Ethan passed away a few weeks ago. He did make it a lot longer than he was expected to, and we are all still praying for his family to get through this tough time.

Time

"Is there such a thing as the "present"? Every moment, once it goes by, is the past. Ah there it goes... and again... and boom boom boom the present just became the past, theoretically, an infinite number of times (how long can a "moment" really last?). So every second the future is becoming the past, and we're stuck in some weird kind of unimaginable limbo. Haha, suckers."
-Aristotle, substantially paraphrased.

"The clock is running. Make the most of today. Time waits for no man. Yesterday is history. Tomorrow is a mystery. Today is a gift. That's why it is called the present." - Alice Morse Earle

Thanks for listening. Err... having listened. Whatever.

Marshmallow Test


If you haven't seen this video already- please watch it. A few measly marshmallows
and a couple of kids can teach you a huge life lesson here.

If you watched it- what lesson can be learned from this? I'm sure you know.. WAIT.
Simple, right? Then why is it so hard?

This past summer I got to go to the infamous Disneyland.. and there.. Lyssa and I found..
there were lines.
Like you couldn't believe! One line we were standing in had to be enlarged because there were
too many people waiting. Although, once we did wait- the ride was pretty amazing.
Another ride in Legoland I believe... we were told it wasn't working and they didn't know
how long it would be
until it started again. Lots of people were leaving... but we waited. And we got to go on the ride.
A lot of rides we didn't wait for- but the ones we did wait for were well worth it.

Another great example is Job. Job was a man in the Bible who had almost everything-
and who lost it all. He got a terrible, painful disease and he had nothing left except for his
nagging wife. She told Job that all he had to do was to curse God, and then he
would die and be put out of his misery.
Yeah- it was that bad.

Everyone around Job told him to give up- but he didn't, and in the end, he got back
10 times everything he had owned before.

Job was a lot like the last kid who got not just one- but two marshmallows- all because he waited.

I think that temptation is so hard because let's face it- we really want those marshmallows.
Resisting to something we want is hard. But if we wait- if we wait for the
next marshmallow or save up for that new guitar- it's so much better when you finally get it.

Google Tricks

I've found 3 so far- if you have any others leave a comment and I'll add them to the post.

1.) If you type, gewgle.com into your regular non-google search engine... it actually comes up as google.com. Even if you type it g-e-w-g-l-e. Why? I have no idea.

2.) Type "Find Chuck Norris" into the google search engine. Instead of just pressing enter, click
"I'm feeling lucky" right below the search box. The following should come up:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Google won't search for Chuck Norris because it knows you don't find Chuck Norris, he finds you.


No standard web pages containing all your search terms were found.

Your search - Chuck Norris - did not match any documents.

Suggestions:

  • Run, before he finds you
  • Try a different person
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I kid you not, these are the exact words. try it for yourself!

3.) Ok, here's another one. Type in "foofle.com" and you can still get to google.com.

4.) Type in googlegooglegooglegoogle.com
Then, in one of the mini browsers, type the same thing. Then do it again, and again. The possibilities are endless.

I Don't Like You Mommy


When I saw this video, at first I laughed just like I'm sure you did. The kid is adorable I know.
Then I started to think about it. Have we as Christians ever done this? Maybe not with cookies,
but maybe we were angry at God for our unanswered prayers. Maybe because he didn't give us our
"cookies".

We may love God all the time, but do we seem to only like him when we get what we want?
I've seen a lot of movies where God won't be mentioned in another way besides
"Oh my God!" until the character is in trouble. Then, they suddenly start praying.

My point is, we need God all the time. Not only when life is going good, but when
life is maybe going not so good as well. We need to trust in the Lord always.

Leonardo da Vinci

No, I am not talking about the teenage mutant turtle. Not that they aren't totally awesome... but today I am talking about the famous Renaissance painter, who did works like The Mona Lisa andThe Last Supper. I'm talking about the famous painter, who although paints normal, writes, like this:


This is a piece of a page from one of his journals, of which they are probably hundreds, that today sell for between 28 and 30 million dollars. Each. Da Vinci was left-handed, which I guess is what made him write like this. He actually wrote backwards. You would have to look in a mirror to read it. How cool is that? We right-handers right left to right, but he wrote right to left, with every word backwards. Believe it or not, I learned this in school. Ha, Leonardo da Vinci's handwriting- something to think about.
