Eternal LIfe

So I watched the Alias finale last night. Overall it was rather disappointing. The only thing I really liked about the show was the ending with Sydney and Vaughn on the beach. However, I thought it was interesting that one of the culmination of the of the major plot lines of the last 5 years was Sloane's (bad guy) quest for eternal life. He spent his whole life, millions of dollars, and countless lives solving a puzzle that in the end made him immortal. Unfortunately for him (good for the rest of the world) he got to spend eternity under a pile of concrete all alone. But it got me thinking, it's amazing what people will do, and have done in real history, in hopes of enternal life. And even more amazing to think that eternal life can be ours if we want it, we just have to accept the gift.

Zodiac Signs

So my co-workers and I got into an interesting conversation one the way back from lunch today. Keep in mind that most of them are Christians. They started talking about people's signs (Like Leo, Picses) and saying that they thought there was some truth to the characteristics. Like there is some evidence that the tide pool and the first impression you get of the world around you when you are born, affects your personality. I have always thought that it was a bunch of crap. I think birth order, environment, choices, genes, and experiences can shape your personality. But the month you were born in? Seriously?

Does anyone have an opinion on this? Is there any scientific proof that people born in the same month do in fact share some common characteristics?

Congratulations Amanda!

Believe

It's easy to praise you
When all the blessings flow
It's easy to trust you
When I feel in control

But in valleys and in darkness
I seem to lose my way
I stumble and I falter
And I don't know what to pray

Lord I believe, but I think I'm falling
And I'm not sure I can see
Lord I believe, but I feel I'm losing
Lord I believe, please help my unbelief

I know that you have plans for me
And I know that they are good
And if I could erase my fears
Lord, you know I would

But tonight it seems I'm failing
And giving into rain
So Father please restore me
And grant me peace again

Lord I believe, but the way is cloudy
And I'm not sure I can see
So please guide these faltering footsteps
And help me to believe
