LESA!! READ!!
Jæja, ætla að byrja á því að skrifa á íslensku.
Just gonna begin write in icelandic but please read my blog below that…
Af mér er allt gott að frétta. Ég er búin að vera ótrúlega upptekin undanfarna daga. Vinna í skólum, Fish tank (sem er svona eftir skóla dæmi), vinna í Vineyard sem er kirkja í St. Albans sem ég er í og svo að vinna við margt annað sem þarf að gera hérna á Ovalnum. Í Vineyard hef ég verið að byrja með stepluhóp sem er mjög gaman. Stelpur frá 11 ára til 18 ára. Einning er ég í hóp sem hittist einu sinni í viku og tala saman um lífið.
Þannig að mjög mikið að gera hjá mér. Kem heim for good í ágúst, þannig að hlakka til að koma heim en það verður erfitt að segja bless við alla hérna. Búin að eignast svo góða og solid vini hérna. En þegar Guð lokar einum dyrum opnar hann aðrar og það er það sem ég verð að muna.
I have been thinking a lot about our feelings and religion. I met a Hare Krishna the other day and really enjoyed listening to his values and about is faith. What gives him the passion to belive all these things and what gives me the passion to belive my God?
I like meeting people that have diffrent ideas than me about life. I love talking to them and try to see the world with their eyes. I have been thinking a lot about living in a place like I live in. Why do I live here? I want to be a part of the world and I want to see my God in people and I want to show and tell other people about my God but how can I do that when I live in a bubble place. Don´t get me wrong I love this place and I love how everything is here…but I just stuggle with this bubble. Sometimes I really need to go out from it and see other people. I sometimes feel like I am in a relationship and get sick of the other person and I need to get away from “him”. Then I come back and I really see how much I love “him” but it is like I have to learn to live with “him”. Live with “him” and try to take that person out with me. I hope you all understand what I am talking about if you don´t then please ask me or remain silent and just pretend that you know what I mean.
Today I was in a meeting, that in itself is no news, but in the meeting we started talking about breast milk…(really interesting subject…I will tell you my idea about that later) and then we talked about heven and all that jazz. I asked them if they belived that animals go to heaven?..(for you all that know me really well, you know how much I love animals so this is something I have been thinking about). Most of the people in the meeting said that they don´t belive that animals go to heaven.
I always get that answer when I ask people about this, but I am not convinced. I asked them why they don´t think that these creatures go up to the holy place. Of course they said: Because they don´t have soul. But this is what I struggle with…What is a soul?
Some say that it is our feelings and others say it is our spirit, but what is a spirt without feelings and what are feelings without spirit?
I have a cat and as some of you know she is really close to me. I really belive that she has feelings. She feels sad and she is happy. She gets jealous and she feels loved. So, I know that she has feelings, but does that mean she has a soul?
I believe that she is a strong character because she is not like other cats I know, but does that mean that she has a soul?
I know that some of you think…Hanna(h), come on now you are being stupid…and maybe I am but I really don´t care. ![]()
This is just something I have been thinking and talking about with people, all of these things I have no answers for yet and maybe I will never have them.
…but apart from a bubble, life, breast milk, animals and souls I belive that we are here to do something to make this world better, in so many ways…still trying to figure out what I want to do in the future but hopefully someday I will know…deep down in my…soul??

Skemmtilegar pælingar…endilega segðu mér pælinguna um brjóstamjólkina…e-ð sem ég er ólmur í að fræðast um. En gott að fá svona langt og gott blogg….annars sona…þúst…nýtt að frétta af mér…þá hefur guð verið að kenna mér að grípa í gleði og kærleika hans þegar ég er down. Það mætti segja að hann hefur verið að gefa mér stöðugleika! Ég fer reyndar ekki eins og Davíð gerði uppá svalir með sprellann alveg út að gleðjast í Drottni…en nálægt því samt
Kv. fallegasti bróðir þinn í kristi…. Eftirréttur

The animal in heaven argument, i reckon, comes down to this:
Can an animal do right, or do wrong? For example, is there such a thing as a righteous gorilla, who doesn’t go sleepin around. I doubt it. Therefore on a ‘soul’ basis, animals aren’t on the same level as humans who have Jesus to redeem or whatever.
However, I still believe that they may be in heaven. If heaven and hell are phyiscal places, like earth, then i imagine we will need to eat, so why not use the same animals, and the same food chain thing, in which case – boom – animals in heaven. The chinese peeps will be wantin dogs and cat, so u’ll be able to have one of theirs as a pet or somethin i’m sure!!

Sælar ástin mín
I think I’ll write in English, as well…just for the argument basis 
As you well know…this stupid bubble. I don’t even enjoy going to church anymore, did I tell you that? What does that say about me? What I know is that I love Jesus with all my heart…
I’ve thought about this, as well. ‘Cause many people (Christians, as well) consider animals simply being there for us to use and abuse at our own will. I don’t believe that. Us humans are the combination of a soul, a spirit and a body, right? That’s what the Bible says, anyway. So, if animals can’t have a relationship with Jesus…wouldn’t it be right to assume that they don’t have a spirit? But they can have a soul…or a mind. Obviously they think, we know that…otherwise they couldn’t survive. They wouldn’t know when to dodge danger, take care of their young ones…and so on.
Anyway, I’m struggling with the same crisis, my love
Luuvya girl, good thinkin’!!!

i can honestly say i’ve never had more than 2 conversations about breast milk. Joes visit is going well, saw Tay the other day… but I’m so spent. Sae P.O.D. in concert w/ Joe. Was good fun. I totally understand what you mean about learning to live w/ “him”. Sometimes i have to get away, but in the end, all i wanna do is be with him, not get caught up in all the other things during my day. Its like that U2 song, “i cant live, with or without you, and you give yourself away”. Hehe, life is a beautiful struggle. I dont really know about animal heaven, but in any case, I know God will judge them justly, so they wont have to suffer or anything. But simply, I believe they are good, loving companions on earth. I think we will be too concerned with worshipping God and all his glory, to be worried about our pets whilst in paradise. P.S. Joe calls my black cat Denzel
your sunshine,
renee

Hey , thank you all for your comments.
Tóti: Yes, you should do that like David hehehehe!! maybe people around you would not like it but hey…who cares!!
Alex: Thank you
Good things that you said. Most of it I agree! The thing that I was trying to put out there is the question: What is a soul?! How do we define soul?!
Fiona: Hehehe…I will tell you about it next time we meet!
Ingunn: Miss you too and I am looking forward for seeing those pictures. Yes, I am ready….
Beta: Beta…I can´t wait to come home to you. I think we are on the same tube! We will have to pray together and do stuff together. Love you lots and lots!!
Renee: My sunshine hehehe!! Liked that. Good that you and Joe are having a good time and doing stuff. Someday, someday…we will do the same thing! Yes, life is a beautiful srtuggle!! Love it!! and love you and miss you!!

Sæl systir, er búin að reyna að ná í þig undanfarið:), hefur víst ekki gengið vel. Var annars bara í venjulegu bloggskoðun. Eitt enn, ef ég má deila einu hér með þér. Ég var að kaupa mér kross með bænarperlum sem hálsmen. Þetta hefur auðveldað mér mjög mikið að muna eftir hverju ég á að biðja fyrir, vildi bara láta þig vita að ég er búin að gefa þér perlu og bið fyrir þér daglega! Guð blessi þig systir, sakna þín alveg svakalega og hugsa oft til þín, take care kv. Tóti.
Ps. Bið að heilsa Alexi

Þú ert latasti bloggari sem að ég veit um! En, allt miðast við aðstæður, hefurðu haft tíma til þess að blogga? Ekkert að blogga um? Það er sú spurning sem ég spyr sjálfan mig að. En..annars er allt gott að frétta af mér, ég oftast glaður, búinn að vera hress á köflum, hlakka til Eyjólfsstaða… guð á eftir að gera góða hluti þarna, ef ég stend mig og hlusta áann. en guð blessi og geymi þig.
