I Guess This Post Is About My Cat

Well, my poor readers, I thought.  I've been too busy for them lately.  They must feel so dejected.  I must do my best to make up for my absence.  Of course -- I'll give them a handful of cat pictures they don't care twopence about!  There will be nothing more soothing for their heartache.

Don't be too mad with me.

To start it off:

This is the little guy who made an undeniable impression in an earlier post of mine: Skittles.  He's my baby.  Demanding, stubborn, mischievous, and oh-so-cute.  A cuddler and a rascal.  And currently a flea-bag.  We're working on that bit. 

 

This is him doing aerobics!

 

He was sleeping like this.  I mean, his torso is turned almost 180 degrees from his hindquarters!  I don't know a large number of cats, but I'm pretty sure that this is unusual.  ;P

I AM motion!

 And one last pic for cuteness:

Panis de Deo

          Why do you complain, Jacob?
               Why do you say, Israel,
          “My way is hidden from the Lord;
               my cause is disregarded by my God”?
          Do you not know?
               Have you not heard?
          The Lord is the everlasting God,
               the Creator of the ends of the earth.
          He will not grow tired or weary,
               and his understanding no one can fathom.

-- Isaiah 40:27, 28

Panis de Deo

          Lift up your eyes and look to the heavens:
               Who created all these?
          He who brings out the starry host one by one
               and calls forth each of them by name.
          Because of his great power and mighty strength,
               not one of them is missing.

--Isaiah 40:26

Book Reviews?

When I first began this blog, I thought I would be writing some book reviews.  And I think I will be, but they will be the type that praise (or critique) the writing or the philosophy contained in the story.  (Hey, philosophy's cool!  In little bits.  Please don't be scared of me...)

So I thought I would recommend to you all a great website that better examines stories' moral content: Squeaky Clean Reviews.  I know, great name, right?  They will tell you if a book has swearing, sexual content, any questionable spirituality, etc.  They're pretty thorough.  All books are held to a Christian standard.  Reviews are written by other teenagers and adults and are edited (if necessary) by the website editors.

Yes, I am one of the many reviewers on there.  But I won't tell you who!

God bless!

Panis de Deo

          He brings princes to naught
               and reduces the rulers of this world to nothing.
          No sooner are they planted,
               no sooner are they sown,
               no sooner do they take root in the ground,
          than he blows on them and they wither,
               and a whirlwind sweeps them away like chaff.

 

          “To whom will you compare me?
          Or who is my equal?” says the Holy One.

--Isaiah 40:23-25

quote!

From C.S. Lewis, of course.  Hey, it's not my fault the guy said such cool things!

I really love this one...

 

“There are no ordinary people. You have never talked to a mere mortal. Nations, cultures, arts, civilizations - these are mortal, and their life is to ours as the life of a gnat. But it is immortals whom we joke with, work with, marry, snub and exploit - immortal horrors or everlasting splendors. This does not mean that we are to be perpetually solemn. We must play. But our merriment must be of that kind (and it is, in fact, the merriest kind) which exists between people who have, from the outset, taken each other seriously - no flippancy, no superiority, no presumption.”

― C.S. Lewis (emphasis added)
