The first thing that came to my mind was actually witnessing Sputnik fly overhead in 1957 when I was 6 years old; I can still picture where I was - standing outside at night with my family at the intersection half a block away and looking up at the night sky and being amazed by the sight. Can't say I actually eyewitnessed any other real history first hand, but of course saw lots of stuff on TV, like the assassination of Lee Harvey Oswald, moon shots, coverage of JFK's funeral, coverage of the Cuban Missile Crisis (which scared the bejesus out of me).

The only thing in this world we have complete unquestionable control over is our own mind, and our own thoughts, and how we choose to frame (or think about) things.

Stop your thoughts on demand and see how successful you are at controlling your mind. You may suppress them for a very short time, but they will come again. If you've ever had a single thought that you didn't want then you have no control over your mind/thinking.

-25 this morning in my part of Wisconsin. Yesterday was -28 when I checked at 8 AM, so it was probably colder. Schools here were closed both days. In 1977 we got to -60, that's air temperature not wind chill.

I once heard Kenneth Copeland describe God's height and weight, something along the lines of 6'2" and 190 pounds. WTF?

champ Adam n Eve were not created with original sin they were created perfect they sinned after
They sinned afterward because they were set up to sin, to sin without understanding the consequences. What's the point in being given free will and then being punished for exercizing it and then condemning everyone who comes after them for a sin they weren't responsible for? And then, all those people who never heard of Jesus and how to be "saved" are, nevertheless, also condemned to suffer eternal damnation. "Original sin," does this really sound like it comes from an all loving God or does it sound like an idea that came from the human mind?

Boring Blockbusters
by compound complex ingreetings, movie buffs:.
i grew up with scary movies of the 1950s -- "the beast from 20,000 fathoms," "forbidden planet," "the thing" (howard hawkes).
in "the thing," the audience gasped when the men surrounding the ice-encased object proved to be circular: a flying saucer!

New Study Exposes Acupuncture As Pseudoscience
by alecholmesthedetective inbesides it being pseudoscience, what interests me about this is that even though it's something to do with the "qi" energy flowing in our bodies, that wasn't a problem for some members of my family or a special pioneer i knew.. new study exposes acupuncture as pseudoscience.

I highly recommend Jon-Kabat-Zinn and mindfulness based meditation.
