Jedi Force, it's like God?

 Is the jedi force anything similar to God? Personal opinion? Nope. It's nothing alike. Perhaps only in that anyone could access it if they do enough soul-searching. But God is much more than what we see in Star Wars, for a few key reasons.

1) We were created in his likeness (Genesis 1:26-28)
2) There's only one mediator between God and man, that is Jesus Christ (1st Timothy 2:5)
3) When Paul is giving charges to Timothy in 2nd Timothy 3:10-17, he says we have scripture because it's from God. Therefore, God is an immortal being. Something that actually exists. The jedi force is "everything"? That seems like a very naturalistic.
4) What happens when I die? You dissolve into the force, and become a small part of everything. Until you come back to guide your apprentice. Uhuh. *gazes skeptically.*

Now, I'm a Star Wars fan! I enjoy it. It makes me grit my teeth when people compare it to God though.

Another cool starwars fact: Yoda's sentence structure is Latin. What I've learned in CC the past year is this:

If you said in Latin "I'm in love with the girl and I enjoy spending time with her"
You'd word it this way: "With the girl I am in love, and with the girl I spend time and enjoy."

Went to a petting zoo..

We went to this petting zoo up by some buffalo farms. This little pony bit me and left a huge welt on my arm, Dad says "Look how cute! I think he's harmless! :D" He made funny faces at the mini pony long enough that it decided to make them right back. I was trying to capture it, but this picture hardly does it justice. Lol, what an amazing time spent with family <3

Played Scrabble

We played this game in youth group, that I really hope we play again this year. It's like scrabble, only you have to run around. It was pretty awesome. My team was composed of: J-rod, K-sey, Dee, Jayke and myself. It was really challenging, it stretched our vocabulary to the limits. We ended up with words like "iditorad" and "fun" all on the same board.

Heard a joke

Are you depressed? This gravity is really pulling me down ;D

Going to this show...

I am SO excited! There's a show on the 13th.... wish me luck :D I'll post pictures later.

Also, I left my camera at the barn :( hence the lack of recent pictures. I was supposed to go tonight, and was planning on taking it home. But I have a really bad cough that's quite painful. So I'll not get it untill the morning of the show. I'll post pictures then :D

Got a Barrett/Saw a Movie



 Lucy and I went to see the Puss in Boots movie with Raymond. When we came out of the movie, the sun was setting. :) Lovely sister picture time! :D

and I got a purple barrett. :)

Wrote an Article


 Heh, wrote this thing for school & thought it was worth sharing. The assignment was to write an essay to convince congress on the topic of helping out the persecuted churches. I have to say, writing like this to congress was nothing less than interesting. I'd definitely have a hard time reading this out loud in front of congress. It's pretty... uh... cold hearted and harsh. That is all :P 

Abstaining From Excess Spending
By Kayla Hunt

 You say separation of church and state. You obviously don't realize the full impact of it. Now, the gravity of this situation of the persecuted churches isn't felt nearly as hard in America as it is in places like Kazakhstan. My point, is that the persecutors in America are bound within the laws, and can only persecute as far as what is legal. They simply cannot drag a Christian out into the streets and beat them. Fortunately, the American dream of equality and integration makes this illegal, no matter what religion they are. 
 This is because of America’s foundational laws, not because they are sending cash to the churches. I do not believe it is the government’s place to send tax dollars overseas to the persecuted churches. If they decide to do that, the only funding these churches will receive will be financial. This won’t change their government’s protection! Why would we send it? Need I remind you we’re already 14 trillion dollars in debt? By sending this money (that was hard earned by our taxpayers) out to fix a foreign country’s problems, it could cause several immediate issues, as soon as the bill is passed. 
The first would be rebellion. Imagine being that hard working taxpayer, who may not believe in a god. Much less personally support the churches in foreign countries built to such a god. So now the money you earned from the job that you had to work to obtain, is being sent to a cause you don’t agree with. This, from the millions of people with the same cause combined would defiantly ignite a rebellious fire. There is already a great deal of distaste in the mouths of taxpayers towards the U.S. government, why make it worse? 
The second immediate issue, would be that America craves equality. Much like two small children in the toy aisle, the mother buys one a new toy, and the second begins the persistent begging. If we aid Churches of God, the Muslims, atheists, and humanists will surely tag this one not fair. So do we now provide financial aid to the persecuted Muslims? The persecuted Buddhists? And what’s to stop it at religion? Honestly, if we’re going to help the persecuted churches, we may as well help fund their goals & objectives. Such as the belief that women should have the right to avoid their abusive husband, hey, since we’re already funding the churches, lets send some cash to that ministry too. The spending would never end! Like I said, we’re already 14 trillion dollars in debt. We simply cannot afford to fund trivial things like this. 
Third, is the importance you put on separation of church and state, even within our country. 
If all separation of church & state is important,
And we are thinking about merging the boundaries,
Then there’s reason to say this is contradictory to your own beliefs, therefore a foolish endeavor we should abstain from spending excess tax dollars on.

 OH MAN.
I rode Taxi today, and had the most bodacious ride ever! I was so proud of her by the end of it.
But we had a bad start. She got spooked the moment I lited on her back, and threw a huge bucking fit. I was grabbing handfuls of black mane to keep myself from falling off. Fail, it just pulled out a load of hair, making me feel horrible/guilty. But that was the worst. After that, she jumped and hopped a little going into a trot, but she caught her stride and I remembered how well singing to Jewels worked, so I tried singing a few of the many songs I know from memory to her. She likes Keith Urban :)
So her canter was a rocking dream, and I think I was the happiest person in the world for those few minutes.

<3 Taxi <3

Played with a picture

Pretty self-explanatory. No need for a giant text block.
(for the record, that IS me on Taxi)

Read God's Book

 This morning, I began a personal study on the book of Amos. It's more jam-packed with adventure than I ever thought possible. 
In essence: God isn't pleased with these guys. The sins in the first few chapters range from adultery to drinking forbidden wine inside God's temple. Pretty extreme stuff right there, huh?
Well I got to thinking. "These nations had it so wrong! I'm so glad I'm not that far off God's path for me." 
Well then I dug deeper. God doesn't determine (or tell us to determine) a better/worse sin schematic. The sins I've committed are still really horrid. Lusting after something? Yeah, that might seem like only a crush at the time. But it's more than that. It's right up there with sexual impurity. Reading through Amos really made me flinch, when I realize one of the reasons God gave us this book. 

:'( that's me. It's hard to imagine God destroying Littlestown just because there's not a single faithful person in it.   But then, I'm pretty sure to the people of that time, it was hard for them to imagine God destroying 

  • Gaza
  • Tyre
  • Edom
  • Ammon
  • Moab
  • Judah
  • But the worst is Israel
 Amos wrote three chapters about Israel, full of God's condemnation.

The only hope I can derive from this, is that God always saves a remnant of his people, when there's a remnant to be saved. He did in fact curse the cities of Sodom & Gomorrah (to refresh your memory, they were brutally abolished by God, because of their sinful ways, and refusal to get a clue and follow God), but his remnant was Lot & his family. Except for his wife... y'know... the whole pillar of salt thing. But again, she wasn't totally obedient.

Whoa, so that text block was longer than I planned. :) Just something to ponder.
