The drive in was very strange, the fog was thicker than I have ever seen it, I fully expected the Wolfman to jump out at every stop. The Lon Chaney Wolfman, not the Seth Green Oz version. Disconcerting at best, flat out scary at worst, however I made it safe and sound. Nothing jumped out and went bump in the darkness, on the one hand disappointing, the other hand, yay me.
So I read today in the news that Russia has their very own version of the Loch Ness monster, I wonder now if tourists will flock to that country to simply catch a glimpse of the beast. Why now is the question, if, as they claim, this beast has been sighted throughout the years for over 100 years. Why now to come out with the information? It is not exactly the tourist capitol of the world, when I hear Russia, I know I don’t want to jump up and make travel plans. It’s too cold for even me, and the people do not have a reputation for being friendly. I will stick with Scotland for my water monster tour.
My birthday is Sunday and there is not a hint of snow in the future, I have to ponder the question, is God unhappy with me? Why is He keeping the snow from me? I know He knows it comforts me; it reminds me there is great beauty in the world, when everything is going wrong, snow is the one thing that is right in my world. I will figure it out; I will cut out whatever is making Him angry with me. Last year I gladly gave up snow so Chewie could have it in heaven, now it is time for him to send some back to me.
I have my coffee perhaps that should be enough to tell me of God’s love for me, I’ll take it. In case you missed the show Saturday evening, it is now up on the website, http://www.convosate.com, it really is a great show. It is about forgiveness, us forgiving others as God forgives us. I am in awe of the talent that surrounds me. Shanon J is nothing short of amazing, we record and she edits the shows as well as being on air talent. She makes me sound good! Check us out; I am positive you will not be disappointed.
Former Lives
I was in Target yesterday, browsing their book selections, and noticed the book Cleopatra’s Daughter, which I have read. I started to think about past lives and how everyone thinks that they were Cleopatra in a former life. I do not believe I was Cleopatra in a former life, number one, she wasn’t Egyptian, she was Greek, if you look at the coins that show what she actually looked like, she was not attractive. By historical accounts she exuded confidence and that made her attractive. She married her brother, she then became a consort to Julius Caesar, and then murders her brother, and then when Caesar dies, she takes up with Marc Antony, a married man. Then commits suicide leaving her children to face their own fate, alone; no, I do not believe I was Cleopatra in a former life.
Of course that started my thinking process on other women in power, Marie Antoinette came to mind. I do not believe I was her either; she was married at 14 to the prince of France who could not consummate the marriage. For many years, until he finally had a surgery that corrected a deformity, then she was woefully out of touch with her subjects. This was her fault, she was a petulant teenager who thought of nothing but shopping. Today, not an issue, when you are a monarchy with starving peasants, huge problem; she had the opportunity to send her children to safety, she declined. They all died, no, I was not her in a former life.
Then Catherine the Great came to mind, now, this was a woman I could have been, the most powerful Czarina in all of Russia, of all time. She ruled with flare, and iron fist, she revitalized Russia, made it a great power in Europe. Her reign is considered the golden age of Russia; this is a woman I could have been in a former life. She rocked.
I don’t know if I believe in former lives, I like to think when I am done on this earth, I am done, I will get to go home and God will say job well done good and faithful servant.
