Hanging out

House-cleaned today. Just made some no-bake cookies that Britter gave me the recipie for yesterday. Yumyumyum!!! We're gonna have them for tea. Now I'm not really doing anything. It's all settled... 2:00 tomorrow at JC Penney's my hair is coming off at the hands of Brooka:P Wheehee! I hope I'll like it. I know I probably won't at first it takes me awhile to get used to it!!! I'll cry probably even!

Real fun and true Newsboys song:

Newsboys - Wherever We Go From the album GO
Wherever we go, bluebirds sing And the flowers bloom And the grass gets green It’s a curious thing But it’s just our thing

Wherever we go, the bees behave In the treetops, squirrels smile and wave It’s a curious thing And it’s humbling

Where we go, little glow-worms glow Little roadrunners run ahead. Gonna tell their friends Little mice, little men Get ‘em all excited All invited

Chorus:

Hands up Holler back here Let’s throw this party in gear We brought the welcome mat. Wherever we go, that’s where the party’s at. Hands up Holler back now We don’t claim any know-how. We’re giving God all that. Wherever we go, that’s where the party’s at

Wherever we go, the dumb get wise And the crime rates drop And the markets rise It’s a curious thing But it’s just our thing

Bullies make nice, crooks repent And the ozone layer shows improvement It’s a curious thing And it’s humbling

Wherever we’re led All the Living Dead Wanna leave their Zombie Mob. It’s a touching scene when they all come clean God help us, we just love our job!

(Chorus)

Another Meltal-mouth!!!

Lane got BRACES TODAY!!!!!!!! Just the top. Red and pink for Valentine's Day just like I did! They were kinda sore tonight at dinner so we made her fruit into a smoothie. Yummy! That made everybody else want one too so the blender was humming and boys were slurping and everybody was talking while YOU were eating a nice, quiet, normal dinner with your family lol!:P Making a wooden sword right now. Big and pretty cool. Painted half the blade silver today. How's school going? Not bad here! It's settled: I am going probably on Friday to get my hair cut like Britter's at JC Penny. Kinda scary losing all that hair so quick! Mom's gonna highlight it in red after that. She did Laura's and Mrs. Jodie's the other day and it turned out pretty good! Almost done reading ROSE IN BLOOM. Like it lots! Anyone read it? Read 8 COUSINS then you should! Reading UNDER THE LILACS out loud. So funny and cute! Anyone read MR. POPPER'S PENGUINS? Sounds 2nd grade I know but Mom says it's actually pretty funny! Think we'll read that one next.

Something cool to do with sibs is have like a crack in the dresser or something that paper fits in and call it your mailbox. All of us girls have one now. Haven't gotten mail yet we just set it up yesterday. Weather has been kinder of late. Farethewell! Rambley Me.

The Case for a CREATOR part 1

Our Pastor has started this awesome series called "the Case for a Creator". It's a thing on Creation vs. Evolution I'm gonna give ya notes on. He acually started 2 weeks ago, but I'm getting around to putting it on here. It'll probably happen again sometime!

PART 1: "Creation: It's Foundational"

The Bible has Foundations

First is the doctrine of Creation
Second is the doctrine of Resurrection
What happens if these 2 doctrines fail?
If man just "happened" then:
There is no Creator
There is no eternal home
Death is the end of all things
There is no moral absolutes
There is no accountability to a higher authority
Life has no meaning
(Not very pleasant thoughts huh.)

The Alternative to the Creation Account is Darwinism or Evolution

The goal is to destroy in the heart's of men the concept of creation
This is a major goal of the enemy
Man is relieved of the idea that he is under any ultimate authority
Man is relieved of the idea that he is under any ultimate accountability
Man becomes a creature of chance rather than being created in the image of God (So we're just nobodys and this life is it?)
Absolute truth and absolute moral standards are erased
We see the effects of this in our culture today on every hand
It is the basis of a divided culture over so many issues
This issue is the root issue of our time

Indoctrination of Culture

Look closely
It is woven into the fabric of much of our secular education
Not just in biology or sciences
It even effects the way we interpret history, and makes revisions of history
Our children are under the influence and so are we
Media, enertainment and basic culture are inundated with the idea of evolution (Tell me about it)
The most damging ideologies and movements of the 20th century can be traced to Darwinism
The dots can be connected to Marx and even foundational ideas in Hitler's ideology

The Current Condition of our Time

Generally, people still believe that human life is special
People still hold to basic Biblical morality
That love is a virtue
That service and kindness is better than cold blooded domination
But to whatever degree our secular society holds to these things, it does so without spiritual foundation
Today, even many in the church seem to be too intimidated and embarrassed to defend the Biblical account
The church is confused by the mutitude of "authoritative voices" who insist the Bible is either allegory or mistaken
Some are reduced to accommodating the world with a theistic evolutionary position

It's Just a Theory

Naturalism'd formula for the orgin of the universe is: NOBODY + NOTHING=EVERYTHING (that brought a laugh)
What about the big bang?
What was the cause of the big bang?
What went BANG?
Where di the bang substance come from?
How did order come out of chaos? ( Have you ever wrecked your house SO bad everything was where it goes?)
How did beauty and design come out of random chance?
How did life come out of non-life and death?
Who designed the many complex organisms?
Who designed the sophisticated eco-systems?
Where did intelligence come from?
Does the universe have an impersonal intelligence of it's own?
Where di the Laws of nature come from?
These are all basic unanswered questions that are quickly swept aside
The naturalist has an array of insurmountable problems to explain

Naturalism and Modern Culture

Thanks to evolution naturalism is now the dominant religion
Naturalism has replaced Christianity as the main religion of the western world
Evolution is the central doctrine of this religion
*It is religion because it is based on faith
*The idea that natural causes can account for the orgin of all life and order has never been and never will be proven (Amen to that!)
*Science deals with what can be observed and reproduced by experimentation
*The orgin of life can neither be observed or reproduced in the lab
*Belief in evolution is sheer faith (Takes more faith to believe everything "happened" than to believe in an all-powerful Creator!)
*But modern naturalism is extremely evangelistic is the propagation of evolution


I'll post the other one later. Time for tea and I have hand cramps!:P Meggy T

Shopped yesterday. Funfunfun! Afterwards Dad & Lane met us for Andy's concert @ Sweet Bay. Funfunfun too! He's good!

Been thinking..."what was I created for?" If you were to die right now what would you have accomplished in your life? Don't think I'm dying anytime soon because if I did there would not have been a whole lot of reason for God to go and create another person for what I did. OK that did NOT make sense! Point of the last sentence was I don't think I've done anything spectacular. Or maybe I have and don't know it. So if I die tomorrow just know I'm asking God what His idea was in putting me on earth!

Little side note I've been meaning to put but pretty late. If you don't care about football skip this part. Brett Favre is gone forever.Weeping and sadness! After playing as #4 QB for the Green Bay Packers for........somthingteen years! How shall the man ever be replaced? Who's gonna be my favorite player now? Ah well. I guess the age of Peyton Manning has arrived!:P Whoever my favorite is it's their age - whether they stink or not! How come my favorite team doesn't do so good? The teams I don't like end up being STARS! I mean what's with the Steelers anyway? Enough of this.

May God richly bless you and protect your favorite Quarterbacks from the vile serpent RETIREMENT!!!:P

Like the Picture?

It is me on my new throne on Christmas Day. Dad set it up last night. Turns out I tried to put a little banner thing on it and apparently put it in the wrong spot. And.....it messed everything up! Dads are handy! Haven't posted in awhile.
As of right now I cannot get to anyone's xanga. I hope to soon! Keep commenting people! Was gonna party with Britter but she got sick! Rats! Are you better yet? Went to Book Study at the Wingmen's instead. Still fun! Can't wait until the next high school fellowship! Should be even more fun!
I am currently reading a book all girls have GOT to read! AUTHENTIC BEAUTY by Leslie Ludy. Got it for my b-day along with I KISSED DATING GOODBYE by Joshua Harris I think. Haven't started that one yet. Glad its Saturday. Wet and Rainy and Nice. No school. Ahhhhh... To whoever's idea it was to have two rest days I think it is great idea. I bet everybody loves their Saturdays!!! Speaking of great ideas, I think somebody should invent an everything pot. So you don't have to wash 2 dozen different ones. Ya know, microwaveable, ovenable, stoveable, etc. (Meggy language):P
I go! Be Blessed

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!!!!!

Just as we get used to writing "06" we have to write "07"! Wingmen came over last night and we ate better than we did on Christmas! Meatballs and Hot Wings and veggies and chips and dips. Can't forget brownies! We ate and talked then we all played Apples to Apples and JA won. Pretty fun anyway!:P We talked the Dads into playing Lord of the Rings Trivia with us. Mr. Wingman & Dad were on a team, JT and Ronaldo were on a team, Lane and I were on a team, and JA was on a team. His own team. Think he liked that. So we have the Dads, The boys, the ladies, and the JA. The Dads were saying that they weren't very good but after they took 5 minutes to answer each question they got most of them right! But the boys were the first ones to acually get a FOR THE WIN question! Dad was saying, "I'd be so funny if they won!" But they got their question wrong. Should've seen JT's face!:D Ladies got one next and I dunno what happened. It was an easy one too and we missed it! Then the Dads got theirs and got the easiest one of all and they got it. Yelling and dancing and jumping and escatcy! I'm glad JA just didn't win and he was glad I didn't. So the games go on! They left aroud 11 and we watched Ice Age The Meltdown for the rest of the time. Funfunfun! It's another year closer until Jesus comes back! Comment me!

PS - Just thinking. Can gnats see germs? I mean us to a gnat has gotta be somewhere around the same as a gnat to a germ. Comment me on THAT!
