So I have a .com for my blingity-blog, what fun. It’ll take a few days for me to square-away all the new information I’ll need to dial, so be patient with the look/feel please. So far I understand a fraction of what’s necessary to get this really blingity.

Thanks, and welcome to nemafe.com

So much to learn, so little time…

So I was doing my usual ritual of reading blogs here and there, and after catching up with Dan Phillips latest on Pyromaniacs I figured I’d check out what the Pyro team considers “Stellar” among the blogs they link to on their blogroll. THIS ONE is amazing.

The title of this post refers to the fact that I’d rather spend my days at the feet of such teachers as these, rather than do the duties my responsibilities entail with work/family/etc. There is so much we take for granted in our lives it’s amazing. God is there for you, and has done an amazing work on the cross to redeem you from the sin that stains all of us from birth. Beyond that He calls us to get to know Him, and to do so by spending time with Him in prayer, reading the Bible and learning more about what instruction it gives us to live by. (Basic Instruction Before Leaving Earth is one acronym I heard for the Word decades ago) With the blessing of the “internets” the doors are blown off all the offices of pastors and lay-pastors around the world. In the weblogs you can find teachings that will sharpen intellect and bolster faith, as well as interesting developments amongst the different perspectives that post their outlook. (Of course I’ve provided examples of some I peruse regularly If you click on and follow the underlined blue words found in this post).

Any comments are welcome, I’d love to read what you’ve been blessed by on the ‘nets.

I’ve got to apologize to all of you (however few) for my lack of posting. I’ve been working, working, working, and have done more stumbling than posting when I get done with work-related internet use. This Site is one of my favorites, and today’s post by Dan is painfully familiar. I hope to raise my Asher-kins like his kids, and get over my own idiomanumoragorophobia.

Great Quote… “episode one”

Add comment July 5th, 2006

From time to time as a “schooled” filmgoer I’m enchanted by the lines dreamt-up by those who penned them, and then how they are delivered by the character. Depending on the film, it’s genre, and the type of audience they’re aiming for, character-development can mean everything to the impact of the written word spoken. Not to say the actor’s “skilz” don’t matter, as I’ve seen decent actors get hammered by a bad movie, and the opposite (Streep) as well where the actor did well with what he had been given to memorize “act“. That being said the script is everything, and bonus points go to actors who can ad-lib the changes necessary (in their minds) to better suit the scene/character.
With all that said, it brings me to today’s quote. I found Wikiquote today and thought, hmmm… “do they have Ms. Wilson in there from Gosford Park?” They didn’t then, but they do now as I’ve entered it for the rest of the wiki gawkers to admire. Gosford Park is one of many films I’ve bought as a result of enjoying it so much. To understand the full impact of these words as uttered by Ms. Wilson (played magnificently by Helen Mirren As I know you’ve got a Netflix account you never use, here it is at NETFLIX for you to queue as you really should see the flickie. Anyhoot, here’s the verbage:

"What gift do you think a good servant has
that separates them from the others?
It's the gift of anticipation.
And I'm a good servant.
I'm better than good.
I'm the best.
I'm the perfect servant.
I know when they'll be hungry and the food is ready.
I know when they'll be tired and the bed is turned down.
I know it before they know it themselves."
-Ms. Wilson
