The posts in this blog, specifically those relating to mytholgy and meanings and origins of words, are the result of looking up stuff that I find intersting. These posts must be taken at face value, and hopefully serve as a catalyst to dig further for greater insight. Constructive comments would be appreciated but not expected.

Shall God unroll the canvas
And explain the reason why
The dark threads are as needfulI
n the weavers skilful hand
As the threads of gold and silver
In the pattern he has planned

Words of Wisdom
Great minds discuss ideas
Average minds discuss events
Small minds discuss people
Two things are infinate
The universe and human stupidity
And I am not sure of the universe
Insanity: Doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results

OMG is that PEN..? That kid looks like a younger version of Chucky!
Kids huh..??!!! :-D
Oh my word!!!!
hahaha I love it!
Now seeing that picture bothered me a lot! What is a child doing with a marker.....okay so they get hold of things they shouldn't occasionally. But what the child did to the baby is what concerns me! How do you know that the dye in the marker isn't toxic? Or worse yet, what if it got in the baby's eyes and blinded it!!!!!!!!
Wake up parents...monitor the little ones. I had five kids (all adults now) and never had such things happen....well maybe minor things, but nothing serious.
Okay, I know you may not like my comments but hey....I'm now a grandmother so that gives me the right to critize younger moms....in a nice way of course:)
