A Story Of The Ages

My Cousin recently told me something that will never depart from my spirit.. As we sat down by the river during the conclusion of the annual Manitoba Parkinson Walk, he began to speak to me about something that had happened.. At first I was quite tentative to what he was about to share with me, as I am when most people tell me that they have a good story. But once the story began I was hooked on to his every word.. So I thought I would share with the few faithful followers I still have to Pigeonspoo.. Enjoy

This cousin has a friend who lives up in a smaller community in Northern Manitoba called 'The Pas'. This friend of my cousin is in his mid-life, living with his 17 year old son. Now the son, who is a rather large kid for only 17, has a fairly common condition which effects many people throughout the world. That condition is Autism.. As we all know Autism can be a confusing disease.. And produces some 'side effects' that just seem... well.. bizarre.. Anyways this young man had one of these weird 'side effects' which caused him to have a raging fetish for all things small.. Ever since he was a child he collected every kind of Troll, Gnome, Leprechaun, Dwarf, etc.. needless to say, he LOVES them... the father was well aware of this obsession and was not surprised when while sitting at his desk one day at work, he received a phone call from his home number. The ecstatic voice on the other line was on the verge of screaming "DAD, DAD I CAUGHT A REAL LIVE TROLL!''.... Obviously having heard things similar to this before the dad quickly ended the conversation with a 'that’s great son, I will see it after work' and hung up. After 2 or 3 more calls of sheer excitement the father became a bit more concerning and decided that he should take a quick break to run home and make sure everything was alright..

Upon arriving at the house, the son was already waiting in the hallway with a bodacious smile that resembled one of a child who had just seen it’s first real life elephant, or a grown man who had originally invested in Facebook at $1/share... "DAD, DAD QUICK COME SEE!!!' the boy screamed as his dad removed his boots.. 'All right son, where is it' he replied. He then followed his son into the son’s room only to see all the furniture from the entire room pushed against the closet door.. The father, obviously shocked, asked the son what he had been doing!! The son replied 'I HAVE IT! IT'S LOCKED IN THE CLOSET!'. So they removed the layers of bed, dresser, nightstands, various gnome statues, etc until the Closet was now free. They opened the door, slowly and with some anticipation on the fathers end of what he was going to find.. The door opened just enough to allow for the light of the room to pierce the darkness, slowly revealing the shape of something huddled on the floor... to the fathers extreme surprise, there sat with tears forming at the brink of his eyes a 3 foot nothing midget!!! The small fellow was a Jehovah’s Witness and had been going door to door in the neighborhood discussing his faith in an attempt to convert new believers~

Unfortunately, when he reached this house, he was completely unprepared for a possibility that someone may just have an autistic son with a fetish for tiny persons!! The son had quickly pounced him and barricaded him in his closet for close to 4 hours! Later, after threats of legal action, a quick sit down meeting to explain the Childs autism quickly folded any chance of a charge..

As a disclaimer

I felt off color sharing this via internet.. but it is a great story.. and ‘Jesus loves the little children, all the children of the world. red, and yellow, autistic, or with no height. They are precious in his sight~! ‘

don’t hate or discriminate people! haha just enjoy the story and go hug a small person... but dont lock them in your closet..

its not nice... ;)

WOW i never Post on this thing anymore...

but i promise i will begin again... i cant let all these beautiful thoughts that flow through this mind not go unwritten for the entire internet to see!!!

im off to mexico for a couple weeks so apon my return i will begin to yet again blog like no one is listening.. or reading.. or whatever..

Peace and Love

Godspeed!

The Opposite of Courage is not Cowardice, but Conformity.

I came across some interesting and important information today during our weekly bible study,

thoughts about courage and how it tests our persons

Courage often gets misunderstood as the ability that only is exerted at a time when there is a great tragedy or extreme danger.. when in reality courage is much more close to us on a day to day basis..

Winston Churchill said 'courage is the virtue of being able to stand up and speak, as well as the ability to sit down and listen'. it can take just as brave a person to sit down and listen to unwanted truths as it takes to stand up and speak out against something they don't believe in. you can do nothing worthwhile without courage.. and only a person with courage can live life without regrets..

Courage means taking an initiative to make a change when inactivity is the easier answer.. in order to grow as individuals we must have to courage to face truths about ourselves and have the initiative to change problems or expand strengths.. 'Greatness' in analysis- is largely due to bravery and courage.'

The opposite of courage isn't cowardice, its conformity.. its not enough to believe in something, you must live for it. its not worth living unless you have something to die for..

important points about building up courage that stood out to me,

-convictions are stronger then fear- ('believe is something you will argue about- convictions are something you will die for'. having convictions for your beliefs will drive courage into your actions for them. )

-Vision is clearer then my doubts

-Spiritual sensitivity is louder then popular opinion

-right actions are more robust then rationalization

-self-esteem greater then self-protection- (belief in ones self is of more value then always trying to protect oneself from peoples opinions and social tendencies to insult and look down on and from straying out of conformity.)

orison swett marden stated "live up to your resolve, work at what the creator meant for you to work for in the perfecting of his plan, and you will be invincible. no power on Earth can hold you back from success"

which is a wonderful quote completely backed up by what is stated in the bible,

David also said to Solomon his son, "Be strong and courageous, and do the work. Do not be afraid or discouraged, for the LORD God, my God, is with you. He will not fail you or forsake you until all the work for the service of the temple of the LORD is finished 1 Chronicles 28:20

in closing i discovered that in order to succeed in life you must have courage, without courage there is no other way for you to reach your potential.*

interesting story....

i told ya muslims are crazy!!! this is a rather interesting tidbit.... quite the wierd story

DENVER - A Colorado woman has been detained in Ireland in connection with an alleged plot to assassinate a Swedish cartoonist whose sketch offended many Muslims, a U.S. official said Saturday.

Jamie Paulin-Ramirez, 31, was among seven people arrested in Ireland this week as authorities investigate an alleged plot to kill cartoonist Lars Vilks over a 2007 sketch depicting the head of the Prophet Muhammad on a dog's body. The drawing provoked terror front Al-Qaida in Iraq to offer a $100,000 bounty for his slaying.

The U.S. official spoke on condition of anonymity.

It's not clear whether Paulin-Ramirez might face terror charges.

Her mother Christina Mott, of Leadville, Colo., told The Associated Press that she learned of her daughter's arrest in the case from the FBI and other federal law enforcement agencies.

Denver FBI officials said Friday they couldn't confirm that the FBI had contacted Mott about the case.

Dean Boyd, a Justice Department spokesman, said the agency was aware of the arrests in Ireland but had no comment on the identities of those taken into custody. "Our investigation continues," he said.

Mott said that Paulin-Ramirez told her family after she left in September that she went to Ireland with her 6-year-old son and married an Algerian whom she met online. Before abruptly leaving Colorado, Paulin-Ramirez had been a straight-A nursing student, her mother said.

'This is about my baby'
Earlier this week, Irish authorities announced the arrest of seven Muslims in the alleged plot, only identifying them as three Algerians, a Libyan, a Palestinian, a Croatian and an American woman married to one of the Algerians. They were arrested Tuesday, hours before U.S. authorities unveiled a terror indictment against LaRose.

On Saturday, Irish police said that three of those arrested had been released without charges, while three other men and an American woman remain in custody.

Irish police refused to confirm whether Paulin-Ramirez is the woman in custody, and have declined to release the identities of any of those arrested.

The Wall Street Journal, quoting anonymous sources familiar with the case, first reported on its Web site that Paulin-Ramirez was being held in the alleged plot.

Christine Mott said she's concerned for the welfare of her grandson, who has been placed in the custody of Ireland's foster care system.

"This is about my baby," Christine Mott said. "We need some help to get this baby back. I'm concerned about my daughter but I'm concerned about our baby boy because he shouldn't be caught in the middle of this."

The Motts said Paulin-Ramirez announced to her family last spring that she was converting to Islam and began wearing headscarves, and later a hijab.

"It came out of left field," Christine Mott said. "I knew she was talking to these people online... What caused her to turn her back on her country, on her family and become this person? I don't know how or why. All I know is she was in contact with this Jihad Jane.

"The only thing I could think of is that they brainwashed her."

so..... when is summer??

Dream Book New Edition

The newest instalment of my nightstand novel of dreams.....

appropriately titled

Left Behind.

Two nights ago i had a dream, in this dream i was working in Ensenada Mexico doing what i have long felt my calling in life is and living on my Ranch tending to my vineyard... I was visited by the Lord Jesus while tending to my Grape branches, He told me that within minutes the rapture would be taking place and the world would be hit with the disappearance of millions of christians as well as military attacks and natural disasters, Jesus mentioned to me that he had promised through the Bible that because of my stance in accepting him as Lord i was allowed to be taken with the Christians off the earth to heaven in the rapture... He then laid out an ultimatum for me... i had been selected to carry out a very important task for God to put into motion the end of time, i could accept this task or i could be apart of the rapture and go with him up to heaven... know being it Jesus asking me to do this task i was not about to say no... I agreed and gave me strict directions on what i was supposed to do... I was to Go to Jerusalem and Shoot the Antichrist in the Head.

(And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast." Revelations 13:3)

I went immediately to my Yacht and took off down the Coast of the Baja toward the Panama Canal. By the time i had hit Panama, all the things the Lord had told me where in full swing. The Christians had been raptured and the world was in confusion. There had been military attacks from the middle east and natural disasters all over the globe.. also the world had been put into order of the mark of the beast and no one could by or sell with out the mark.. this included passing through the Canal... realizing that with out the mark i could not pass i swiftly decided to travel by foot through the south part of Costa Rica which was littered with military and guerilla warriors to reach the other Coast. seemed like 2 seconds and i was at the other side of Costa Rica and stealing a yacht and food from a small town on the atlantic side... from there i was on my way to Israel... half way across i got a email on my computer.. (dont ask how but i had my laptop) it was my English connection Friend Louisa telling me that she had been left behind too and she didn't know what to do.. after communicating she asked me to pick her up in a port town on the coast of Portugal and take her with me... i made it to the port town and could not locate my lovely friend Louisa.. i waited a while and got the feeling that something had happened and i needed to press on... i shipped off toward Israel to meet with my destiny... unfortunately moments after leaving the Coast of Portugal......

i woke up.....

stories of summer....

this story was from quite a while ago... i was talking about it with my good friends in England and LA and thought that i should put it up to keep record more then anything... name shall remain nameless for this was a foolish thing to do... this was one of those things that no matter how awesome the idea sounded... the follow through just felt.. wrong..! sorry kid... heres lookin at you!

This story takes place at a ‘resort’ town in southern western Manitoba, beautiful spot.. Big cliffs all around a long, skinny, river-like lake. the three of us were well known as the bad ass kids in town... when we were around you best hide.... If you had been awaken by bombs in the middle of the night, if your place had been vandalized, or if you broke a leg chasing down kids that stole something of yours... Well that would be us.. (side note with the bombs, actually gave a lady a heart attack by blowing up a bomb in her front yard) This particular story happened on a sunny Sunday afternoon.. One of those afternoons where everyone is already outside at 11 AM in their bathing suit, walking around, eating ice cream perhaps. The weather a bomby 33 degrees (or 95f) and not a cloud in the sky... Being the night owls we were, this was our down time... We crawled out of bed and decided that we couldn’t wait again until nightfall.. Something must be done in the sunlight... We walked outside a while thinking what could be done at such a time when... SPLASH! A young boy, probably 14, with a strong English accent sprayed me in the side of the head playfully with a water gun... The light bulbs went off in Joes head and we immediately agreed upon the task. You see this young chap from England was well know as the “annoying kid who tries to fit in with everyone by being obnoxious but tattles on you for everything so you get super pissed off at him” kid. Our dark idea involved nothing more then what he had used on me. A water gun.. The contents we chose to get him back with??????? Joes piping hot Urine. When the bottle was filled and the gun was ready, we jumped in the van and swung around the block a few times. Finally we spotted those bobbing blonde jerry curls and an shirtless over weight boy bouncing away from the beach and towards the road. With Joe driving, Corey in the back watching with Great anticipation, I sat in the passenger seat, gun in hand, feeling the warmth of Joe’s Urine though the plastic against my fingertips... Closer we crept, the boy oblivious to what was about to happen.. Here we were! right on top of him! Like any great “boyz in the hood” style drive-by, I popped up from the crouch position and hung half out the window. I squeezed the trigger twice, squirt* squirt*, by the time he knew what had hit him, he was already rejoicing..... and soaking up the new ‘friends’ he had made who wanted a good old fashioned water fight... I squeezed three more shots out as he was slowly moving to the back of the vehicle... Squirt* squirt* squirt* to my disbelieve after the first shot was fired he opened his mouth in excitement!!! SPLASH first hit right on his forhead with afterspray running through that golden blonde hair. SPLASH final shot directly into the mouth of the victim... Immediately changing the expression on his face from sheer joy to disgust and confusion.... We sped away...


Oddly enough we never got tattled on for that one.... Good thing :)
