For the Grace of God

Father, thank You for making me alive in Christ! I declare that Jesus is my Lord and Saviour, and because He died for me, I can live the abundant life here on earth. Help me stay focused on You this day & live with the enthusiasm that comes from knowing You in Jesus’ name, Amen.

I never knew too much about him - just his visage is very familiar...

"The root causes of addiction, like those of many multifactorial diseases, are frustratingly elusive, a nebulous mixture of genetics, exposure, and environment. Addiction runs in families, but plenty of addicts come from families with no history of the disease. "

It's all a question of taste!

Ta da The Ring-necked Dove

Oops, my last blog entry was from Tuesday or Wednesday and it was only posted today. The sad error is that the blog is now looking confused as my posting is out of order. It would appear that I might be mad; nay, that would be the Mad Hatter...

Today it is magical and good with only 'Touch of Madness'. A fine place in Observatory that I used to visit with friends after working at the Fig. Those were the days, but sadly I work no more...
...at the enterprise to  earn a living. My days are taken up by remembering what is what, what goes where and how long is a piece of string, what is pi and the meaning of 42.
SOME REAL INFORMATION:
The ring-necked dove, also known as the Cape turtle dove or half-collared dove, is a widespread and often abundant dove species in East and southern Africa. It is a mostly sedentary bird, found in a catholic variety of open habitats. Wikipedia

Off to see the Lady

It must be observed that I have been extremely lonely and perplexed without my B.

is it or is it not

About a week or three days ago we did the diabetes thang
This is the WWW address: http://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/diabetes-insipidus/home/ovc-20182403

Diabetes insipidus





Overview

Diabetes insipidus (die-uh-BEE-teze in-SIP-uh-dus) is an uncommon disorder that causes an imbalance of water in the body. This imbalance leads to intense thirst even after drinking fluids (polydipsia), and excretion of large amounts of urine (polyuria).
While the names diabetes insipidus and diabetes mellitus sound similar, they're not related. Diabetes mellitus — which can occur as type 1 or type 2 — is the more common form of diabetes.
There's no cure for diabetes insipidus, but treatments are available to relieve your thirst and normalize your urine output.

what is the plan today - to live and enjoy

Good day! We shall get to the bottom of this ASAWC, with God's help.
A satirical essay by Benjamin Franklin in the Paris Journal (1784) pointed out that people would sleep through good sunlight then waste candles and lamp oil playing cards all night. The witty essay must have set a few people thinking about the issue.

Dead Poets Society is a 1989 American drama film written by Tom Schulman, directed by Peter Weir and starring Robin Williams. Set in 1959 at the fictional elite conservative boarding school Welton Academy,[3] it tells the story of an English teacher who inspires his students through his teaching of poetry.
The film received critical acclaim and was a box office success; it was also BAFTA's best film[4] and best foreign film in France and Italy. Schulman received an Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay for his work.

Plot

In 1959, shy Todd Anderson begins his senior year of high school at Welton Academy, an elite prep boarding school. He is assigned one of Welton's most promising students, Neil Perry, as his roommate and is quickly accepted by Neil's friends: romantic Knox Overstreet, overachiever Richard Cameron, best friends Steven Meeks and Gerard Pitts, and mischievous beatnik Charlie Dalton.
On the first day of classes, they are surprised by the unorthodox teaching methods of new English teacher John Keating, a Welton alumnus who encourages his students to "make your lives extraordinary", a sentiment he summarizes with the Latin expression carpe diem ("seize the day"). Subsequent lessons include standing on their desks to teach the boys how they must look at life in a different way, telling them to rip out the introduction of their poetry books which explains a mathematical formula used for rating poetry, and inviting them to make up their own style of walking in a courtyard to encourage them to be individuals. His methods attract the attention of strict Headmaster Gale Nolan.

21:52 Here comes nother one...Twin Peaks is an American television serial drama created by Mark Frost and David Lynch. It follows an investigation headed by FBI Special Agent Dale Cooper (Kyle MacLachlan) into the murder of homecoming queen Laura Palmer (Sheryl Lee) in the fictional town of Twin Peaks, Washington. Its pilot episode was broadcast on April 8, 1990, on ABC. Seven more episodes were produced, and the series was renewed for a second season that aired until June 10, 1991.
