It is a wonderful testament to the human spirit. I remember having to memorize in 10th grade. I think its one of the reasons I fell in love with poetry. Great work!

Jesus didn't say he was sorry for the sins of the whole world, he took upon himself the punishment of sin, overcame death, and opened the door to eternal life to all mankind. I think there's a big difference between sayin"my bad" for things you didn't do to people you don't know and atoning for the world's sins through personal sacrifice. Now if the pope was going to stand trial for all the past crimes of catholics and take on te sentence they deserve, that's not empty that has a real consequence to it.Hmmm seems like some guy named Jesus is very famous for doing this exact same thing only in a more dramatic fashion
but it makes people feel good so -
And here's an awesome video featuring a marionette love affair between the living and the undead. Very romantic in a kooky kind of way

Hello all, so here it is the middle of summer and I'm thinking about my very favie holiday: Halloween! What I love most are creepy animation movies. My lids and I gather around and watch the nightmare before Christmas and corpse bride and the Addams family etc.
Submitted for your approval, a short film from the early nineties based on a folk tale...the sandman.

I never really got the point of apologizing for the actions of others. Seems like a very hollow gesture...but if it makes folks feel good....

Still hoping for some input...Is AV an Asatruar?? Anyone else? I've been learning about runic divination over last month, seems very interesting but I came across something that said divination was considered a woman's vocation by the norse. I even read that vikings would kill men who practiced it. Is this true? If so, why such a fatal reaction? I'm very interested in all this.

But seriously, all great things are made up of a series of small things practiced faithfully with great love....spirituality is no different.
Therefore, as mother theresa said, be faithful in small things for therein lies our strength.

I heard it had more to do with the motion of the spiritual ocean...

Lol. That beats my experience with ancestry.com. I traced my family back to my ggg grandfather, Devil Jim, named such by the Indians he fought in the Seminole wars. He lost his arm and later his leg in the civil war. Prior to that all anyone knows is that he left SC with two wives just ahead of a hanging possy. We think he assumed his name since there's no records of family or birthplace. He was buried in an unmarked grave in the family plot.
Although I have heard many stories of a less than flattering nature about him, I can't help but admire the man. He may have been mean but it took mean men like that to settle and tame the swamps of Florida. Whatever else he was, he was a survivor. And because he survived, he left a legacy without which I would not be here. When I look at my own kids, I remember to thank Devil Jim. He helped make them possible. God bless you Devil Jim!

Feeling kooky...

God bless you, Saved....sending you many prayers.

In the gawkier days of my youth I was often mistaken for the Doogie Howser guy. Now I just see my dad when I look in the mirror.

I was hoping someone here could give me more detail than what you normally find on a google search. I know it's a native european reconstruction religion based on the Norse pantheon. What drew you to the religion? How does Asatru ply into your daily life? What are the rituals like? What is your faith like? Many thanks for any insight.

Sadly, a number of co-workers and even my boss have lost their homes. Praying hard for them

I thought about this prayer when reading the Do Animals Have Souls thread...very beautiful. I also love St. Patrick's prayer:
Christ be with me, Christ within me,
Christ behind me, Christ before me,
Christ beside me, Christ to win me,
Christ to comfort and restore me.
Christ beneath me, Christ above me,
Christ in quiet, and in danger,
Christ in hearts of all that love me,
Christ in mouth of friend and stranger.

Many thanks, I worry for my friends who have had to evacuate.
-
Thanks Songster, they just ordered an evacuation of the Air force academy. This is real!
-
Merci beaucoups!

Well that was quite a ride home from work...Here's a shot of the CS fire from my parking lot at work and another one of the Boulder fir from th parking lot of my apartment. I just can't get away
-
Please pray for the good people of co. Springs. My drive home from work looks like I'm riding into the land of mordor. I can hardly breathe. The national air force academy looks like its in very real danger,including its beautiful chapel and the only military pagan worship space.

My 6-yr-old princess demands to hear this at least 15 times a day so I have become intimately aware of it...But hey, any pop viedeo that features a civil war reenactment is pretty cool in my book:

OK, OK, OK. this is the last one of the day, I promise. This is my new favie band: Slow Club. I think the video is quite cool as it was one continuous shot. If you look closely, you'll spot a bit of magic I think *wink*.
IDK about y'all, but I have known this sick sad moment when you realize the buzz is leaving and all that you have to look forward to is the sick so you try desperately to hold on to the buzz as hard as you can...but as Geroge Harrison says, all things must pass....so it goes. ugh
