well, kudos to CsawDMILL (aka J Solberg, aka Amos the King), who has come to the Rescue of all of us.... his comment on my post reads as follows:
"Here's the straight dope from a 24hour a day hebrew speaker (sounds like part of a jewish stereo system, ha). "El Sh'dai" in a religous context is just one of the many names...and means exactly "God, who is sufficient".."sh" means "who is" and "dai" means "enough". We say "Dai!" when we want someone to "stop it, already!"..But..wait! The word(s) "shad'ai" also mean "my breasts". Really. "shad" is breast and the "ai" ending means "mine". So there...you're all correct..sort of"
so, i thank Amos-the-King, and i know that Dr. Tanner thanks him, since this will spare her the Reprimands she might otherwise have gotten...

I THINK ITS THE WHOLE RELAXATION MINDSET, LETTING THE STRESS GO AND TAKING IN THE SOUNDS AND SMELLS OF A SPRING EVENING THAT ALLOW MY MIND TO DRIFT AND THOUGHTS OTHER THEN MY BANK ACCOUNT, CREDIT CARD BALANCE, WORK AND COLLEGE.
THE CHRISTIANS TOLD ME IF I WAS OPEN TO HEAR GOD HER WOULD SPEAK TO ME WHEN THE TIME IS RIGHT. I AM NOT FIRMLY SET ON THE FACT THAT THERE IS NONE. I WAIT TO HEAR HIS WORDS WITH AN OPEN MIND. UNTIL THEN I REMAIN WITH THE BELIEF THAT I HAVE.
PS.
I'm from New Jersey - if the world ended today we would adjust .... John Gorka
ITS SO TRUE HAHAHA!
Welll- I think God appreciates all the specific concern we give ....what I believe is that God is our Heavenly Parents; Completely unified dual aspects of the same essence, God. In the Psalms I think God is nurturing us at "his?" breast..... That is very feminine! Sister Julian also had much to say on the subject. And who would say they did not FEEL God from their mother? Oh well...thanks for your wonderful site...Aunt L
thanks for your comment. I remember blue laws. I agree with them actually to a point but here is the thing. What scares me is the door that would be open for anygroup, particularly Muslims that would not do things to honor God but place us in bondage. I am the ripe old age of 42. It used to be you could walk downtown on a Sunday and the shops were all closed.
YES A VALID POINT. THEY ARE ALLOWED TO EXIST (MEANING THEY'RE NOT BEING EXECUTED FOR BEING GAY) YET THEY ARE GIVEN OR NO WAY OF BEING GAY AND STILL MAINTAINING A POSITIVE PUBLIC IMAGE.
I JUST DONT SEE THE BIG DEAL FOR LETTING GET MARRIED
RYC: " oh, and (straight) guys > clue one: if two women are making love to each other and it is real and not a porn movie, they truly DON'T want you to join in... so get over that."
I CAN STILL HOPE, CAN'T I ?
This person speaks hebrew 24 hours a day? Ah, well. Thank the lord for him putting my mind at rest.
RYC: Lol. thanks for the info on the race.
Thank you for the reply.
I'm glad to see that logic and faith have come to reinforce one another for you. I believe it to be a very healthy and ultimately constructive approach to life and it's difficulties. Often times, one cognition will take severe precedence over the other, because the conflict between to the two is too great, eliminating the other cognition.. which falls in line with denial.
I'm not as versed in the events at Rwanda as I likely come off. I mainly know there was genocide and I know what mentality is required to allow genocide to occur. Beyond that, I'm afraid I've little understand in regards to the events. I believe much of your reply falls in line with my psychoanalytical response on sweet acid rain's Xanga.
Essentially, the two kinds of externally destructive mindsets, as depicted by the author whose name currently eludes me, is: I'm okay, you're not okay. I'm not okay, you're not okay. The latter being the most destructive, as you well put, human life is considered expendable.
In response to God’s gender, I understand your point, and I’ve been one to refer to God as He, without little thought into the matter, but I think that derives from my belief in God, or lack thereof. Not that I am without a spiritual side, it’s more a belief in an entity, or entities, far different from the conventional, omnipotent, omniscient, long-bearded, homosexual killing entity often depicted.
In regards to the current state of economic and governmental affairs, I believe I talked of this somewhere amidst Xanga before, I believe it to be another… potentially destructive condition. Things don’t change until they’re either unacceptable or intolerable. The current situation is not ‘bad enough’ to motivate change. As long as something is ‘tolerable,’ it generally remains. We intellectually understand things could be better, much better, but in correspondence with emotional apathy, as a result of this ‘tolerable’ state, we’re at stalemate.
The whole idea of change seems to draw back to cognitive dissonance. The conflict between cognitions, primarily intellect and emotions, must exist to facilitate a desire for change. What I believe happens is many don’t see the situation as an issue, as if it will simply correct itself, as if it’s just a ‘phase’ of our economy, which facilitates apathy. In the face of emotional apathy, intellect dictates action, but the intellect views the situation as self-resolving. The current situation will have to devolve to an intolerable point before there’s enough cognitive dissonance to incur change. Otherwise, the ‘tolerable’ mindset and emotional apathy will remain, as will our current situation.
Anyhow, I’ll cease my psychobabble.
François is not an uncommon name amongst Afrikaans men. That said I am studying French, so I can understand what you typed easily...but I'm not confident enought to write or speak French myself yet.
Hugh Masekela was incredible! I mean...wow...
"we have made the world a little better, pushed back some of the darkness, combatted some of the chaos, and that should never be underrated..."
Yes, you are entirely true. Your entire comment was true. Thank you.
