MARY DID YOU KNOW

MARY DID YOU KNOW
written by Mark Lowery
sung by Kathy Mattea

Mary, did you know that your baby boy
Would someday walk on water?
Mary, did you know that your baby boy
Would save our sons and daughters?
Did you know that your baby boy
Has come to make you new?
This child that you've delivered
Will soon deliver you.

Mary, did you know that your baby boy
Will give sight to a blind man?
Mary, did you know that your baby boy
Will calm a storm with His hand?
Did you know that your baby boy
Has walked where angels trod?
When you kissed your little baby
Then you've kissed the face of God.

Mary Did you know??
Mary, did you know??

The blind will see, the deaf will hear
The dead will live again
The lame will leap, the dumb will speak,
the praises of the Lamb.

Mary, did you know that your baby boy
Is Lord of all creation?
Mary, did you know that your baby boy
Will one day rule the nations?
Did you know that your baby boy
Was Heaven's perfect Lamb?
This sleeping child you're holding
Is the great "I AM".

LADIES HELP MEN LIVE LONGER AND HEALTHIER LIVES PLEASE!!!

I rather enjoyed reading through the article on this study.  There are some points that need to be cleared up, but that might be for another government grant and another study. Cherie brought this article to my attention, I thought Gator and she had finally finished their in-depth study, and this was their findings, but it seems they are still studying/researching. . .

STARE AT BOOBS FOR LONGER LIFE: A STUDY

(Yeah, longer life, sure, try staring when her overly large, in a fit way, boyfriend, brother, husband, fiancee, significant other is around)

From: TheMedGuru by Neharika Sabharwal
Frankfurt, Germany, December 6 -- A rather bizarre study carried out by German researchers suggests that staring at women's breasts is good for men's health and increases their life expectancy.

According to Dr. Karen Weatherby, a gerontologist and author of the study, gawking at women’s breasts is a healthy practice, almost at par with an intense exercise regime, that prolongs the lifespan of a man by five years. (This is going to give a whole new depth of meaning to "exercise buddy".)

She added, "Just 10 minutes of staring at the charms of a well-endowed female, is roughly equivalent to a 30-minute aerobics

work-out."(and thinking of all the time I have wasted over my lifetime hiking, running, gym time, rather depressing)

A five-year research on 200 men
Researchers at three hospitals in Frankfurt, Germany did an in-depth analysis of 200 healthy males over a period of five years. Half the volunteers were instructed to ogle at the breasts of women daily, while the rest were told to refrain from doing so.
(obviously a control group of men who were to "ogle"  other women's breasts only when their wives/girlfriends were with them was not in place for this study)

At the close of the study, the researchers noted that the men who stared at the breasts of females on a regular basis exhibited lower blood pressure. (All the wasted money spent on blood pressure pills, if I had only known.)

(My by-bass was so unnecessary!!)

Sexual desire linked to better blood circulation
The researchers declared that sexual desire gives rise to better blood circulation that signifies an overall improved health.  (So suddenly we went from staring at a woman's breast, one of the most wonderful works of art ever created, to having full blown [no pun intended] sexual desire?  They must have edited out some of the study.)

Weatherby explained the concept stating, "Sexual excitement gets the heart pumping and improves blood circulation. There's no question: Gazing at breasts makes men healthy.  (My bypass was so unnessary!)

(OH OH!! Another study!! Who has the grant forms?  Question: Are short men healthier than tall men?)

"Our study indicates that engaging in this activity a few minutes daily cuts the risk of stroke and heart attack in half. We believe that by doing so consistently, the average man can extend his life four to five years." (I personally think that doing what Dr. Weatherby suggests could lessen a man's life time four to five years, takes a lot of energy out of you to recover from severe beatings.)

In addition, she also recommended that men over 40 should gaze at larger breasts daily for 10 minutes.  (Why men over 40? and why larger breasts? Not everyman likes larger breasts, most men like all breasts!!  Geez, I think I could have done a more scientific study!!)

The German research is believed to be published in the New England Journal of Medicine.  (Believed to be??)

Just not the same healthy feeling is it???

A DREAM --- PRISCILLA AHN

We all should have such dreams and live such full lives. A new artist (to me) I came across when wandering through halls laden with music and tunes. Hope you enjoy her voice as much as I did.

DREAM
written and performed by Priscilla Ahn

I was a little girl alone in my little world who dreamed of a little home for me.
I played pretend between the trees, and fed my houseguests bark and leaves, and laughed in my pretty bed of green.

I had a dream
That I could fly from the highest swing.
I had a dream.

Long walks in the dark through woods grown behind the park, I asked God who I'm supposed to be.
The stars smiled down on me, God answered in silent reverie. I said a prayer and fell asleep.

I had a dream
That I could fly from the highest tree.
I had a dream.

Now I'm old and feeling grey. I don't know what's left to say about this life I'm willing to leave.
I lived it full and I lived it well, there's many tales I've lived to tell. I'm ready now, I'm ready now, I'm ready now to fly from the highest wing.

I had a dream

MY MUSE IS STILL MISSING, BUT I FOUND MY GUARDIAN ANGELS

Yes, sad to report, my muse is still missing, but on the bright side I did find my Guardian Angels,





and that sure does explain a lot that has happened in my life.
                       

  

MYSTERY MEAT ???????

It is no wonder a Sausage company helped sponsor this research. . .we have come a long way from that brown gravy over toast served in school cafeterias, and that strange looking pinkish rectangle in the blue can. . .I just cannot figure what direction we went in. . .

MEAT GROWN IN LABRATORY; A WORLD FIRST
from The Telegraph.co.uk on-line edition, science section; Nov. 29, 2009

Researchers in the Netherlands created what was described as soggy pork and are now investigating ways to improve the muscle tissue in the hope that people will one day want to eat it.

No one has yet tasted their produce, but it is believed the artificial meat could be on sale within five years. 

Vegetarian groups welcomed the news, saying there was “no ethical objection” if meat was not a piece of a dead animal.

Mark Post, professor of physiology at Eindhoven University, told The Sunday Times: “What we have at the moment is rather like wasted muscle tissue. We need to find ways of improving it by training it and stretching it, but we will get there. 

“This product will be good for the environment and will reduce animal suffering. If it feels and tastes like meat, people will buy it.

“You could take the meat from one animal and create the volume of meat previously provided by a million animals.”

The scientists extracted cells from the muscle of a live pig and then put them in a broth of other animal products. The cells then multiplied and created muscle tissue. They believe that it can be turned into something like steak if they can find a way to artificially "exercise" the muscle.

The project is backed by the Dutch government and a sausage maker and comes following the creation of artificial fish fillets from goldfish muscle cells.

Meat produced in a laboratory could reduce greenhouse gas emissions associated with real animals.

Meat and dairy consumption is predicted to double by 2050 and methane from livestock is said to currently produce about 18 per cent of the world’s greenhouse gases.

Animal rights group Peta said: “As far as we’re concerned, if meat is no longer a piece of a dead animal there’s no ethical objection.”

However the Vegetarian Society said: “The big question is how could you guarantee you were eating artificial flesh rather than flesh from an animal that had been slaughtered.

“It would be very difficult to label and identify in a way that people would trust.”

(Did anyone else start thinking of that classic Charlton Heston movie, SOYLENT GREEN as you were reading this??)
