|Albert Pujols is an icon in St. Louis but will be a free agent after the season ends. (Getty Images)
MILWAUKEE -- It's like the old prank telephone call: "Do you have Prince Albert in a can?"
Updated, modern NL Championship Series version: Prince, Albert, out of the can?
Two large dudes. Two enormous seasons. One yellow brick road.
Who knows how many clubs will be offering to re-pave it with gold bricks this winter?
The ground is quaking regularly beneath first base in this NLCS, and not as a result of Prince Fielder's girth or Albert Pujols' worth.
Brewers manager Ron Roenicke, who loathes the intentional walk, has ordered two of them in five games for Pujols, who is mauling Milwaukee to the tune of a .474 batting average, one homer and seven RBI (five coming in Game 2).
Cardinals manager Tony La Russa has countered by walking Fielder intentionally twice, threaded between Fielder's two homers, three RBI and 12 total bases.
"Both of them are having fun," Cardinals catcher Yadier Molina says. "And both of them are having great years."
Though both Pujols and Fielder long ago went mum on their impending free agency, it is impossible not to watch the two franchise icons at work and wonder, as this NLCS moves into its final innings with Game 6 here Sunday, whether we're watching one of them -- or both -- in the middle of his current club's lineup for the final time.

Nobody, not the Cardinals, not the Brewers, not the other 28 clubs, knows how this is going to play out.
The prediction here is that Pujols re-signs with the Cardinals this winter, because he is as much a part of St. Louis as the Mississippi River and Chuck Berry. In the end, I think both sides will realize that.
The other prediction here is that Fielder leaves the Brewers and signs elsewhere -- the Orioles? Nationals? Marlins? -- because that's what Scott Boras clients do. They spend the winter chasing hard after pots of gold.
"Both great players, been with one organization, with a possibility of maybe moving on," Roenicke acknowledges. "Both of them have performed great. I know Albert got off to a slow start, but his performance lately has been incredible.
"Prince is a guy that is a leader in our clubhouse. He's had a great season. We couldn't be here without what he's done for us this year on the field and off the field."
Fielder, 27, is a three-time All-Star -- and the game's MVP this summer. Pujols, who turns 32 in January, is a three-time MVP and nine-time All-Star.
Quite unpredictably this season, the path has been smoother for Fielder. Pujols got off to one of the worst starts of his career, hitting just .245 at the end of April. Then he hit just two home runs in 126 plate appearances in May.
Pujols, who finished the year batting .299 (the first time in his career he finished below .300) with 37 homers and 99 RBI (first time ever with fewer than 100 RBI), was so off-balance early that he was left off of the NL All-Star team for the first time since 2002.
La Russa says, in his opinion, the slow start had nothing to do with the upcoming uncertainty.
"What happened was what usually happens to him when he tries too hard," La Russa says. "When he does that, he's generally trying to help the team, not trying to generate stats.
"When he backs off, things get a little better."
Fielder, who played in all 162 games for the second time in three years, also hit .299 -- 17 points above his lifetime average. He finished with 38 homers and 120 RBI.
They talked during spring training "about where he was with his free agency", Roenicke says, and the manager figured he may have to revisit that chat a couple of times during the season.
That moment never came.
"He was focused the whole year, kept the clubhouse in order, kept it light when we needed to keep it light," Roenicke says. "His personality has been great this year."
As reserved as Fielder is -- intentionally -- with the media, he's the opposite behind the Brewers' closed clubhouse door. He can be loud, magnetic and funny. Sometimes, that joy is visible on the field, as when he playfully punched Cardinals second baseman Ryan Theriot in the gut rounding first base after Theriot stole a hit from him in Game 4.
"You obviously have respect for what he does on the field," says Theriot, who has known Fielder since 2001. "But he's a great person, too. A great family man and a great player."
Pujols' game always has emoted maniacal intensity more than joy. What not enough people realize is that he doesn't just beat you with his bat. His incredibly anticipatory play in Game 4 against the Phillies -- coming off the first base bag to take shortstop Rafael Furcal's throw more quickly so he could redirect it to third base to cut down Chase Utley, who was attempting to go from first to third on the ground ball -- will stand as one of the defensive highlights of this postseason.
Ace Chris Carpenter explained the other day that one reason he recently signed a hometown discount extension is because of the rich history in the Cardinals organization. Alumni from Bob Gibson to Lou Brock are regulars around Busch Stadium.
While Pujols isn't nearly as outwardly social and warm as many others, there still is no combination of money, organizational history and hometown warmth anywhere else to match what he has in St. Louis. Though, you wonder if his rebuffing of Cardinals' contract offers has begun to change some of the feeling toward him. At dinner in St. Louis the other night, a waitress was critical of her hometown hero, explaining how she used to like him until this year, when his old comments that "it isn't about the money" clearly are not ringing true.
Fielder acknowledged in a late-September interview with TBS that he probably will be playing in a place other than Milwaukee in 2012. That, though, became only a one-day story, says Brewers general manager Doug Melvin, who allowed Ivan Rodriguez's impending free agency to become a distraction when he was GM in Texas and vowed never to let that happen again.
"If we weren't winning, it would have been more of an issue," Melvin said. "We said all along, if we win, it would help the club and it would help Prince."
Both missions accomplished, Milwaukee now looks for one more win to push its season to Game 7.
Will Sunday be it for Fielder in Milwaukee?
"He's an awesome teammate," veteran pitcher Randy Wolf says. "He works his tail off every day. He's been awesome for two years. I don't know what will happen this offseason, but I'll definitely root for him to stay here -- selfishly."
If the Brewers come back and win the next two, will Monday be Pujols' final game for St. Louis?
"Everybody's aware of it," Carpenter says. "We're not concerned about it."
Prince, Albert, out of a can?
The ground trembles beneath first base. The NLCS races toward the finish line.

Patterns for Build A Bear outfits?
missemeraldJanuary 28, 2009
My daughter LOVES her Build A Bear friends and really wants her mommy to make her some outfits for them (I crochet). Unfortunately, I'm having a bit of trouble finding suitable patterns. Size-wise, the bears wear a preemie or maybe small newborn size, but most of the patterns that I find are booties and hats-- no dresses, etc. Does anyone have any experience with this or know where I find some good outfits that I can crochet for the bears? Thanks so much!!!!!
You might try here, at the link I've posted below. Or try the bernat, or lion brand web sites for their free patterns for babies or toys
Here is a link that might be useful: premie knit & crochet

Under the Christmas tree sits a nativity scene in the old town square. I sit on a rustic wood bench and reminisce on the stories I've been told about Jesus being born on Christmas Day. When all of a sudden I hear movement in the bushes; I turn my head and look over my shoulder. With a sudden fright, a tall pure white stallion with feathered wings, steps forward and says, "My name is Peg, climb on my back and I'll take you to where it all began." I arose to my feet and got on Peg's back, held on tightly to his mane. He galloped off at full speed facing into the wind and took off soaring into the night full of stars, being guided by a large, bright, glowing star.
Peg turned his head and said, "That is the Christmas Star ahead."
As I looked down below, I saw coming from the east, three men. Could they be the three Wise Men!
As we reach the star we slow down to a town. Peg said, "This is Bethlehem down below."
Peg starts descending close to a stable and lands. I anxiously dismount and we both walk towards the stable. My spirit was overpowered with awe, there in the small dim lite stable, we found a babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger, with his mother Mary kneeling beside Him.
The shepherds that were watching their flocks near the stable also came all elated, one of them said, "An angel appeared and told us a Savior, the Messiah, had been born and that we would find Jesus laying in a manger. So we immediately came to see if truly Jesus our Savior was borned. "
Heaven was rejoicing at the birth of a Savior for all people.
The three Wise Men arrived and said, "Where is He who has been born King of the Jews? For we have seen His star in the East and have come to worship Him." They gazed at the young Child and immediately fell down and worshiped Him, they presented their gifts to him of gold, frankincense, and myrrh.
We stayed for a while in admiration of our Lord Jesus.
After a time Peg said, " I need to get you back before you are missed."
Together we flew into the endless night back home to the Christmas tree where I had been before.

Genial to avoid confrontation
Baseborn kind, complaisant character
A spurious recital, a cheap imitation
Apocryphal mind, and comical creations
Counterfeited Christ
An unholy effusion
Sons of Belial
Clutch arcane knowledge
Esoteric information
Delve into oracular verse.
Deadened faith
Recondite belief denuded denials
Portentous and abstruse
Divested of the truth
Desolate road
Traveled day after day
Seriatim in miles
Strangled in hyperbole
Hypothetical noose
Cheaply loose
Suicidal salvation
Covertly clandestine
Do what art wilt
Deliver the chosen
indoctrinate guilt
Derision to the destined
To learn love over hate
Adoration to inculcate
Imbue their sick lessons.
Yes, it was real, it seared like desert sand;
I sensed a scorching sandstorm stirring:
warm winds whipping, hot cinders blowing in.
And you were there; compassion shining
in eyes that could read me,
a smile that could still a thrown stone.
Hostile tongues flung names at me like stones -
whore, slut, harlot.
When we met I was slinky-silken in scarlet;
your eyes, your smile, unpicked my harlot.
You loved the sinner in me,
embraced my human frailty.
Oh Lord, my lover,
how many times did my tears anoint you
as molten beads of your sweat anointed me?
I bent low at your feet, lowly,
like a fig tree bending to earth.
Was it tears or spheres of perfumed oil
that fell? I couldn't tell,
but I caressed away your cares,
wrapped you in silk spools of my hair.
Your memory is fire.
Your skin was desert,
burning bronze, scourged and scoured
by scalding winds of the puritanical,
yet thirsting for sensuality's oasis;
raindrop touches of my fingertips.
Liquid love poured from every pore
like aromatic oil.
I loved the man as they loved the myth.
And I could love you only like this:
pulsing in my arms with a human pulse,
incandescent with the zeal of my kiss.
Hot winds brought on hard heat.
Our final hours together were shifting sands
sifting through an hourglass, funnelling away.
But even as they drove each nail in
I felt the hot shuddering within,
knew that this was your release
from mortal flesh and sin.
Three days, three nights,
weeping at the womb of your tomb.
And now they find you risen, but I recall you risen
in my hands, your mouth pressed to mine.
So desert becomes oasis; arid earth
softening to the green of rebirth,
and I am a seed of love about to break,
my belly stippled and rippling with our child.
Went through a phase....thought maybe I should live life to the fullest,
and stop giving away 8 hours of each day, towards sleeping.
After the first week of sleep deprivation,
Buddha and Jesus both appeared simultaneously,
started following me wherever I went-
couldn't tell between hallucinations and reality.
Buddha helped write my final exams,
and Jesus always made sure that I didn't forget to eat.
After the second week, I was floating above my body....
no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't fall asleep anymore-
didn't just have second and third winds....I was having winds
to the 99th power extreme.
Jesus was telling me to try again and again,
while Buddha told me to hang in there,
for Nirvana was just around the corner.
Asked my buddy for some help,
and he gave me this little blue pill -
don't even touch aspirin anymore.
Well, the pill knocked me right out!
Tried so hard to fight against it,
having some doubts about what I had just swallowed.
Metallic galaxies of inner stars began pulling at my eyelids,
adding their massive core-gravity to my temples.
Red turned to black inside of my mind,
as little globules of pulsing light
floated before my inner-eye.
d o w n,
down, I spiralled,
thinking about picking cherries from the apple tree in Eden....
beautiful Japanese Geishas propping up the ladder
that pointed down into the rabbit hole.
Up was down,
as cherries were apples?
The branches of the tree resembled its roots in the ground-
perfect mirrors of each other,
as I sat in both places at once;
dream double looking back at me.
ZZzzzzZzzzzZZzzzZZZz....for almost 62 hours straight.
Must have lived a thousand lives in those dreams.
Woke up, wasn't sure if I was still sleeping?
Awoke into sweat and stale urine.
Started falling asleep in school.
Fell asleep at work.
Once you swallow the blue pill,
you can never go back-
the rabbit hole stretches into eternity.
Will someone please help me!?
I think Satan has possessed my gastronomical juices,
twisting up my stomach like a full garbage bag.
Please go and call over a Priest
to exorcize this demonic grip from within-
but I beg of you to get a heterosexual Father,
not one who will take advantage of my weakness.
I have been swallowing my own vomit for many days,
and can no longer hold back this thick, spewing craze.
My stomach feels more queasy than a seasick little girl,
the time is coming to launch forth my most foul hurl.
Pray to Black Jesus with my loud, retching vomit-song,
I do not want to be Vomiticus Grammaticus, for too long.
Oh! I just filled up both large-sized garbage bins up to the brim,
with ghastly floating chunks that look so very, very grim.
Two seagulls have started slurping up my rancid spew,
filthy, feathered swine, lapping up this most sickly stew.
Ugggh! Now my cat is licking up the vomit from off of the floor,
she is purring away, gobbling up my slimy, viscous gore.
The sight of her lapping up my....
Oh hot damn, shazzam! Vomit on the keyboard! Vomit dripping from my hair;
plugging up my ears, crawling up my nose with its terrible stench! Despair!
1 fish, 2 fish, 3 fish, 4 fish.
Red puke, green puke, yellow puke, blue puke.
No Sam, I do not want any more green eggs and ham!
Will someone please help me get rid of this Devil!?
I truly only mean well; I really, really do!
Pray to Black Jesus with my loud, retching vomit-song,
I do not want to be Vomiticus Grammaticus, for too long.
*Twisted poem, in the sense that this is actually a cryptic response
to my personal dealings here @Poetrysoup.com.
I don't think a lot of people realized at the time
how Vomiticus Grammaticus was really a hidden message about
some of the social politics that goes on @Poetrysoup.com,
and most other group settings as well.

I wish I could write you a love song
Fill with heart felt words
I wish I could say that I love you and meant every word
But as you know I am just a man
And even now as I have grown
I still cannot understand the meaning of those three letter words.
I spent my life searching
I spent my days hoping
Even now as I have aged and have a family of my own
I still do not understand the meaning of those three letter words
They say, that they love you
They say, that they care
But their words are cheap and weigh no value.
My heart is still broken
My bones are weak
My nights are restless
And my soul is asleep.
I feel so hopeless
Defeated and crush
These burdens I carry
Have me buried in a dump.
I try to call out
I try to shout
But these words I speak
No one can hear me.
God take my hand
Lift my pain
Save me from this cane
I am afraid its about to leave a big old stain.
Lord I am in so much pain
These scares bring nothing but shame
Jesus please let it rain
Save me, I think I am about to go completely in sane.
Your Glory
Surrounded by your glory- what can I feel?
Surrounded by your glory - what can I fear?
Surrounded by your glory, there is no pain.
There is no fear, there is no sorrow, because
You are my glory...
I Give My Love
To you JUSUS I am ready to give my love.
But I want it to be clean and pure. I come to
you to clean my soul and make white nas snow.
To you JESUS I bring you my heart. It is full of sacrs
that I could not heal, but you JESUS, will touch it and
make it new, so as of today JESUS my heart and my
love belongs to you...
JESUS MY Light
To me, you are my my guide. You are also
my light. You are what I need to make my
life right.
please JESUS come into my life. Come into
my heart. Please come and change my life.
Please shine on me your light.
When we were lost,
How did we feel,
Before we came to the cross
Is God real ?
Before that day,
When we turn from sin,
In a world in which we play,
Tired of the pain deep with in.
Jesus came to show a way,
To make stright the path,
For narrow is the gate,
Yet here we are at last.
Thru the days of wonder,
Now you can see his Glory,
His word are as Thunder,
Now can you see the true story ?
Yes, Our God is real,
My eye's have seen from where i've Been,
His love and grace my heart is sealed,
He calls me friend.
Forgiven, made whole,
I now walk and talk to him,
from the pit of hell from I was entering
Jesus saved my soul from all my sins.
~An Artist for the King~
She stood there in awe
Captivated by His eyes of peace
Attempting to recreate on a canvas the love that He delivers to mankind
She is new at this
She just met Him the other day
She only had to see His eyes once to know that she would be His subject
She only had to see the rainbows and prisms of kindness trapped within His eyes
To know that He was a wonder
He is a one of a kind
He is the King
She wanted this painting to be the most perfect painting of all time
She carefully arranged each brushstroke in a smooth circular fashion
It just could not be done
For there was only one that was perfect and that was the King
No imitations
No substitutes
When she finished her work she presented it to her new Master
He stood there in awe at the heart that she had for His eyes
Within His heart stirred a deep unexpected emotion
A single tear fell down His cheek
And in amazement she captured it an mixed it in with her paint
"It is finished now, she said
Now I have captured your essence
I have captured your true emotion
You are a King filled with love for your people
And I will study your eyes forever
Written by Gwendolen Rix
Life is precious , therefore he cultivates it
it's vastness among all his compositions
they flow like an aria from many instruments
you are excellent , oh my beloved
your handiwork threads all that surrounds me
the displays of your gifts
are bountiful
our rooms are overflowing and the table
with every good and perfect present
all completed by the workmanship of your hands
your visions perceive the finality
before even the crafting of it has begun
amply actualized by the fertility
of your own mind
your occupations are productive
as the lathes of heaven they turn
upon the axis of your thoughts
formulation upon formulation
their energies inexorable
the molding painting weaving casting
carving shaping and engraving
of the objects to be constructed
the movements of your mind
stretches into the grand designs
the substance of wealth
and nothing that does not delight
is missing
Your furnishings occupy the expanses
the depth of your artistry
is masterful
the pressure of your furnaces
mold our gems and ornaments
whose color radiates their clarity
the vaults are well lit
each rooms lighted chandeliers are suspended
in their canopies
each room sprayed abundantly with blooms
their fragrances permeate my soul
our curtains a covering in every shade
surrounding our homes
you have carpeted its surfaces with a mosaic
of brilliant treasures and whose form
is harmonious and pleasing
here every beautiful creature
play among their pillars
you have chiseled out the high ranges
the carvings of many sculptures
their dominion overshadows the landscapes
with an awl you split open the rock face
and release the mantles of the deep
where the water courses rush
to the well watered resting places
you churn the soil until it is fertile
and the tender sprouts spread
like legions of armies
every touch by you is nourishing and flourishes
those whom you apprentice
are bound to the ways
of the Master
where creativity has no boundaries
and every field is full
of life's expressions
Your instructions are in precision
and your skills you effectively teach
your productions are exquisite
your activity is ceaseless
as the burning energy of a Son

~ Grandma is a Honor ~
I have been blessed with 4 Grandchildren
~ one lays in Heaven " Kaleb " He is God's Angel ~
~ His twin brother he will always watch over , and be in his soul~
For he loved his Brother so much in the womb ,
he chose Heaven which gave life to his twin
~ I feel his spirit when I see the other Grandson ~
Time passed another gift to see
we are " Mickes" and Loved
Our Dad held the title in Baseball
~ that's how we roll ~
those children are Grandmas hero's
The Irish they love big and Family is everything
The brothers will protect the beautiful sister
~ as many lads will be calling ~
Every time my Grandson hits a home run
There will be a Angel watching proudly in the stand
It will be as if the Angel lifted him when he runs
~no one runs faster then my Grandson~
either baseball or Art ~ you shall find your gift given
These children have been blessed~
~ a beauty to hard to describe
If you think not ~~ Take a look at the Mom
That girl can stop Traffic
after raising three and still~
"Inspired by the gift and loss of Grandchildren "
May our precious " Kaleb " softly rest where Angels only Dwell
The sweetest sounds of burning trees
A gentle stroking in the breeze
The calm has lasted past the storm
Cloudy visions, Satan's roar
Too many sights have passed my way
A time found only in the haze
The softest screams are running bare
My aching bones creak as I stare
You walk a distance towards me
The fall's eternal, can't you see?
I'm a memory in your heart
I whisper to you in the dark
The battle's started at the end
No one is coming to repent
The sinners grab their wine from prey
No judgment calling here to stay
The sport is reckless to be told
The one is laughing at his souls
It falters nowhere to be sure
The power grows forevermore
Like a spirit in the wind
I have no say in where you've been
But cross the line to come to me
And pay the price for ecstasy
You walk a distance towards me
The fall's eternal, can't you see?
I'm a memory in your heart
I whisper to you in the dark.
Good Friday, is the day Jesus was crucified on the cross.
Jesus was willing to give His life for ours in order to give
us eternal life.
Easter Sunday, is the day Jesus rose from his tomb.
This is a joyous day and reminds us of His love for all
of us.
This is why I celebrate Easter, because I love Jesus for
all he did for you and for me.
He has prepared us a home in heaven and filled it with
his everlasting love for us.

They come from a different era
where patriotism is a just cause
they would fight for the true blue
never mind who was right or wrong
they stood staunch and egos proud
their chest out, backs straight and chins up
they come from an old style of thinking
I fight today as my father and grandfather did too.
fighting for an eye for an eye tooth for a tooth
I will die to serve my country even if its a lie
if you try to invade our land
we will come and conquer you
we are defenders of the truth
but the old timers forget
and the young ones have a narrow point of view
there was a time when the immigrants were Irish, Italians and jews
racism was rampant and that hasn't changed
Christians today still preach
'Jesus is savior they say repent your evil ways
pushing their rhetoric just like the roman empire did
amazingly America seems to be doing the same
history seems to repeat itself time and time again
war, religion, oil and what we perceive as freedom
we invade again and again and call it defending democracy
yet the intelligence comes from spies and other governments
because they have shared interests in different types of policy
they all carefully choose their words
because one slip of the lip could trigger war as it has happened before
todays war on terrorism is a campaign designed to instill pain
and un-trust to drain our resources from us
And our leader claimed up front this is not a religious war
yet he paraphrases from the bible we'll get those evil doers
you see bush fooled our religious leaders too.
he used their belief in Jesus he tricked 'em all just to get their vote
he claims he's a born again Christian and this Christians embraced him holly
but then one day bush spoke to Jesus and asked what to do with Iraq
Jesus responded Invade that country
Now dont get me wrong Jesus was not about war
he taught of peace, love and compassion
however his message has been twisted and turned over time
and history shows the hands of Christian religious leaders are always bloody
because they twist the truth to control dictatorship is always the goal
Bush had been plaining war before a judge handed him the seat
on his first day he signed a bill into law prevent any criminal charges against him
If You could Talk To Jesus
If you could talk to JESUS - what would you say?
If You could see him face to face - what would you do?
Would you tell him about your problems, or would you
just ask him to be your friend?
If you ever meet Him face to face - would you know who
He was? Well let me tell you - that he is not far away. He
already knows about you and sees you everyday. He is just
waiting for your call.
Jesus knows you very well ever since you were born, so
don't be afraid to talk to him. He is like your best friend.
whatever you tell Him - He won't tell a soul. He is very good
at keeping secrets, like no one else in the world.
If you can talk to JESUS - bare to Him your soul. Don't ever be
afraid , for He is the best friend that anyone could ever have.
Go now and talk to Him. He is waiting for your call....

The lion roars
while the lamb bleats.
He paces and prowls,
savoring the kill.
I would like to roar.
I hate this bleating.
I want to see them
quaking in fear.
I have not the claws
to rip and tear,
nor teeth to devour
the roaring lion.
So I must be wise
and follow the Shepherd
who slays the beast
and gives me rest.
I need not bleat
but praise the one
who causes the lion
to lie down by the lamb.
I'm only happy when I'm sad, she said.
When people say their glad,
I get mad because,
they used the word glad, she said, we laughed.
The sings she said, I guess,
wouldn't seem important.
If you asked if she knew Shakespeare, she'd say,
when I was born he was already dead.
She liked autobiographies because, she said,
they were books about history,
written by people who were there.
She loved the new testament,
because of what a mess it is, she said,
how great it was that Jesus gave,
gave such a big storytelling gig,
to his four buddies who couldn't write a lick.
That Jesus must have been a piss,
to hang out with, she said.
Important or not,
I didn't want to miss a word,
whatever she said,
I never waited to talk, with her,
I was happy to be,
just listening.
Sitting in an ultra-modern cafe,
sitting among people too cool to be warm.
Sipping on a coffee with a long, fancy name,
thinking about how far I have come
since making coffee over an open fire-
making it like a true desperado.
There is a poster pinned up on the wall.
An image of Black Jesus staring down at me,
making me feel all guilty
for hanging out with all this money;
for hanging out with all this decadence.
Black Jesus staring down at me,
making me feel guilty as can be.
Is this how the madness starts?
I have never been prone to hearing voices in my head,
but I can hear Black Jesus talking to me;
hanging on a poster on the wall.
"Why have you turned your back on me again?"
"Black Jesus, I haven't done such a thing, why I still...."
"Oh please man, don't tell me that I died for your sins,
because my message was lost in translation. I didn't die
for your sins, you all are so pious. I was merely made into a mirror for you to
pick up and see yourself in; to see how many sacrifices
you need to make for this world."
"But, Black Jesus, I am trying so...."
"Stop. You haven't been trying at all son, just faking mere
forgeries to make yourself feel better, is all. I was the beggar that you passed
before coming in here. You turned your back on the beggar, you turned your
back on me."
"You mean....he just wants another fix. If I give him money, he will just buy another hit!"
"Nonsense. I gave you a test, and you completely failed it again. You should have
brought me home, offered me a hot meal and a place to hang my weary head."
"That dude! He might have fleas or worse. He would rob me blind in my sleep. He could be
a crazy and slit my throat from ear to ear!"
"Please kid, don't talk to me about sacrifice. You can't just walk around singing praise,
and thinking, 'Jesus loves me this I know', or 'Jesus died for our sins.' Nah it isn't
easy like that, it isn't easy like that at all. You have to make a sacrifice each and every
single time, no matter how high the cost may be."
Looking into my ten dollar coffee, wondering if someone had spiked it hard.
Spiked it real hard, with some of Uptight-Timothy Leary's magical carpet ride.
Black Jesus looming over me, making me feel all guilty.
Hanging on the wall, Black Jesus looking straight through me.
Soul ties are tight like crazy glue.Who could ever get through?Stuck twisted,and
bonded,can't really hide it.
Soul ties:listening to the continuous lies and the fake alibis underneath that dark
Soul ties are so deep that they cause me to creep.Making me feel so cheap
inside where the Holy Ghost can't abide.Because there is so much sin inside of
me,causing my maker to turn away due to the sin I've created that burdens Him
Soul ties are like cancer that will cause you not to answer the call of the parakleet.
Come and be restored.Take the mindset to be free and walk into God's liberty.
Soul ties can make or breaker you.A soul tie with our maker is burden-lifter and a
yoke breaker;the finisher of all my fights with much delight.I don't have to fight
A soul tie can make or break you .Which one will you choose?Or will you continue
to abuse the soul and unite with savages that cannot make you whole?
Continuing the cycles of twists and turns and down in hell where the(flesh) will
Soul ties:which tie will you take?Jesus is on His way.Get it right today without
delay.Release the sin today so you can be on your way.
Soul ties:which one will you choose?Today,again, I say Jesus is coming any
day.Choose to connect with Jesus.He'll lead the way.
Soul ties: which one will you choose?With Jesus you can't lose.
Soul tie with Him today!
One self
This is the season when the forest has winter coat on
Where does frost smoke come from
Is it our angels morning yawn
Sunlight comes as little fanfares from the cello tones
Large pine trees decorated for Christmas joy
Gusts send thoughts from forest to sea
Everything slides into each other to a beating heart
Here's silence among nature sounds
Christmas is approaching .... once from the purest source
The time Jesus lay in the crib
A-L Andresen :)

It's hard doing something different.
It's difficult staying yourself.
In a world so accustomed to conformity,
It feels nearly impossible to be unique
As the one He created you to be.
How do we find the strength?
How do we find the courage?
How do we find the bravery?
Where do we defeat fear?
Well, He's hanging on The Cross
Giving life to you and me.
Thank You Jesus!
Let us not forget
With Christ,
Nothing is impossible,
For with God,
All things are possible!
Thank You Father!
Thank You!
We give our lives to You!
We are Yours!
Praise You forever
And forevermore!
In Jesus' Name,
We pray,
It's not a lesson to be taught
Or a skill to be acquired
It's the nudge to move forward
Open when the time is right
It's the spirit inside
God leading on the way
On the journey to discover
He is all you need
It's the courage to let go
Say yes instead of no
Reveal what you've been holding back
As Jesus takes the wheel
It's the realization that it doesn't matter
What others think of you
God leads you where you're meant to be
Just allow you to be you
It's the standing up to fear
Proclaiming "fear's not gonna win!"
The battle has been fought too long
Time to let the stalemate end
It's the inspiration you've been holding
For others and for yourself
The light we've been dimming
Rather than shining on His behalf
It's the spontaneity in the decision
To follow His call all the way
Discovering peace in being you
Wide open as the perfect creation you are
The world out there is brutal
But there's a Holy Man holding out His Hand
His bravery now is all we have
But His bravery of love is all we need
May God bless you!
Oh Lord and mighty Savior
I sing in your name praise be
In honor to you King of Israel
who takes away the sins of this world
Star of all stars Bethlehem
shining salvation loves light
purity in the scriptures fulfilled
proclaiming him blessed Holy One
A messenger singing Heavenly
an angel in praise to king of kings
In peace and good deeds God's only son
Blessed born his Immaculate heart
Conceived of the Holy Spirit Lord
Almighty Holiness in your council
one of understanding happy birthday
Our shepherd born salvation leads his flock
Faraway in the distance
three wise kings following sign
A diamond star they followed
light of truth born shone in a manger
As they entered bowing bearing gifts
Gold worshiping the Almighty king
Myrrh most precious bitter herb of the east
Frankincense to perfume our Holy One
The shepherds came as an angel sang out
Heavenly song in gentle melody
singing born today is our savior child
praise eternities revelations tune
O most Gracious Lord Jesus
I bow humble inside meek
happy birthday oh master
our savior Almighty King
The Rose innocent white, soft pink, yellows
colors touch your soul vibrant red to amethyst
enhances beauty yet a thorn awaits to break skin
as life does piercing your heart with a thin pin.
My life has shed drops of blood through each petal
as if in return for the love and beauty you feel
hence pain underneath patiently waits the bloodletting ~
The rose symbolizes love yet vulnerable to hold
for when you open your heart it can be left bleeding
The best of surgeons can not beat your heart
It is the inner faith and God himself whom gives strength
whispers in your ear you shall live you will exist
your life meaningful as the water and sun to the rose
For I am your God your existence is not over yet .
You must Live ~You must Bloom
It all started with three nails on a cross
Written By Dean Masciarelli
March 6, 2010 (9:28am)
It all started with three nails on a cross
And then when Jesus died he went to hell
Where he spent three days and three nights
for one purpose to try to save some souls
And on the third day he rose from the dead
according to the scriptures
And the first ones to bare witness
to his rising were some of
the ladies that were near his tomb
Yet so many people had trouble believing this
And then Jesus appeared to the dejected apostle
and he walked with him by the flowers and shrubs
And as they walked through the garden
Jesus tried to explain to Peter
That the enemy didn't want to let Peter go
But Jesus let Peter know
That he wouldn't give him up
Because he knew Peters heart and that's why he forgave him
So that Peter could share his gospel with those who sit in the darkness
Because he wanted Peter to try to change
the evil thoughts of the natural minds of men
And in the process it literally changed Peters doubts
And all the sorrow that he carried in his heart
And then Jesus vanished as quickly as he appeared
And Peter knew in his heart that he was given a second chance
And it just goes to show all of us that Jesus truly has such a forgiving heart
And that is why he died with three nails on the cross
So that he could forgive us for our sins
If we would just have enough faith to believe in him
For he will never forsake us because that is his promise
I praise You the great Triune God:
the Father, Son and Holy Spirit
who was; who is; and who will be
forever and ever through the ends of the earth
Your heritage is beyond measured time
The earth formless, void with darkness
You moved over the surface of the deep
Larger than time or space
Yet, gentle as a little lamb.
You're the color of sunshine's radiance
of twilights last gleam of reds and gold
of the rainbow arching from horizon to horizon.
I see you in the mighty ocean and the lady bug beetle
I feel your presence as the wind blows softly
Or when the spray of waterfall kisses my face
You walk in the world; the world does not see
You tell mankind how to walk
"He has told you, O mortal, what is good;
And what does the Lord require of you
But to do justice, and to love kindness,
And to walk humbly with your God?"
But, how am I to live?
I praise you Lord Jesus
You came and walked healed taught and loved
You bore the sins of mankind
Your shoulders heavy with the weight of generations
From alpha to omega
You died that I might live forever;
But, how I am to live?
I praise you Holy Spirit
You came down as Jesus the Son ascended
You live within me because I believe
The Lord Jesus Christ is my Savior
Sweet Holy Spirit stay here with me
Empower and enable me to know;
How am I to live?
Open my eyes that I may see
Those hungry -- physically and spiritually help me
Those thirsty -- a simple drink to quench their thirst
Those naked – my closet is full
Those in prison – but, there are so many who are different
Those who are sick –a kind visit touch of hand a smile
May they see glimpses of you in me
I praise you God: the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit
King of king Lord of lords
The Yahweh of history
Ever-present ever-powerful everlasting
I am but a speck in your grandeur;
Yet, you guide me and show me
How I am to live.
Micah 6:8
You find a way out of the grave
You move the stone
You find a way into my heart
You move the stone
You find a way to free the hopeless
And bring the banished home to stay
Yes LORD............
You still move the stone today
More to come.........
protected by a higher power
pupils spread wings,
causing doves to float
above the Holy Ghost
illuminating footsteps in the sands
of whores, heathens, lepers and the downtrodden.
Built a flux capacitor out of mushrooms,
turned the dials, flipped the switches of source-codes,
bending time and space,
to come face-to-face
with Jesus in Nepal.
Yeah, Jesus and I dropped mushrooms.
Picked him up for a ride,
we jumped through the eyes
of the People-In-The-Sky.
Brought Jesus back to the future
in a DeLorean of Divine Spores.
The Anointed One,
the Redeemer,
the Mushroom King of Kings,
was not at all impressed with 2012.
"Good Lord! People created a religion in my name!?
Temples, rituals and books all created in my name!?
What a disaster, this is exactly what I was trying to move away from.
Hey! Those are not my words in that line! I never said such a thing.
How did this happen!?"
"Father, O Father Deer-Hands, why have you forsaken me?
The Golden Calves still dangle from the Vision Tree."
And Jesus spilled forth a sorrowful rain.
Clouds boiled overhead,
thunder crashed like the war-drums of Cain,
lightning arced, evaporating the tears from Jesus' face.
His eyes shone with fury,
an aura of white light illuminated from him,
washing over me in waves of euphoria,
prompting an idea to light-up in my mind --
Jesus could use the mushroom-flux-capacitor
to head further-back into the past,
and add a little twist to the plot.
People shun me as an unbeliever,
as a blasphemer,
as they drink the blood and eat the flesh,
take sips of wine and break the bread.
But I have shed the scales of the living dead,
dropping mushrooms with Jesus.
The physical church of cloned abomination
dashes apart on the unforgiving flesh of plastic and concrete,
of cruise missiles, Gucci, Prada, politics and Polo,
while in the sands, doves and the Holy Ghost
illuminate the footsteps of whores, heathens, lepers,
the downtrodden, vagabonds and inter-galactic travellers.

Shock open up with three road games
The Spokane Shock will open the 2013 season with three straight road games (at Cleveland, Chicago and Iowa). The team will remain in the Midwest during that time to save on travel costs rather than flying back and forth.
The AFL also signed a two-year agreement to have games televised on the CBS Sports Network.
More below.
The Spokane Shock will open the 2013 Arena Football League season with three consecutive road games, beginning with
—The AFL has signed a two-year agreement with the CBS Sports Network after spending the last two seasons on NFL Network. The game of the week will move from Fridays to Saturdays and will air in primetime. The TV schedule will be released later.
CBS Sports Network will televise 19 regular-season games and two playoff games. CBS will air the ArenaBowl XXVI on Saturday, August 17, at 10 a.m. Pacific.
"One of the many noteworthy aspects of this partnership is that we will have an increased ability to showcase our West Coast teams," commissioner Jerry Kurz said. "Closing the season with ArenaBowl XXVI on CBS is something that our millions of fans can look forward to with great anticipation."

Engineered hardwood install...am I just OCD??
Today we had an Armstrong engineered hardwood floor (Valenza Cabreuva, santos mahogany) installed in a 200 sf room and one step. While we're THRILLED with the new floor, the stair nose is very noticeably "off" in color (much browner in tone)and the texture is different from the rest of the floor, to me at least. I questioned the manager of the store we bought the flooring from and he claims that this is normal and the color of the stair nose will darker to match the rest of the flooring in 3 weeks, end of discussion! I suspect they installed a generic santos mahogany stair nose but they won't confirm this.
The difference in color bothers me every time I look at the stair nose. This is our firts experience with new flooring and just wondering if I should pursue this further, and whether the wood will change to match the rest of the floor? There's not a single plank anywhere else that resembles the color of the stair plank...something just doesn't add up! :( Thanks in advance!
Trying to add the link again lol
Here is a link that might be useful: Pic of stair
That would bother me too. Nothing OCD about it! I guess I'd give it the 3 weeks and see but that wouldn't change a texture difference. With my flooring, the instructions said to choose a section of the nosing or threshold board that was closest to the coloring of the floor boards it was going to be placed next to. A good point.
Hold them to fixing it if it doesn't mellow out to your satisfaction. You are not being picky.
I am not a wood floor expert, but I don't see how a brownish piece of wood will change color to look reddish in 3 weeks.
I found the Armstrong catalog. It seems they only offer one color of stair nose. Call Armstrong and ask what they recommend in your situation.
One option is to strip the current nose and stain it to match the rest of the floor.

Thank you all for your input! I called Armstrong and was told this particular flooring has been discontinued and they no longer have any in stock (so why do they still have it in their catalogs?) The Armstrong rep I spoke with could offer no suggestions on a match.
The store manager has reluctantly offered to replace the stair nose with a Brazilian cherry piece but wants to wait the 3 weeks first to see if the color changes to match the rest of the flooring. I'm highly doubtful but I'm willing to wait as long as they do replace it if it still doesn't match.
I hadn't thought of the safety issue Glennsfc, thanks, but we will be putting a runner down and I think that contrast will be adequate.
If that stair nose is Santos Mahogany, then it will darken. I would wait three weeks.
I have the Armstrong Valenza Pangali Ironwood which looks very similar to your Santos Mahogany. It was also discontinued by Armstrong. None of your wood will get any darker in only 3 weeks but in about 6-12 months, the Santos will be much darker and the difference with the stair nose will be even greater. Wait the 3 weeks and get them to replace it.

I was with Brian Williams in New Orleans during Katrina. While he was there, he fasted forty days and forty nights, watched dead victims of GW Bush's inept FEMA float by on a flooded street, he rescued a baby from a rogue crocodile that had been washed up by the flood into the French Quarter, and he did it all while looking into the camera with nary a hair falling out of place. No wonder they suspended him; Brian Williams is just too good for the evening news. Brian Williams / Hillary Clinton 2016!
Again, the quote attributed to Aquinas: "Theology is the queen of the sciences, philosophy her handmaiden."
Actually, you're agreeing with Aquinas, but I think you and I agree with each other.
"is anyone else having that problem, or is it just me?" Apparently, it's you - or your anti-virus program.
"Belief in a supernatural power is a matter of faith," Belief in all things which preceded us and belief in anything which we did not personally witness or test is a matter of faith. Since the exercise of faith is part of much of our belief systems, why is there such disdain for faith in God?
In response to:
"The debate is about which citizens are eligible for govt recognition." If only that were the truth. The real debate is about redefining marriage and redefining the rule of law. When judges in a representative republic are able to make new law without any recourse by the electorate, we are becoming Europe-West, not the U.S.A.
"Citing a supernatural cause for anything is simply a cop out" Actually, positing and accepting the notion of a "Multiverse" (interesting how you capitalized it) rather than accepting that there is a Creator --- that's a real cop out.
"Theology is queen of the sciences, philosophy her handmaiden." - Aquinas I love all the sciences, especially the science of theology. If I lacked any training or understanding in the science of theology, I am convinced that I would find it difficult to properly investigate, hypothesize, and gain understanding of the physical sciences. I regularly see this difficulty manifest in comments and writings from people who have a lacuna in their education related to the science of theology. The existence of the supernatural is undeniable for those with an open mind. The study of the science of theology is the key to having understanding and an open mind.
In response to:
Actually, good liberals used to exist in the 1950s and 1960s. They fought for civil rights, they fought against communism, and they believed in individual freedom. Those good liberals are now Republicans. You're right, if will is not a Republican he is not a good liberal - he is a leftist, a racist, a bigot, and an Obama Democrat.
In response to:
In retrospect (50-year-hindsight is always 20/20), it would have been better if the people in each community or school district had been given the opportunity to vote on whether or not to allow prayer in their local schools, rather than having unelected, unaccountable judges decide it for us. Maybe if we still allowed prayer in school, our children and our society would be more morally centered and less narcissistic. (repeat alert: just want to remove the spam from the top comment spot)
In response to:
The Red part of that map recognizes that Democratic leadership is an unmitigated disaster. The Blue part of that map would probably be receptive if a true leader somehow were to rise from the weeds of the GOP. Until the Blues have a substantial and conservative leader to follow, our country will continue to "sing the blues."

The authentic desire for true greatness belongs to man in so much as it is part of each of us and so should not be censured or decreased under the guise of a misguided humility which could result. Man is made to be great. St Thomas teaches us that man is "Capex Dei" which means "capable of God" and therefore cannot be content with anything that is inferior to God Himself.

VATICAN CITY (Catholic Online) - We are pleased to offer the Congregation for the Clergy's Refective homily from Sunday's Liturgy:
In the homily at the inauguration of his Pontificate, the Holy Father, Pope Benedict XVI, addressed the Church and the entire world, affirming that Christ "takes nothing away, and He gives you everything." He who can affirm, with Peter, the certainty that Christ takes nothing away and gives you everything has received an inestimable treasure, he has found that 'precious pearl' and that 'hidden treasure' that the Lord speaks of in the Gospel.
Daily, we implore the gift of grace, and when it comes, it is always welcomed as being ever new. It is the same gift that moved the first disciples to leave their loved ones and their occupations to follow the Lord. It is the same gift that the Apostles received and, of which, the pages of this Sunday's Gospel narrate.
Certainly, Christ does not take anything away from man but, rather, He gives everything. However, He may deprive him of some of his worldly goods in order to give him the greatest good that is Himself, in Person. In a certain sense He also does not ever deprive man of evil. He who is the only Saviour, does not solve our difficulties by eliminating them or substituting them or artificially removing us from the sorrowful circumstances of our lives.
Certainly, Christ saves man from evil and from death by His Cross. However, He saves us without sparing us that beneficial great 'fatigue' that comes from our liberty, that healthy fatigue which only death can remove.
The heart often seems heavy with this fatigue and it would long to be liberated from it, yet it quickly turns to the object of its desire with the same impatience that animated James and John in today's Gospel, "Grant that in your glory we may sit one at your right and the other at your left."(Mk10:37)
With these words the sons of Zebedee seem to ask the Lord to accede to their 'jump' that automatically places them in the first place and would save them the burden of taking the journey. It is almost as if this journey, with all its unpredictable circumstances, constitutes an objection to the goal and something that the Lord might, after all, save them from.
One might be tempted to share the indignation of the other disciples or to look at James and John with a little pity, if we consider that the request was just a 'youthful impulse' or a remnant of what St Paul calls the "old man" from which they must despoil themselves. In any case, even a hasty glance would clearly show that their ideas do not coincide with the Lord's view.
In fact, the Lord does not reproach them for the request that they expressed but helps them to call it by its real name so that He could direct them upon the only right path to happiness. With extreme delicacy - the delicacy of He who knows and loves every fibre of our being - Christ calls this desire by name and the sons of Zebedee, and the other Apostles, were moved when He said: "whoever wishes to be great among you.." (Mk10:44)
In reality, James and John did not desire "greatness" and had acknowledged that if such greatness was possible for man, it could only be achieved next to that exceptional Person with whom they now shared their lives and their day. If it was possible to be great, it could only be achieved at Christ's side: "Grant that in your glory we may sit one at your right and the other at your left."
The authentic desire for true greatness belongs to man in so much as it is part of each of us and so should not be censured or decreased under the guise of a misguided humility which could result. Man is made to be great. St Thomas teaches us that man is "Capex Dei" which means "capable of God" and therefore cannot be content with anything that is inferior to God Himself.
How can one face such a desire to be great, without hiding or reducing it? Above all else by trusting it to Christ because it is He that had made our hearts in this way. It will be Christ to respond, perhaps unexpectedly, but certainly in a true way helping us to face the circumstances that we would love to escape and which we, consider to be an obstacle in our lives.
In these same concrete circumstances, that Christ did not want to deprive us of, we can enjoy his continuous Presence because He became man in order to face our difficulties for us and with us because: "we have a great high priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus, the Son of God, who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but one who has similarly been tested in every way, yet without sin." (Heb 4:15)
We cannot become "servants" of a moralistic contempt for greatness but only for the love of the One who is truly great, Jesus of Nazareth, Lord and Christ who calls us to share His entire life and Kingdom with Him. Christ has drunk the bitter chalice of the Passion, and so it may also rest on our lips so that we can also take our place alongside Him.
May most Holy Mary, who all generations call Blessed, guide us on the authentic road of greatness. Amen!

Caboodle Ranch is a 30 acre non-profit cat sanctuary in Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida.
The Ranch was unintentionally founded in 2003 when contractor Craig Grant agreed to take care of his son's cat—he later found out she was pregnant with kittens.
Unable to bear giving up the kittens, Craig bought a new parcel of land, and cleared an outdoor space where the cats could roam, away from loose dogs and BB guns.
Craig purchased five more parcels of land, grew the sanctuary, and had 22 cats by Spring 2004.
Craig accepts wounded strays, cats who were formerly cage-bound, and cats that have been "kicked around by heartless people."
In the middle of 100 acres of wildlife, the cats roam free through the nature trails, climb to tree forts, and hide in the underground dens Craig has built.
All the kittehs have been spayed or neutered, all shots are kept up to date and have regular visits to the vet.
Much more info on the story of Caboodle Ranch, photos, videos, planning a visit are here.

Yep, robotics is progressing in leaps and bounds...
Behold the BionicKangaroo
http://www.festo.com/cms/en_co... [festo.com]
Just look at it!
Every year, Festo, the German robotics company, builds an exotic new kind of robot as a demo. Many of their robots have been "soft".
Here's their whole list of experimental projects [festo.com]. They've been doing "soft robots" since 2007. Others were doing "soft robots" before that, but the control usually wasn't that good. Festo builds soft robots with smooth, precise control. Festo's specialty is precise control of pneumatic systems, so they know how to do this.
The reason why Festo's robots are so different from other robots, is because Festo is not a robotics company, but a producer of pneumatic components. Many of their creations are along the lines, if all you got is a hammer, every problem looks like a nail. Many of them are really interesting, because they are so radically different, simply because they approach the problems differently.
