AnneLine Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 What part... the candle lit mass? (see below) or the warm car (literally warm out in the cold after being turned off for 60 mins.... says somethign about how high my hubby likes to jack up the heat in that car AND how cold we had been. The heat wafting out of the opened car doors was very inviting.... no sense of penitential spirit any where near old AnneLine.... BTW... this is a picture of the Church of the Epiphany (described above) And here are some of my own parish... Set up for the candlelite Mass... BTW... our parish survived the Loma Prieta earthquake, even though part of the Church fell down into the street and it required $8 Million in retrofitting. I was trying to remember something about this yesterday, and then I remembered, because it reminds me of how FUNNY the Holy Spirit can be sometimes, truly a tease.... We spent nearly 9 months with NO WINDOWS while they were being releaded and retrofitted. You talk about cold? A stone building in a foggy, windy city... with cloth hangings over the windows. And the NOISE!!! Flapping fabric, howling winds, drove the preachers nuts for months. Everyone was waiting for Pentecost.... we figured the preacher would have all the special effects he could DREAM of to preach about the Spirit... and what did we get. Dead silence. Not a puff of wind. Nor fire. Funny, very funny, Holy Spirit! Here's what we looked like during the retrofit.... you don't realize how much the windows add until they are GONE!!!!! And this is what they put in to stabilize our Church -- Flying Buttresses in the Parking Lot!!!! And yup, we have some beautiful Churches out here.....

arfink Posted January 7, 2013 Author Share Posted January 7, 2013 Well, it's the first full week of the New Year. Time to get back on track. The huge project we had going is beginning to cool off, and I worked out the kinks with the boss. First step for getting back on track for the new year: - I need a nap. Yesterday I was awake for 19 hours, and only got to sleep for 6. That needs to be fixed. In general, in the new year I want to get better sleep. :) - I need to restart my exercise routine. I'm not 100% sure what I'm going to adopt for exercise since riding bikes in snow and ice is not merely cold and inconvenient, but genuinely dangerous. - I need to get back on the wagon with the Daily Draw. This past week has thrown EVERYTHING out of whack, even that stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnneLine Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 Prayers for you on your new resolutions... sound really HEALTHY!!!! For what it is worth, ARFink, I'm finding that the Sparkpeople website gives me lots of good tools and lots of motivation... and they have a lot of exercising ideas on there. You might want to check out the exercise stuff even if you don't want to do the food tracking part of it -- but both are ideal..... and no, I am NOT paid by these people... www.sparkpeople.com I PMed you the photo of my parish creche because I can't figure out how to get it on line -- in case you want to post it on this thread. or not... your choice! Prayers for everyone as we start the week! (I'd send you a nap if I could....) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arfink Posted January 8, 2013 Author Share Posted January 8, 2013 Well, my employer needed me to do some work today. Then by the time I got that done I was really melting down, and tried to sleep. I didn't get my nap though. My family then needed me to do chores for dinner prep. Then I couldn't go to bed right after dinner because I have to help clean up from it. I'm going to go do that now. I had to wait for my turn even, without falling asleep. Blaaaaaa :yawn: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arfink Posted January 8, 2013 Author Share Posted January 8, 2013 I am going to bed. But first it is time to thank the Lord for being so gracious today despite my complete inability to wait patiently and trust Him today. And to thank Him for the wonderful gift of this song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WaOQMLOLjmQ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What genera is that anyway? :P I am not precisely sure. I would say it's under the general class of electronic music. The subclass is likely something along the lines of "house" or "IDM." Perhaps "downtempo electronica." I'm not exactly sure how the subclasses work. There are too many. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arfink Posted January 8, 2013 Author Share Posted January 8, 2013 http://www.foxnews.com/tech/slideshow/2013/01/07/inside-world-most-powerful-laser/?intcmp=features#slide=1 That's cool, but they don't say how the beam is produced at all. It's just pictures of the target. Stupid Fox reporters don't even point the cameras at the stuff we WANT to see, that is to say, the actual laser!

arfink Posted January 8, 2013 Author Share Posted January 8, 2013 I know I have said it before, and I'll say it again: me owning firearms is probably not the best idea in the world. That said, if I were to own only one firearm in all my days, I'd want it to be this one: This is called the Mateba Unica 6, or Mateba Autorevolver. It's one odd-duck of a firearm. It fires from the bottom chamber of the revolver instead of the top. It also re-cocks itself with the recoil, like how a semi-automatic pistol does, but it's a revolver. Revolvers just don't work that way, but this one does. They were all hand-made in Italy and designed by a crazy guy who I would call a modern-day Leonardo daVinci, who makes crazy unusual firearms not for any particular reason, but just to see how crazy he can make them. It's like God making a platypus just because. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I first saw the gun, the holly was hanging over it... making the trigger appear to be reversed. My first thought when reading your text, ARFink, was that you wanted to point the gun at yourself. Glad to know it is merely a misplaced holly berry. BAD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arfink Posted January 8, 2013 Author Share Posted January 8, 2013 Hehe, yes I know. This conversation brought to you by the Cathedral Young Adults group, who invited me to go to the shooting range with them. But I can't go, because it's bring-your-own-gun and I don't have one. Oh well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arfink Posted January 8, 2013 Author Share Posted January 8, 2013 Note to self- now that the laser no longer has hangup issues, make sure to close the door when it's running unattended while cutting acrylic. That stuff smells SO BAD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
