i need to take a step back and breathe

sometimes I feel like Jacob circa Genesis 29

but I am looking towards seeing the work of my Lord's hand as in Genesis 30:25-43.


funny how Genesis can be such a relevant book to modern life. or maybe it just shows how Man, when cored down to his essence, is the same then and now. but the coolest thing is that my God is the same yesterday, today and forever.

Why all children should grow up watching Charlie Brown cartoons

Linus Van Pelt: Well, I can understand how you feel. You worked hard, studying for the spelling bee, and I suppose you feel you let everyone down, and you made a fool of yourself and everything. But did you notice something, Charlie Brown?

Charlie Brown: What's that?

Linus Van Pelt: The world didn't come to an end.

'A Boy Named Charlie Brown' (1969)

-------

I took a trip down memory lane recently and watched 'A Boy Named Charlie Brown' and 'A Charlie Brown Christmas' and realised how beautiful in every sense of the word these cartoons are (they just don't make shows like them anymore!)

Every child should grow up watching them for the lessons they teach and grown-ups should re-watch them to remind ourselves of the important things in life which we seem to have forgotten while we were busy "growing up".

A modern day spin to the 'Declaration of the Rights of Man and Citizen'

Article 1: "All the consumers, being equal in [the eyes of money], are equally admissible to service, according to their capacity and without distinction other than that of their manners."

Complaining when you are unhappy with the service (or lack of) and expressing your disappointment is hence permissible.
