Do not boast about tomorrow, for you do not know what a day may bring forth. Let another praise you, and not your own mouth; someone else, and not own lips.

the following is a disjointed lament and I don't expect you to understand it or follow (but you won't need a college degree to read it):
-If you see something that's too good to be true...it is.
-Don't do it.
-There is no get rich quick way, and lots of con artists are out there ready to remove you from your money.
-you do too have sucker written on your forehead...we all do.
-Hard work and sweat of your own are best.
-Even the bible says to work hard everyday and not be a sluggard. (eek---not another one of those Bible thumpers???---eek, eek)

Movies, movies and more movies....
I've been doing movie marathons lately by using my library's collection instead of purchasing movies I'll only see one time or dislike.
The following are what I watched over my own 3-day weekend.
Bullhead (2012)- a foreign film by Michael R. Roskam - a foreign film nominee for the Academy Awards 2012. Stunning is absolutely the word for this film. I would also go with tragic and ironic turns of events that so often happen in life that would be unbelievable if not for the actual event happening. This movie is a worthwhile view, be warned its a bit depressing as it deals with some stark realities in life.
Hope Springs (2012)- I would describe this movie as "a coming of age story," for those of us heading into our "golden age." Learning about ourselves and learning that growing old can be enjoyable too. Sweet story a little boring but a no brainer.
The Artist (2011)- This is the second time I've seen this movie and this one would be one to purchase for your movie collection. I love how it is a silent film movie made in 2011. Its a fun take on film presentation of similar plot of great actor falling to the wayside. side note: (love her bag when they stopped to quickly "speak" to each other on the stairs).
My Best Friend (1999) - an independent film by Werner Herzog. This is an interesting film about the late actor, Klaus Kinski (died 1991), and Warner Herzog and their volatile friendship. Some of the stories are almost unbelievable if they hadn't actually happened. I suppose this is the case of our imaginations could never imagine some of the starkest truths.
The Arbor (2010)- an independent documentary by Clio Barnard. This was an amazing documentary about the late Great Britain playwrite, Andrea Dunbar, and her family. How life influenced her and her family, good and bad, and presented with a twist. An Estate in the UK is what would be considered the projects here in the USA. Very interesting and very somber, very sad. The actors in the film mouthed the words of actual family members except when Andrea's play was being acted out. Of major interesting note: the play portion was acted out at the Estate in an open field. I thought this film was very well written and kept my interest. It reminded me of the documentary, later film, Grey Gardens only this was about people in hard times from the beginning.
Wendy & Lucy (2008) - an independent film by Kelly Reichardt. This was a slow moving interesting film regarding when does society have an obligation to help people out or should we mind our own business and stay out of the way. This film travels with a young woman and how she is hindered by others and by the choices she makes. She is traveling from Indiana to Alaska and has some tough decisions to make.

Proverbs 26:18-19
Like a madman shooting firebrands or deadly arrows is a man who deceives his neighbor and says, "I was only joking."
---yes, Mr. X would constantly inform me thusly as he's telling our young daughter what a mean mommy I am. It was deadly.
I hope you don't have people who are close to you doing this, its very frustrating as these types of people will never see their own lies. You must discern and make a stand.

Proverbs 26:13-16
The sluggard says, "There is a lion in the road, a fierce lion roaming the streets!" As a door turns on its hinges, so a sluggard turns on his bed. The sluggard buries his hand in the dish; his is too lazy to bring it back to his mouth. The sluggard is wise in his own eyes than seven men who answer discreetly.
---sadly the above verses remind me of my own darling daughter and her infamous father (Mr.X). I cringe and it physically sickens me reading these verses for them as this is exactly how they act and so interesting and tragically sad they are blind to their own actions (or in-actions would be a better word), which do greatly harm others. Its very sad and I cannot stand to hear their excuses, its like scratching nails on a a chalkboard for me.

Like a thornbush in a drunkard's hand is a proverb in the mouth of a fool. Like an archer who wounds at random is he who hires a fool or any passer-by. As a dog returns to its vomit, so a fool repeats his folly. Do you see a man wise in his own eyes? There is more hope for a fool than for him.
--love the dog/vomit verse. All verses a harsh reality and so true.

Proverbs 26:6-8
Like cutting off one's feet or drinking violence is the sending of a message by the hand of a fool. Like a lame man's legs that hang limp is a proverb in the mouth of a fool. Like tying a stone in a sling is the giving of honor to a fool.
Interesting isn't it. That such concentration and encouragement is given to us to avidly avoid being foolish. It's the author's continuous lament to us in this book. And the writer seems to be stating that being foolish is a sin or sinful or certainly one of the worst choices in life that one can make. I whole-heatedly agree. It's too bad that at times I, myself, so easily fall into being a fool. Oh, Lord Your God, give me wisdom and grace to discern this quickly so the pain of being a fool isn't as languishing in my life? Amen and thank you in advance.

I found my own answer to my lament: 1 Timothy 5:24,25 - read on - The sins of some men are obvious, reaching the place of judgement ahead of them; the sins of others trail behind them. In the same way, good deeds are obvious, and even those that are not cannot be hidden.
Proverbs 25:25-27
Like cold water to a weary soul is good news from a distant land. Like a muddied spring or a polluted well is a righteous man who give way to the wicked. It is not good to eat too much honey, nor is it honorable to seek one's own honor.
-I see less and less honor today. Sometimes it seems that the only honor left is your own.
-I wonder how many verses reference honey in them? (just wondering)

Proverbs 25:20-22
Like one who takes away a garment on a cold day, or like vinegar poured on soda, is one who sings songs to a heavy heart. If your enemy is hungry, give him food to eat; if he is thirsty, give him water to drink. In doing this, you will heap burning coals on his head, and the Lord will reward you.
Skip the following unless you want to read my lamenting:
Yesterday's (Oct 17) and today's verses remind me of my neighbors, in that they are "Christian" and yet they are judgmental and negative and make fun of the others in the neighborhood and yet, they are the one's invited to the neighbor's homes for a meal. They are the one's who are thought of so highly. How can this be? Here I am defending the others in a positive way and am ignored and uninvited. I find it ironic that I am tired and weary (both mentally and physically) and these "Christians" do not promote helping their neighbor out at all unless you meet a certain criteria. I am tired and I am weary, Oh Lord Your God, hear my cry. Why am I forsaken? Why do you ignore me? Please send me compassion, kindness, generosity and strength as I have none left and I am just a foolish old woman.

Arizona Sheriff institutes vegetarian meals
I think the rest of the nation should jump on board and start running their facilities economically like this guy. And have them grow their own vegetables again although the private sectors are going to whine about that one as they did previously and that is why they don't do it in Colorado anymore.
I love this guy. He took over their humane society too and runs it at a (not-for-)profit instead of the losses they were sustaining. He also charges the inmates for their meals. I like that. People want to feel sorry for prisoners, but I will tell you, I worked in a medium security facility and they do not feel sorry for you.

to search out a matter is the glory of kings.

so the hearts of kings are unsearchable.

and a silversmith can produce a vessel;
5 remove wicked officials from the king’s presence,
and his throne will be established through righteousness.

30 I went past the field of a sluggard,
past the vineyard of someone who has no sense;
31 thorns had come up everywhere,
the ground was covered with weeds,
and the stone wall was in ruins.
32 I applied my heart to what I observed
and learned a lesson from what I saw:
33 A little sleep, a little slumber,
a little folding of the hands to rest—
34 and poverty will come on you like a thief
and scarcity like an armed man.
and with that we come to the end of Chapter 24.

and learned a lesson from what I saw:
33 A little sleep, a little slumber,
a little folding of the hands to rest—
34 and poverty will come on you like a thief
and scarcity like an armed man.
and with that we come to the end of Chapter 24.

Proverbs in a Year...Oct 8.
Proverbs 24:28-29
28 Do not testify against your neighbor without cause—
would you use your lips to mislead?
29 Do not say, “I’ll do to them as they have done to me;

Proverbs in a Year...Oct 7.
Proverbs 24:27
27 Put your outdoor work in order
and get your fields ready;
after that, build your house.
In my previous study, I starred and underlined key words in the above verse. Can you guess why?
Two additional things for this daily read comes up that I enjoyed: (I provided a link--you are responsible for your own additional study--if you so desire)
1. Jeremiah 9:24
of note Jeremiah was a very reluctant prophet. He wanted to marry and have children and with my understanding and reading did neither and this vexed him greatly.
2. Colossians 3:1-17
for the above chapter in Colossians I have marked verses 2, 5, 8, 9, 11, 12 (with great emphasis on this verse),& 13

Proverbs in a Year...Oct 6.
Proverbs 24:26
26 An honest answer
is like a kiss on the lips.
I have this verse circled. It must mean something to me.
Also for this day (The One Year Bible reading), I really liked Colossians 2:8-23.
I especially liked verses 8, 18, & 20.
Can you guess why?
and here it is in all its glory for you to peruse as well:
8 See to it that no one takes you captive through hollow and deceptive philosophy, which depends on human tradition and the elemental spiritual forces[a] of this world rather than on Christ.
9 For in Christ all the fullness of the Deity lives in bodily form,
10 and in Christ you have been brought to fullness. He is the head over every power and authority.
11 In him you were also circumcised with a circumcision not performed by human hands. Your whole self ruled by the flesh[b] was put off when you were circumcised by[c] Christ,
12 having been buried with him in baptism, in which you were also raised with him through your faith in the working of God, who raised him from the dead.
13 When you were dead in your sins and in the uncircumcision of your flesh, God made you[d] alive with Christ. He forgave us all our sins,
14 having canceled the charge of our legal indebtedness, which stood against us and condemned us; he has taken it away, nailing it to the cross.
15 And having disarmed the powers and authorities, he made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them by the cross.[e]
Freedom From Human Rules
16 Therefore do not let anyone judge you by what you eat or drink, or with regard to a religious festival, a New Moon celebration or a Sabbath day.
17 These are a shadow of the things that were to come; the reality, however, is found in Christ.
18 Do not let anyone who delights in false humility and the worship of angels disqualify you. Such a person also goes into great detail about what they have seen; they are puffed up with idle notions by their unspiritual mind.
19 They have lost connection with the head, from whom the whole body, supported and held together by its ligaments and sinews, grows as God causes it to grow.
20 Since you died with Christ to the elemental spiritual forces of this world, why, as though you still belonged to the world, do you submit to its rules:
21 “Do not handle! Do not taste! Do not touch!”
22 These rules, which have to do with things that are all destined to perish with use, are based on merely human commands and teachings.
23 Such regulations indeed have an appearance of wisdom, with their self-imposed worship, their false humility and their harsh treatment of the body, but they lack any value in restraining sensual indulgence.

Proverbs 24:23-25
Further Sayings of the Wise
23 These also are sayings of the wise:
To show partiality in judging is not good:
24 Whoever says to the guilty, “You are innocent,”
will be cursed by peoples and denounced by nations.
25 But it will go well with those who convict the guilty,
and rich blessing will come on them.

why hast thou forsaken me???
be careful...your answer just might be "why not?"
That's going to be my new answer when people (myself included) ask why?
and of course you should have guessed it...I heard the answer in a movie.
and of course it was for a much more romantic reason (I'm a sap-a romantic one).
Good day.

Proverbs in a Year...Oct 1.
I apologize...I have been extremely sad for awhile.
Let's finish this shall we??
The rest of Proverbs not exactly as intended.---I was hoping for it to be in a more timely manner.
Proverbs 24:13 & 14
Saying 26
13 Eat honey, my son, for it is good;
honey from the comb is sweet to your taste.
14 Know also that wisdom is like honey for you:
If you find it, there is a future hope for you,
and your hope will not be cut off.
I find I am constantly looking for wisdom and it seemingly is always just out of my reach.
Do you feel that way too at times??
