Doctor Who, #YOLO, and Rabbit Trails.

As of late, many of my siblings and I have immersed ourselves into the world of Doctor Who.

For those of you who are unfamiliar with the show's premise it follows the adventures and mishaps of a quirky alien with two hearts who calls himself "The Doctor" and avoids death at every turn. On the rare event that the Doctor cannot avoid death he may then "regenerate" into another body, thus escaping such a tragedy.

Instead of You Only Live Once, it's You'll Only Live As Long As You Regenerate.

#YOLALAYR

The show never even tries to be close to real life. The Doctor's nemesis's are over-sized garbage cans turned upside down with a plunger strapped to one side and wisk on the other, for crying out loud!!

It's a good thing it doesn't claim to be too real. Because, we don't have #YOLALAYR. We have it's more sad realization #YOLO. Only once. Not twice. Not three times. No do overs or second chances.

Very sadly enough we each only have one life to do with as we please. And even more sadly, I can't decide what you do with your life.

I can't constantly hit you upside the head with a Louisville slugger every time you make an unwise decision. That's right. It's your decision. Though, whoever decided it was your decision to be stupid.... hmm....

I wonder how often God feels like this. He gives us advice and guidance directly through the Bible, as well as through our own walk with Him. Yet, we are idiots. We are so lucky to have the ultimate example spelled out in black and white (and red). We have it on our phones, mp3 devices, tablets, e-readers. We have email reminders, we receive the verse of the day texts. We wear t-shirts with verses tacked onto them. We have absolutely every convenience known to man and yet we still use every possible excuse... or "reason" to delay actually delving face first into just reading, studying, enthrolling ourselves in the word of the Lord.

I realize all too well that merely opening your Bible doesn't make your life better. And I know first hand that sometimes it's hard to make time for God.

Pause ▐▐

Perhaps this is where our troubles lay?

We should not be "making time for God". Ideally we should be so deep and enthralled in Him that it's everything else we are making time for.

I have nothing else to say.

Christian Girl Thingy Majigs. ~ Part 1

Sometimes, being a Christian girl isn't so easy, we run across problems frequently. Some a bit on the shallow side... some serious. Here is the start of a list of about bajazillion random Christian girl problems I've run into in my life.

NOTE: I do not mean to offend anybody by the following. All problems, or random situations in general, are based off of either life experiences of my own, or ones I have witnessed, though humorous they may be.

So, without further ado...

1. Getting the "gag-order" in sunday school for answering too many of the questions.

2. Using "I'm dating Jesus" as an excuse for being single.

(Not that I need an excuse to be single...) *COUGH*

3. It doesn't seem statistically possible, but all the good Christian boys are taken, and all the good Christian girls are single.

4. Gossip prayer requests...

5. Getting used to the term "baby ears".

6. Choosing between Relient k at Rock the Universe, or Tenth Avenue North at Night of Joy... Why must they be the same weekend!!??

7. There is no "Courting" option under facebook relationship statuses. We should start a petition...

8. Nobody understands your crush on Martin Luther.

9. Finding modest enough undershirts.

10. Beverly Lewis novels aren't coming out fast enough.

11. The Love Comes Softly movies should be burned at the stake for being so completely unlike the books.

12. Having nightmares after reading the Left Behind series.

13. Preparing for the end of the world after reading the Left Behind series.

14. The realization that you can't marry any of the characters from Narnia.

15. Being disappointed when your closet doesn't take you to Narnia.

15.5. Finding out Narnia isn't real...

16. Having to have a third wheel (a.k.a. chaperone) on all of your "dates".

17. BEING the third wheel on somebody else's date.

18. Not wearing make-up until you're fifteen... maybe sixteen.

19. Your friends parents telling them that they should be more like you.

20. Definition of partying = staying up all night with friends.... playing scrabble.

21. Not being allowed to watch Harry Potter, or read the books.

22. Not being allowed to associate with Twilight anything.... Who am I kidding?? That's not a problem!!!

23. Checking movies on Plugged in before watching them.

24. People see your purity ring and ask if your engaged.

25. Holding in the laughter during the chapter on evolution...


Whooopss!! It's getting mighty late... kinda, and I think my brain needs a nap! So stay tuned for the 76 to follow!

Feel free to share the randomness and give suggestions for more posts!! (Believe it or not my brain doesn't constantly poop ideas!)

To Be Continued...

It's the End of the World!! Everybody Panic!!

I know they found another Mayan calendar that continues life much further, so everyone is allowed to calm down now. Woo hoo, whipee, only another hundred years or so before they make more doomsday movies... or not.

But here's a crazy thought, what IF the world really does end?

What if, in about 8 days on the winter solstice the world ends??

What do we do with the last 8, very short, days we have left?!?!

Do we warn the citizens of large cities?? Roaming the streets yelling "The End is Nigh!!!!"??

Do we spend all our money in the casinos and party it up? Open all our Christmas gifts early?? Pull out the big guns and shoot at anyone that comes on our land???

Oh, wait... We do that anyway.

You gotta protect land. Money comes and goes. People do too. But land, it's constant, it remains.... *cough* Excuse my random rant on land... Where was I?

Oh, yeah! If we really had just 8 days left to live normally, before the end of the world began. (because lets face it, it wouldn't be all at once. It would happen slowly...) Before mass chaos breaks out, before the world would be dramatically changed forever...

If you knew you only had 8 days left to live the life that you were currently living? What would you do? I know that people like to have the attitude "Live like it's your last day on earth!" as an excuse to be lazy with their lives and party. But if I knew it was my last day to live, why would I waste it partying? Emphasis on waste. 

Personally, if I knew for a fact that I only had 8 days left of normal living, I'd do nothing. I would act like all is normal. (Aside from making a trip to walmart and buying TONS of ammo.) As much as I can complain, and get annoyed and blah blah about all my problems, and vent, and whatever else I do, I like this life.

I love my family, I love my friends, and when the end comes I would cherish the memories all the more. Instead of drinking myself to oblivion and partying my days away, or going of on a cruise, or flying to New Zealand (which is very tempting by the by) I shall merely live.

And in 8 days, when the world probably won't end, I shall have dinner as normal with my family.
