I Also Need To Say Thank You

Although I Totally Dislike Corona-19

Don't get me wrong. I totally dislike Corona Virus-19. I dislike that this disease is taking over things. It's potentially hurting people all over the world. It's closed so many things. It's killed a ton of people too. It's canceled events and church services. It's caused me to lose literally both of my jobs. But this Corona-19 Quarantine has caused me to realize and remember so many things. I wish I could have been reminded of these things some other way. In a way that wasn't closing everything, causing people to be sick and die.

Corona-19 has given me a break. This is something that I'm terrible at. I have always loved being busy. I have loved being non -stop and going from event to event and place to place. I've loved every activity I'm involved in. I've loved every person in every group that I spend time with. I have gone from job to job even in a day with literally thirty minutes in between. But Corona-19 has caused me to mostly be at home. It's caused me to stop and think okay I've got nothing necessarily on my agenda what do I want to do? It's caused me to sit, think, rest, and start returning to old hobbies.

Corona-19 has given me time for more reflection, more prayer, more worship time, and more study time. It has really gotten me to stop, reflect, pray and listen to worship music. I listen to worship as often as I can normally but sometimes it would just be in my car on the way to whatever event or whatever job and home. It's given me more time to just be with God.

Corona-19 has given me more time to spend walking and being outside. It's given me some needed exercise and the time to do it. It's given me more time to spend with my puppy. I've had him since he was nine weeks old and April 4th he will be nine months old. I've loved our time together but Corona-19 has given me more time to spend with my puppy.

Corona-19 has given me a chance and time to go back to enjoying a hobby that I haven't had time for in the past. It's given me the enjoyment back.

So yes Corona-19 is a terrible thing. It's something doing horrible things. But in the middle of a quarantine, we need to change our viewpoint and mindsets. We need to look at the good things.

I am going to a rhyme without reason date function and I have looked at so many different rhyming words and I figured there need to be a new list of words. At these functions, there are usually at least two rockers and boxers and an umpteenth amount of dogs and frogs. I have come up with a list of creative and unique ideas for these functions.

If you like what you see, get a shopping cart going with these costumes.

Epic Creation Myths: Norse Origins Unveiled

What happened in the beginning, and how the heavens were set in motion.

The Norse Creation Myth

Now, I have the everlasting joy of explaining the Norse creation myth. To be honest, it can be a bit kooky, so talking about it is always fun. The entire cosmos is included in this creation myth, not just the earth but the sun and the moon as well. This will be a short retelling, a summary of the creation myth, somewhat like I did with Hermod's ride to Hel.

We all scroll through the radio stations in the car every once in a while, whether its because we lost signal to our favorite one or we are just bored with the same ol' songs every day. You know when you're going through and you hear a song where you're just like "I forgot this existed!" and before you know it, you're singing every word? Yeah, me too. Like, 95% of the time. If you're like me and LOVE some good throwback music, here's a list of songs from every genre that have gotten lost in time, but never truly forgotten.
