Science

Webster says--Science is the state of knowing:  knowledge as distinguished from ignorance. 

It's not rocket science folks to know how to spoil our little Erin--just buy her ice cream and give her what ever she wants.  Ya, we are in CO; actually camping by Buena Vista for a couple of days.  Hank, James (i.e. both Secretariats) and I (i.e. a slow plow horse) hiked Mt. La Plata today (i.e. one of CO's 52 14ner--14,000 ft mts).   We left a 5 and spend 8.5 hours on the mt.  You ask why would you do that.  I am stealing the answer from Tommy, the owner who helped us decide to hike this mt.  Tommy's answer is--Somewhere between the trail head and the summit.  Ya, I got the life of Riley. 

Life is not an exact science (i.e. like A + B = C).  There seems to be many uncertainties even when you  have all the ducks in order (i.e. ya got it all planned out).  GerogeTheCrook says--There will be speed bumps and you just need to deal with them.  I had a nice talk with my neighbor/friend recently who knows about speed bumps.  He and his wife have such a good attitude.  Life is not always easy folks.  You think you are the only ones with frustrations, well, you are wrong.  It's not if, it's when we will face tough situations.  MissPerfect says--Life is not about waiting for the storms to pass...it is learning about how to dance in the rain. Flipthepancake...there are many good things that happen that we don't plan for 'em (i.e. just happen out of the blue--fall in our lap).  My mentor says--When things are going good, we think they will always be good and when things are going bad we think they will always be bad--that's not the case (i.e. so don't be surprised when things change).  I was recently sitting on the bench next to a friend.  She told me how some of her friends hurt her real bad and she was very upset (i.e. are they really your good friends).  ANYWAY she went on to say that 'cause of that situation something really good came out of it.  LuckkieEddie says--When you have problems, that's when you can tell who your good friends are (i.e. friends think about others and not about themselves a.k.a. self-centered).  Good friends just accept you as you are and love you anyway.  Such is life.

WildWilly says--My Parents taught me about the science of OSMOSIS ."Shut your mouth and eat your supper."  Hey, it's not an exact science probably but it's the truth--it really works.  I'm reading Proverbs (i.e. one chapter each morning--31 of them).  I want you to join me.  Will you?  Much of Proverbs is about wisdom--wisdom of how to make your life right.  Is it a science?  I don't know but I do know if we would follow this wisdom, our lives would be much better.  It takes maybe 2 minutes each morning to read a chapter.  Try it, you might like it!  Such is life.

We got a short profile of the little girl Julia who we support in Guatemala (i.e. she sat on Arlene's lap when she was there on a mission trip).  On the bottom it says--How you can pray for Julia.  And one of ways is: Breaking of generational curses.  Do you believe in generational curses?  I goggled it and wow, there are a lot of opinions.  Soooooo is America today going to cause a curse for future generations?  Are generational curses a science, make believe, or really curses from God?  What do you think? Some experts think that generational curses can be broken only by accepting Jesus as your Lord and Saviour.  That's not a scientific theory but a spiritual theory.  What do you think about that?

The world of the Wonder of Science.  It's is amazing--really amazing.  Ya take the medical science world.
They can save and prolong the life of a 100 year old and a premature baby.  It's a long ways form the universal cure of bloodletting for any mental or physical problem.  But it all cost money folks.  A lot of money to do this medical science and someone has to pay for it.  And guess what, that someone is you (i.e. well, some of you).  I read in the paper (i.e. so it must be right) that in 2030 the majority of the folks will be obese in America.  ItchieBitchie says--Us obese folks are going to pass legislation that all obese folks are disabled and entitled to compensation from the government including free health care (i.e. it will pass since we are the majority).  The 49% will have to pay.  Not exactly--maybe 10% are already on disability, 30% are on SS, and another 10% are on some other type of government program sooooooo that leaves maybe 9% of you to pay.  Ouchy ouchy!

JoeBlow says--It's a science to say just the right words at just the right time.  Don't be like the man who joined a monastery in which the monks were allowed to speak only two words every seven years. After the first seven years had passed, the new initiate met with the abbot, who asked him, "Well, what are your two words?" "Food's bad," replied the man, who then went back to his silence. Seven years later the clergyman asked, "What are your two words now?" "Bed's hard," the man responded. Seven years later - twenty-one years after his initial entry into the monastery - the man met with the abbot for the third and final time. "And what are your two words this time?" the abbot asked. "I quit." "Well, I'm not surprised," the cleric answered disgustedly. All you've done since you got here is complain!" Don't be like that man; don't be known as a person whose only words are negative. If you're a member of the "negative grapevine," resign. Contrary to what you may have heard, talk is not cheap. Talk is powerful!

SusieQ says--It can be a science to know how to handle folks of different ideas!  Some folks get it down to a science.  Some folks can change another persons thinking without them even knowing it.  Is that a science do you think?  In sales, they teach just this--some claim to be a good salesperson, you got to learn the science to how to make the sale (i.e. what ever it takes)--it's all about the money.  I was never a very good sales person if that was the bases of success.  A friend tells me that I'm not very good with woman 'cause I have too direct approach (i.e. to honest and not smooth enough).  He says I should consult him before talking to Arlene!  Ouchy ouchy!  I need to use his approach more.  I haven't learned it yet.  Such is life.

"The difference between genius and stupidity is that genius has its limits." ~ Albert Einstein ~ LuckieEddie says--You ever have someone try to sell you a dead horse. They don't seem to realize that the horse is dead!  They just can't bury the dead horse!  It's time to change and move on (i.e. that's my opinion).  This stuff I wrote is only a trailor of real life a.k.a. the real deal. Joesixpack says--That's a lot of stuff you wrote there ervie!  You're right Joesixpack, a lot of stuff, good or bad, I don't know but I know it's a lot of stuff.  Many times we are presented with the truth, and refuse to accept the evidence of our eyes and ears (i.e. I can't see what you are tellin' me!).  Discerning the truth is not easy folks.  CadillacJack says--Many scientific minds have a hard time accepting Jesus as their Lord and Saviour (i.e. it can't be proven scientifically). Such is life.

A heretic is one who dissents from an accepted belief or doctrine a.k.a a nonconformist.  Galileo was condemned as a heretic supporting Copernicus's thesis that the earth resolves around the sun and not vica virsa.  Believing in Christ goes against all accepted scientific traditional opinions.  Some of those accepted scientific opinions are found out to not always being right (e.g. earth is flat).  Making a change from science to trusting God (i.e. from a rocket scientist to believing in God) could make a guy gurgle!  Such is life.

We have a couple of scientists in our family (i.e. real scientists--a niece and her husband).  This is what a real scientist has to say:  Science is a broad topic to write about and understand. I learned in Bill Bryson's A Short History of Nearly Everything, that science and philosophy and religion all began as essentially the same area of study- a search for truth. I think that's interesting, because to many scientists, science has become their philosophy and/or religion. Studying chemistry, being a chemist, and teaching chemistry have made me appreciate science. But to me, the details of chemistry reveal an awesome, intelligent, and creative God. Now I am a different kind of scientist- a mom. I read on a greeting card, "Motherhood. It's not rocket science. It's brain surgery on astronauts during a lunar launch while reciting the Declaration of Independence backwards- only with less logic."

Have a FUN day my friends unless you have other plans. (-:
