Yeah -- I got no response on a couple, almost.

Chuck Swindoll (my favorite preacher) was talking about a kid who was praising and he just named everything he saw.

It dawned on me, when I was doing good praise... God said "boring" and I realized you want to think of God like a person, not a bean counter who gives you credits for praise or whatever. I'd go so far to say, natural conversation is better than praise, perhaps.

There was a black guy in a purple page wig mocking me.

By all accounts, they should be getting good responses?

I giggle at this story.

Now Abel kept flocks, and Cain worked the soil. 3 In the course of time Cain brought some of the fruits of the soil as an offering to the Lord. 4 And Abel also brought an offering—fat portions from some of the firstborn of his flock. The Lord looked with favor on Abel and his offering, 5 but on Cain and his offering he did not look with favor. So Cain was very angry, and his face was downcast.

6 Then the Lord said to Cain, “Why are you angry? Why is your face downcast? 7 If you do what is right, will you not be accepted? But if you do not do what is right, sin is crouching at your door; it desires to have you, but you must rule over it. ”

8 Now Cain said to his brother Abel, “Let’s go out to the field.”[d] While they were in the field, Cain attacked his brother Abel and killed him.

9 Then the Lord said to Cain, “Where is your brother Abel?”

“I don’t know, ” he replied. “Am I my brother’s keeper?”

10 The Lord said, “What have you done? Listen! Your brother’s blood cries out to me from the ground. 11 Now you are under a curse and driven from the ground, which opened its mouth to receive your brother’s blood from your hand. 12 When you work the ground, it will no longer yield its crops for you. You will be a restless wanderer on the earth. ”

If you are thinking the contact movie, yer a fucken retard! God's ways are far above man's ways. Easter religion is manly; Western is Godly. Eastern is dull rational; Western is surprising.

You have no idea how much better God is because He talks in riddles. Your God would suck eggs.

8:9 The wise men are ashamed, they are dismayed and taken: lo, they
have rejected the word of the LORD; and what wisdom is in them? 8:10
Therefore will I give their wives unto others, and their fields to
them that shall inherit them: for every one from the least even unto
the greatest is given to covetousness, from the prophet even unto the
priest every one dealeth falsely.

Far and wide lay a ruined country, yielding nothing but desolation.
Every green leaf, every blade of grass and blade of grain, was as
shrivelled and poor as the miserable people. Everything was bowed
down, dejected, oppressed, and broken. Habitations, fences,
domesticated animals, men, women, children, and the soil that bore
them--all worn out.

Umm... this is the same God as in the Bible. It's not Contact. Go read the Bible.

God seems to be bound by restraints -- it's like a millionare. You can love Him but not get any money. He loves back, that should be what you crave.

Fuck you hardball reporters. God once said death was "awful". He said He liked Highlander, once.

Only one, and he a miserable creature, of a crazed aspect, is so
shattered and made drunk by horror, that he sings, and tries to
dance. Not one of the whole number appeals by look or gesture, to
the pity of the people.

Okay, you guys were better men than I and probably should be commended for asking God to care for people. I once reluctantly asked if I should try to be a healer and God said, "It's complicated."

You have to have a relationship with God before a crisis, maybe. I don't know.

11I know every bird in the heights;

whatever moves in the wild is mine.

12Were I hungry, I would not tell you,

for mine is the world and all that fills it.f

13Do I eat the flesh of bulls

or drink the blood of he-goats?

14Offer praise as your sacrifice to God;g

fulfill your vows to the Most High.

15Then call on me on the day of distress;h

I will rescue you, and you shall honor me.”

God knows the names of all the birds. I understand what they are talking about -- birds don't store food and must eat every day and somehow are supplied enough, for the most part. (Jesus mentioned two sparrows cheap, but cared for by God.)

wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes.

11:26 Even so, Father: for so it seemed good in thy sight.

11:27 All things are delivered unto me of my Father: and no man
knoweth the Son, but the Father; neither knoweth any man the Father,
save the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son will reveal him.

aware.
Was it the mat winked,
Or a nervous star?
The moon slides down the stair
To see who's there.

There's plunder, -- where?
Tankard, or spoon,
Earring, or stone,
A watch, some ancient brooch
To match the grandmamma,
Staid sleeping there.

Day rattles, too,
Stealth's slow;
The sun has got as far
As the third sycamore.
Screams chanticleer,
"Who's there?"
And echoes, trains away,
Sneer -- "Where?"
While the old couple, just astir,
Fancy the sunrise left the door ajar!
