Hi. I know, where have I been? Nothing major going on, just living day to day. Several times I've wanted to post on the subject of Lady Gaga. Like when she was carried in an egg at the
Grammys,and incubated inside it for three hours before she performed Born this Way! She said she needed the time to," transform". Transform into what?! I did quite a bit of occult research on that little diddy,but it was taking so long that I ended up putting my notes aside,and decided to leave the whole business of her craziness alone!( sigh...catching my breath!) Basically what I found out was that the egg in
theosophy symbolizes not only rebirth. Which is kind of a no brainier for most of us. But more importantly, transformation. Which is interesting,because that's exactly what she said she needed to do before performing the song. Also when Lady Gaga emerges out of the egg,and on to the stage. You notice that her shoulders are pointy and that they are meant to look like flesh,apart of her body. Yes, I know it was just cosmetic make up. But what was/is the message that she is trying to convey to us the unsuspecting public through this song. Yes. I get the surface level meaning of the song. Which is about being born homosexual and that one must except it. Yet..... there is a deeper meaning than just singing about being born gay. On
Vigilant Citizen there is a very interesting, well researched article on the song Born This Way. The very same subject matter that I was trying to research on my own a few weeks ago. Only much more cohesive,and well written. Than anything I could have done. You really need to give this subject matter the time of day. I know a lot of people want to just pooh,pooh her,and call it,"show business". I know many Christians want to latch on to the message of being," born gay",and only preach on that. When in reality we need to be looking deeper,and have a clear understanding about what kind of transformation she is singing about. What she is really singing about is transforming the way we think about everything. To blur the lines between good and evil. Just for example. Secular culture over the last 60 years have taught people to only have one or two children. To even voluntarily,"fix" themselves from having anymore kids. This started out with people who didn't follow Christ's teachings,but over the years this way of thinking has invaded the church. Today if you have more than three or four children(which is usually considered a big family by today's standards), and you go to church,and decide to have more children. I guarantee you,someone in your church will question you as to why you would want more kids. As if the idea is slightly amusing,or act like you're a nut case. Or even shake their heads in dismay. As if you've done something wrong. When of all people. They should be the ones rejoicing with you,about the prospects of a new living soul that could come to know Christ,and enlarge the kingdom of God. Any way......that's not what this post is about. What I'm trying to point out is how easy it is for Satan to influence us who call ourselves Christians. Without evening knowing it. Satan wants to blur the way you think about family, church, work.....life in general. So that we can not hear the Holy Spirit clearly when He speaks to us through the Word of God (Bible). I don't know about you,but when my kids ask me questions about the weirdness of Lady Gaga. I want to be able to give them a well informed answer for the weirdness. Not just a generic,"Well you see kids, Satan is using her. It's evil. So don't listen to her!" That's just not a good enough answer for kids who are ten and older. It's too easy for them to compromise their values and say that it's just a song.( which is what my example was all about,how easy it is to compromise) The next generation needs/deserves to know what kind of principalities we fight. Well......If you made it this far reading,then I'm very impressed!! I know. I tend to get too wordy when I get on my little soap box....sorry for that. I can't seem to change that part of myself. But if you believe we are in a Spiritual battle then head over to
Vigilant Citizen and read the article. Thanks for stopping by.
Hello. For those of you who have asked where have I been? Well.....here I am. We bought a house this past September 2011,and have been busy with the adjustment of living in a new home that comes with ten acres. No....I'm not bragging, that's just a statement. It's been overwhelming at moments. But wonderful at the same time. Thank you so much for asking about me.....I do appreciate it. That's my cat,Flash....in case you were wondering.
Here are the pumpkins my three children craved on their own,this past October.
The view from my upstairs deck.
My 11 year old daughter made this cake on New Years Eve. That's an explanation mark after the 2012.....if you were wondering.
A picture from one of my magazines.....I'm trying to get inspired for updating my new home.
My 11 year old daughter made these pretzels the other day. She loves to bake and cook. Yes....I do cook and bake too...ha,ha,ha....
Yes.....the last six months have been busy, physically and emotionally exhausting. I do realize that I'm not the only person to buy a house and move. But I'm probably the only one to quit blogging,ha,ha,ha.....no seriously.....I quit blogging because I realized, that I had quit journal writing. Which is a big no,no for me. So I stopped blogging. I knew I needed to find a balance between my blogging and journal writing. What I write in my journals is way more important than what I could ever blog to the world. Because my journals are for my posterity to read. Those future individuals are very important to me,and I want them to know my thoughts about everything that I think and feel. Yet.....here I am. I hope to blog this year,and keep a balance on bogging and writing at home, and also not let my emotions get the better of me. It's so easy to get down and feel that no one reads,or cares about what I have to say. When that is never the truth. I hope that I keep things in perspective, that it doesn't matter what I feel. What matters,is getting the word out. Whatever it is that God wants me to get out.... So here I am.....and Hello 2012!!
