Smile! It’s Independence Day!
Talk about independence! Talk about freedom! Have you heard about Matt?
Just in case you haven’t, and just in case you need something to put you in the holiday spirit, watch this short video. It’s happy.
And if that isn’t enough, you can watch this one, too. Who ever knew that juggling could produce a spiritual moment? Watching this video, even the third time around, somehow causes a chemical rush that induces excessive water production in my eye sockets. You can laugh at me. Or you can agree with me. Just let me know in a comment.
A special thanks goes out to my favorite scrapbooking celebrity/paper and life artist, Ali Edwards for the heads up on the happy-Matt-video.

More scrapbooking!!!
It’s just like I was saying — now that I’ve learned of its existence, I see it everywhere…

Noell,
I have no idea where this came from, but the HBO show Big Love came to mind watching that juggling video…Ok, maybe I do know where it came from :\

The juggling video is nice, but here’s a guy doing the same routine with 5 balls instead of 3:

Noell,
The guy in Big Love juggling 3 wives, 3 households, a job, threats from the FLDS leaders, etc.
It was the first thing that popped into my mind so it made sense to me, but on paper it is definitely a stretch.
I enjoy the show though

Mathyoo–that is so cool! It’s just juggling, but this kind of stuff (especially when movement is involved) inspires the heck out of me. It’s the masery of difficult tasks, along with physical grace and control. And it’s the accompanying music. Love it.
Bishop Rick–Ahhh, I’m getting it now. Sorry you had to spell it out for me. I cannot wait for that show to come back on!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I love the juggling! I also love the song. Can anyone tell me the name and who sings it? Noell - I’m still anxiously awaiting Leaving the Church - part 4!
July 6th, 2006 @ 6:12 am
Lily, I only just remembered yesterday that I hadn’t finished that yet! Part four should be the end. I’ll start working on that soon, I promise!
Sorry, I don’t know who sings that song. You could probably google it and find out. Chris Bliss is the name of the juggler. He’s also a comedian. In fact, he also has a number of essays he wrote, the only one I’ve read being about evolution! So I’m going to learn more about this guy.

I have been checking out your site. I have a question for you, do you know how old you will be when you die? Will you be 70 or 45?
Did you know 155,000 people die every day. That is right ten out of ten people die. The truth is you don’t know when your day will come. One second you are here, the next, you step into eternity. Your life is like a vapor here today and gone tomorrow.
Do you know what the Bible says? The Bible says it is appointed once for a man to die and then comes judgement. To be asbsent from your body is to be present before the Lord. When you die and stand before the Lord do you know if he will send you to Heaven or to Hell?

Thanks Noell! I did the google search. It’s 3 tracks from the Beatle’s Abbey Road album. (Just in case you were curious.) I read that Chris Bliss article while I was at it. Good stuff.

Cody,
Let me take a stab at this. Since you answered all of your own questions except the last one, I will address that one, but before I attempt an answer, I have a few questions for you first.
What makes you so sure that when I die, I will stand before the lord? I don’t think any of us know the answer to that one for sure since none of us have died and lived to tell about it.
Do you really believe there is a Hell…a place with fire and brimstone and eternal agony? If there is such a place, would you send one of your children there?
Do you really believe there is a devil…a being that can influence your thoughts and lead you to do evil?
Would you send your children to a totally foriegn place/family after robbing their memory, and leave it solely to chance as to whether they join the right religion, and learn the right principles, and depending on whether they get the test questions right, they get to come home (heaven) or go to Hell?
Please answer these questions first, then I will attempt to reply to your question.
thanks,
Bishop Rick
