I Love This Commerical: Ripple Effect

2 comments

present moment

I think about the future a lot and all of the wonderful life-events I hope to have in it. I think about the past some, too. But we will never actually live in the future. And we will never again live in the past. The future is just an idea. And the past is only a memory or some contribution to our present self.

There is no future after this present moment – there is just another present moment. We can’t escape it. Not in this life. And if we fail to live in the present moment, we could miss out on everything.

This commercial (below) captures the importance of the present moment (and all of the present moments to follow) in a powerful way. Any second could be the second that changes everything. Don’t miss it. [Keep Reading]

Dusty, sweaty, bloody faces

Post image for Dusty, sweaty, bloody faces

“It is not the critic who counts: not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself for a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat.” – Theodore Roosevelt, speech entitled “Citizenship in a Republic”, given at the Sorbonne, Paris on April 23, 1910 [source]

Abortion Doctor Admits He is Killing

Thumbnail image for Abortion Doctor Admits He is Killing

This abortionist admits he is killing human life (I wonder if he’s that honest with his patients?). And he’s an ordained Baptist minister (now Unitarian).
Just boggles the mind, really, what humans can learn to justify in their heads – and to this extreme (video below).

To Be A Mother

Thumbnail image for To Be A Mother

I was reminded of this gem from a great Mother’s Day article:
“A Christian mother cannot claim the honor of having built Notre Dame Cathedral. She need not. She has built something more magnificent than any cathedral—a dwelling for an immortal soul, the tiny perfection of her baby’s body. The angels have not been blessed with [...]

Looks cute: Babies – The Movie

This looks like it could be a neat movie. It’s coming out sometime in 2010. It documents the lives of four babies from first breath to first steps. But each baby is from a different part of the world: Mongolia, Namibia, San Francisco, and Tokyo. Seems like it will be a [...]

Rethinking Darwin’s Legacy

Thumbnail image for Rethinking Darwin’s Legacy

The world recently (Nov 24, 2009) marked the 150th anniversary of the publication of On the Origin of Species, by Charles Darwin. But some are rethinking exactly what Darwin’s legacy should be:
Bicentennial celebrations have portrayed Darwin as a kindly old gentleman pottering around an English house and garden. What that misses is the way [...]

Are some animals more valuable than human infants?

Thumbnail image for Are some animals more valuable than human infants?

Are some animals more valuable than human infants? It seems like such a ridiculous question to most of us. But in many intellectual circles it’s not only considered a good question, but the answer to the question for them is “yes.” Shocking…but true.
Jeremy Bentham was one such intellectual from the 1800’s best [...]

Christians Unite! The Manhattan Declaration

Here is something all Christians can get behind together. If we stand together on these important issues that are at the very core of living out our Christian faith, both society and The Body of Christ will benefit greatly.
Christians, when they have lived up to the highest ideals of their faith, have defended the [...]

STD Infections still rising, I wonder why

Sexually spread diseases continue to rise, with reported chlamydia cases setting yet another record in 2008, government health officials said Monday.[...]

Video: What a Wonderful World

People often ask why God doesn’t reveal himself to us with more evidence of his existence. To me that seems like the absolute worst case of not seeing the forest for the trees.
When I look around all I see is evidence of a great, good, intelligent, loving creator. What a great [...]

Quote: It’s going to be another good day!

“Just checked the obituaries. I’m not in there. It’s going to be another good day!” – Anonymous
Don’t forget to balance the thinking about future moments and dwelling on past ones with cherishing and enjoying the present one. The present moment is truly the only moment you ever have.

Quote: Life is complicated – deal with it

“A basic fact about the universe faced by all grownups is that life is complicated. Therefore, a revelation which claims to help us navigate the enormous complexity of human existence is going to be complex too. To protest this is like demanding the science of cardiology be “simplified” or declaring that doctors have made the [...]

Eugenics, Racism and Birth Control

Many are unaware of the close connection between racist eugenics and the proliferation of birth control. Many of the original sterilization, abortion and birth control movements, including Planned Parenthood, were at least partially motivated by a desire to “purify” the human race. It seems implausible to most of us today, but now so [...]

South Dakota: Abortionists must now tell the truth

Thumbnail image for South Dakota: Abortionists must now tell the truth

Women seeking an abortion must be told that the procedure ends a human life, a federal judge ruled Thursday, upholding part of a South Dakota law.
U.S. District Judge Karen Schreier said doctors must disclose to pregnant women that “the abortion will terminate the life of a whole, separate, unique, living human being.” – DakotaVoice.com
