Jesus, Jesus. by Noah Gundersen

"Jesus, Jesus, could you tell me what the problem is with the world and all the people in it? Because I’ve been hearing stories about the end of the world, but I’m in love with a girl and I don’t wanna leave her. And the television screams such hideous things, they’re talking about the war on the radio. They say the whole thing’s gonna blow and we will all be left alone--No, we’ll be dead and we won’t know what hit us.

Jesus, Jesus, if you’re up there, won’t you hear me? ‘Cause I’ve been wondering if you’re listening for quite a while. And Jesus, Jesus, it’s such a pretty place we live in, and I know we screwed it up, but please be kind. Don’t let us go out like the dinosaurs or blown to bits in a third world war. There are a hundred different things I’d still like to do. I’d like to climb to the top of the Eiffel Tower, look up from the ground at a meteor shower, and maybe even raise a family.

Jesus, Jesus, there are those that say they love you, but they have treated me so damn mean. And I know you said ‘forgive them for they know not what they do’, but sometimes I think they do, and I think about you. If all the heathens burn in hell, do all their children burn as well? What about the Muslims and the gays and the unwed mothers? What about me and all my friends? Are we all sinners if we sin? Does it even matter in the end if we’re unhappy?

Jesus, Jesus, I’m still looking for answers, though I know that I won’t find them here tonight. But Jesus, Jesus, could you call me if you have the time? And maybe we could meet for coffee and work it out. And maybe then I’ll understand what it’s all about."

No, I didn't die.



Hi! Its me. Yes, me. the long lost traveler. I've been away. Traveling with The Doctor.

Yeah right. I WISH. lol.

Yes, I know. There's absolutely no excuse. *hangs head*

Sooo. Whats up. I'm a total nerd. and yes I just figured that out. (DOCTOR WHO FTW!!!!)






What else. I got another horse. Her name is Summer.

She was maybe....18 months when I got her. And no one had ever been on her back. And I broke her to ride. She's absolutely amazing. X)

Embarrassing fact

This is a post from my good friend over at Inaudible Melodies. Go see her blog! She's awesome. :)

Girls, we don't know how to take compliments from guys.

Guys don't know how to compliment girls.

The desolation and break-down of old fashion chivalry -for the most part, has lead to this. It simply makes us uncomfortable when a guy tells us we look nice, but this rarely happens where a crush, blindness or alcohol isn't involved.
This is unfortunate indeed.
Girls, we spend a lot of time and energy trying to look nice especially for times when minimal makeup and ponytail won't cut it, like a dance, church or evening out. Why does it make us feel nervous and awkward when a guy tells us "you look pretty"?

Perhaps it's caused by the lack of respect girl and guy friends have for eachother in our culture. Young men are not protecting and honouring their sisters in Christ. Young women are not being hounorable and pure, resulting in distrust and wariness of any boy who would compliment us without a double motive or sarcasm, and boys who don't want to.

Perhaps in a world of digital, shallow profile-picture compliments, we aren't used to genuine, human interaction and are caught off-guard when we encounter it.

Guys shouln't be afraid to compliment a girl. girls, we shouldn't be afraid to answer a compliment with an honoured "thank you"

Thoughts?

My horse

Yes. Isn't he GORGEOUS? <3

You know you're a die-hard goat owner when...

...you get AluShield all over your phone and its not the first time. In fact, its almost a normal thing.

PLEASE tell me I'm not the only one this has happened to... :P

An Irish Twist

"I also hear that the Irish have a fantastic sense of humor...here's hoping... :^)"

Haha I love Daniel Gardner. I am SO going to Brazil to meet him!! :)

Saint Patrick's Breastplate

I bind unto myself today
The strong name of the Trinity,
By invocation of the same
The Three in One, and One in Three.

I bind this today to me forever
By power of faith, Christ’s incarnation;
His baptism in Jordan river,
His death on the Cross for my salvation;
His bursting from the spicèd tomb,
His riding up the heavenly way,
His coming at the day of doom
I bind unto myself today.

I bind unto myself the power
Of the great love of cherubim;
The sweet “Well done” in judgment hour,
The service of the seraphim,
Confessors’ faith, apostles’ word,
The patriarchs’ prayers, the prophets’ scrolls,
All good deeds done unto the Lord
And purity of virgin souls.

I bind unto myself today
The virtues of the star lit heaven,
The glorious sun’s life giving ray,
The whiteness of the moon at even,
The flashing of the lightning free,
The whirling wind’s tempestuous shocks,
The stable earth, the deep salt sea
Around the old eternal rocks.

I bind unto myself today
The power of God to hold and lead,
His eye to watch, His might to stay,
His ear to hearken to my need.
The wisdom of my God to teach,
His hand to guide, His shield to ward;
The Word of God to give me speech,
His heavenly host to be my guard.

Against the demon snares of sin,
The vice that gives temptation force,
The natural lusts that war within,
The hostile men that mar my course;
Or few or many, far or nigh,
In every place and in all hours,
Against their fierce hostility
I bind to me these holy powers.

Against all Satan’s spells and wiles,
Against false words of heresy,
Against the knowledge that defiles,
Against the heart’s idolatry,
Against the wizard’s evil craft,
Against the death wound and the burning,
The choking wave, the poisoned shaft,
Protect me, Christ, till Thy returning.

Christ be with me, Christ within me,
Christ behind me, Christ before me,
Christ beside me, Christ to win me,
Christ to comfort and restore me.
Christ beneath me, Christ above me,
Christ in quiet, Christ in danger,
Christ in hearts of all that love me,
Christ in mouth of friend and stranger.

I bind unto myself the name,
The strong name of the Trinity,
By invocation of the same,
The Three in One and One in Three.
By whom all nature hath creation,
Eternal Father, Spirit, Word:
Praise to the Lord of my salvation,
Salvation is of Christ the Lord.

Happy Saint Patrick's Day, y'all!!!! :)
