i just saw something bizarre, disturbing in an amusing sort of way, and completely crazy.. So I went on the back porch to feed the ducks, and here's this guy with no jacket, bare feet and sandals walking across the ice on the river to pick up a hat that someone lost/ threw in the river.. he pulls it off the ice, and walks back to where he entered the river, goes up a giant snowbank, slippy-slides and lost one of his sandals. lol.. digs in the snow, and puts it back on and proceeds to climb the snowbank and climb over the fence at the top, which he broke, btw. He then promptly slipped and fell on the ice in the yard where he was, and i couldn't help myself..i laughed..lol... 
I tell you, there's never any shortage of bizarre things to see here.. lmbo.. 
Then the guy waves this frozen hat in the air like a trophy, all while yelling, "i'm the hero".. emmmm..

"Israel"?I just noticed that the name Isreal is the joining of the words "is real" as in God is real. I think my mind just exploded!

I've noticed lately that I'm not as open as I once was. And it doesn't bother me, but it sort of bothers me that it doesn't bother me.

Thanks Grace.
But she's had over 24 hours to say anything at all, even 'hey i'm busy i'll respond later'. She's found time to spend on FB posting pictures and doing other things, just not time to even acknowledge me in any way.

You said she read your apology. That sounds like she acknowledged you. Sometimes people require more time to process and actually respond than we presume they need in this kind of a situation. Don't mark it up as a loss just yet. Hang in there.

Oh man. This is a HUGE let down. HUGE I tell you!!
Properly it's יִשְׂרָאֵל (Yisra'el) and it's original meaning is debated other than el being the abbreviated of Elohim.

Well, if we go down the list of when it's a good time to do things, it's never really a good time to be interacting with people. People do crazy things all the time, even rational people do them.
But if it makes you feel any better, not all of us are out to get you. Well, except the ones who are out to get you. Look now, behind you.
Ah, made you look!
No but seriously some of us would actually miss your posts.
That show really is awesome, but I'd swear the animators are on some sort of drugs to come up with it.
However, I think every man would agree - the ideal woman is part Princess Bubblegum, part Marceline the Vampire Queen, and part Flame Princess. Actually, I'm not sure every man would agree with that, myself included, but it sounded cool.
When I was in South Dakota, we had a weekend where we let the kids stay overnight, for a weekend. We took in a few teen girls from a shelter on the reservation. I think it was more of an alternative housing, like an alternative school? I don't know. I don't remember. I just remember thinking, "These girls are gonna be rough around the edges" but what I didn't realize was just HOW rough. Life is extremely difficult for all on the rez. I have so many stories I could tell, but that's not the point. It was a very difficult weekend in every way. I can't tell if I broke through with them or not at all. Though, two of them accepted my friend request on Facebook shortly after, so that's something, I suppose.
It's been almost 3 years, I can still see their posts, so I know they haven't unfriended me. Hidden me, maybe. I don't know.
One of them is now pregnant. Her parents kicked her out.
The other has been posting suicidal statuses. There have already been at least 5 suicides this year, three of them children under 13 years old.
My heart is aching. I am crying and praying hard, but I still feel so useless and helpless. I could message them. They don't trust white people. They don't trust Christians. The worst they could do is message me back with biting words. I just wouldn't know what to say. Everything sounds cliche and I don't even know if they remember me. For now I will pray and see how the Spirit leads.

That's the best thing you can do, Rachel! Sometimes giving them to God is the best thing we can do. Actually when you think about it, it's the best thing you can ALWAYS do
I know it's rough because I've seen some ladies from church go through the same things. I feel so bad for them but prayer works. You know I've gotten suicidal thoughts in the past and I once posted something on facebook. Deep down I did it because I wanted someone to reach out to me. No one did through facebook, but I know now that I had my family praying for me and it worked! I haven't cut in over three years! My mom and aunts told me that they had been praying hard for me and it really did help. The Lord has brought me out of those thoughts. Sometimes I'll get sad and depressed but I've never taken action because I know now that I need to take it to the Lord. Well I guess I do take action but instead of cutting, I read the Word and pray or worship him. It has helped me tremendously!
Ask the Lord to see if you should send them a message. If not, then don't worry about it. Just pray for them. They are in his hands now. God bless ya sis!

Mild depression and moderate anxiety and stress - no surprise there, but not what I wanted to hear. Thanks, Doc.

Depression, huh? I don't know what the anxiety + stress is like, but I know the former. My heart goes out to you, bud. If only we were local so I could take you shopping for clothes and shoes. That always alleviates the saddies, right?
But seriously: praying for ya! Let us know if you need anything.

Thank you, brother. I'm seeing a psychologist starting next week. As for shopping, I don't care for it, unless it's for things like books, DVDs, music. But you're a funny one.
Thanks for the laugh.
