Looking for Answers
By Leon Suprenant | August 27, 2007
My algebra textbook in ninth grade had an answer key in the back that enabled me to check my answers upon completing my homework assignment. Most of the time, the answer key simply served to verify that in fact I had arrived at the correct answer.
Sometimes, however, the answer given in the book was different from my answer. What would I do then? Read the rest of this entry >>

Solo Saxophone
The Last Night Of The World Lyrics From Miss Saigon
When I hear this song, I think of a special person. Why do I make things so complicated? Oh for just one night together with a solo saxophone...
In a place that won't let us feel
In a life where nothing seems real
I have found you
I have found you
In a world that's moving too fast
In a world where nothing can last
I will hold you
I will hold you
Our lives will change when tomorrow comes
Tonight our hearts drown the distant drums
and we have music all right
tearing the night
A song
played on a solo saxophone
A crazy sound, a lonely sound
A cry that tells us love goes on and on
played on a solo saxophone
It's telling me
to hold you tight
and dance like it's the last night of the world
On the other side of the earth
There's a place where life still has worth
I will take you
I'll go with you
You won't believe all the things you'll see
I know 'cause you'll see them all with me
If we're together that's when
we'll hear it again
A song
played on a solo saxophone
A crazy sound, a lonely sound
A cry that tells us love goes on and on
Played on a solo saxophone
It's telling me
to hold you tight
and dance like it's the last night of the world
Dreams
they were all I ever knew
Dreams
you won't need when I'm through
Anywhere
we may be
I will sing with you
a song...
A song played on a solo saxophone
So stay with me
and hold me tight
and dance
like it's the last night of the world
When I hear this song, I think of a special person. Why do I make things so complicated? Oh for just one night together with a solo saxophone...

Friends!
I have so much I want to say today, doubt I will get to all of it; however, I may address things by the end of next week! However, first I want to talk about friends.
This week Aug 20th -24th is "National Friendship week" according to my employer. They want everyone to write a little something about a friendship made during employment with them. At first I was stuck; however, then I remembered my good friend Justin Dixon and how much he has given to me. This is what I wrote.
Thank-you very much Dixon! Also a special thanks to my friends John and Katie Russell. They help in supporting me every day in so may ways. My life would be so different w/o them.
This in no way lessens the support I have rcv'd from other friends as well! Some of them include: David Love, Justin Gray, and Seth Livingston. The list just goes on forever! Thank-you all.

Here at Lockheed martin I have made several work friends. However, I made one friend who stands above the rest, Justin Dixon. He has helped me find find my way to the Catholic Church, challenged me to be the best I could be, and introduced me to some close friends of his. Now some of those people are now my roommates, very close personal friends, and support. though I was not top pick for a party, he was able to change the course of my entire life. Without him I would not have my friends,hope, or my faith!
Thank-you very much Dixon! Also a special thanks to my friends John and Katie Russell. They help in supporting me every day in so may ways. My life would be so different w/o them.

WAR
Here is a quote for today....
...
From Leon Suprenant of Catholics United for the Faith.
However, in the case of our perennial conflict with the forces of evil, there should be no doubt as to the justice and necessity of waging full-scale spiritual war. The Enemy has invaded our souls, our families, and our country, and we need the courage and steadfast resolve to give no ground to his advances. When it comes to salvation, pacifism is a losing proposition. Unless we proactively fight against sin, we’ll be swept aside.
...
While protecting ourselves and our country from physical harm is very important, Our Lord tells us to take even further precautions against those forces that can harm the soul (see Mt. 10:28).
In that light, what is our approach to the spiritual terrorism of our culture—especially as represented by the entertainment, fashion, and advertising industries? What sort of “homeland security” do we have in place to protect ourselves? Is it too much of a hassle or inconvenience to swim upstream? Do we have the resolve to wage spiritual war against the intrusive, intolerant secularism that surrounds us?

My mind...
In the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Dearest God, strengthen me. Guide me. Love me. Help me to do as you want me to. I pray that you will take the kingdom of my life out of my hands and take it over. Help me to over come all hardships put in my way. In the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
BTW the wonderful picture is one of John Russell's. His wonderful wife Katie's work is also there!
Sorry for the pointless post. If you do not want to see personal information stop reading and wait till the next, non-personal post...
Life has been strange for the last month or so. My mind is tending to think of people that really have no reason to be in my mind. I neglect things I am to do. I hold to a love that falls short of my needs. But all of the things I know are wrong, I fail to fix. I miss a person who I don't know and has never been in my life. It all does not matter because no matter how I want my life to change, I will not break-up with the non-Catholic that wishes to hold me in place of God. Who demands more out of me than I can give. But because he is so sweet and loving, I do not want to hurt him. One may ask if I am "in love"? I do not know the answer to this. I do not have a clue on what this means. I care deeply about him, I love him, I want the best for him, I want to see him happy. Does it go deeper? I do not know. Will I fix it... nope. I do not break-up with people. I try to convince them to break up with me. I have spoken too much of my self... Just know to my loving boyfriend, I love you... But then again, you may never read this...

Questions!!!!
I was listening to Dr. Scott Hahn's "The Lambs Supper" Lighthouse Catholic Media and I started thinking... I know that is bad. But I was starting to wonder what people did think of when Christ said "It is Finished". I always assumed he meant his physical life because just after that he physically died. When I was older I never thought about it. I will not say what was said in this talk, but I want to know what your thoughts are.
Also, why do you believe Jesus told us to celebrate "The Lord's Supper" or the Holy Eucharist?
This will be the start of a line of thought process brought on by this talk :) I hope you will help me to learn all I can from this.

Pray for Germany!
Here is an entry by our friend at The Cafeteria is Closed. There is somthing so very wrong with this!!!
German family secretary steps in
The German familiy secretary pulled the incest brochures in print and download form. But, it's been around for years, back when the Socialists ran the government, and a new edition is apparently still planned. It's still to be found in countless kindergartens and pediatricians' offices. Not to mention the parents who have it. As a reminder - the brochure encouraged, for example, fathers to rub the clitoris of their baby daughters, and stated that it's normal that a father can get aroused by the touching of a baby or toddler. It also encouraged parents to show children how to have sex and masturbate. The booklet actually lamented, "Vagina and especially clitoris are barely paid attention to by tender touch (neither by father nor mother) and therefore make it hard for girls to develop pride in her sex organs." It further says that one shouldn't stop girls from masturbating with various items it comes across. And, fathers should come up with a pet name for the clitoris of their daughters. It basically says that the parents must not get aroused by touching their children (how nice!) but that the parents stimulating the babies/toddlers is ok. The goal was to take away the taboo from early childhood sexualization.
The person in charge at the federal agency that produced the booklets said, "All of this is based on science. Of the educators we interviewed, 93% considered it helpful." He added that an updated version was in the works but that he saw no reason to change the content.
Meanwhile, a mother has filed charges against the federal agency, charging it with calling for sexual abuse of children.
The author of these booklets is a middle-aged German woman by the name of Ina-Maria Philipps. She also encourages uncles, aunts, grandparents and babysitters to pleasure the children. She wants a "condom license" for 9 year olds, where they learn how to pull one over a banana. Homosexual education is also part of the program (public schools). By the way: She works for the Evangelical (not the same as "evangelical" in the USA) church. Has since 1990. As a family and sex therapist. Along Freudian lines, she doesn't differentiate between sexuality and sensuality, she thinks that a hug is the same for a toddler as playing with its penis/vagina and therefore one should play with it. While a toddler doesn't know what sex is, an adult does know the difference between hugging someone and having sex with someone. How on earth is a child supposed to know the difference between "good touching" and "bad touching" if the parents molest it ??
Here more by this woman
Children need tender touch starting at their birth and love direct bodily contact, especially skin-to-skin. They are approachable in many sensual ways and capable of pleasure. It's been shown that children experience pleasure and that they indicate that they enjoy being petted. In this context, the genitalia, which are very sensitive, play a prominent roles. When children grow up in a home where permission to self discovery without limitations to certain regions is given and all parts of the body become a name, "processes" are described lustfully and a sympathetic climate exists within the family, it can happen that children talk with great excitement in kindergarten about kissing, rubbing, slip-sliding and squeaking. They may even talk about their father's "big dick" that they saw when they bathed together. More than once such descriptions have caused an educator to suspect child abuse.
Really ? I wonder why. Sick.
In context with my article on German theater/opera, this isn't surprising.
Sex ed in Germany...
Well, not enough that Germans barely have children, the German government wants you to molest them. From LifeSiteNews(H/T to Trish)
Booklets from a subsidiary of the German government's Ministry for Family Affairs encourage parents to sexually massage their children as young as 1 to 3 years of age. Two 40-page booklets entitled "Love, Body and Playing Doctor" by the German Federal Health Education Center (Bundeszentrale für gesundheitliche Aufklärung - BZgA) are aimed at parents - the first addressing children from 1-3 and the other children from 4-6 years of age.
"Fathers do not devote enough attention to the clitoris and vagina of their daughters. Their caresses too seldom pertain to these regions, while this is the only way the girls can develop a sense of pride in their sex," reads the booklet regarding 1-3 year olds. The authors rationalize, "The child touches all parts of their father's body, sometimes arousing him. The father should do the same."
...
The pamphlet advises parents to permit young children "unlimited masturbation" except where physical injury becomes apparent. It advises: "Children should learn that there is no such thing as shameful parts of the body. The body is a home, which you should be proud of." For ages 4-6, the booklet recommends teaching children the movements of copulation.
Another product of the BZgA is a song book aimed at children of four and slightly older which includes several songs espousing masturbation. The song-book entitled "Nose, belly and bum" includes one song with the following lyrics: "When I touch my body, I discover what I have. I have a vagina, because I am a girl. Vagina is not only for peeing. When I touch it, I feel a pleasant tingle."
...
According to the Polish daily newspaper Rzeczpospolita, the BZgA booklet is an obligatory read in nine German regions. It is used for training nursery, kindergarten and elementary school teachers. Ironically it is recommended by many organizations officially fighting pedophilia, such as the German Kunderschutzbund. BZgA sends out millions of copies of the booklet every year.
...
Rzeczpospolita reports that the Eckhardt Scheffer of BZgA claimed that before releasing the manual the organization consulted parents, educators and child psychologists. 93% of whom gave a positive evaluation.
Even for a Western nation, Germany's billboards and television ads push the limits of public pornography. Last year LifeSiteNews.com reported that a very popular teen magazine in Germany publishes nude photos of teens in sexual positions which would be in almost any other nation illegal child pornography.
Well, when you, as an adult, can legally have sex with a 14 year old it's not surprising that parents are supposed to "stimulate" their own children.
