Fandango Flashback, FPQ

C.S. Lewis answers #FPQ Question

Myrna Migala

Prompts are always fun and inspiring, a challenge for sure, they make you think!

Two, not one of Fandango famous prompts are below:

Fandango’s flashback is always interesting and this one I posted a while ago; hopefully will make you smile if you read it to the end, that is! Here is the link —> Click

Now to his, Fandango Provocative Question from this week his blog; he asks! “Do you think, given everything that is going on in the world, that children born these days will have a worse or better life than their parents? Why do you feel that way?” I will attempt to answer this time through the words of C.S. Lewis and his famous quotes. Read together they result in good advice for all generations!

“Human history is the long terrible story of man trying to find something other than God which will make him happy.”—C.S. Lewis … “And out of that hopeless attempt has come nearly all that we call human history—money, poverty, ambition, war, prostitution, classes, empires, slavery—the long terrible story of man trying to find something other than God which will make him happy.”― C.S. Lewis

“If you look for truth, you may find comfort in the end; if you look for comfort you will not get either comfort or truth only soft soap and wishful thinking to begin, and in the end, despair.” ― C.S. Lewis … (because) “God can’t give us peace and happiness apart from Himself because there is no such thing.” ― C.S. Lewis

FPQ, Only 6Sentence

Something to think about!

Myrna Migala

The question today is: “When and where do you do your best thinking? Why is that?”

Mundane

Speaking for myself, it seems I am always thinking, from the time I awaken, my first thoughts are of my dreams; I usually say, where did that come from? The next thought would be, thinking of what I want to accomplish today!
Blogging is an everyday, something to think about, activity. I read, and ideas appear; either the prompts inspire me, or they don’t. When inspired, I say to my friends living in heaven, “please inspire me to write well what you want me to tell.”
I love reading profound things that inspire; mundane reading posts do not inspire me; who cares what you had for breakfast!

FPQ

Someone wants to know

Myrna Migala

I don’t usually agree with Fandango’s blog, but I love his Provocative question, story starters, and many other of his prompts. Thank you Fandango for the brainstormers!

Today he asks — What’s the best thing you’ve got going on in your life at the moment?

I am delighted that I have had the dreaded virus; my stay in the hospital was indeed an experience. The first question asked was, where did I get the Ivermectin without a prescription?  After my release from the hospital, I still had difficulty recovering; in desperation, I started to retake Ivermectin, although my papers from the hospital said to STOP, taking it! I only took it for three days while at home. Like a miracle, I started to feel like myself again, and now it has been over a month of feeling tip-top.

AllDayChemist, an online pharmacy without a prescription, has been a God sent to me; I am looking forward to Christmas, the birthday of Christ, with a zeal and fervor, that’s fervor, not fevers, praying never again. 

One drawback to this story is that I am starting to regain the weight I lost while being sick because I feel so good now.  

I am looking forward to baking my favorite Christmas cookies, hoping to discipline myself not to indulge too much. A recipe passed down to share below: 

Step 1:

Sift 3 cups of the flour and 1/4 cup of sugar, and 1 tsp of salt together to assure distribution of ingredients.  

Take one stick of buttered flavored  Crisco stick with four Tabl. Spoons of butter and mix with 1/2 cup of soft cream cheese. Combine with the flour and mix well together.

NEXT: Scald 1/2 cup of milk (wait till it cools a little, perhaps to 110degree), making sure it is still hotter than warm. Add two teaspoons of yeast and one teaspoon of sugar into the milk; wait a few minutes until it gets foamy, then mix with two egg yolks mix all together with flour blending together.   

Place your mixture in a warm place until it rises! 

NEXT: Roll with sugar instead of flour and cut into shapes, adding a dap of prune, berry, cherry, or whatever on top.

BAKE @ 350 till slightly browned. Enjoy and Merry Christmas to all!

I WONDER

Myrna Migala

Here we are again; time to paint a little, our PAINT CHIPS can be viewed below.

I WONDER

Where is Heaven? Immortal,
As an Aloe Vera plant!
Hidden — a total eclipse.
Where is this place we wonder
Wishful key to happiness!

Visualize the sunset
Looking at the Orion!
We rest near a calm marine.
Dreams of angels rolling out
That red carpet for winners!

Sorrowful tearful eyes seek
Cliff dwellings to hide within —
Lost their key to happiness,
Do they continually
Meditate where Heaven is?

Or IS IT? Predetermined!

Myrna Migala

A little bit of poetry inspired by dVerse 

Each day upon awaking, a mystery
Surprised to see the world survive?
We sit and sip our coffee or tea
Wondering what the day will decide

Our journey begins, our gift of time
Seal that plan; the day still young
Will it end happily and benign
Or just another night unstrung?

We are taught the choice is ours
Or is it?

The Big Question IS …

Myrna Migala

I recently watched a clip of Pelosi asking Trump to defend himself.

Does he even know the charge? I wonder since I have been waiting to hear what it was, and so far, it must be a secret.  

Now this tidbit from.     link

Morrison, who was on the July 25 Trump-Zelensky call testified in Schiff’s secret basement star chamber that nothing illegal was discussed on the Trump-Zelensky phone call.

This is why Schiff held his secret hearings behind closed doors in a basement.

Schiff doesn’t want the American public to know that President Trump’s phone call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky was completely above board.

How dishonest can one be?

No wonder my democratic friends from Chicago, (where I was born and raised) are voting for Trump next time around.

Maybe the Intelligent are the Stupid

Myrna Migala

“The fundamental cause of the trouble is that, in the modern world, the stupid are cocksure while the intelligent are full of doubts.”
Do you concur with Mr. Russell’s perspective? Why or why not?

One particular feature I love about blogging is the learning — example today the question ABOVE of #FPQ ASKED  came up about Bertrand Russell and his ^ quote.

Objectively Speaking Fact and Intentions

Myrna Migala

The FPQ question of today is prompting us to answer this…

“Do you believe that anyone can really experience anything objectively? Why or why not?”

Yes, I do believe we can all experience objectively. Stop first and analyze our motive for our actions and even our thoughts.
Understanding our purpose in life; which is the same for all of us, the objective purpose to serve God. Therefore when we act in such a way that the highest motive of our action serving HIM we experience that moment in time objectively.

Simply put ask yourself; what is our Intention of doing, thinking, pursuing!

EXAMPLE

Giving generously as much as we can, if we give freely because we love God; thereby we obey Him when He teaches “Love your neighbor as yourself.” However, if our motive of giving is the secondary motive of PRIDE, by that I mean, God does not enter our action we offer because we want the world to see how generous and beautiful a person or organization we are.
Although a good action that benefits, still it is not done with the most significant motive but the lesser.
