Do not think too much...

Some think money might bring all happiness; it is not true;
Some think money might bring all confort; it is equally not true;
Some think money might give all the power; it is a tremendous fraud;
Some think money might make people love us; it is not not not true;
Some think money might "buy love & respect"; it is not true, at all.

Some think God forgot him/her; how could Father forsakes children?
Some think God created universe and left it at random; it is not true;
Some think God has favorite children; really? Are you one of them?
Some think God has been too much busy; ok: request an appointment with Him!
Some think God does not really exist; so why to worry?

Money & God: you' better choose whom to serve!

March 8th - International Day of Women

Woman who is solely source of all human life...
Woman who is actually the very best of God's blessed hands...
Woman who is capable of everything...
Woman who is all powerful, though she might eventually fake not to be...
Woman who is capable to transform people and things by a mere looking...
Woman who, sometimes silenced, even utters and speaks and clarifies so very much...
Woman: the best of the best ever created by God.

Man is nothing but an accident (ugly one!).
Man is totally dependent upon woman.
Man fakes to be strong.

Congratulations, women of the universe... God Himself may set you free!

The last will be the winner!

But whosoever will be great among you, let him be your minister (Matthew 20.26).

Salome, mother of James and John wanted her sons (oh, boys!)to have granted seats: on the right and on the left side of Jesus, in the Kingdom to come. Jesus did not actually appreciate the request, at all. Jesus said that positions in the Kingdom of the Son were planned by the Father, and the Son, and the Unity of Godhead, would only give such positions to those to whom the Father had determined to grant them.

The 10 disciples were moved with indignation. Jesus felt the need to come and say: whosoever will be great among you, let him be your minister. Wow, that was great!

Points to ponder:
1. Humans just love to fake to be important, great, prominent etc;
2. Salome, as a mother, would do anything for her "two little boys!";
3. James actually drank of the cup... He was one of the first martyrs;
4. Yes: disciples were sometimes "discussing a lot";
5. Jesus came into sight and made the 10 indignant-boys, lambs...

The real points are:
1. Real important is the servant-minister;
2. Each one of us must assume his-her own life; mom should not come into sight;
3. True christians suffer indignities of the cross on daily basis;
4. Big turmoils-fights etc etc etc take place behind the pulpits;
5. But peace is not that far from us: Bible is yours to enjoy peace!

May all my readers have a blessed week.

March has come, wow! I will be 48 years!

AGENDA 2010:
Still got some room in May-2010.
I do not charge anything, but ticket and confortable hotel room.
I do not charge, repeat. If I did,I would make it in Euros; not US dollars...

Contemporary Art of Madrid 2010

Eugenio Merino (spanish) is author of this "art" which is called Stairway to Heaven.

Points to ponder:

1. Would you, reader, consider it as real art?;
2. Since when piling up icons-objects should be considered art?;
3. Muslins + christians + jews did not like it, at all;
4. To play art with religious icons is not art, it is deep insanity;
5. The un-known Eugenio is now somewhat known...

This "crazy-art-thing" was sold for EUR 45.000,00, in a few minutes, to a belgium.

Oh yeah, I think Mr. Eugenio should apply for good life insurance.

The Lord make his face shine upon you and be gracious to you Numbers 6.26)

Carnival comes from carnem-levare (Latin, without flesh). Ancient pagan feast created in Greece about 640 b.C. and continued in Rome...

In Brazil, the pagan feast began in 1640 and never ever stopped, until today...!!!

Brazil became world-wide famous for the dances etc etc etc in Rio (mainly) and it is part of dreams of millions...

In fomer former times, Carnival in Brazil:

1. People were NOT used to eat flesh, to take part in orgies...;
2. Couples used NOT to have sex relations before Passover;
3. Some could even not to take bath;
4. Mirrors were covered with purple clothes;
5. People used NOT to take part in orgies.

Today:

1. People eat everything...;
2. Couples do whatever they can-wish;
3. Nothing is avoided, at all...;
4. Mirrors are hung over necks and God knows where else...
5. Brazil literally stops for 4 days, oh Lord!

Well, will you actually go out dancing Carnival? Try staying alive!

Feb 2, 2010: groundhog day, in USA!

We all know that weather has changed all over!
We all know that there is something "wrong" somewhere...!!!
We all know that weather-man and weather-girl are not 100% trustworthy, at all.

We all should know that there is "someone" more trustworthy: groundhog!

Today, Feb 2, 2010, is GROUNDHOG DAY, in USA!

It works like this: if hog comes out of his place and looks up the sky and returns to his bed, it means USA shall have one and 1/2 month of winter...
If hog comes out and stays out, it means spring time is coming soon!

See!? Why to use weather-man/weather-girl; US has Phill, the hog!

Get ready, hog-lovers!
