Ok so basically, one of the best cartoon movies of all time, Brave Little Toaster, is full of awesomeness. I grew up on this movie and even though there was this guy that scared the POO outta me.
Anyways, this movie is deep. What do I mean? I mean it's literally saturated with gospel messages. We'll start from the beginning of the movie.
The plot of the movie is that of some house hold appliances whose master left now they are waiting for his return. They don't know when he'll return so they make sure the house is always spotless.
Well we already have something right there. The appliances obviously represent the faithful who are waiting for the Master's return. Among the appliances is one, Air Conditioner, who doesn't believe that the master will return.
He blows a fuse or something and is "broken" until the Master comes back and fixes him up showing that no matter how messed up, if we let the Master into our lives, his hands can fix us. Want more Brave Little Toaster spiritual messages? Come back for some more.
Ok, so this door chain, ROCKS! I was looking stuff up on google, and Cami reaches over, deletes my search and enters, "Tricky Doors" This came up. Yeah, I know, my wife is awesome. Now, to find one more complicated.
Please if you do happen to find any more like this, post it in the comments.
Ok, so in my Old Testament class we went over the whole book of Deuteronomy. In this class we the students guide the discussion. Before each class period we spend 30 minutes in the assigned reading. Our teacher doesn't care if we read only one verse, or all the verses twice, as long as we spend 30 minutes in the assigned reading. He then assigns four students to prepare a question or a topic to discuss in class. This means an awesome class as I can get more out of my homework due to the fact that I'm not rushing through chapters.
Anyways, so we get through the topics the students wanted to discuss pretty fast and so he turns our attention to Deuteronomy 7:3-4. So he has us read verse 3. Ok so don't marry outside the church. Then he tells us to read verse 4 very carefully. "For they will turn away thy son from following me, that they may serve other gods:"
Alright so in verse three he says, don't give your daughters to people outside the covenant, nor take their daughters and give them to your son. In verse four though, notice something is missing. He specifically says that they will turn away thy son. Basically Moses is saying, "Look don't let your daughters marry their sons or your sons marry their daughters because if you do, we're going to lose all the sons."
My teacher went on to tell us how he did a little research in his ward when he was bishop. He said that out of 117 married couples in the ward, 30 were married to non-members. 12 were women. Of the twelve women, 4 were active. Out of the 18 men, guess how many were active. Yeah, you're right a big whopping zero. So he decided to get the numbers for the stake. Out of 888 married couples 168 were married to non-members. Of those 90 were female. Of the ninety, 20 were active. Of the 78 males, guess how many were active, that's right zero. So my teacher called up Salt Lake and shared his experience and asked them a few questions. He found out that in general, 20% of women that marry non-members stay active. That means that 80% of all women that marry non-members fall away. Of the men only 1% stay active.
I must repeat Moses's words. Parents, don't let your kids marry outside the church because you'll lose most your daughters, but you'll lose all your sons.
Ok so I don't really like hot tang...but look at this website. It has a nice list of Tang flavors (most can't be found in the USA sorry fellas) But just check out what you're missing. If they had all these flavors up here, good BYE kool-aid! Here's the site.
Please note I have tried almost half of these flavors on this list and Cashew is one of my favorites along with strawberry and passion fruit. Although REAL passion fruit juice is SO amazing. It really helps me calm down and focus. Anyways, just check out the flavors and BE jealous.
OK, so what the freak, why does Jacob's blog have a blog titled, "My Little Pony?" Well simply because of this article. Yeah, My Little Pony made front page news in the Wall Street Journal.
Anyways, I digress. My Little Pony is a toy for little girls and I'm sure almost all people of the female race and men who have had sisters know of these toys. What I didn't know was that there was a cartoon for it in the 80's, nor did I know that they were making a new cartoon for it until Cami's friends posted a picture on her Facebook wall tagging each pony as a member of her group of friends. So they told Cami to watch the show because one of the ponies depicted her very well. So one night as we were lying in bed Cami turns to me and says, "I wanna watch My Little Pony."
"OK..."
"My friends said I'm one of the ponies and told me to watch it and I don't want to watch it by myself."
Anyways, I failed in my husbandly duties and laid next to her and watched it out of the corner of my eye. I know I failed and feel horrible about it. But that's not the point of the story. The first episode was to be continued so Cami watched the next episode. Once again my "manliness" got in the way and I didn't really give it my full attention. Cami liked it though and a few days later I reflected upon it and said to myself, "You know I don't know if it was all that bad."
So days later I'm bored out of my head because my lovely wife is off at work. I break down and watch episode three. My thoughts afterwards, Wow, it's not that bad at all. So a few days later Cami wants to watch it. So I sit down and re-watch episode three. Afterwards she tells me she wants to watch another one she liked it so much, so we did. By that time I liked the show. After the fifth and sixth episode I was hooked. I can't explain why I like the show. Perhaps it's the innocence of it all. Perhaps it's the story line. Maybe it's because I'm a sucker for cute little animals like bunnies, kitties, puppies, especially my little outlaw dog that I miss so dearly, and other cute little animals. Whatever the reason is, I like it and have been able to convince my old roommate, Daniel to watch it too. He was hooked by episode one. One last thing, men who wear pink are the ones who have nothing to fear about their sexuality and I must say the same thing for My Little Pony.
So pony up and take my challenge. Watch the first 5 episodes and see if you don't like it. If you don't, no skin off my bones. If you do, well then welcome to the herd! Video is included here at the bottom.
(Note:) It may be hard to watch it here on my blog, so just in case there is a link at the bottom of the blog
