Farewell Letter

Dear Readers

Today marks the one-year anniversary of me Blogging, Also the last day of my Blogging Journey. I have dubbed 2011 as The Year of Blogging.

 I have gone through three different blogs. The Pyle Sisters was Blog 1# and the one I collaborated with my sisters in. After butting heads with each other, we gave up working on it. I then started Blog 2# Spiritual Daughter I was not really committed to it and ended up stopping. After Confirmation, I started Blog 3# and the one I have favored and been committed to…almost since day one.

It has been the most Popular blog I have done. I have written on many different topics and events. In addition, tried to cater to my readers who requested things. I have made online friends who have things in common with me.

I have learned to love the God Given talent of Writing. I have learned various things, not only about myself, but about my readers too.

I have never touched on the subject of how I handle negative comments both public and private. To be exact I have learned from the comments especially the very Cultural ones. However, with all of them I have prayed about and asked that God give me the wisdom to handle them properly.

That I might understand what they are saying to me from their point of view and contemplate on what is right and how I should take care of it. There was one time when my com box became a forum. One I had to carefully watch and try to handle.

I was asked later if I would ditch the friendships of those people. My response A friendship should be sturdy enough that little arguments or major ones should not shake the bond but strongly cement them to be long lasting forever.

Therefore, my final answer “no, it actually strengthened the relationships with those people our beliefs were tested and we are closer now. Therefore, I can safely say that once the forum was closed, and the fruit was passed around the table it turned out to be a sweet ending. *wink* 

I have already been asked why I have chosen to discontinue blogging. I have already received various comments from people telling me how much my writing has influenced their life.

Here is just some of the words to describe my writing:

Inspiring, Entertaining, Interesting, Well Written, Noble, Touching, Funny. There is more but I will not list all of them.

Therefore, as I finish this I look forward to how God wants me to write about. So far, my Book and numerous other theses I will be writing on are in my plans.  

Therefore, there is only two more things to say…

Farewell Blogging

I have enjoyed writing this and will miss it so too…

One Week Notice

OK, I feel like I am throwing in the towel from some job.

You could say that is metaphorically true. After about a month of prayer and Deep discernment, weighing the pros and cons, which has led to me giving my one week notice, when I will retire from Blogging.

December 31st 2011 final day!

 I have chosen and made this decision out of Free Will and for Several Complex Personal Reasons.

It was just a few weeks ago I was talking to someone about my blog and how I haven’t even scratched the surface of topics to write about. I could be eighty years old typing away with my arthritis hands writing like some young lady at heart, still not even half way through the list of topics imaginable.

I will still be working on my books, and experience the urges to write something down immediately along with at times having the devastating encounter with writers block. 

Now even though this might be totally unexpected to many of you. and also since many of you are enjoying your Christmas Break. 

So if you have the time and want to you can write me and tell me how much my blog has meant to you. Now I know all of you will not respond and I have learned to except that. But it would mean a lot to me.

Over this next week I will post that of

• The Farewell Letter

It never gets old writing this… Until next time this is Mylea Janis Teresa saying God Bless, Be Joyful and don’t forget to Pray!

What Happens When Engineers Think Too Much About Christmas

 A week from now children will be waking up to presents galore some might just be from the mystical and secular Santa.

I grew up believing in him, but due to the great extent of deep questions that I badgered my mother with, I found out sooner than most kids. My Father's an Engineer which means deep thinking must be in my blood.

So just for laughs, engineers and the deep thinkers at heart, read this.

• No known species of reindeer can fly. But there are 300,000 species of living organisms yet to be classified, and while most of these are insects and germs, this does not completely rule out flying reindeer, which only Santa has seen.
• There are 2 billion children (under 18) in the world. But since Santa doesn't appear to handle Muslim, Hindu, Buddhist, and Jewish children, that reduces the work load to 15% of the total - 378 million or so. At an average rate of 3.5 children per household, that's 91.8 million homes. One presumes there's at least one good child in each.
• Santa has 31 hours of Christmas to work with thanks to time zones and the rotation of the earth, assuming he travels east to west. This works out to 822.6 visits per second. This is to say that for each Christian household with good children, Santa has 1/1000th of a second to park, hop out of the sleigh, jump down the chimney, fill the stockings, distribute the remaining gifts under the tree, eat the snacks, get back up the a chimney, get back in the sleigh, and move on to the next house. Assuming that each of these 91.8 million homes are distributed evenly (which we know to be false but for the sake of these calculations we will accept) we are now talking about .78 miles per household, a total trip of 75 1/2 million miles, not counting bathroom stops. This means that Santa's sleigh is traveling at 650 miles per second, 3000 times the speed of sound. For comparison, the fastest man made vehicle, the Ulysses space probe moves at a poky 27.4 MPS; the average reindeer runs at 15 MPH.
• The sleighs payload adds another interesting element. Assuming that each child gets nothing more than a medium sized LEGO set (2 pounds), the sleigh is carrying 321,300 tons not counting Santa, who is inexorably described as overweight. On land, confessional reindeer can pull no more than 300 pounds. Even granting that "flying reindeer" (see point one) could pull TEN TIMES the usual amount, we can not do the job with 8 or even 9, we need 214,000 reindeer. This increases the weight, not even counting the sleigh, to 353,430 tons. Again for comparison this is 4 times the weight of the Queen Elizabeth 2.
• 353,000 tons traveling at 650 miles per second creates enormous air resistance. This will heat the reindeer in the same manner as a spacecraft re-entering the earth+s atmosphere. The lead pair of reindeer will absorb 14.2 QUINTILLION joules of energy. Per second. Each. In short, they will burst into flame almost instantaneously, exposing the next pair of reindeer, and creating deafening sonic booms in their wake. The entire team will be vaporized within 4.26 thousands of a second. Santa, meanwhile, will be subjected to centrifugal forces 17,500.06 times the force of gravity. A 300 pound Santa would be pinned to the back of his sleigh by 4,315,015 pounds of force.
• Conclusion: There was a Santa, but he's dead now.

Well there you have it folks!

You might have thought so hard you made your head hurt

The Christmas Hope

The third installment which follows The Christmas Shoes and The Christmas Blessing.

When lives intertwine during Christmas, hope is the one unifying gift. After suffering a personal tragedy, Patty Addison, a social worker, throws herself into finding homes for children in need. With her marriage to Mark, an airline pilot, on the rocks, Patty feels it’s the wrong time to temporarily take in 9-year-old Emily, who has just lost her single mother in a terrible car accident. However, sweet Emily quickly wins over Patty and Mark. As the Addison’s start to reconnect with each other, it’s revealed that their teenage son, Sean, had perished in a car accident as well, two years earlier. The ties run deeper– at the same time in the very same town, Dr. Nathan Andrews, a father-to-be, struggles to find the parents of a young man who died in his ER. While Mark takes a troubled friend of Sean's, the friend who ultimately holds the key to Emily’s special Christmas gift, under his wing. In a twist of fate, all is almost lost when Emily runs away, but Patty and Mark come together to find her in a true measure of healing and faith.

This movie has a song as well.

The Christmas Blessing

The moving sequel to The Christmas Shoes and like the first a tear jerker as well.

Nathan Andrews has grown up and is now a medical resident. After he loses a patient and old memories are triggered, the young doctor begins to rethink his career and takes a break from practicing medicine and moves back home with his father. There, he meets a beautiful, young teacher, Megan Sullivan, and falls in love with her. One of her students, Charlie Bennett, also wins a special place in Nathan's heart as he, like Nathan, lost his mother at an early age.

Returning home brings a whole new set of complications for Nathan. He realizes, with Megan's help, that he must let go of the past in order to embrace the present and move on with his life. Just as Nathan is settling in, his world begins to crumble when the lives of the woman he loves and an innocent young boy are in crisis. As a result Nathan finds himself questioning God, fate and the fragility of life, all the while hoping for a Christmas miracle.

Newsong like with the first has a song for this movie as well.

The Christmas Shoes

One of my favorite Christmas movies is The Christmas Shoes.

In this heartwarming Christmas drama, a workaholic attorney crosses paths with a young boy on Christmas Eve and rediscovers the true meaning of love, life, and the holiday season.

Rob Lowe and Kimberly Williams star in this 2002 made-for-TV Christmas tearjerker. When a young boy learns that his mother is dying, he struggles to scrape the money together to buy her a pair red shoes. In the process he changes the heart of a workaholic lawyer, who reevaluates his relationship with his estranged wife and daughter, and his own recently deceased mother.

I watch this movie probably two times a year. We have had several mothers watch this movie and brake down in tears, especially mothers who have sons. I have watched men who were close to their mother cry as well. As you can see almost everybody will tear up. so have plenty of tissues on hand.
Also this movie has a song , which I Love to listen to.

If you can't watch the movie at least listen to the song, click on the link. Let me know if it works.
