Stand By Me, Jesus

Stand By Me
King ben e.

When the night has come
And the land is dark
And the moon is the only light we'll see
No, I won't be afraid
No, I won't be afraid
Just as long as you stand
Stand by me

(Chorus:)
So darling, darling, (sing:Jesus, Jesus)
Stand by me,
Oh, stand by me
Oh, stand,
Stand by me
Stand by me

If the sky that we look upon
Should tumble and fall
Or the mountains should crumble in the sea
I won't cry, I won't cry,
No, I won't shed a tear
Just as long as you stand
Stand by me



See video with the standard words in June 27 post.

I heard this song in the grocery today, and remembered the comfort of standing by someone, and of being stood by. I like lovesongs about Jesus, so I replaced "darling" with "Jesus".

Mad Scientists of Etsy

I'm a member of both Christian Artists Street Team (CAST) and the Mad Scientists of Etsy team. (MSOE) I'm just getting acquainted with the latter and they all seem so very talented,both scientifically and artistically.

Subsequently, I found a very interesting blog of scientists' tattoos at http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/loom/science-tattoo-emporium/

Some of these are fascinating. Then there are others.

I particularly liked the serotonin molecule(the natural high).

If you tattooed an equation or formula you needed for an academic test, would you have to cover it with a bandaid for the test?

When I started brainstorming about an ETSY shop, I jotted an idea about embroidering the Krebs cycle.(The basic way we get energy). Recently,I looked around the web to see how others have depicted it.

Wow! Thirty years ago we got black and white handouts. Now they have animated colorful cartoons. It's like Science as Art has BEEN DONE.

This video of an abbreviated Krebs Cycle tickles me silly.

Frog Pond

Whitney always looks at me strangely when I frog something.

I liked the photo of the many-colors WIP seen below, but the reality wasn't so good. Rip it, rip it, rip it

I went back to my original idea to explore the use of orange and blue.

The many colors idea will surface again in another form.

Rabbit Ranching, Never Boring

We raise rabbits. We have five does and a few months ago we decided our buck, Harvey, needed another buck to share duties. (Genetic reasons) So we picked out a boy and named him Fillmore. So Fillmore grew up and it was time for courtship, etc. We put first one, then another doe in his cage and he just wasn't interested.

I mentioned to Mr. P, an experienced rabbit rancher, that Fillmore had a really big ruff. That's a kind of double chin that girl rabbits have. Since Mr. P is now blind, I'm the one who decides if the bunnies are boys or girls. Yep, you're right.

We put Fillmore in with Harvey and the courtship dance ensued. Fillmore is now named Mora and we expect bunnies in a month or so.

I'm so embaressed. It's not like I haven't been around a lot of mammals in biology labs.

(See July 8 post for the rest of the story.)

Good Reads

I recently read CHAINS AROUND THE GRASS by Naomi Ragen. I've read a couple of her other books and have been pleased with her powerful women. In this one, I was really pleased with a girl's GOD AWARENESS EXPERIENCE. He really does reveal Himself to everyone.

I'm adding a link to Gerald Schroeder's site, to an article on existence. He discusses the fact that God is revealed in nature. His book THE SCIENCE OF GOD is also a good read. However, he and the Reasons to Believe experts disagree, to a few billion years,on the age of the universe. (Both Schroeder and RTB are old earth scientists and gently explain why their view is indeed Biblical.)
