For SNL's Pete Davidson
I was reading his bio and heard that his father died in the World Trade Center when he was only Seven. I heard it causerd him trauma. I wanted to say to him that he might be further comforted from any he has already received to realize that his dad did not die as a victim, since he was a firefighter, but as a very brave man who was willing to give up his life for others. And so it may help then to realize that he willingly went there as an aid to the whole situation, and that the perps were not killing him, but he willingly lost his life to help people. And for that Mr. Davidson ought to be very proud of his dad. He was one of our brave men. In the coming years, I'm going to expect to see that same courage in Pete.

SNL sketch idea: Immigration and Naturalization class
There the instructor tells them: "Now here's the deal. You can't live here unless you prove that you are going to really live life, unless you will remain a free soul, and unless you pursue happiness. And you must be brave. Otherwise, we WILL deport you."

More Media Crap
Headline this morning in our StarTribune, Minneapolis is that crime rages on but arrests are less, what? So you want us to get all afraid, right? Ach. From just living out west, the wild wild west I know that our stable beginnings here in Minnesota, with very down home, genuine, humble Scandinavians moving here mainly for celestial articles, not material, and being hard working and not looking for instant wealth, that this area is STILL more stable and sane than in other parts of the country. Of COURSE madness has seized upon us all and I do believe we DO have much corruption in our law enforcment, yet, it has been a relief to be back here, believe it or not! So don't believe the hype!

SNL Ad idea : Unusual Hallmark Christmas Cards
like, on the front of the card is a cute holiday picture, on the inside it says, "May your holidays be filled with horror unspeakable." They could be revenge cards, getting back at someone cards, etc. and the person opening them first thinks, ah, nice, then read the rest and have a shocked expression, haha
SNL sketch idea, Black Hallmark
Since Hallmark movies tend to be very white, but also most of the time droll repeats of a similar theme and annoying as all hell, why not do a Black Hallmark Christmas movie, or advertise a new Black Hallmark channel and have the movies be a lot of black lingo and stuff but they have to be one is just like another, or something like that, or if it's black maybe it's now they are not cookie cutter anymore.
What if Wright was a White guy?
I can just imagine the uproar if Wright in Brooklyn Center Minnesota was white!!! How can you shoot, once, into the heart with a gun while believing you are tasing someone? Not to mention all the other things she did, or didn't do--didn't assist him after his car spun out of control, etc. It looks like her hatred truly got the best of Potter. Someone on her "side" said she had never needed to use a gun all those years--she didn't need one now!!! Then she should be familiar immensely with using her taser and not her gun!! I'm condemning the racism that caused this.

George Carlin, "Redundant Piles Of Protoplasm"
This man was too too funny--excerpt from one of his stand-up gigs.....
"This country is big-time pig time. Forget the bald eagle. Do you know what the national emblem of this country ought to be? A big bowl of macaroni and cheese. A BIG BOWL. Because everything in this country is king size. King size, extra large and SUPER JUMBO. Especially fucking people! Have you seen some of the people in this country? Have you taken a good look at some of these big, fat motherfuckers walking around? Big, fat motherfuckers. Oh, my God. Huge piles of redundant protoplasm lumbering through the malls like a fleet of interstate buses."
Father Forgive Them For They Know Not..
what they do? Do you think just maybe lots of people in the West have taken this as their "easy grace?" Really good to discuss just what Jesus meant. Because I just KNOW He was not just giving His OK to all sorts of evil!!

God's Strange Ways
I was looking at my little manger scene today and suddenly thought about how odd that situation was. First, the mom carrying the baby, whom we regard as one of the holiest women ever, was carrying a baby that her husband had not implanted. Then, they are ready for the birth of God's Christ, a holy event, and the great miracle of all time, and they have not even a room in the hotel. So they are given a place at a barn with animals! And there the mom gives birth and shortly thereafter, some shepherds come to visit them only because they can read the stars, and hear heavenly angels and also believe in ancient scriptures, and soon after also, three men from the East come with expensive gifts for this child because they also read the stars and believe in ancient scriptures, and the guy who is the leader of the country, Herod, wants to kill all first born boys because of this one little boy, who he wants to destroy.
It's important to recognize several things about this story. One, that Herod was behind schedule. He set out to destroy those first born boys, but too late to kill Christ, which is an important thing to know about Satan. Christ lived, died according to the plan of redemption and rose again, but his whole life, his entry to this world was against all odds. Why is it God seems to like to work in this way? Joseph had a dream that told him to get out of Bethlehem and run to Egypt. His ability to hear the voice of God was absolutely essential at that moment. But by obeying that voice, he was ahead of Herod's schedule.
Another important part of this story is the animals. Interesting that God saw animals as better company than the people in the Inn. And that makes sense--they lack human evil.

There is no shame in re-gifting
Have you ever returned something to a store? It only needs to still be re-sellable. Same with re-gifting. But the trick is to be sure the people who gave you the gift don't see you giving it to someone else--LOL
Why we should call black people "chocolate people"
For one, they are chocolate colored and not black. Black has been used negatively in many situations, but I daresay would chocolate ever be a negative? Interesting that Psychiatric Times claims dark chocolate has amazing anti-depressant qualities and black people have invented music that has the same effect!
Psychiatric Times' amazing findings on Dark Chocolate
Dark chocolate lowers the risk of depression, according to a crossâ€sectional survey of over 13,000 US adults.1 The study compared self-reported chocolate consumption with self-reported depressive symptoms, as measured by the PHQ-9. People who ate dark chocolate in the past 24 hours were 70% less likely to report depression.
The same effects were not seen with milk chocolate, suggesting that the benefits were not simply due to the pleasures of the food. Indeed, most people rate milk chocolate as the more pleasurable of the two. There is also the possibility that people who strive for a healthy lifestyle are more likely to consume dark chocolate. This treat, after all, has well-publicized health benefits, including prevention of cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and cognitive decline.2 To disentangle those confounding variables, the researchers controlled for other lifestyle factors like physical activity, smoking, alcohol, and total sugar and caloric intake, as well as age, sex, marital status, education, income, weight, and presence of chronic medical problems. In the end, the association remained. Once more, those who ate the largest quantities of chocolate had the lowest rates of depression.
It did not take much dark chocolate to achieve these antidepressant effects. On average, the consumers of dark chocolate ate only 12 grams a day, a little less than half an ounce. The cut-off for “dark” chocolate was ≥ 45% cocoa. In contrast, the optimal dose for physical health is 1 to 2 ounces a day of ≥ 70% cocoa. Keeping the percentage high and the ounces low maximizes the healthy ingredients while minimizing the calories and sugar.
Chocolate has long been associated with depression. Almost half (45%) of patients in a depressed episodes report craving for chocolate, and many believe that it relieves feelings of anxiety and irritability.3 Chocolate cravings are particularly high during atypical depression, winter depression, and premenstrual dysphoria. Two previous epidemiologic surveys arrived at the opposite conclusion of the current one, finding that chocolate consumption was associated not with mental health but with depressive symptoms. However, those studies did not look specifically at dark chocolate, and they did not control for confounding variables as well as this new study did.1
There are several mechanisms that may explain the putative antidepressant effects of dark chocolate.1,4
1. Flavanols. These brain-protecting nutrients are particularly prominent in dark chocolate. They are also found in red wine, berries, apples, citrus, and green and black teas, all foods that are associated with improvements in mood and cognition.
2. Caffeine and theobromine. These adenosine-agonists have rapid effects on energy and cognition. Cocoa is the main source of theobromine, while caffeine is found in many foods.
3. N-acylethanolamines. This fatty acid is an analogue of anandamide, an endogenous cannabinoid with anxiolytic and euphoric effects.
4. Phenylethylamine. A natural monoamine that increases the release of norepinephrine, dopamine, and acetylcholine.
"In God We Trust," Marty Feldman 1980
this was a hilarious film, I recall Feldman as a priest standing at a street corner and a prostitute drives up in a convertible and the priest hops in and leaves his parish and his job!!! HAHA Vague recall but that was the main funny.

They both were Jewish. Had so much trouble finding this film--word to the wise. How hard is a Google search for films of priests, prostitutes and a comedy? I only remembered Feldman's eyes being like Buster Keaton and did a search of comedians with bug-eyes and found Feldman. From there, his filmography, but wow! And the Google search brought up dark occultic priest images, not comedians at all!

DOCUMENTARY I SAW ON THE GREAT FLOOD
THE ONE I SAW SAID TWO AMAZING THINGS I'D NEVER HEARD. ONE, there were less species of animals at this time, and thus all of them could fit onto the ark. The other, that there was layer of water between the earth and the sun which kept us alive for centuries. Thus God could emphatically promise never to flood again, bc the water is not even there for Him to flood with. A third would be the animals all hibernated during the 40 days, thus little care was necessary. I believe this was a doc by Discovery channel and also that every biblical writing could be defended with science.
NIV translation Jeremiah 17: 9
The heart is deceitful above all things
and beyond cure.
Who can understand it?
God had already determined this at the time of the flood. Then he brought His Jewish people here to bring the Holy Word and the presence of God, then He sent His son, the Christ, and if after all that you still fit the description in Jer. 17, what kind of retribution do you suppose you will receive? Hebrews 10 says if after all this and all the biblical knowledge, you sill rebel against God you can expect only "fiery indignation!" Don't kid yourself, don't deceive yourself!!

How has Jordan Peterson gotten away with.
putting forth his belief, which I whole-heartedly agree with, that female is chaos, and male is order? Sadly, women who need to understand their shortcomings fall further short by means of their pride. We so need to cooperate with men to bring order to this chaotic mess. We need to surrender our egos. This really isn't possible except through Christ.
Being in Healing Ministry...
...let me make myself clear. I am not opposed to doctors. I am not opposed to employing medications when there are emergencies, for human ills, and crisis. I am only opposed to staying on these medications long term. Because so often in treating one thing, you have caused a new health problem, which is absurd. Also, doctors have done much good in my history of things I've dealt with. When my foot was damaged accidentally, doctors did much good to restore my foot, not entirely, which I know only God can do, but to the point that I have the function I need to live quite normally. So I am thankful for their work. Professor Peterson, being a psychologist, I should mention, one of two amazing, powerful men in the Holy Spirit who helped me over many years to find restoration was also a psychologist. He was a pastor and a psychologist with people making office visits as well as visiting the church he worked at.
Jordan Peterson says, 'Acknowledge that life is suffering.' In his 12 rules for life
"Your goal is to make progress to avoid suffering. Overprotective adults avoid discussing suffering with their children, with the hope that it will protect them from it. This just makes children unprepared to deal with suffering when they run into it."
I agree. I think I try to live with as little suffering as possible, and yet it can be difficult. But I agree with making life less painful. Only problem is people's drug addictions, and other addictions, and evil crutches, and turning down an evil path often come from avoidance of pain, and I'm sure this man would agree, we should not let avoidance cause us to take those wrong turns, bc they will lead to even greater suffering. In other words, we should not avoid pain, but make progress toward avoiding it, in a healthful way. This also comes from surrender to God.
By the way, Peterson is a psychologist, and psychology prof in Canada.

Do you live in a nowhere place?
You feel perhaps where you live is unimportant, small, insignificant. But even in movies and novels, places like this are usually the very center of the drama.
