Concerning Viruses
(Cold or Flu Virus)
You’re walking along in Walmart one day, and the shopper in front of you sneezes. You walk by them, not thinking twice about it.
Well, that shopper happened to have the cold. When you walked by them, you inhaled a virus or two. The virus that you inhaled doesn’t think twice about it. It simply goes and attaches itself to the cell lining in you’re nose and sinuses. It goes up to a weak cell and knocks on the door. When that cell lets the Virus in, then the virus sheds its coat and asks the cell “Can you read me” The cell answers “Yes, I can read you.” Then the virus commands the cell “Reproduce me!” A virus can’t reproduce itself, you see. So, the virus is reproduced very quickly. It attacks other cells. The cell that took in the virus, breaks and the virus spreads into the bloodstream and into the lungs.
The lack of cells lining the sinuses, allows fluid into the nasal passage. Sniff, Sniffle, Sniff.
The virus in the nasal passage fluid, attacks the throat lining and causes a sore throat.
Another virus, in the bloodstream, attacks muscle cells and causes achy muscles. Ow, Ow, Ow!
Then, the White Blood cells come to the rescue and hopefully save the day! You then decide that you don’t like Walmart as much as you once had. However, you go back anyway, and we do it all over again!
By the way, it takes several days for all of this to happen.

Concerning Goats
Concerning Goats
Goats are interesting creatures. They are leaders and defenders. They have a good sense of smell (that’s how they always find the feed bucket)and keen hearing; they have good eyes and are very intelligent (sometimes to intelligent).
Goats horns are sharp at the tips and grow backward above the neck and are good weapons of defense, so wolves and cougars leave the goat alone (other dogs and goats also leave the horned ones alone, and for good reason).
The horns also are a good way to lead a stubborn goat. They are strong, sturdy, and surefooted.
Goats make affectionate pets when they are treated with kindness. They show far more affection for their owners than sheep do.
The Alpine goat gives fine flavored milk. The Nubian and Lamancha goats give the most milk, about six quarts a day or more, ordinary goats give two quarts a day. (Lamancha goats have a nicer personality than the Nubian.) When given the right kind of food and treatment, the milk of any goat will be plentiful and delicious.
The Mohair, Cashmere, and Angora goats give the most fleece. Boer goats are mostly meat goats (and are not intelligent).
Goats can give birth to four or five kids at one time, but the most usual number is one to two or two to three.
It is said that goats will eat most anything. Not quite so. They can be very picky eaters. They will never eat the same leaf twice, unless they have to. And if it’s not the sweet feed that they had in mind, they won’t touch it. A goat can eat (what would be poisonous to other animals) pine needles and Johnson grass. They seam to love pine needles.
Goats seem to have an opinion about everything. Sometimes they won’t voice their opinion, but when they do they make sure everyone hears about it (sometimes for days).
All in all, goats are really cool little animals and make great pets, and they keep you on you’re toes!

Amy Carmichael
Book summary by Sweetpea, on
A Chance to Die
The life and legacy of Amy Carmichael
Written by Elisabeth Elliot
A Chance to Die was written by Elisabeth Elliot, who visited the Dohnavur compound in India, where she had access to Amy Carmichael’s correspondence and photograph’s. She spent much time researching and interviewing, and she spent forty years, reading Amy’s books and as a result, has written a reverent biography, which has the entire life of Amy Carmichael, Amma, Irish missionary to India.
Amy Carmichael was born December 16, 1867 to David and Catherine Jane Filson Carmichael, in the village of Millisle on the North coast of Ireland. They lived in a grey stone house, one of the three larger houses in the village. The house was surrounded by a garden and a high wall with a large gate opening.
In the garden there were roses, ivy, apple trees, yellow whins, and heartsease.
Amy had six younger siblings: (Amy), Norman, Ernest, Eva, Ethel, Walter, and Alfred.
At the Carmichael house there were always pets and books and toys.
The children were not schooled in younger years, but by a succession of governesses.
When Amy was twelve years old, she went to boarding school.
When Amy was nearly eighteen, her father died of double pneumonia on April 12, 1885, at the age of fifty four.
At age twenty four Amy heard the calling of God to become a missionary.
Finally, on March 3, 1893 Amy sailed for Japan. On April 14, Amy arrived safely at Shanghai. Amy worked at Japan for a while then caught “Japanese Head” and was forced to go on a long rest. While she was on her “long rest”, she heard the calling to go to Ceylon. She went on July 28, 1894. A year later on October 11, 1895, she went to India.
She worked in India for the rest of her life. She did many things there. The main thing that she did there was saving and taking care of the Children of India and teaching them of God’s love. She loved all of the children very much.
January 18, 1951 Amy Carmichael, “Amma”, died. She was buried in a garden, and her grave is the only one that has a head stone, a bird bath, with “Ammai” written on it.
Amy lived a long well used life for God and whatever she did, she asked God first, did it for Him, and for her children.
This is a very good book. It has some really good pictures in it. I really enjoyed it and I really recommend it for reading.

The Proud King
The proud king Nebuchadnezzar strutted about his palace. The pompous king was admiring all the things he had accomplished. Only twelve months before, the vain king had been warned by God that his kingdom would be taken away from him if he didn’t stop being so haughty and arrogant. Anybody who passed by the king could tell, by his smug expression of pride, that he hadn’t changed much at all. In fact, the egotistical king seemed to think he was very self-sufficient. The boastful king then said these conceited words:
“Is not this great Babylon, which I have built for the house of the kingdom by the might of my power, and for the honor of my majesty?”
While the words were still in the king’s mouth, a voice from heaven said:
“O king Nebuchadnezzar to thee it is spoken; the kingdom is departed from thee.”
That same hour the king was driven from men, out into the fields and he ate grass as the ox and was wet with the dew of heaven. His hair was grown like eagles feathers and his nails like birds claws…in other words he went insane.
Even though Nebuchadnezzar’s mind had lost it, his poor, abject soul knew that he was spiritually destitute, and that he had been living a sinful life and his wretched self was unworthy of God’s mercy. His life was desolate and devoid, impoverished and base. He knew he definitely was inadequate for God’s divine grace. In humble submission Nebuchadnezzar looked up to Heaven, as he later wrote:
“And at the end of the days (7 years) I, Nebuchadnezzar lifted up mine eyes unto Heaven, and mine understanding (sanity) returned unto me, and I blessed the most High, and I praised and honored Him that liveth for ever, whose dominion is an everlasting dominion, and His kingdom is from generation to generation…” Big attitude change, huh?

Good Wishes
Fair Wishes
The road goes ever on and on,
But, may it rise to meet you.
The wind blows ever on and on,
But may it always blow behind you.
May the sun always light you’re path,
May you never meet Gods wrath.
And if our paths cross not (again) on earth,
Then may they cross in heaven with great mirth.
The road goes ever on and on,
But, may it rise to meet you.
The wind blows ever on and on,
But may it always blow behind you.
May the sun always light you’re path,
May you never meet Gods wrath.
And if our paths cross not (again) on earth,
Then may they cross in heaven with great mirth.
