Sermon 3/25/2012

"Stop and smell the roses"

Hi....

You know, its 10:05pm, Sunday evening...

I plumb forgot to finish writing a sermon this week...

I have a subject, as shown by the title, but, believe it or not, I was actually "stopping, and smelling the roses"....

I had a busy weekend...

Had to take the wife to the salon, belt testing for my students, and a family shindig on Saturday....

Today, picked up the yard, went got gas for the mowers, mowed, grocery shopping, then to another store for grocery shopping... Toys 'R's Us (clearly the stop here was not long enough!) for a birthday present for a niece, then party for the niece, home, then K-Mart for some quick shopping, then home to grill some brats, some pork chops, and a coupla dogs....

Whew...

Not to mention the visiting TOTJO, words with friends, facebook, demotivational and fml site visits....

Now this sounds pretty busy, and granted, it is...

But, I was 'there'....

In the moment, the 'Now's...

I was at the stores, I was at the testing, I was paying attention at the family get together...

I noticed the way the grass moved as I mowed it, how the snake tried to stay ahead of me as I caught him, and released him in an already mowed area... The decor at my cousin's house, the toys at the niece's house... The squirrels feeding on the corn and the peanuts after we were done mowing...

Sigh... It was great....

Make sure, as you go through your day, your week, your life, to pay attention to as much as you can...

I'm not perfect at it, but as I reflect on my weekend, it was GREAT....

Nothing spectacular, nothing earth shattering....

Just a good weekend...

I hope yours was too....

May the Force be with You....

Have any of you heard of gluons? I beleive this to be the true Force or God. When I hear man is created in the image of God I imagine a big circle of cheese. If you cut out a small piece of the cheese does it look, smell, and taste like the big piece of cheese? Yes. Is it? No. Your soul owns your body, not vice versa.

    • Shadow Being (Last post by MurMur)
    • Shadow beings are those people or entities who are still here in our plane of existence. People do not understand that just because the body dies does not mean that that person is non-existent. Shadow people are just energy in a form that we are not aware of or that we can fully comprehend. I have seen shadow people and have had multiple experiences obtaining to shadow people. Not all shadow people are people who can not move on to the next plain of existence. Some of entities who are here for reasons only they know of, if they even know. Death is nothing but a phase in the existence of life.
    • God vs Ego (Last post by Reliah)
    • Quote: One has to remember, there is no such thing as good or evil, its all about power. Right or wrong, it all based on one's point of view or perception. One person can teach a child that drinking after someone else from the same bottle is wrong. While someone else says that its wrong and is only right to share, and they drink from someone else's bottle. It's like a saying that comes from a movie (those who know the movie, well done, those who don't, well...find out) "If a man kills another man in battle, he is a hero, but is a man kills another man in the heat of passion, he's a murderer." In the Middle East, if you steal, you get your hand cut off. In America, if you steal, you may get away with it or just spend a few days or months in jail. With the subject of a 'god.' it also depends on how one is brought up and taught. It is also based on what one truly believes. I personally think that so called gods and goddess in the past are nothing but flesh and blood creatures that existed in the past. They are not spiritual beings that came out of wherever. Remember, those Mayans and Aztecs thought the white Europeans were gods when they arrived on their shores in South America. So, again...its based on one's point of view and what they are taught. Indeed, this is a very personal experience - the angel and devil and the consciousness (the god). It would, of course, all be subject to an individual and their experience of reality. The key point is in realizing it and finding balance - as an individual - and that way will differ from person to person. I think the word "god" leaves a bitter taste in most people's mouths, but in this case, "god" is a word meaning your own, personal "higher self", not a religious god.
    • Peaceful means and the lightsabre (Last post by MurMur)
    • Sometimes were have to fight fire with fire. Sometimes we can fight fire with water. It depends on the situation. Look at WWII when the U.S. bombed Japan with two atom bombs. It was to the point that there was not other choice but to "fight fire with fire." Look at Germany, some say it had to be torn apart by bombs and other means in order to stop Hitler. Sometimes we can talk our way out of violent means, and unfortunately violence is the only means to end a conflict. I believe it depends on the situation, and the severity of the situation.

    • Is the Bible the Literal Word of God? (Last post by suliskveteba)
    • again, as I have stated in my own biblical thread, the Bible is a dusty old abstract Tome, potentially beautiful and lifechanging, but hardly literally true, in the west with the KJV and NIV atrocities to the translations ( here's to Augustine *raises glass*, oh and Calvin ( who gave his best friend an excruciating death of living incineration)) we can't really say much on the Bible, St Ignatius of Antioch has been metaphorically crucified ( get it?) by protestants for saying the NT is better than OT because the NT has the gospel, life of Christ and his teachings, the core of Christianity.
    • the bible..............*sighs* (Last post by suliskveteba)
    • trying to seperate myself from the previous frustration of impatience that I had when I posted the original post here, the bible is mainly a story book (Old testament), a book with great poetry and symbolism, with beautiful stories and lessons to be learnt, when it isn't a story, it is an abstract form of philosophy or meaning that is supposed to teach you a lesson every time you read it. I am not arguing against the bible, but like philosophy, I was arguing against the reactions of: - Claiming the Bible is pure divine text ( sometimes the claim of "only divine text") - Taking every single word of the Bible as truth or literal meaning both reactions don't hold true to the original meaning or motivation of the Bible.
    • Who would you like to meet? (Last post by Lorian)
    • Quote: Why such angst towards Lucifer? Maybe Lucifer gave him a bad birthday present sometime? ;) On a more serious note, I would personally like to meet the Dalai Lama as he is a man of great wisdom, is very well versed and is knowledgeable. I suppose meeting him could be considered akin to meeting the Pope, as I have heard from friends and other ears that meeting either religious man is both humbling and wonderful. The Dalai Lama also serves as an inspiration to many, as he continues to advocate for a free Tibet despite having the odds stacked against him, so to learn of how he holds such strong resolve in light of such adversity not only intrigues me but also makes me respect the man a great deal more. I'm not overly fond of actors, yet meeting Harrison Ford would be very cool indeed if I was given the chance :D

    • Nature of "the Force" (Light/Dark dicoto... (Last post by Adder)
    • Quote: A comparison i typically use in the Star Wars online roleplaying community i am a part of is to take the colour purple. It is after all a single colour but we of course know that is is made of two different colours, blue and red. It is through either calm, peaceful communion or the use of raw emotion and passion that either one of these sides or colours can then be distinguished and as such felt and communed with. Sometimes I feel like the dichotomy of light and dark is akin to a black and white TV versus a color TV, and it leaves me wondering 'what about the colors!!!'. Purple is almost like an energetic grey in that way. Of course the dichotomy is not of these things, but what they represent. Still, I was looking at the color spectrum and cannot help but think red at one end and purple at the other are very different from light versus dark (with are very much poles apart).... since purple is a combination of the antipole red, plus blue! So I like to see red as standing for passion/sacrifice and at the other end the purple color really is a clash between that red and blue, ie conflict. It could make more sense for purple to represent conflict as it does actual show a higher energy state. So then going all Star Wars (sorry Zenchi) red blades could represent a call for victims to sacrifice on the Sith blade, while blue a call to conflict so it can be settled best by the Jedi way together with green as protective and harmonious midpoint. In which case a color Force dichotomy could be passion/red/giving of oneself to a cause, versus conflict/purple/exhausting resources through competition for a cause. It also aligns well with blood, red is fresh and oxygenated ready for use, while purple is rare and causes tension around it. One of the things I like about dichotomies is that by having two points they automatically create a midpoint. So in this regard I feel like the color version of grey might not be purple like I first thought, but instead green!
    • Slap off your cheeky smile and have a good rant ..... (Last post by Alexandre Orion)
    • LOL ... :cheer: Last week it was Jestor covering the soap box with controvery. Now look ... All things, even equality, considered, you're right, Wescli. And that was sort of what I had "hoped" to get to by this. It isn't clear as to whether or not we're not really all equals, for the story of the carreer in baseball aspirations doesn't imply that shortstop or first baseman could programme a robot to tear up a hill ... We are not all equal in all domains ; that is an evidence. It is unsure whether we have equal potential even in all domains. I'm personally not much of a determinist, but do feel that we have dispositions which render us better at some things than at others. Still ... And S - you are on to something there about the ones who are disappointed when things turn out better. Here in France, we are always listening to the whinings of those who are all salty about things not living down to their expectations. :dry: And if one thinks well about it, the Schopenhauerian toad would definitely make ones day better. Toad skin secretes a sort of tryptamine, bufotenin, which acts as a sort of neurotransmitter that is the same or similar as found in some mushrooms and plants. So, by swallowing a toad for breakfast - one would be flying high nicely for a good part of the day. :woohoo: It is this which is reputed to have given us all the faerie tales about princesses kissing toads and they miraculously turn into princely lovers ... :huh:
