The Heart of Love

[Rebelman]

So much going on this week. This is my last week of classes before finals. I am taking 8 classes (Can yall handle that? ) And I should make all A's in them even though I must declare it was not simple to do!

This Wednesday I will be preaching on the subject of Love. It's a subject that is the most important in motivation in life. Without Love, everything is meangless. What we do, what we say, what we accomplish, what we know, is pointless if Love was not the key motivator of the moving of your life. That is the central core of my message for Wednesday. I'll have a microphone attached to my colar since My folks want to hear me preach it. I'll have it on a handy dandy Cassette tape for them to hear.

EIGHT classes !!!



And they're all challenging ones,too....

I remember my college days.

I had ,at worst,4 classes.

Most of the time I had one- or two if you count three hour classes like
P.E. and voice.

I busted my derriere to get a 3.2 taking honors biology,cultural anthropology,
theories of personality,etc.

Of course,I didn't get into honours biology because I was smart.

I took it because it was critter friendly and didn't meet till 10 a.m.

(I even had to take half of it again in summer school because my mom and aunt
didn't realize the science experiment in my dorm room WAS a science experiment.

They tidied up an eight week investigation into local aquifers that made up half the grade
for me and my roommate.

For six weeks,they had two girls in college.)

I hope all you students are making good use of your time .

That means more than just studying (or playing) hard.

I hope you can cut back on the hours a bit and enjoy your youth some.

Maybe do some work study,Habitat for Humanity,Goodwill or foodbanks or immerse
yourselves in an outreach program that would help you learn another language such as
Spanish or sign.

These would help you in your vocations and get you out and about.

Visiting the elderly and kids,etc. would help,too.

There's more to life than book learnin' and a lot more to see than just one point of view.

As I've said elsewhere,you can't get a full,clear view of where you've come from till
you step far enough away to get some perspective.

Any other scenery you catch on the way is a bonus.

You want to grow from your journey-not get worn out.

Be sure and use your time off wisely.

The 3 R's are rest,recuperate and re-energize (or is that get ROWDY?)

Good luck with your preaching,Reb.

You will share a copy of that cassette with us,won't you?

[Rebelman]

Thank you for your support dear. I know about the class loads so I can feel your pain on that.

I did my sermon today. Everybody was apparently blown away. Comments ranged from hand shakings to "Was this really your first time?" to "I really needed to hear that". All makes me feel good that I accomplished my objective with the power of God on my side today

I have it all on cassette tape. No CD's here so get your technology out of your closets if you want one

[tjaman]

Well ... a transcript summary would do just fine, I'd think.

I'd imagine it in your voice.

[Rebelman]

I'm not entirely sure how. I only trascripted the opening and the closing. The rest I only have in outline form. My actual words I do not have transcripted.

I have it on a mini cassette. Is there a way to make duplicates of those?

[tjaman]

There are, but I believe they involve sugar gliders and a miracle.

[quantumcat]

You could play the cassette next to a big tape recorder or sumpn'.... ?

If not,I'll provide little gliders and .

[Rebelman]

I actually think that may work. I have a larger tape recorder I'll just have to put the speaker head against the recorder part of it and let it record on a standard tape and make copies.

Yall will have to forgive me. I don't know what Ipods are, wii's are, dvds are. But I do know what records are, cassettes are, vcr's are, and 8 tracks are.

[quantumcat]

I know what most of this new stuff is-kinda.

But I have one thing in common with Harry Dresden of Dresden Files fame.

Technology and I don't mix.

(I'd make a better cave person than I would an astronaut-and not just because
too much Tang disagrees with me.)

I can handle very basic point-and-click stuff but anything intricate confuzzles me.

I inadvertantly return the favor by frying hard drives,killing stereoes,causing
temporal anomalies in wristhingyches and making basic household appliances go on strike.

(My beloved won't let me near his workroom.)

I'm the gal who makes the ATM go tilt.

I make the vending machine eat your change and stop the merchandise from dropping down where you can reach it.

Buy coffee out of one of those overgrown Transformers?

It gives me the black decaf and THEN the micron-thin chartreuse and aqua paper cup.

(No,I was no where near the exploding bidets they had in the news-but it made sense
to me.)

I envy all of y'all who know this stuff inside out and can make all the new gadgets work.

Reb,you and I can stay behind in our earth-sheltered homes with the no tech amenities
and try to get the hang of new-fangled things like the wheel and fire....
