyewe anajua hii
katiba
ni nzuri (even satan himself knew it was good for the country.
God loved the country so much that, although the rebel ministers
campaigned using rhetoric words, the govt failed to deliver a
constitution
for the country. he could not have allowed it to have a constitution
that
has been ratified by the devil.
Murungaru was later to be sacked after being implicated in grand
corruption. He has also been banned from setting foot in the US and
UK.

JOHN LENNON:
Some years before, during his interview with an American Magazine, he
said:

"Christianity will end, it will disappear. I do not have to argue
about
that. I am certain. Jesus was OK, but his subjects were too simple,
Today
we are more famous than Him" (1966). Lennon, after saying that the
Beatles were more famous than Jesus Christ, was shot six times.

TANCREDO NEVES (President of Brazil):
During the Presidential campaign, he said if he got 500,000 votes
from
his party, not even God would remove him from Presidency.
Sure he got the votes, but he got sick a day before being made
President,
then he died.

CAZUZA (Bi-sexual Brazilian composer, singer and poet):
During a show in Cane cão ( Rio de Janeiro ), whilst smoking
his
cigarette, he puffed out some smoke into the air and said:
"God, that's for you."
He died at the age of 32 of AIDS in a horrible manner.

THE MAN WHO BUILT TITANIC:
After the construction of Ti tanic, a reporter asked him how safe the
Titanic would be. With an ironic tone he said:
"Not even God can sink it"
The result: I think you all know what happened to the Titanic.

MARILYN MONROE:
She was visited by Billy Graham during a presentation of a show. He
said
the Spirit of God had sent him to preach to her. After hearing what
the
Preacher had to say, she said:
"I don't need your Jesus."
A week later, she
was found dead in her apartment.

BON SCOTT:
The ex-vocalist of the AC/DC. On one of his 1979 songs he sang:
"Don't stop me, I'm going down all the way, down the highway to
hell.."

On the 19th of February 1980 , Bon Scott was found dead, he had
been
choked by his own vomit.

CAMPINAS/SP IN 2005
In Campinas, Brazil a group of friends, drunk, went to pick up a
friend.
The mother accompanied her to the car and was so worried about the
drunkenness of her friends and she said to the daughter - holding
her
hand, who was already seated in the car:
"MY DAUGHTER, GO WITH GOD AND MAY HE PROTECT YOU."
She responded:
"ONLY IF HE (GOD) TRAVELS IN THE BOOT, CAUSE INSIDE HERE IT'S
ALREADY
FULL"
Hours later, news came by that they had been involved in a fatal
accident, everyone had died, the car could not be recognized what
type of
car it had been, but surprisingly, the boot was intact. The police
said
there was no way the boot could have remained intact. To their
surprise,
inside the boot was a crate of eggs, none were broken.....

Boot means trunk .

Many more important people have forgotten that there is no other
name
that was given so much authority as the name o f Jesus. Many have
died
but only Jesus died and rose again, and he is still alive.

JESUS!!!

Luo love letter:

To my dearest, sweetest, fondest, fantastic, extra-ordinary, paragon of beauty a.k.a. Rosiey. I hope this missive meets you in a fabulous state of metabolism, if so doxology. My principal aim of writing this letter to you is to gravitate your mind towards a matter of global and universal importance to my ego which has been troubling my soul. The matter is so important that even as I am writing my adrenalin is rocking 100 on the Reitcher scale, my temperature is rising, the wind vane of my mind is pointing North, South and East at the same time while the convex mirror in my eyes has only your divine image at it's focal point.

Indeed when I sleep you are the one in my medulla oblongata and I dream about you. I went out to sea in my dream and I saw you; surrounded by H20 and you, your majesty rose from the abdomen of the sea like Yemoja, the avatar of beauty.

Oh, Lord be with us! We are thy servants! As you can see, I am in a serious dilemma and I want you to take my matter seriously. At this junction what our Lord said on this matter is germane. He says we should ask and we shall be given, we should seek and we will find, and that we should knock and it will be opened unto us. I am- on this 24th day of the tenth month in the year of our Lord, two thousand and three - asking, seeking and knocking at your door. My prayer is that thou should open so that thy servant can enter. I want to wake up in the morning and see only your face. I want you to be the only sugar in my tea, the only fly in my ointment, the butter on my bread, the gray matter of my system, the oxygen in my lungs, the planet of my universe, the wall clock of my room and the conveyor belt of my soul.

I pray that you realize the gargantuan nature of my predicament. If you refuse, my life will be like tea without sugar, like a snail without shell, a Xmas goat without a horn; in fact I'll become an orphan. What is life if I can't wake up in the morning and behold your face? You model of pulchritude, patiently created by God on a Sunday morning before he went on a deserved holiday. Please Lizzie, let me be your Romeo. Make me your Adam oh my Eve, for you were made for me. Shakespeare said it all: If music be the food of love, play on. I want to emphasize, universally and responsibly, that you are love itself. You are the metaphor, oxymoron, thesis, antithesis, irony, gerund, conjunction and the adverb of love. Let me also say that the geography of your body is a permanent alleluia. Your body exudes not ammonia, urea and iodine - You are too beautiful for that! What I see in your body is milk and honey.

At this juncture brevity is the soul of wit. A stitch in time saves nine. Procrastination is the thief of time. An opportunity once lost can never be regained. Make hay while the sun shines. All that glitters is not gold. The journey of a thousand miles begins but with a single step. What God has put together let no man put asunder. To be a man is not an easy task even if God's time is the best. But time waits for no man. A man without love is like a fish out of water.

I know you are a sagacious girl. If you like the veracity of what I am saying, please fill the attached form and let me have it pronto. The mark at the bottom of this page is a kiss from me to you.

I remain, Your beloved, faithful, loyal, One and only admirer.

The school of plain shmucks!

I’ve got this pal. Call him Adam. I love him to death because he is always a riotous source of amusement
And
He looks like me (yet my ways are completely lost in him!)

He can be a real jerk once he sets his mind to it (sorry dude…still got mad luv) and just recently he effectively managed to show me that he was capable of going much much lower.

I had just woken up preparing to celebrate another day of God’s green earth…
Taking deep breathes, listening to the birds’ sing and yada yada yada.
But all this is brought to a sudden unwelcome halt by a bang against the window!

It was a freakin 6 in the freakin morning!!!


D : (genuinely shocked)What the hell?!

A little tip Adam, the whole stalking thing works
Infinitely better when you don’t actually smash your face in the window

A : cut it man…I’m in a serious dilemma.

D : you and me both.

Can’t figure out if I should call law enforcement or plainly whack you myself!

A : it’s about Eve…she’s causing me major frustrations!

Now for some bizarre unexplainable reason, friends seem to be more than a little fond of my company when they feel the need to vent.

With bags under thy eyes and a sudden look of fatigue, I slouched into the first thing I calculated could fit this fine behind.

D : ‘supp?

A : si I told you about how Eve doesn’t give me any?

D : the chilling for marriage thing…vaguely remember something to that effect .

A : can’t do it anymore, it’s been three years now…I just can’t

D: and…so?

A : so in good faith(?) I told her. I said I still loved her to death and still respected
her abstinence crusade but I could be a follower no more.
It’s not that I wanted us to call it quits…she is still the one for me.
Anyhow, I know this other lady who is quite lonely,
she agreed to us having physical relations bila any other ties…I told Eve
About it and even suggested we visit a VCT center to get tested for sexually
transmitted diseases and all.
I was open and honest…I thought that’s what you women want from a guy
And do you know how the woman responded?

She blew in the roof! Damn near gave me a heart attack, and now our relationship is
In some strange twilight zone.
She’s refused to talk to me!
Now what does she want?
Can you talk some sense into her?

And he said all this with a candid face!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
from the bottom of his heart, he could not comprehend why miss Eve was so affronted by this and he was
Very bluntly asking me for backing in any way.

I had to draw up all ounces of endurance I had for the day to control myself from turning the air blue and pouncing on the fellow, removing his liver through his throat with a fish hook and subsequently whacking him over the head with it!

The Emotional Affair: When Friendship Goes Too Far

It begins innocently – You talk about the events of the day, your interests, share funny stories. Pretty soon you’re discussing the passions of your heart and confiding in each other about the problems in your marriages. What began as an innocent friendship with someone of the opposite sex has quickly become an emotional affair. And if you’re not careful, it could mushroom into a full-blown physical affair.

Of course, most of us have friends of the opposite sex and never stumble into an affair. But it can be easier than you think to cross the line in those kinds of friendships. That’s why you need appropriate boundaries with opposite-sex friends and you need to guard your heart – and the heart of your marriage!

We live in a culture that is largely hostile to biblical truth, moral purity and marital fidelity. Our hearts are continuously bombarded by temptations from our human nature, our culture, and the devil himself. Here are three things you can count on:

1. You have a marriage relationship that is worth guarding with your life.

2. Living in a world that is largely hostile to healthy marriages, your hearts will come under attack.

3. You cannot survive these attacks on your own. You and your spouse must stand together against your common foe. You must guard your heart and guard each other’s heart. And you need others to stand with you over the long haul – Christians who share your desire for a divorce-proof marriage.

Men: It can be especially easy for you to begin capturing another woman’s heart without even realizing it. You may think you’re just having an enjoyable conversation with a coworker, but it may be the only attention that woman has had all week. Before you know it, your conversations move from friendly chatter to intimate subjects. We’re not suggesting men can’t have friendships with other women, but we are warning it can be easier than you think to cross the line.

Think of it this way: If this woman invited you into her house and the two of you were along, would the topics and conversation stay the same as they do in public or with other people? And here’s a word of advice for you guys: Trust your wife’s instincts in this area. If your wife suggests another woman is behaving inappropriately, she is probably right. Most women have radar, an innate alertness to nonverbal communication and an ability to translate body language into emotional facts. Your wife probably is able to see these things clearly. Regard it as a gift from God that will keep you out of danger.

Women: you need to know that for you, as well as men, adultery begins in the heart. Be careful you are not lured away from your marriage by a man’s tenderness, openness, warmth, personality, and attentiveness. When you sense that someone else is captivating your heart, when this attraction results in increased disappointment or frustration toward your husband, or when you begin to dwell on or act out your fascination, it’s time to confront the threat.

Here are several practical tips that will help you guard your heart in your friendships.

1. Dismiss and replace tempting thoughts. Don’t allow any unwholesome thoughts to make a home in your mind. If those thoughts enter your mind, it’s time to look away or leave the room. If you can’t leave, shift your focus away from that person by thinking of your spouse. Start praying for your spouse and your kids. Wrong thoughts don’t easily coexist with sincere prayer.

2. Don’t gaze too long into the windows of the soul. Eye contact in a conversation is good. But if you catch a look that is too intense, too engaging, or makes you uncomfortable, avert your eyes and resist that gaze. A deep gaze can stir something in one or both of you, something you don’t want stirred up. Save that eye contact for one person: your spouse.

3. Don’t go out of your way to see or meet someone. Don’t take a different hallway back to your office just to encounter that attractive new employee. Don’t select a seat in church because it is near that person who loves to talk to you after the service. Don’t linger after a meeting hoping to be noticed by that certain person. And don’t meet with a tempting person privately, even if the purpose is legitimate. Invite your spouse to come along, meet with a larger group, or meet in a public place where you are never alone.

4. Be careful with physical touch. You may like to shake your friends’ hands or even sometimes give them a hug, and you may be very affectionate with your family. But no matter how affectionate you are at home, you need a different standard with members of the opposite sex. Here’s a helpful question to ask yourself: If your spouse, your children, your mother and Jesus were in the room watching you give that hug or pat, would they heartily approve? If not, don’t do it.

5. Keep conversation general. Many affairs are started or fueled when a man and woman who are not married to each other talk about their personal lives. Talk about the weather, work, the new pastor, the news, and the like. But if the other person starts sharing something of a personal nature – even if disguising it as a "prayer request" – redirect or terminate the conversation.

6. When all else fails, run for your moral life. If for some reason you find yourself in a compromising situation with someone of the opposite sex, immediately and physically remove yourself from that situation. You don’t have to explain or apologize. And don’t let the other person convince you it’s no big deal. Do what Joseph in the Old Testament did when Potipher’s wife attempted to seduce him: drop everything and run.

You can say no to the threats to your own marriage by guarding your heart, and standing strong for a godly marriage

on another note:


A Kikuyu and Dr. Onyango go on a camping trip, set up their tent, and
fall asleep. Some hours later, the Kikuyu wakes his faithful friend.


"Dr. Onyango, look up at the sky and tell me what you see." Dr. Onyango
replies, "I see millions of stars." "What does that tell you?"


Dr. Onyango ponders for a minute.


"Astronomically speaking, it tells me that there are millions of galaxies
and potentially billions of planets.
Astrologically, it tells me that Saturn is in Leo. Time wise, it appears
to
be approximately a quarter past three. Theologically, it's evident the
Lord
is all-powerful and we are small and insignificant.
Meteorologically, it seems we will have a beautiful day tomorrow.


or What does it tell you, Mr. Kukuyu?"


The Kikuyu is silent for a moment, then speaks. "Dr. Onyango, you
idiot,>kubafu, foko jebe, brari uji baridi! someone has stolen our
tent!!!!."

Out of the hive and into the ???

In a months time I’ll be forced to leave the comforts of home and branch out on my own in a foreign land.
I cannot admit to being excited because in all honesty…it is not exciting.

A bit nerve wrecking (damn visa…damn passport…damn government offices and ’cers)
A bit saddening (pals and compadreez I will be forced to part with-and of course le familia)
A bit cautioning
A bit expensive (hell it’s a lot!)
Exciting? Eehhh…. no
A bit challenging (my choice of study is a bit…ummn…not quite comforting)

It is not that I am a sourpuss or anti-progressive. On the contrary I’m all for moving forward and all…just a bit reluctant.
Anyway,
I am on the verge of sending myself to sleep.

Stroke of wisdom:
Whatever is worth doing at all is worth doing well

World of the ugly.

I m deficient of huge chunks of inspiration today.
The primary cause?
A fellow best described as interesting enough to be worthy…no…in need of scientific research.

I have bin, and still am on the path of self-searching…knowing thyself and all.
I have found nothing major to complaint about and 48hours ago I was very much at peace
and quit honestly content with the person my dear parents have raised me to become.

But this fellow-lets call him Epson-who I have not had the burden of knowing more than 365 days (310 of which lacked any forms of interaction) had the foolhardy to tell me I had no idea who I was?!?!?!?

He called me up and asked if we could casually meet.

I was not working or out of town, my girlfriends were busy,
my laundry was done, I was not sick and there was nothing on TV.
So I accepted to meet up for a couple of minutes.

Epson behaved on average for the first couple of minutes.
I cannot in truth remember the blow-by-blow details; they in all sincerity passed me by
But I vaguely remember the smile followed by allegations.
Which began as inclinations and suggestions.

I told him I wasn’t a fan of such and the conversation would be extremely fruitful if he outright said what he had wanted to say
He did
And what he said struck me as being a quintessentially bullshit statement of absolutely zero value.
I had to bite my tongue just to make sure I had dreamed myself into a twilight zone of some kind. I had not.

I negotiated a response: Burst into laughter or just plainly burst into laughter.

The last law of C: the stimulus effect of a dumb statement is always a dumber feat.

It was a thoughtless, unsubstantial and downright spiteful thing to listen to.
And when I calmly queried as to the roots of his conclusions, he garbled something that was nothing short of utter hogwash = crap!

Really, What do u do to this nutcase who is convinced u are of horrifying character and desperately tries to sell the same tale to friends you hold dearly and vice versa?
Thank God have known me since forever.

Despite the strong itchiness I choose either plans and simply expressed my disappointment. I had thought he was one of those amazing people one needs to know.
Amazingly not!

And now it’s affecting me more than I would like

The banana metaphor contest

After reading this, you’ll NEVER look at a banana in the same way again!
Bananas contain three natural sugars - sucrose, fructose and glucose
combined with fiber, a banana gives an instant, sustained and substantial
boost of energy. Research has proven that just two bananas provide enough
energy for a strenuous 90-minute workout. No wonder the banana is the
number one fruit with the world’s leading athletes. But energy isn’t the
only way a banana can help us keep fit. It can also help overcome or
prevent a substantial number of illnesses and conditions, making it a must
to add to our daily diet.
Depression:
According to a recent survey undertaken by MIND among people suffering from
depression, many felt much better after eating a banana. This is because
bananas contain tryptophan, a type of protein that the body converts into
serotonin, known to make you relax, improve your mood and generally make
you feel happier.
PMS:
Forget the pills — eat a banana. The vitamin B6 it contains regulates
blood glucose levels, which can affect your mood.
Anemia:
High in iron, bananas can stimulate the production of hemoglobin in the
blood and so helps in cases of anemia.
Blood Pressure:
This unique tropical fruit is extremely high in potassium yet low in salt,
making it the perfect way to beat blood pressure. So much so, the US Food
and Drug Administration has just allowed the banana industry to make
official claims for the fruit’s ability to reduce the risk of blood
pressure and stroke.
Brain Power:
200 students at a Twickenham (Middlesex) school were helped through their
exams this year by eating bananas at breakfast, break, and lunch in a bid
to boost their brainpower. Research has shown that the potassium-packed
fruit can assist learning by making pupils more alert.
Constipation:
High in fiber, including bananas in the diet can help restore normal bowel
action, helping to overcome the problem without resorting to laxatives.
Hangovers:
One of the quickest ways of curing a hangover is to make a banana
milkshake, sweetened with honey. The banana calms the stomach and, with
the help of the honey, builds up depleted blood sugar levels, while the
milk soothes and re-hydrates your system.
Heartburn:
Bananas have a natural antacid effect in the body; so if you suffer from
heartburn, try eating a banana for soothing relief.
Morning Sickness:
Snacking on bananas between meals helps to keep blood sugar levels up and
avoid morning sickness.
Mosquito bites:
Before reaching for the insect bite cream, try rubbing the affected area
with the inside of a banana skin. Many people find it amazingly successful
at reducing swelling and irritation.
Nerves:
Bananas are high in B vitamins that help calm the nervous system.
Overweight and at work?
Studies at the Institute of Psychology in Austria found pressure at work
leads to gorging on comfort food like chocolate and chips. Looking at 5,000
hospital patients, researchers found the most obese were more likely to be
in high-pressure jobs. The report concluded that, to avoid panic-induced
food cravings, we need to control our blood sugar levels by snacking on
high carbohydrate foods (i.e bananas) every two hours to keep levels steady.
Ulcers:
The banana is used as the dietary food against intestinal disorders because
of its soft texture and smoothness. It is the only raw fruit that can be
eaten without distress in over-chronicler cases. It also neutralizes
over-acidity and reduces irritation by coating the lining of the stomach.
Temperature control:
Many other cultures see bananas as a “cooling” fruit that can lower both
the physical and emotional temperature of expectant mothers. In Thailand,
for example, pregnant women eat bananas to ensure their baby is born with a
cool temperature.
Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD):
Bananas can help SAD sufferers because they contain the natural mood
enhancer tryptophan.
Smoking:
Bananas can also help people trying to give up smoking. The B6, B12 they
contain, as well as the potassium and magnesium found in them, help the
body recover from the effects of nicotine withdrawal.
Stress:
Potassium is a vital mineral, which helps normalize the heartbeat, sends
oxygen to the brain and regulates your body’s water balance. When we are
stressed, our metabolic rate rises, thereby reducing our potassium
levels. These can be rebalanced with the help of a high-potassium banana
snack.
Strokes:
According to research in “The New England Journal of Medicine,” eating
bananas as part of a regular diet can cut the risk of death by strokes by
as much as 40%!
So, a banana really is a natural remedy for many ills. When you compare it
to an apple, it has four times the protein, twice the carbohydrates, three
times the phosphorus, five times the vitamin A and iron, and twice the
other vitamins and minerals. It is also rich in potassium and is one of
the best value foods around.
“Wow!” is all I have to say about that.

Reference

This young D(arling) decided to begin blogging primarily as:

*She can (I strongly believe this should be standard motivation for anything and everything)

*What I say could go a long way in filling someone’s knowledge gap – and vice versa

*Why not?

*To be heard!

*Peer pressure at its peak. A certain shrink pal has been sitting up my head it for the past week, ati I’ve got a disturbing tendency of bottling up issues (read to much drama).
