For children whose mothers dont have one minute to spare with them but have 24/7 to be with any man. Who dont even know how to be given a hug, just standing straight and stiff. If Grandparents had rights, I would take all 9 of my above mentioned grandchildren to be with me, to know what love is. They are in God's hands, at times my heart cracks a bit more for the kids who grow older, feeling less love day by day, while I stand in the gap, waiting for God to do His Work, His Will.
And for any other person, older, young, who knows what hunger is every minute of every day!

Take them!

I know when I was small, I wanted to live with my grandma i thought she was so cool and much kinder to me than my mother ever was...mind you its stressful being a mother. I wanted to run away, live with her and be spoiled rotten.

Why dont granparents have rights I dont know. Who else is going to play 'santa'? The parents never have time to do all that stuff.

!!!! You haven't seen your own namesake? Brother Gojira, you've got to see it. It's on Amazon Prime Video as "Godzilla", it's the original 1954 Japanese version, English subtitles. This appears to have an English dub option, but don't use it, I read it's ridiculous sounding. Watching an English dub would be missing the original feel. Of course I'm sure there's lots of sources to see the film.

The real original meaning of the movie comes out, it's different than the Raymond Burr version. There's reasons they cut out a lot of the original and replaced it with the Burr parts. This came out only 9 years after the war. The visuals and sound are pretty stunning. It's also viscerally devastating and somber. It's a hole in your education. :LOL:

I think the best is Godzilla Vs the Thing (1964) (Mothra Vs Godzilla). Such a beautiful fantasy movie.

Okay, you've sold me. I know the Burr version well, but this other one, all in Japanese, sounds like a must-see for a Godzilla buff.

Thank you :)

Cool! Let me know what you think when you see it. Can't wait to hear what you think. I don't get to talk Godzilla that often.

I listened to a bit of this out of curiosity. Definitely not to my tastes, but I did find it amusing:giggle:

I have a soft spot for music like this:


On the face of it, it is hard to know what they are singing about. Yet their musicianship
is excellent, and they sing with such an engaging passion, it is magnetic. Then, to top
it all off, I find out that the lead singer was raised by Christian parents who were/are
international leaders in the Vineyard Church, and there are hidden gems in their songs!

So, songs sung in a foreign language, especially about God :) Like this:


This is a 4th century Latin Advent hymn by Ambrose of Milan, one of the most
influential ecclesiastical figures of the 4th century. From the CD: "State of Grace."
Veni Redemptor Gentium means, "Come Redeemer of the Earth" (or nations).

Re-visioned by Paul Schwartz, with Gavyn Wright on violin, David Theodore
on oboe, Lisbeth Scott performing vocals, and Paul Schwartz on piano.

Also love the makeover Richard Souther gave to Hildegard Von Bingen's work.

I never tire of things like that, even if I don't listen to a lot of music
any more :) It could be said that God's heart is heard in/through the
moving, complex, dynamic, and harmonious beauty of music.

This is the Hildegard von Bingen song I had wanted to post:


She was an amazing woman who has more surviving chants than any other composer
from the entire middle ages, and is considered a polymath, having been a medieval
mystic and visionary philosopher whose extensive knowledge far exceeded that of her
time, encompassing, among other things, the healing power of herbs, gemstones, and
the workings of the human body. Her many songs/chants have been revived by a
multitude of medieval musicologists, most of whom reproduce it as they believe it was
meant to be, which is mono-tonally, accompanied by minimal droning instrumentation
in the background. Richard Souther completely revisions her work with stunning effect.

Heldegard was born in Germany in 1098 and tithed to the church by her parents, being the
tenth child in her family. She grew up to become the Abbess of the Monastery where she
lived, and she removed all the nuns from the presence of the monks in an act of independence
unknown in her time. She had visions that she turned into artwork, and they may have informed
some of her musical writings as well. She did write in Latin, so that is the language of Richard
Souther's arrangements of her music. The CDs come with quite extensive little booklets translating
the lyrics into multiple languages, as well as showcasing some of her artwork, and his musicians.
