When I'm quiet, here's what I'm chewing..


A compilation of theories from the minds of Jordan and Malorie. (The things we think and then talk about)


1. The smallest living thing on this planet is an atom. It has a dense nucleus with electrons rotating around it in some pattern. This fact is well known and proven. Or is it? The solar system. It has a dense sun with planets rotating around it in some pattern. Our universe. This is the largest structure known to man (well, partially known). It has some kind of dense center with galaxies floating around it. Can you see where I’m going? Recently, scientists discovered a sound wave inside of an electron (the smallest structure known to man). Is it a coincidence that an atom and a universe have the same structure? Since they do, is it possible that an electron is something else’s galaxy? Is our galaxy something else’s electron? Do you believe that our God is ONLY worthy of praise from our small earth? I don’t necessarily think that.


2. We are the only mammals that continue to drink milk past the age of weaning. Other mammals drink their mother’s milk for a period of time, stop, and then start eating adult food. Humans drink their mother’s milk for a period of time, stop, and then start drinking cow’s milk. Is this really good for our breed? If so, why isn’t this an innate practice demonstrated amongst animals? Why don’t dogs start drinking their mother’s milk and then go share with a cat? How is this affecting our nutrition? Does the continuation of drinking SO much concentrated nutrients in one glass over a LIFETIME give us the advantage (the human race is getting taller= physical effects, technology is advancing=mental effects) or it is just a cheap item to throw into a grocery cart?


3. What if this life is a dream (or a different state of awareness)?


4. Stupid people are multiplying. Most people have heard this theory, because it seems to be a hot topic of conversation and one easily explored and understood. For those of you who haven’t, let me explain: I will refer to “smart” people as those who have some kind of education, money, awareness AND consideration of consequence, and some type of knowledge of our economy in its present state. “Stupid” people are those with a combination of little education, little money, little to no consideration of consequence, and little to no knowledge of our economy. Here is the SMART American family: One in which a husband and wife decide on how many kids to have according to how many they desire initially and what they can afford, within God’s plan. Before and after the decision is made, birth control methods are implemented and the family is satisfied. The “stupid” American family is one in which the parents are not married, or maybe they are, but NO thought is put into how many kids, when the kids are conceived, and if they can pay for them or not. But fear not “stupid” ones; we have a democracy! You can claim WeLfArE and every working American will pay FOR YOUR KIDS! Having a family doesn’t mean you have to have money, or to be working, married, or even together. It seems that the “smart” ones should be outnumbered, right? Well, the trend is heading that way. But for now, crime seems to manage the “stupid” population.


5. Blue = red. Most would consider this statement false, but I wouldn’t necessarily say that. Every tangible object, living and non-living, is made of atoms, that make up structures, that make up surfaces. We see surfaces because light bounces off of them and reflects some of that light back to our eyes, depending on its composition, and our mind interprets that light. However, every mind thinks differently. Could it be that when light hits an object and reflects blue back to me, it reflects red back to you? Think about it... because the wavelengths of colors are always consistent, there would never be a discrepency in color, even though we are seeing one object differently. Can this be tested? No, because you can’t see what another mind sees with any type of technology. It’s just a thought.

Happy Birthday, Linds!!



I have a special friendship
That has done me so much good.
I didn't know one person
Could mean this much or would.

She showed me rest in silence
And my identity
Words to my emotions
And spontaneity

Feet grew on my dreams
Of singing on a stage
Of dancing all night long
And breakin' out [of] my cage!

Without her, life is dull.
I get bored easily.
I'm glad we'll be together
In this sweet family!

my kitten


Kitty chews her tail ALL DAY LONG. Is this normal? Someone help me raise this thing!!!

Holistically beautiful


I had a patient today who was holistically beautiful. At the ripe old age of 87 with FLAWLESS black skin and gorgeous white dentures, she smiled more than anyone I've ever met. With braided white hair and bright pink nails at the end of hands that have seen many hardships, she grabbed my heart like she'd never let go.


Her mother died in childbirth with her because there were complications and they could not afford healthcare (and for a split second, I turned into a Democrat). She had a hard childhood, doing farm chores until wee hours of the night and occasionally walking to school when she could. She married at the age of 18, and he was burned to death a year later. She married again 5 years later, and he was killed in a war. So she never re-married or had children, but she was a mother her entire life. With a smile so big it almost hindered her speech, she spoke at length about the white kids, black kids, and Asian kids that romped through the house. She cared for them like it was nobody's buisness-- and one of them, she calls her daughter. Her story forced a tear down my cheek. Lastky, She has been a Christian all of her life and clings to Christ with everything she has.


She was Captivating (READ THE BOOK). She had everlasting joy instead of instant happiness. She had an instant love for people instead of a preconceived notion. She rested in me AND herself; she was not trying to entertain me and she was not insecure about herself. She was present in the moment. Silences were welcomed as moments to dwell on emotions; akwardness did not enter the room.


"Lord, make me beautiful like my patient. Do what it takes to break my heart and get me to this point. Throw out desires for instant happiness, my preconceived notions, insecurites, and assumptions about akwardness, as only You can do. Please give me the "forever joy," GENUINE love for all strangers of all colors, rest, confidence, presence, and the beauty that you gave my patient, as I strive for these things as well. Amen."

My first song, written today! (I like poetry better)

Cling To Me

When wind is strong I often bend
I need you to be firm again
Your faith can overcome my doubt
And clear away my every cloud

[Chorus]
Cling to me.
Don’t let my head get near those clouds.
Yell at me.
Don’t leave any room for doubt.
I need this.
I get carried away by this world.
So hold me.
And ground this floating girl.

Theories, doctrines, cultures, notions
You know where to put emotion
Listen and open your eyes
But then help me to see the lies

Cling to me.
Don’t let my head get near those clouds.
Yell at me.
Don’t leave any room for doubt.
I need this.
I get carried away by this world.
So hold me.
And ground this floating girl.

You shine the Truth into my thoughts
For every lie you warred and fought
My weight, my height, my skin, my hair
There is no more deception there.

You got to me.
You kept my head from those high clouds.
You yelled at me
When you knew I was full of doubt.
I need this.
I get carried away by this world.
So hold me.
And never leave your girl.

I need this.
I get carried away by this world.
So hold me.
And never leave your girl.

Learning to walk... on blogs


WELT. I finally did it! I succomed to the immense amount of peer pressure, pushing and pulling me into the world of technology and blogging... or was that just my inner desire? I think it was the latter. :) I love technology. But not as much as you, you see.
