My Little Christ Like Elements P. 3 (Kindness)

"Hey, does it smell funny in here to you? MMFFhrrg!" *thunk*
-Elder Lopez, on the subject of the odor of Chloroform

We meet again! I told you I'd be back! "Uh oh. Where's Elder Lopez? I'm I going to have to go climb a watertower?" Of course not! Do you really think I'd lock him in the same place twice? Although it surprises me to know that you'd go rescue him. "Well...I was just concerned for him, that's all..." Sure. Suuuuuuure. (imagine that in a sarcastic tone.) Don't worry, I just used chloroform this time, since it's his birthday week.

Warning: Do not view image if
you have a weak heart. Spontaneous
melting may occur. Use with caution.
So can you guess what we're going to talk about this time? "Ponies?" Eeyup! But which one? I'll give you a hint: She's been known to use weaponized adorableness to devastating effect. "Umm, the pink one?" No no no, that was the last one! We're talking about Fluttershy here! I mean look at that! Doesn't that just melt your heart??

"I see your point. Wait a minute, she is pink!" No, she's yellow. "She has pink hair!" Irrelevant. 

And do you know which Element of Harmony Fluttershy holds? "...friendship? Cuteness??" No, it's Kindness! Look at the blog title! "Alright, I'm done with these guessing games!" 

Okay, I'm sorry. I'm not demonstrating the element of Kindness very well. "Fluttershy would be very disappointed in you!" You're right! She would never act this way. The reason she possesses this particular element is because of her unconditional love toward everyone and everything! She never gets mad at anyone. She's kind, patient, selfless, and goes out of her way to help others. She once flew a cartload of frogs from one swamp to another just because they needed some space from their neighbors. "That's nice, I guess, even if it is a bit strange..." And because she's kind, she is happy, hopeful, and strong. That sounds like a scripture I know...

"I see where this is going. Jesus was kind to everyone he met. He helped and healed others without thinking of himself and he even died so others could live." Exactly! It all boils down to Love!

In fact, one might say that Love is the greatest of the Christlike Attributes. In Matthew 32, a lawyer questioned Jesus, asking which was the greatest commandment, to which Jesus responded:

"Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets."

Looks cool, but not a good role model.
Why is love the first and great commandment? If we truly love God, we will keep his commandments! And secondly, if we love others like we love ourselves, we will have no desire to sin against them either! If everyone really loved each other, there would be no theft, no murder, no jealousy, no pride, no nothing! "Isn't that a double negative?" Yes. But the point I'm trying to make is this: what the world needs now is love. It's cliche, but it's true! So do your part. Love your neighbor, serve your friend, pray for your enemy. Be kind! "Rewind?" Never seen it, sorry.

In conclusion, be nice like Fluttershy, not like Nightmare Moon over there. She's pretty much the exact opposite of Fluttershy. "Are you sure those two pictures are from the same show?" Eeyup, believe it!

Well reader, it's been fun! But once again, Elder Lopez is stirring, and my time is up! Perhaps next time I'll be able to post on here through diplomatic means. But that wouldn't be as fun, would it? 'Till we meet again! Excelsior!

'Telling the Truth' by Lesego Mholo

I'd rather be hurt by you telling me the truth than lies. Keep deceiving people and think they don't know. One day it will catch up with you. The truth hurts when its contrary to what your made to believe.  In one way or another lies always catch up with us, our consciousness doesn't let us lie for too long. Lying affects trust and loyalty in a relationship when your lied to you feel like you no longer belong you feel inadequate, telling the truth solidifies a relationship bond, and it might signify love or care; furthermore, telling the truth to me it tells that your emotionally mature. The truth makes me feel secure. Sometimes we give our hearts to people, and they think we are stupid for that we end up depending on them for loyalty. Truth is the only way two people can survive in a relationship and mutual understanding but reassurance and trust are the only things that might keep the relationship functioning. Dishonesty is the beginning of a fading relationship and...

“Let Go Off That Branch”

Once upon a time there was a man sitting on the top of a mountain, enjoying the gentle spring breeze and the beautiful scenery, including the tree and the rock that was behind him. Suddenly a strong gust of wind blew him off the mountain, and while falling he saw a branch sticking out so he grabbed it. Hanging off the side of the mountain like cliff hanger the man naturally began to pray, asking for God’s help and hears a voice that asks “Do you believe that I created that tree on the mountain?”. The man replies “yes I do, but I really need some help”. The voice then asks, “Do you believe that I created that rock on the mountain?” The man replies a little faster “Yes, I do now please! Help me!”. The voice then asks “Do you believe that I created the wind that blew you off the mountain?”. The man replies a little slower this time “……yes I do”, then the voice asks,” Do you believe that I can create another wind that will blow you right back up unto the mountain?”. The man replies, “Y...

Laptop Review

I dedicate this to Trevor Hicken, my brother, who I hope will be writing for you soon. He is a technology wizard. A3 Ultra-slim 14.0" LCD Screen 1366x768 Windows 7 Intel D2500 + NM10 Dual Core 1.86GHz 1GB RAM Laptop Computer with Wi-Fi (160GB HD) (Silver) From Focalprice A Completely Lousy Chinese Product I bought this laptop for my brother, expecting that it would run according to it's specs, but it didn't. The version of Windows 7 was many years old, making it very slow. It would have taken forever for my brother to update it, so he put Linux on it. When he did that, he found that the laptop would not hold the operating systems. He would have to install the software over and over. He found an operating system that seems to be holding, which works okay; however, the battery only lasts about 40 minutes now, since he accidentally let it die. It is basically a laptop from the nineties.
