Messiahsking's post on Y!A

I don't know this guy's name, but he gave me permission to copy this, which I find very interesting.

When two people marry, they are making vows of intimacy,purity, and holiness unto God and to each other. By being Virgins they are making a "Blood Covenant" unto God. If you are not a Virgin, the "Blood Covenant" cannot be made but on a Spiritual Bond alone. This opens the door that seems to be a cursed crooked path that many times leads to separation and divorce unless the couple has a true relationship with Jesus. Two men or two women being united together in the bonds of "Holy" matrimony cannot be joined together in a "Blood Covenant" unto God for the Hymen of the woman must be broken in order for this covenant to be made and their union is defiled before God..Many are leading this Nation down the path of destruction when they choose to follow their own way rather than being lead by the written word of God.. Stay pure, marry on God's terms and you will be blessed in your marriage.

Picking Dandelion Greens

Busy, busy
Among other fun things I've missed doing this Spring, is the Picking of the Greens. The very young greens make a good side dish, and the older, but as yet unmowed, and certainly unsprayed leaves make a great cup pf tea, known in former decades as a Spring Tonic.

I put it off almost too long this year. There are some unmowed areas around us, but the leaves are pretty big, where they exist. How can there be big blooms and no leaves? I kid you not. Also, at 11:30 am it is too late in the day for this child to be bending over in the Sun. The hat proved to be too hot to tolerate. So, from now, it's early morning and late evening for any yardwork.

Will buy sunscreen soon.

All you heat lovers in the northern hemisphere,enjoy.

The tv Camera, Our Wellness and Diet

The funny tattle on myself first. At the grocery store this morning, there were a tv reporter and camera man. They set up to film me. I said, loudly, " I don't like the idea of my double chin being on tv. " I couldn't much move because I was at the checkout. The camera man continued. I stuck out my tongue. He left.

We got the 'flu last Oct. 20 and haven't felt well since. However, we woke up well today! Thank You, Father.

Have you ever considered how awful it would be if we didn't heal, and carried around every scratch, scrape, and broken this or that, that we ever had?

However, a few weeks ago I was worried about a family member in another city, and my blood pressure went up considerably. I haven't been looking at sodium intake because I once had a low sodium test and was told to use extra salt. Also, if my stomach is upset, eating extra salt helps. This time, I could correlate blood pressure to sodium intake.

Well, now I'm a rabid reader of nutrition labels for sodium. There are a lot more prepared foods available that are low fat than are low sodium. I found a web site last night that sells calcium carbonate to use in baking, instead of sodium, for leavening. Until then, we're going to eat flattish pancakes. I've even purchased honey to use instead of syrup, which is pretty high sodium.

For decades I have written down, on the days I was trying to eat right, everything, with it's fat, sat fat, carbs, and protein. I occasionally come across sheaves of paper with my diet from years past. Recently I've added sodium. It seems a pity to use all that paper, so I've decided to make a separate blog about diet. We'll see how this works.

Since I will mostly have to cook from scratch, I've redefined my major job description as "cook".

Mahi Mahi Dolphin Fish and the higher functions of some mammalian structures

A couple decades ago, give or take a year or two, I treated myself to a stopover in Honolulu for a few days. I tried to avoid major tourist attractions, so went to lunch one day at a modest restaurant. I decided to try the Mahi on the menu, and asked the waitress what it was. She looked at me a little strangely and said,"Some people like to eat it. It tastes good."

Later I heard (erroneously) that I'd eaten dolphin. I grieved. Dolphins,whales, and primates (including us) have the extra layer of brain at the front called a neocortex, which, when I studied it so long ago, appeared to be the region in which we have awareness of self.

Then mahi mahi came to the local Walmart. We discussed buying some, but as I explained my misgivings about eating beings with self-awareness, Mr. P tried to tell me that this mahi mahi was not like Flipper, the dolphin.

I didn't get it until today. The food I ate in Honolulu, mahi mahi, is a dolphin FISH, that is in no way related to the mammals called porpoises, also called dolphins.

I ate a fish, not Flipper.

I suppose, if I were hungry enough, I might eat dolphin, whale or primate, with appropriate thanksgiving.

All of us with dogs and cats around us know that they understand a large vocabulary of human words and can have their feelings hurt. So, especially since I don't keep up with brain research, I'm not yet ready to say that the housepets don't have awareness of self.

Mr. P says he's known some personable cows, too.




Above is a dolphin fish, not a mammal. Oh, well, the guy with the arm is a mammal.
