Defy Definitions?

 The new catchcry of the queer community is "defy definitions!".

Winston Peters has upset some people by accusing some of "rent-a-crowd" and a few want to take him to court! So it goes.

This has lead to the strange situation of them offering him a way out by donating $100 to their organization but taking a lawyer to court doesn't sound wise. It's like challenging a native to a fight in the jungle. He's going to win. Pronoun intentional.

I think you will agree that definitions matter. I gave the example of the carnage of young New Zealanders because they are not defined as human beings while in their mummies tummies, in a previous post.  I don't know how the law has decided when a baby becomes human. It was probably a utilitarian thing that suited a female prime minister. I remember the last one saying 5 months, which seems odd for a woman, you'd think they would be aware of something living in their womb. I bet she didn't say to the guy she lived with suddenly "its five months, now we are going to have a baby dear".

As Jesus said "...life means more than food and clothing".

I wouldn't embrace a croissant,rather maybe some salmon on a muffin with poached egg and spinach. 

Friday

 "You cannot be the slave of God and money...do not store up for yourself treasures on earth". Mat 6

"When Athaliah the mother of Ahaziah learned that her son was dead she promptly did away with all those of royal stock...." 2 Kings 11

Lots of intrique in 2 Kings...

Jesus warns us that our hearts will always be where our money is, if the way we see the world is wrong we will live in evil.

Barrelman says "Lot of people see world wrong. They don't like seeing me without  barrel. Why,why,why?"

Embrace your cross.

Thurs,

 Last time I went to a barber he took thirty seconds and charged me $27. I can do better than that I thought in italics. So yesterday I went to Noel Leeming and spent $99 on a hair cutter. I resisted the temptation to buy the Remington $30 set. The Philips are excellent. Self sharpening and with a dial for adjusting height. 

Well there's not much to cut these days anyway! Mmmm wouldn't mind having a go at Arnold's too.

Embrace your cross.

Wed

 Just got back from travelling around the blogs. RBB seems to have latched onto 888 as the number of Jesus. Maybe a explanation is required. 

Older languages didn't have numbers. The letters of the alphabet were used instead. Ancient Hebrew was one. So when they read a text they were also looking at numbers so it was quite natural to add up the letters of a name. Nero added up to 666. He was 'the beast'.  Jesus added up to 888. If you apply that to the days of the week 666 would be a Friday . 888 would be the first day of the week which is Sunday signifying Christ's resurrection and a new beginning.

I see our government wants to define the word woman. "An adult human biological female". Makes sense to me. Don't get me wrong. I'm not bashing Trans. It's just common sense. 

I would like to see them define a human being too to avoid the nonsense that a baby in the womb only becomes a human being after a certain period after conception. 99% of scientists are not confused and believe a human being begins at conception. 

I've decided to change my motto: "Have fun and don't sin". After listening to Joe Heschmeyer, I've decided that it is a bit modernistic and wishy washy (the video isn't available at the time of posting to non-patreons). Reminiscent of lukewarm  young so called Christians who just pray when they want something. "Embrace your cross" is better and more descriptive of the Christian journey.

Embrace your cross.

Love your enemies (and little babies).

 ..."If you love those who love you what right have you to claim credit". Jesus Mat 5

The elections must be coming up. My union wants me to vote Labour. I haven't heard that National has done anything bad except killing lots of little babies. In the Philippines they have "Birthing Centres". Here we have "Family Planning" I think. People must know that killing little babies is wrong or they would advertise them more honestly. "Get rid of your baby here" or "Are you 30 + and want to keep your wealthy life-style, pop in".

Have to run.

Have fun and be pro-life.

Monday

 Thankyou God for this wonderful world and all you give me. I haven't done anything to deserve your generosity. Your world is beyond comprehension. Your intellect beyond limit. I pray you forgive those who treat you with contempt. 

11th Sunday in ordinary time Year A.

 "If you obey my voice and hold fast to my covenant...I will count you a kingdom of priests, a consecrated nation". Ex 19:2-6

"Know that he, the Lord, is God. He made us, we belong to him, we are his people, the sheep of his flock". Psalm 99

"...what proves that God really loves us is that he died for us while we were still sinners" Romans 5:6-11

"The harvest is rich but the labourers are few..do not turn your steps to pagan territory...go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel" Mat 9:36

It's sad that many of the lost sheep refused to come back to the fold. God loved the Israelites then in the end they rejected him once and for all. He replaced them with the pagans. Which is good for us. It's great to be a part of God's kingdom; to have hope of eternal happiness. Everyone is welcome. Anyone can convert to Catholicism or renew their Catholicism. 

I've got nothing planned today except for Mass and buying a cover for the cell phone. The Motorola turned out to be a good buy. What cost me $180 Aus  retail here for over $400. I've reinstalled all the apps. They are so much more than communication devices or cameras. I almost need two; an expendable one for just texting and pictures. 

Time for bacon and egg. 

Have fun and give back to God some thanks and attention.
