I sure feel safer now...

This is from today's DominicanToday (an online update of various items in Dominican news)


SANTO DOMINGO.- The Assembly to Reform the Constitution approved several articles on the environment and natural resources....

Article 56 states that the introduction, development, production, possession, marketing, transport, storage and use of chemical, biological and nuclear weapons into the national territory is prohibited, as well as the introduction of toxic, nuclear, chemical and dangerous residues and waste.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Which leaves me with only two thoughts:

1) These things weren't prohibited before?

2) I feel so much safer knowing that this article has been approved for the new Constitution here ~~(she said with a slightly sarcastic chuckle). I am so glad that I have put my faith in 'His oath, His covenant, His blood" ~~NOT in the proposed articles of man.

My hope is built on nothing less

Than Jesus’ blood and righteousness.

I dare not trust the sweetest frame,

But wholly trust in Jesus’ Name.

Refrain
On Christ the solid Rock I stand,

All other ground is sinking sand;

All other ground is sinking sand.

When darkness seems to hide His face,

I rest on His unchanging grace.

In every high and stormy gale,

My anchor holds within the veil.
Refrain

His oath, His covenant, His blood,

Support me in the whelming flood.

When all around my soul gives way,

He then is all my Hope and Stay.
Refrain

When He shall come with trumpet sound,

Oh may I then in Him be found.

Dressed in His righteousness alone,

Faultless to stand before the throne.
Refrain

Where is your hope?

Really? People do this sort of thing???

I know it's been quite a while since I posted on my blog. I joined facebook at the encouragement of my daughter, and that just seems so much quicker to update. But on the remote possibility that someone is still actually reading this blog, I will try to do a bit better. I will try.....

There are a couple of TV channels here that have cooking and decorating programs, but they've always been in Spanish. I would watch but it annoys me when the mouth on the person speaking does not match up to the words being spoken. Well, recently they've started broadcasting some new shows in English with Spanish subtitles.

Tonight I watched a decorating program that had my attention at first as they were buying used items to redo for a person's home. So, that was fine.

But then a second program came on.
This program was some sort of designer to the stars.
The designer was a wacko-woman. It's one of those programs that the person is so unreal, that you keep watching just to verify that they are really that wacky. (Crazy on my part too, I know)

This designer expects ALL of her employees to work 70-80 hours a week. and even asked one prospective employee if she really required a lunch break. (So much for labor laws!)

Then near the end of the program it was showing the designer in her apartment in the evening. She has a large dog...sort of reminded me of a dalmation but broader chested.

This dog's dinner each night is organic minced liver, with freshly shredded carrot and cooked brown rice. For the program the designer was making his meal, but she let it be known that her housekeeper has been given the instructions for making it, also. It's made fresh daily!

Then she went on to say that she had a dog previously that she loved so much that when it died she had it cremated and now keeps its remains in a box on the nightstand next to her bed! (ew!)

But every night when she makes her dog's dinner she puts just a pinch of the cremated remains of her first dog in the food! Just a pinch cuz it makes her feel like her first dog is still living and a part of her and her new dog's life. Actually, I was telling the tv that if she examined her dogs droppings, she might find the 'ash' remains of her first dog but she didn't hear me!

Then it showed her placing the dog's food in a ceramic bowl and feeding the dog. YES she fed the dog. It does NOT eat from the bowl. She spoon feeds this dog every night!


Her favorite statement? "I know I'm crazy. I know I'm just so crazy"

No debate on that one!
