and then God created the 'Perfect' Snowflake.......

Below you will read a portion from the book,   "Conversations with God"by Neale Donald Walsch............ I would love to receive some feedback on your feeling, thoughts, and insight regarding this excerpt.

(Question) What is Hell?
(Answer) It is the opposite of joy. It is unfulfillment. It is knowing who and what you are and failing to experience that. It is being 'less'. That is hell, and there is none greater for your soul.
But hell does not exsist as this place you have fantasized about, where you burn in some everlasting fire, or exist in some state of everlasting torment. What purpose could I have in that?
Even if I did hold the extraordinarily unGodly thought that you did not 'deserve' heaven, why would I have a need to seek some kind of revenge or punishment, for your failing?
 No one will judge you ever, for why, and hou could God (I) judge God's (my)  own creature and call it bad? If I expected or even whated you to be perfect, would have I not created you that way or left you in the state of perfection in which you came from, a part of the whole.... a part of me. You were originally created in my image , were you not?
 The whole point of the process is for you to discover yourself, create your self, as you truely are--- and as you truely wish to be. Should I therefore punish you for making a choice that I myself have laid before you? Do you not think I could create 'perfection' if I so chose to? Take a snowflake, for example. Have you ever seen anything more perfect than a snowflake? Its intricacy, its design, its symmentry, its conformity to itself and originality from all else-- if I can do that with a snowflake , what do you think I could do with you, have done with parts of this grand universe!
 This is a question you must ask yourself before you assign Me the role of a condemning God.

Daily Headaches...... New studies show..............

**************Oxygen Therapy For Cluster Headaches**************

Anecdotal clinical experience and a few small studies have previously shown that oxygen therapy may be effective in treating cluster headaches. Now, a new larger study published in the December 9, 2009 issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association affirms this notion. Cluster headaches are severe one-sided headaches that can cause tearing in the eye of the affected side, in addition to a stuffy nose. They are called cluster headaches because they tend to come and go with episodes occurring daily at the same time for days to several weeks at a time. The current study demonstrated that 100% inhaled oxygen delivered at 12 liters per minute by a face mask was able to provide adequate relief or complete resolution of a cluster headache in 78% of study patients. Twenty percent of study patients who received regular air were relieved of their headaches. “To our knowledge, this is the first adequately powered trial of high-flow oxygen compared with placebo, and it confirms clinical experience and current guidelines that inhaled oxygen can be used as an acute attack therapy for episodic and chronic cluster headache,” the authors write.

***WHAT WOULD YOU DO IF YOUR TEEN SET ANOTHER ON FIRE? (DISTURBING CONTENT)

WARNING : VERY DISTURBING CONTENT, TEENS' VIOLENCE RESULT IN ONE 15 YEAR OLD BOY BEING BURNED OVER 65% OF HIS BODY. 
I've read a lot of articles lately regarding bullying, violence, and what teens are and are not capable of. I came across this story and there are 2 reasons to share it. It is about a 15 yr old who was set on fire by a group of his peers (a year younger than my teen)....but also it is a testament to human strength.

Obviously, as the story tells these particular teens were capable of cruel violence   (so read the link knowing it is disturbing...) , but in the same token this young man...burned horrifically is in good spirits and his mom says he is not giving up, even thru the pain. They were told it would take 5 months to move him to rehab, this young man has done it in 5 WEEKS.

PLEASE...
--Talk to your teens about this story,
--get their thoughts,
--ask how it makes them feel
--ask if they know of anyone capable of something like this.
**If nothing else you can have a few moments talking with your child, but at best you may learn some interesting info about the teens of today.
Monsters come in all ages, shapes and walks of life...and apparently now they can be kids too.
ASK YOURSELF!
If you were the mom of one of the teens who did this, what would you do /think/feel/etc?

WOULD YOU KILL AND EAT A PREGNANT TURKEY?

The Tale of the Pregnant Turkey


One year at Thanksgiving, my brothers and I were invited to my sister Jenny's house for the traditional feast. Knowing how gullible my sister is, we decided to play a practical joke. My two brothers lured Jenny outside to check out some trees at the bottom of the garden.
As soon as Jenny left I took the turkey out of the oven, removed the stuffing, and replaced it with a partridge. Then I replaced the bird carefully in the oven.
Later, when the turkey was cooked my sister took the bird out of the oven and when it had rested she started to carve it. Then she decided to add the stuffing. Much to her amazement she found the partridge. At this point our mother piped up, "Jenny you've cooked a pregnant bird!" With this Jenny started to cry.
It took my brothers and I until early evening to convince Jenny that turkeys lay eggs, and don't give birth to live young.
