Do you ever think?

Do you ever wonder...

... what people with the last name "Samsonite" put on their luggage?

... what it is about people that makes them skip the first few slices of bread while moving to the coveted middle section - leaving the heel and less-desirable slices for their family and loved ones?

... why they call Doritos "nacho cheese" flavor? I know of NO nachos that taste that way...

... about light? You can't actually see light, only it's source and the reflection/refraction of it as it bounces off surfaces...

... and speaking of light, if you could go faster than the speed of light and had a really powerful telescope would you see everything going backwards? Or would you see anything at all? Does light follow a Doppler-effect? Is there a sonic boom for light?

... when I get to make my own worlds, I totally am going to make one with dinosaurs - just to watch them fight. Also, I think that it will really mess with people's heads when they try to figure out where they came from and why they're here...

... some one's going to have to explain to me why mosquitoes were in the plan. Why do we need them anyway? I mean, I don't like spiders or maggots, but I can at least logically understand their purpose. Mosquitoes? No.

... why our fingers are fairly proportional in size, with the thumb shorter, while toes are all small with one exception? I'm just saying...

... if two wrongs don't make a right, do three rights equal a left?

... why do people get paid so much to sell common sense? Wait, never mind...

... where in the world IS Carmen San Diego?

... are we there yet? Have the wheels stopped and every one's getting out? No? Well, then...

You just blew away all my hopes that idiocy is not genetic.

You sound way too much like me

Mosquitoes spread disease. The end.

Did you copy this one too?

As for the world's thing..I've already decided on what I'm going to do with that.
Mermaid world!!!

My friend Daisy sitting next to me says she would have her own dance club world.

Forrest, of course would like a gun world, with varying types and magnitudes of artillery. [I think James Morton would like this as well].....

Maybe a chocolate world.

But thinking about it, Heavenly Father has pretty much got it down pat, I really wouldn't want a world without trials, no matter how hard...perfection [although I know my mindset will change after I die...], perfection is borrring!

Anisha - I only put MY stuff on my blog... Everything you get is all me, all the time.

And boring is right. Perfection? Who needs it?!? I'm having more fun being not perfect and trying to get there...
BTW, regarding your question about faster than light trave, one of my favorite poems is:

There was a young woman named Bright,
who traveled much faster than light
she set off one day
and in a relative way
returned on the preceeding night.

Apparently there are lots of smart people with WAY too much time on their hands

Baptism

Yesterday Ellie was baptized. She turned eight on January 27, 2020, and she made the decision to be baptized. I want to tell you a little bit about Ellie. I have never met a child that is quite like Ellie. She is full of life and fire and joy and light. She knows no fear and is infectious in her passion for life and for goodness and for FUN!!! Above all things, she seeks the joy and fun in life. She is also wickedly clever and funny, she’s a delight to be around and makes everyone feel so good. Because she is happy, she wants everyone else to be happy. I first met sweet Elizabeth in 2018, and on the day I met her she was not feeling well. We decided that a movie would be a fun thing for a sick little girl, so I brought one of my favorites to share with her - The Neverending Story. When I got to the house, I picked her right up. It had been a very long time since I was able to pick up a girl, and she snuggled right into my arms. Her poor sick body was warm, but I was more impressed ...

Excommunication

My heart is heavy this morning. I read that Kate Kelly and others are being brought up on Church disciplinary action. For those who are unfamiliar with the process/proceedings of LDS Church discipline, it can be a bit mystifying. There are several levels of censure that the Church may impose. These range from a simple removal of some privileges for a short period of time to the most severe action - excommunication. When one is excommunicated, the person's membership in the Church is terminated. It is a very extreme measure, and for the faithful it can be a very difficult thing to consider. What people don't understand - what is nearly impossible for someone outside the proceedings to understand - is the amount of love felt. It's discipline. It's intended to be harsh (at times). And it's intended to be unpleasant. But it is done with love and care for the person. Since excommunication is such an extreme measure, it is really only very rarely applied. There are ...

Ephesus

Paul got around. Ephesus is right on the Aegean Sea, on the coast of present-day Turkey. Yesterday he was in Galatia, which was much more towards the middle of Turkey. And when he actually wrote these letters, he was in Rome... So the man could travel. He probably walked. Today's item of interest comes from chapter one in Ephesians. Verses 18 and 19 are particularly interesting: 18 The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of his calling and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints, 19 And what is the exceeding greatness of his power to us-ward who believe, according to the working of his mighty power This is not the first time Paul talks about an inheritance. In Galatians he talks about the inheritance that comes of being part of the Abrahamic Covenant. He notes that we are joint-heirs through and with Christ. In Ephesians, he uses the word "adoption" - that we are adopted as the Children of Jesus Chris...
