Pondering Things

This post is a mental sticky note. You may or may not see these subjects in future posts…unless you want to see them explained. :)

  1. Why is it that head covering opponents seem more trapped in their cultural context ["We don't wear those any more, therefore, it is cultural!"] than those who are pro-headcovering?
  2. Bush compared the United States’ founding to the founding of Israel, even down to the “guiding principles”. Very appropriate. We push out/murder/fence in the natives so we can have a homeland. Because God told us to. Right.
  3. I need a vocation where I effect positive change in peoples’ lives. I am tired of being a desk jockey. And I don’t want to be a public school teacher or a nurse.

Pure Fashion 2007

To be fair, I will add this video from 2007 of Pure Fashion runway work. STILL, I see some things that crossed over their standards a few times. Like, seats. Lots of seats.

Tastefully Trendy

The accompanying video for the Pure Fashion rant. Note, they like to layer clothing [ok] and, umm, tend to choose the least amount of clothing to still abide by their standards. For instance, were there any skirts longer than knee-length? Any sleeves past the elbows? And, whoa girlfriend at 1:12, you need a cami under that blouse!

Quotes

"I can't say I don't believe in your God, but I don't believe He meant the world to be as it is." ~Nicholas Higgins. North and South.

"I wanted you to see what real courage is, instead of getting the idea that courage is a man with a gun in his hand. It's when you know you are licked before you begin but you begin anyway and you see it through no matter what." No idea where that last quote came from, but I like it!
