I just read our esteemed CM's Attaboy post in his journal post from March 9. All Mono members should take a peek.
I have to admit, I got kinda teary-eyed. He's so right (par usual). The coven grew leaps and bounds..although not in rankings..hahaha. But the belief when we built Mono has really stayed steady. Our members are active and WANT to be there! Of the 65 current members, I can honestly say that I speak with more than half of them on IM and most of them in the forum. Anyone who peeks in and checks out our member list can see how active most people are inside the coven...not just on VR.
It's amazing to me that a simple idea: culling the incompetent...has brought together such a diverse group of people and kept them together as a coven SHOULD be. Diverse backgrounds, beliefs, lives...yet everyone is supportive and loyal. The members rush in to greet the newbies...and those that don't participate?? We cull. There's no need to hold on to members to suck up their favor, status, etc. This really doesn't benefit the coven in reality. In reality, the friendship and humour abundant in the coven strengthens our coven.
For March Pride, I have to say I'm exceedingly proud of Monomacy. And I'm even MORE proud of my fellow Monomacists.
You guys are absolutely great. Thank you.

*luffs* Id
lololol
Yes, it goes on and on, my friends.
It's almost midnight and I can't sleep. Bromazepam isn't helping. I've been separated from my husband since November 2007. Legal issues, immigration issues, trust issues...the list goes on and on.
I thought things had changed last fall. I was finally accepting that the mess that had been created over the past few years would make it physically impossible to ever straighten shit out enough to reconcile. I started to date. Then? He wanted me back, needed me back..had to have me back. I weighed everything carefully and agreed. Then? Legally..he couldn't enter Canada on a driving charge that was over a year old. He can't drive..has no car..and couldn't enter the country if he did. I left for Africa with my 8 yr olds in Michigan and out of school for 2 of the 5 weeks I was gone. The legal shit wasn't taken care of.
I came home after 5 weeks and he was here..in our home..with our children. That lasted all of 3 days..then back to Michigan for Court (which was cancelled). I got him back over again a week later. That lasted a week...now he's back in the States again...for Court tomorrow.
Things are strange with him back. We seem to be at each other over the smallest things. He seems unhappy to be here...unhappy to not be living the quiet, single life he's had for a year and a half.
The stressors just keep coming. Problems at school with one of my 8 yr old twins led to social services being called and one thing led to another until it appeared that nothing was going to work out. They closed the case already because it was...well...stupid. But..my son now needs to go to a Children's Center for diagnosis of what they think may be ADHD...the panacea for the public who don't want to deal with their kid's behaviour.
I'm just not sure he really loves me anymore. Not the way he should at least. I mean..I'm the mother of his children. He has no place to go but here. If there hadn't been that push....he'd still be living in the States regardless of what was going on over here. I feel like I'm pushing him into doing something he really isn't ready for. But if not now? When?
I probably shouldn't leave this as public. I'm just so sad and feel lonely that he's gone again :(

The wicked plotteth against the just, and gnasheth upon him with his teeth.

Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day. For my flesh is real food and my blood is real drink. Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood remains in me, and I in him. Just as the living Father sent me and I live because of the Father, so the one who feeds on me will live because of me”. (John 6:53-37, NIV).

I think it's more about zombies than vampires, but I could be wrong :P
Zechariah 14:12
“Their people will become like walking corpses, thier flesh rotting away. Their eyes will shrivel in their sockets, and their tongues will decay in their mouths. On that day they will be terrified, stricken by the Lord with great panic. They will fight against each other in hand-to-hand combat”
I guess if someone wants to believe it badly enough they will make it fit.
The beginning of the scripture it says
There is a Generation,
It means they are thieves who will steal from you by any means necessary.
But I'm sure if one believes in vampires,they will see them in any writings.
Actually...no...it wasn't actually about me searching out vampires in the bible :)
However, I thought it was interesting enough to see what people interpreted it as. Some saw vampires, some saw zombies....some saw the vilification of enemies into something so abhorrent that they needed to exaggerate their "evilness"
I find this extremely interesting. I cannot honestly say I've ever read the bible.
Do they have an idiot guide to the bible?
Look into the book of Enoch. They are many references to the vampire pre Chrisianity
yes of course they are lilith, adam's first wife is the mother of all vampires
