After nearly three hundred years, the Methodists have finally put their "methods" to good use by revealing this shocking revelation:

«I'm not sure if there's any theological significance in this one so I wouldn't take this one too seriously, but it's kind of neat. William Shakespear was a contemporary of the translation of the King James Bible. It seems that he may have autographed his work in Psalm 46. Using a King James version, go to Psalm 46 and count 46 words from the beginning and you'll find the word "Shake". If you go to the end of Psalm 46 and count 46 words back you'll find the word "Spear". Put them together and you'll get "Shakespear". It is believed that Shakespear was 46 when the King James Version of the bible was written

PSALM 46 (King James Version):

"God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore will not we fear, though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea; Though the waters thereof roar and be troubled, though the mountains shake with the swelling thereof. Selah. There is a river, the streams whereof shall make glad the city of God, the holy place of the tabernacles of the most High. God is in the midst of her; she shall not be moved: God shall help her, and that right early. The heathen raged, the kingdoms were moved: he uttered his voice, the earth melted. The Lord of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah. Come, behold the works of the Lord, what desolations he hath made in the earth. He maketh wars to cease unto the end of the earth; he breaketh the bow, and cutteth the spear in sunder; he burneth the chariot in the fire. Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth. The Lord of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge."» ([link])

Clearly we have a lot learn as members of the Abrahamic faiths. William the English Prophet is far too neglected, and I believe a revival is in order. We need to bring Prophet William and other obscure exemplars of literary righteousness to the forefront of Christian minds. Too many good American and Anglican prophets have gone unknown. Perhaps, it is this lack of positive role models that has led to the widespread moral, literary, and intellectual decay of Human society. I am inclined to think just so.

Let us ask for intercession,
after the manner of the His Holiness Gordon Brown:

«O William, saint of Heaven,
prophet-poet of my Anglican brethen,
give heed to our call,
and pray for our souls,
and for the souls of all Anglicans and Americans,
and for our blessed Queen Elizabeth,
and may the colonies relinquish
their bonds of rebellion,
even the very zealots of Liberty,
who breathe anarchy,
and may heaven devour the sinners of Rome,
who cast away the new collections,
born of holy Anglican tongues,
in favour of ancient works.
May fire singe their blackened hearts
and may the Satan among them,
that foolish Dante, perish.
For traditions are not their true downfall,
nor stubbornness, nor corruption.
They die for their rejection of Pope
and Poe, and for thinking Italians can write
works of art. Amen»

Study! Must...study! Test...9 am...not prepared...fourth of July...family visits...distraction...FAIL!!!

In other news, I just signed my lease! I know where I'm living in Fall! That's on chore done with!

Also, apparently I'm going in vacation on Aug. 9 - 17th (?)...to JAM. I suppose that's good: vacation. It'd be fun (maybe). Part of me just wants to sleep for vacation though. lol. Laziness.

[I'm gonna have to build a cannon to shoot someone during that time though...I just need a couple tons of cast iron, and I'm all good. ]

Ah, well, wish me well on my exam. (i.e. Intercede like a mad man (or woman)! I need it. You have no idea... )

In the Name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost. Amen.

Holy God, Holy and Mighty, Holy and Immortal, have mercy on us.
Holy God, Holy and Mighty, Holy and Immortal, have mercy on us.
Holy God, Holy and Mighty, Holy and Immortal, have mercy on us.

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit. As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.

I believe in God, the Father almighty, creator of heaven and earth. I believe in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord. He was conceived by the power of the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary. He suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried. He descended into hell. On the third day he rose again. He ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again to judge the living and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic Church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting. Amen.

Psalm 40:2-18, Isaiah 63:7. Amen.

Now thou dost dismiss thy servant, O Lord, according to thy word in peace; Because my eyes have seen thy salvation, Which thou hast prepared before the face of all peoples: A light to the revelation of the Gentiles, and the glory of thy people Israel. Amen

Our Father, Who art in Heaven, hallowed be Thy Name. Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth, as it is in Heaven. Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.

Wisdom 9. Amen.

Blessed be the LORD, who has heard the sound of my pleading. The LORD is my strength and my shield, in whom my heart trusted and found help. So my heart rejoices; with my song I praise my God.

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit. As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.

We fly to thy patronage, O holy Mother of God; despise not our petitions in our necessities, but from all dangers deliver us always, O glorious and blessed Virgin. Amen.

(The prayer has nothing to do with the post, in case you're wondering. I just felt like putting it there. lol. But, if you really wanna, you could say it before ya' sleep: give it a real reason for being here. I'm sure it'd thank you! )

Happy Independence Day!

A.K.A. British Failure Day!

Foolish redcoats!

Just kidding! I have nothing against you Britons; I just couldn't help it.

Besides, my family wasn't here in 1776, and only escaped British rule 45 1/2 years ago. (Though the Queen was technically our monarch up until the Eighties. )

Anyways...Happy Fourth!

*Goes back to his beloved American custom of inhaling tea and biscuit. (Real biscuits...not those rolls that people keep calling biscuits. I don't get it. ) *

*Wants fireworks...NOW!!! *

*And I miss history class. *

All that you have to do is leave a comment, and, if I'm watching you, I'll:

a) tell you why I friended you,
b) associate you with something (fandom, song, colour, photo, etc.),
c) tell you something I like about you,
d) tell you a memory I have of you,
e) ask something I've always wanted to know about you,
f) and tell you my favorite deviation of yours.

In return, you must post this in your journal.



P.S. - I couldn't help it...I had to make it grammatically correct! LOL XD

I was planning to make this day so productive. I have A LOT of work to do and I was going to do most of it today. I even went to sleep at 10:30pm last night! Anyone who knows me will attest to how amazing that is. I was going to get up at 6:30, but I ended up oversleeping till 8:30-ish. Still early, but no work is done! Instead, I've been sitting here feeling down all day. Now I'm even tired, after having slept ten hours! Wtf is that?! On top of all that, I am bored as hell, and my mind started to miss my good friends about a half-hour ago, making me even MORE down. As if feeling down and having mountains of schoolwork wasn't enough, I have to be tired, bored, and lonely as well! This is by far the worst school year I have ever had. The fact that it came right after the two best ones I've ever had doesn't help either.
