Some Things I Like I suppose I could have included much of this in all of that "about me" stuff in my profile?! However, alot of those things I would like to qualify as to why I like them rather than just stating a list (I mean...that ain't no fun!). Motorcycles - Man...I love motorcycles...that seems like one of the most free, enjoyable things someone could do is just ride off in the country or someplace and just enjoy the journey, no destination... But here's the catch...I've ridden 3 times in my life, and I've wrecked all 3 times! OK, folks thats not coincidence...its not a trend...thats a sign! If we had found that in the Bible, it would be elegible to be declared a doctrine! LOL Its not that I can't ride well...or I should say, its not that I don't understand how to ride a motorcycle...its just I'm incapable of it! There is just something about getting on a motorcycle that compels to see how fast I can go. Fences, buildings, stop signs and even other vehicles don't appear all that intimidating when your flying by on a motorcycle...at least not until IMPACT!!! These days I pacify myself with admiring them from a safe distance. The Road Not Taken - Given the above on motorcycles, this seems like a good follow-up to that huh? But, I am of course referring to the poem by Robert Frost. It may have occurred to a few of you by now...I may have taken this "fearfully and wonderfully made" thing to a new level (emphasis fearfully)! My mother would say I am the literal personification of "peculiar people"...and I've said all that to say "The Road Not Taken" is biographical to me...so, therefore I like it! I like how there is a struggle between the choice of paths. Knowing that to take one is to forsake the other! But to look back and see not only has the choice affected us in our journey, but in who we are! Yes, grasshopper...think upon these things. City Of Angels - The movie with Nicholas Cage and Meg Ryan. Now while it is in no way accurate in a biblical sense, there is a certain discourse between Cage and Ryans characters in this film I find...hmmmm...intriguing... compelling... attractive...I may even admit to covetous (sorry...but it is the truth). Anytime that Nicholas Cage's character speaks with Meg Ryan's character...he acts like that whatever she has to say is the most important thing ever said!? He hangs on every word...even to the point of asking her to describe what a pear tastes like, AND to describe it the way Hemingway would have wrote about it?! WOW...thats powerful! Would I like for someone to look at me like that and listen to me like that?! Darn tootin' there scooter! But, the power in such a thing is not desiring to be heard in that way...that friends, would be too easy. I want and desire to listen to someone like that! Tell me what a pear tastes like in a such a way that I am moved to tears! Tell me how your day was so that I am awed as if you were speaking about nuclear fusion! And theres the rub...its not what she says...its not the way she says it...its not even who she is...but who she is to him! What more need be said to that?! Second scene: Cage and Ryan are in a library...Ryans's character is rambling on about what he does for a living, how he dresses, etc., and Cage's character Interrupts: Cage : You are a very good doctor. Ryan : How would you know? Cage : I...uhhh, have a feeling. Ryan : Feeling? Feelings are hardly substantial evidence of capability! Cage : Close your eyes and give me your hand (as he moves closer to her and begins to slowly run his index finger from the tip of her middle finger to the palm of her hand...all the while speaking softly near her ear)What am I doing? Ryan : You...your touching me...?! Cage : How do you know? Ryan : Because I can... (and her eyes open in understanding)...feel it. OK, not only is that an excellent example of Hebrews 11: 1, but who wouldn't identify with either of those characters at that moment? It encompasses love (not only romantic love, but even a reflection of Agape love)and trust, and a certain sweetness that too often is left forgotten at the alter of our innocence these days. Sooo...thats a few things I really like. How about you? |

Ummmmmmmmm........ok wow, you drew me in with that post. I hung on to your every word, the way you described that movie. I love that movie, it's dark, it pulls you in and I could feel everything the way you described it, as the way I felt when I watched it. I have never read your posts but the funny with the drum stick made me look into your blog more. I'll be paying attention to Lessessmore. I'll catch up on your other posts sometime this weekend. Peace and love, Ginny (P.S. Mother of 2 drummers with 3 drum sets in my house plus a whole slew of instruments to make 2 bands!!! There definitely is a special place in heaven for me!!! Nah, just teasing, I live for the moments I hear them play, when you hear them playing better and better every time to the point when you actually have to figure out which one is playing. The younger guy is getting better all the time. I especially love when my eldest plays the piano!! ) * Sin is sin. Careful what comes across your lips & out your finger tips!!! * We are all the Body of Christ. Let's treat each other as such, with the same respect we give to HIM!! * Relationship advice: DO NOT make someone a PRIORITY, when they ONLY make you an OPTION!! * A woman's heart should be so lost in God, that a man has to seek HIM in order to find her!!
