friday funnies

(i had to add this one i heard on whose line is it anyways) things you don't want to hear while finishing dinner: "mr. lecter would like to know if you enjoyed your dinner"

"REAL" is a hand you hold for 57 years

the other day i went to target to get a few things. while i was walking in, there was an older couple walking in a little ways ahead of me. they looked to be about in their 70's. they just happened to catch my eye, and the thing that really stood out to me was that they were holding hands. it was very cute, and it made me think of a song (yes, a country song, what else?). the song is called "real" by james wesley. this is another one of those songs where after you hear it, you say "now THAT is country music". there are several lines in the song that really relate to real life. the song is mainly about how reality shows really aren't REAL life, and he quotes a bunch of things that really are real. the couple made me think of the line in the song "real is a hand you hold for 57 years". and that is real, it's not like some bachelor or bachelorette show where you get together than break up a month or two later. "real" is falling in love with somebody after dating him/her, and ONLY him/her, for a while, than marrying that person and staying with that person for the rest of your life. as i listen to this song for the first time, i thought that's what i want. i don't want to fake my life for any reason, i want to look back on my life and say that my life was real. goodbye for now, this is chezzy louise.

pro-life or pro-choice, what's the difference?

     Abortion, one of the biggest issues in our country right now. You always hear the question "pro-life or pro-choice?" I am pro-life, but when you really think of it, is there a difference?  When people have their babies, they are CHOOSING to have them. But when they have an abortion, they are also CHOOSING.  There's only one thing wrong with this, what about the baby, does he/she get to choose anything?  So, if you say you are pro-choice, than the baby should get the choice, not you.  Now I know that some people say that the baby isn't really alive in there, and I'm not too smart when it comes to all of this stuff, but if he/she is not alive, than "why is he/she moving?" i learned from my biology class what separates living organisms from non-living matter, there were four things: 1. metabolism (chem. reactions) 2. sense and respond to environment 3. reproduce and evolve, and #4. MOVEMENT  just a simple point to say that the baby is living in there if it is moving.  also, if you can detect a heartbeat, how is the baby NOT alive? if the baby (or fetus) is moving and has a heartbeat, than it is obviously alive, and abortion is wrong. If the baby is not wanted, try the other "a" word "adoption".  Another family will be made a lot happier, and the baby will be kept alive.  I believe that if the mother is put in danger from the baby, and abortion is the only option, than it is okay. But other than that, abortion is never going to solve your problems. So if you are pro-life, than you want the baby to live, if you are pro-choice, than the baby gets to choose, either way, the baby will live and they should be the same thing. Everybody has a right to life. "A person's a person, no matter how small" (Horton Hears a Who) Signing off, this is the wifferwoo 

the most wonderful time of the year!

     it's that time of year again! the time of the year that i enjoy the most. not to say that the rest of the year i don't enjoy. but i absolutely love the christmas season. i love the decorations, lights, trees, food, music, snow, celebrating Jesus' birth, getting together with family, presents, and anything else i may have forgotten. i'm not the type of person who gets stressed over this type of stuff, trying to quick buy that last gift or two last minute. i just go with the flow, and if i happen to have the time and money, i will go out shopping for the presents i need to get. i might get a little flustered trying to figure out what to get, but nothing that gets me up in a tizzy.

     for me, christmas is a joyful time, and it should be for everyone else too, even if you have to be wth some people that may annoy you, your mother-in-law, that crazy uncle, that annoying cousin or two, a cranky aunt. when you are forced to have to see them on christmas, don't let it get to you, enjoy the fact that you have a family to spend it with, i'm sure there are other people in the family who you really get along with. christmas is meant to be a day of joy, love, and laughter, even if it's spent with somebody who doesn't know the meaning of any or just one of those words. God gave us his son, and we are celebrating that, why should we be so unhappy and stressed about that.

throughout the christmas season, if you find yourself really stressed, just sit down and relax for a bit. pray, read a Bible verse, think of something that you are looking forward too, and remember that God is right there with you. those last few sentences could go with anytime of the year, but with it being the christmas season, a lot of people are usually more stressed during this season than they are the rest of the year. but whenever you feel stressed, just relax, God will get you through it. and with that, the wifferwoo is signing off, have a blessed christmas season.   

happy thanksgiving!!

happy thanksgiving everybody! i want to give a special happy thanksgiving to two indians (i thought it was fitting). okay so they aren't really indians, but a special one to katelyn and kath, i hope you enjoy it even without your family there, we are always thinking of you over here. in church this morning, there was a kid's message about the very first thanksgiving, and how the pilgrims were so thankful even after 90 Indians showed up at their feast, when they were only expecting a few. the next thanksgiving, they only had 5 kernels of corn on each plate, so each pilgrim stood up and listed five things they were thankful for.  so i'm going to give you five things i'm thankful for.

1. freedom: to live in a country where we have so much of it

2. God: to live in a place where i can hear about God everyday

3. family and friends: people that have stuck by me my entire life

4. music: listening to it in church this morning, it was absolutely

amazing (especially country and christmas music)

5. beauty in the world: all of these wonders that God has made, it's

so amazing to see it everyday. even if you don't live by mountains

or by an ocean, you can still see his majesty from the tiniest snowflake

or raindrop, to the biggest tree in the sky. it is all equally beautiful
