Can someone please tell me why “Khan” has a British accent instead of a Spanish accent like Ricardo Montalban????

Visit me at my embellished memoir, in short spurts at: http://SueAnnPorter.com Mostly everything really happened; I change the names to protect the innocent and camouflage the guilty. And sometimes I get into some interesting Bible stories and talk about my views and what I learned from the stories. Thank you for visiting My Embellished Memoir. Feel free to say hello!
Well, look what hubby found in the attic!
May 26, 2013
Is it a rare antique? Is it a memento? Is it a lost memory for childhood? A treasured possession? Sadly, no. It’s a large Tupperware container filled with water! Someone put it in the attic to collect water from a leak somewhere. How long has it been there? Since before we bought the house, I’m … More Well, look what hubby found in the attic!
Witchcraft

“When you enter the land the Lord your God is giving you, do not learn to imitate the detestable ways of the nations there.

Narrow-Minded, the sequel
May 23, 2013
Yesterday, I wrote about keeping our minds on the narrow path, the one that leads to the narrow gate that leads to eternal life. Today, I am posting the updated pic. Have a great, Narrow-Minded Day, my friends!
I am happy to be NARROW MINDED
May 22, 2013
I came across this pic today. They make it sound like narrow-minded is a bad thing. Jesus said, “Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who go in by it.” -Matt 7:13 Being narrow-minded is a good thing. Making sure … More I am happy to be NARROW MINDED

Imagine
May 8, 2013
Last night, I heard a young man sing “Imagine”, the song made famous by John Lennon. The lyrics really gripped me as I understood what they really mean. Link to original lyrics: http://www.lyrics007.com/John%20Lennon%20Lyrics/Imagine%20Lyrics.html Oh, it sounds pretty….. BUT What if we really look at this in Spirit and Truth? Imagine there’s no heaven –- Why … More Imagine
What would you like for dinner?
May 3, 2013
This is my kitchen table. Doesn’t that sledgehammer look yummy? How about the mold and mildew remover? Would you like a dust-mask with that? We are in the process of getting the house ready for sale so it’s kinda crazy around here. Last week, I went to my Weight Watchers meeting. The Leader asked, … More What would you like for dinner?
I talk, I don’t TWEET
May 1, 2013
I have started to turn into my grandfather. Let me explain. My grandfather was born in 1903. There was a certain way of life that people experienced in those days. During his lifetime, radio and television entered the home. Cars became attainable for the middle class, and then became a necessity for those who lived … More I talk, I don’t TWEET
Will I reach 100?
April 29, 2013
I have been blogging for 2 years now. It started out as an anonymous place to ‘vent’ –but it’s evolved. Sometimes I just write about common stuff, like my dog, and setting off the smoke alarm every time I cook. Many times, my blog talks about my faith in Jesus, and how I am able … More Will I reach 100?
I can’t find the floor!
April 23, 2013
This is an old saying of mine; for those times when life is so insane, that I feel that I am standing on quicksand: “I can’t find the floor!” We are re-painting the inside of the house. We are hoping to put the house on the market soon. We are downsizing–but we might move to … More I can’t find the floor!
Oh no, Mom is cooking again!
April 17, 2013
What’s that smell?! I was just sitting here, minding my own business, and I noticed a terrible smell. To make matters worse, the smoke alarm started beeping. Loudly! Mom must be cooking again. I don’t know why she does the things she does. She puts something into a pan, and then goes into another room … More Oh no, Mom is cooking again!
First Weekend in April
April 12, 2013
My car started sputtering just as I reached the slums down by the river. “Oh please, just let me get to the church parking lot,” I whispered. My son and I had just driven two hours to attend my niece’s Christening. The car shook and clanked as I sped into the parking lot, dashed past … More First Weekend in April
Where Jeremiah and “The Harbinger” Met This Morning
April 5, 2013
I was reading the last few chapters of the book of Proverbs today. (Don’t you just love reading Proverbs 31 and going, oh yeah, that’s me, ah, that’s not me, that’s me, that’s not me….) Then I flipped some pages over and landed on Jeremiah 36. I hadn’t read it in a while. In this passage, The … More Where Jeremiah and “The Harbinger” Met This Morning

Now that I’ve found NOOK – What am I gonna do..with it?
March 28, 2013
I decided to try to live in this century, and bought myself a NOOK. I am cheap (thrifty) by nature, so I went for the inexpensive “Nook Touch.” I went to a class last night at the local library, to learn how to download books from the library. It’s the modern equivalent to borrowing a … More Now that I’ve found NOOK – What am I gonna do..with it?
Homophobia: I’m not scared OF you, I’m scared FOR you.
March 27, 2013
1) I did not write the Bible. 2) Yes, I struggle with sin everyday. I don’t think I’m “better” than you. 3) I oppose same sex marriage. NOT because I hate you, but because I love you and want you to know the truth. 4) God hates ALL sin. Some sinful lifestyles lead to DEATH. … More Homophobia: I’m not scared OF you, I’m scared FOR you.

Daily Prompt: What was your favorite book as a child? Did it influence the person you are now? The book that brings back the best memories for me is Twas the Night Before Christmas. My father read this book to us with his own twist. For example: When out on the lawn there arose such a … More ‘Twas the Night Before Christmas….
Last weeks journey – part 2
March 21, 2013
So off we go into the Blizzard, in our boring white rental car. The trip was estimated, by our good friend Mapquest, to take 3 hours and 15 minutes. Our friend Mapquest does not account for bathroom breaks, icy road conditions, construction, or stopping to get coffee because the road has become a blur. The … More Last weeks journey – part 2
