If our leader could be considered a thief, you can only imagine what 

kind of sinners the rest of us are. 

"Frozen" - The prequel

About ten years ago, I found a note while I was cleaning our daughter Elizabeth's bedroom. She had written down a dozen or so of her lifes goals though I can only remember one of them because I thought it was so unrealistic, dreamy and unattainable. She wrote; #8, I want to work on an academy award winning movie. I thought, geeze she's in for a lifetime of supreme disappointment and I figured that four year degree in painting pretty much sealed the deal as a tenured waitress at Denny's. Anyway, she did it, and we're super proud of her. Sometimes God's will is stunning, yet even so, he didn't make the ride any less difficult or painful for her as he pushed her onward.

*The above concept art pictured, was not made by Elizabeth. Our daughter's a lighter , who I like to say, "Makes the Disney magic". She worked on the snow queens ice castle and dealt with refraction issues as she made the ice reflect, sparkle, and shine.

 I hope God remembers I have a list as well, it's super short, only one thing listed, also surprising, but no one can find it because it's written on my heart where only God can see it

Our daughter Elizabeth, should have her little movie finished by November.

Elizabeth worked on the lighting in this commercial for Disney's new movie, "Wreck it Ralph".   I hope to save enough ( and lose enough) to go to the screening with her in Los Angeles in the fall.

Additionally, Elizabeth lives down the street from Forest Lawn cemetery so I can hardly wait for my annual cemetery tour. I also want to tour the cemetery over at Paramount Studios where when you become undesirable they simply toss you over the back studio wall into cemetery on the other side.

My blog administrator/activity director said that my mini van is on it's last leg and we need to upgrade. (Backwards, 12 years.) He called me from the kitchen (Which by the way he's unfamiliar with - it's down the hall to his right.) and he asked me what I thought of this car pictured below. He said,..."It's a great car because it only has 63,000 miles and the guy only wants $1,500 for it. He said that a little old lady drove it (To mass everyday to pray for souls and then to work in a soup kitchen - I'm sure). He asked me, "Do you like it?" I said, "What, did Huggy bear die?! I can't drive a pimp car! It'll looks like Huggy bear bequeathed it to me after some sort of drug deal gone bad. (You don't actually believe he died of an age related illness do you?) I just can't drive a car like that. I know God likes humility and all but please Dear God don't make me drive around looking like a drug trafficker and I know Dear God that you enjoy a good laugh and often at my expense so please don't make me drive a hearse either. Please?.....

Love, Belinda

I was in the check out line of my favorite thrift shop watching a little boy as he pestered his mother into buying him a toy chainsaw. He jumped up and down, with excitement, thrilled that his mother said yes to the toy with endless creative possibilities. As he bounced off the floor and register tables waiting for his mother to pay for their things, he said, " When I get home, I'm going to saw Dad, aunt Keisha, uncle Wayne, my sister, and Sparkles. (His sisters pet)

I was worried that he meant it in a Texas chainsaw kind of way until I considered the possibility that maybe I misunderstood and he meant in a magical "David Copperfield" kind of way. Whew!

So many people to pray for and so little time.

Somebody better call ahead and warn Sparkles.

Elizabeth has applied for a job at one of the  Disney studios and they have  responded favorably to her portfolio. They said that she's one of the finalists

 - but then there are probably a lot of finalists.

We've started a nine day novena on Elizabeth's behalf. Our son  has been participating with us, praying as he's never prayed before. He threw his whole heart into it, praying solemnly, slowly and with as much  devotion and passion as his little heart could muster, unlike his usual method of praying like an auctioneer - late for a pig roast. Joseph believes if his sister is hired, she will then mail him a couple of tickets to Disney World or Disney land so if this prayer is answered God would be in essence killing two birds with one stone.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 Elizabeth was sitting in her office overlooking Paramount studios next door and watching people come and go in their Bentley's, and Mercedes, then as she  turned to gaze at the "Hollywood" sign, she told me she thought to herself, "Is this all there is?" This place is such a joke. How did  it become so iconic. Hollywood has sold us all a bunch of lies.

~~~~~~~~~~~

Here's another movie, Elizabeth has made.

Please consider praying for our daughter. We need people like her in Hollywood.

My son has the analytical brainpower of a rocket scientist - three months
in utero. He told me his life's ambition is to live alone in the forest avoiding people, particularly girls like his sisters - Much like a Sasquatch.

So is it any wonder he said to me, "Mom, I know something that would be really funny, I will lay down on the railroad tracks and I want you take my picture, okay?!"  I said, "Yeah, sure, that would be hilarious," "And  I'll bet social services would  find my top notch parenting skills amusing!"

*Disclaimer- The zoo train had quit running for the day and was parked in the garage but when the conductor was putting it away for the evening, I laughed and said, "It sounds like a lawn mower engine, hahahaha." However my son didn't appreciate the passive aggressive comment about the train lacking speed and power and had he remained on the track at that time, he may have encountered some serious bruising.

Don't you hate it when the beautician gives you a mullet when you SPECIFICALLY said, "For the love of God, please don't give me a femullet!" What's the emoticon for crying?

I'm going to paint my toes and try to calm down. 

So if Christians and non- Christians alike think that the world is going to end, then why is it that  people don't seem to be making any meaningful changes in their lives?

Could it be that the protestant idea of , "God loves me just as I am", is the reason? Or do they reject the notion of God entirely. If many people do think the world is going to end then what do they think will happen to them after that?  Why can't they think this stuff through?

 What happens to a nation of people who've been watching,  listening and worse yet participating in Sodom and for decades now?  Should I  be looking back at Sodom?

*This video is very much like Jennifer Lopez, and  Enrique Iglesias latest music videos but Katie Perry's video is the creepiest music I've ever heard, simply demonic and it has over 52 million views - none of which had  better be from any one of my kids.

A photo of six of my seven daughters.

The missing daughter is in California and needs  prayers for a new job but please dear God,

 - no sponge bob square pants. (And nothing her mom would have to boycott.)

No wound is as direct or as piercing as the words that come from the hearts of any one of my daughters when she's angry.

Dipped in truth, these are crushing blows and I find it difficult to recover.

Ana saved a young mans life who had a seizure in the pool this week. I'm so proud of her. I would've  ignored the  teen who went completely still. I have the idea that if a kid is being good, quiet,
or better yet -still,  then you don't bother them. Thank God  Ana thought otherwise.

Good Job Ana!

Some private citizens  have cooler phones than our very own president.
:(

Does it take a great phone or superior technology to make a great president?

Sunday Night

My boy handed  the thermometer to me and asked  if  he was sick enough to stay home from school tomorrow. His  temperature was 105.3  and I said , "Certainly, you are sick but I'm taking you to the emergency room  tonight." He said, "I put the thermometer in the bath tub but do I still have to go to school tomorrow?" Well, not if you go to the hospital tonight!" 

It's a miracle. The boy healed instantaneously but because he's been playing with the digital thermometer since Friday,  I 'm surprised that it took him so long to figure out that trick. I also wonder how long it will take before he learns that he can get  fake doctors notes off of the Internet.

Since Mike Tyson loves ears, chickens,  pigeons and they seem to have a calming effect on his personality as they bring out his tender- gentler side.

 I'm thinking that maybe we could mail a pair of peaceful doves or love birds to Chris Brown, with that  very same intention.

People like me who are quick to anger might want to consider making some meaningful changes with their tempers because your - "I'm sorrys", only go so far and then your sincere remorse becomes worthless to your fellow man - except unto God.

 ~~~~~~

 We may be too late, but has anyone noticed that Mr.Tyson's pigeons don't any have ears?! 

   And do you think he  understands how many possible contaminants he's exposing himself to by kissing pigeons?

- St.Louis Encephalitis, salmonella, ,candidiaiasis chlamydia psittachi,histoplasmosis, cryptococcosis, bed bugs,chicken mites, yellow meal worms, dental decay, halitosis, E coli  and with one well placed peck he could'a lost an eye!

~~~~~~

My activity director/blog administrator has ordered 24 chicks...... darn!

He must have forgotten about our cats. hehe

Real estate agent or nun... you decide.



I don't know. I guess it all depends on how you view disobedience.

I once knew a man who I fear may have gone to hell when he died.  I watched him speak about himself in glowing terms and he went on and on about his great accomplishments and how wonderful he was and had been throughout his life but as he spoke, a weed began to take root and grow around his feet, then up around his legs and it wove it's self around his mid section and chest while securely entangling him but he didn't  notice because he was still too busy  going on and on about how great he was but by now, the  leaves from the vines - which had grown as large as the mans head, began caressing and patting his back as he continued  talking until finally he was strangled by the invisible entity which had soothed, supported and comforted him. 

Now, I suspect that Satan  mocks him and demands, "Tell us again how very great you are!"
~~~~~
After begging God for forgiveness my next most important prayer is to ask the  the Holy Spirit to help me to not be deceived  because  deception equals certain death.

*If your reading something and it says's "renewal" anywhere within the book - put it down!
"Renewal" is the code word for destruction.

Joseph,............ Mom, what does the word amnesia mean?

Me,..................I'm sorry honey, I forgot.

All my best jokes are wasted on a seven year old.

Our children were prepared for St. Patrick's day and even though your not  able to see their faces, they were excited to be  at the university of Kansas.

The St. Patrick's day parade in Lawrence Kansas - the city of K.U. basketball - the future winners of March madness - 2011 - Obama said so.

The news is reporting that Legionnaires' disease has been found at the Playboy Mansion. I'm thinking that if the L.A county health department looked a little harder, they might be able to find and identify a few more "Speciality" diseases and some of which would curl the hair of a  Legionnaire or at the very least - make him blush, though I seriously doubt that a little disease here or there will stop the  kind of people who frequent the playboy mansion from doing so.

Can you imagine for a moment, if you were a platonic guest and were invited to the mansion, would you actually eat any of the food?! You wouldn't  really know where anyone's hands have been and although my same food theory applies to pretty much every restaurant - everywhere, you can bet no one is having sex on the tables at Wendy's and  I know this because the fry cooks always look cranky and even though he has the appearance of a parolee on furlough, perhaps I've mistaken his  demeanor as dangerous when in actuality it was simply sexual frustration.

And speaking of Charlie Sheen, two months ago I got into a discussion argument with a family member about him.   I would like to say -first off, that  I don't think it's right to delight or take pleasure in another persons sins and even though I've enjoyed the Charlie Sheen jokes as much as everyone else has, I'm over them and  they've become passe' and to be honest I feel bad for having found them funny in the first place.  Especially when I consider that he has spawned  fathered  five beautiful children.

(Please God, bless and protect those kids!)

*****

I went on to argue with my _______  and said that I feel nothing but compassion and sadness for Charlie and his  family, especially since Charlie doesn't, "Get it."  I don't think I'm any better than Mr.Sheen  as I've  not been able to conquer some of my sins either and though I'm not at the stage of embracing them anymore, I have been working on the same ones and  some of them for decades. When it might seem as though I've beaten one back then another sin steps up to take it's place within me. The thing that I understand which  Charlie and so many other addicted people don't,  is that it's through Christ alone, by his  grace - which  strengthens us to overcome our sins and to heal. Christ can't heal what we refuse to recognize and without Christ, these situations are hopeless and will remain so - without exception. If we don't try to overcome our sins and accept Christs grace and mercy, then these same sins will greet us in hell, where our bondage to them will become eternal.

Sadly, my relative felt little compassion or sorrow for Mr.Sheen and he shook his head while scoffing at me because he simply couldn't understand why I would pity such a rich man.

*****

 Charlie,.... your face is  gaunt and  you have that -"death's a knocking" kind of look. We know in reality you have a meth mouth and I'm really scared for you. Can you say, "Michael Jackson?"

I will offer up my next migraine and some prayers for you- it's all I've got.

*The above photo is of the playboy mansion - I'll bet there's an exxxact replica somewhere in hell, only you know who gets to sit on the throne and you know who else will be getting screwed.

This is a sample of one of Elizabeth's earlier practice projects from 3 years ago.
 She said these clips are time consuming and not easy to produce.
