another "short" story

I gathered the short words together with brief explanations [in my own words based on the merriam-Webster-dictionary idea]. my goal was to include even words that are rarely used because they have three letters- and are VALID dictionary words. 
some think that big words are the "smartest" like 5 syllable words? as if "everyone knows" the short ones. well maybe we should- anyway as one character responded, in a movie in which art and language "battled"- the first letter a can be for 
http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/accusatory
while b is for, as she said "bla-bla-bla-bla-bla is 5". Biodegradable is even longer, see below.

Another "short" story [double meaning!]
It was a Sunday, so we had no school. Pa was now age 32. He announced, "For my birthday we will go on ae trip to the bay! Pack some food ben a bag." The sky looked gray, so I checked my mobile phone for the weather update, using its wireless internet connection, and saw that today would be cloudy with a 20% of rain, whatever that means. I stuffed my warm aba scarf into my bag and went to make a samwich. While I spread the low-fat margarine on the dark whole wheat bread, I heard a ba. Where could that come from? There were no sheep nearby to baa. Then I recalled- that was the sound of Carl's mobile phone when receiving a text message. "Bah" I interjected at the weird choice, while I slapped down a slice of 9% cheese.
When I was 3, six years ago, ma, an abo, had returned to Australia. she said that she wanted to go to her family. I felt angry at this memory- WE are her family! what an ABO! but I knew not to say that word in an angry tone, because that would be bad racism. there must be many decent abos. She had brought her adz home with her in her rolling suitcase. My dad had told me, "I am a bi" and today his boyfriend Carl would spend the day with us. Carl usually goes to church on Sundays, but he would rather be with my pa. Sometimes I imagine that I have two dads. I would call one pa and the other dad.
"Gary, go help your sister make her bed," instructed Carl. I  added the second slice of bread and then went to help Dawn. I was only nine years old and she was only 7 but together we flapped the fabric sheet to spread it flat on the bed. Dawn had neatened her pillow all by herself. I aided her and we succeeded to neaten the sheet. 
Carl watched from the door of our room and encouraged me, "You are a great aide. I think you deserve some dark chocolate for that act." Dawn asked, "why is it called dark? all chocolate is dark!" "because milk chocolate sometimes has milk powder but dark chocolate is darker with more chocolate." "more? that does not make sense!" exclaimed Dawn. "A chocolate bar is not really "chocolate" it is a mix of chocolate and sugar and other stuff," I explained and got a chunk of chocolate wrapped in foil. I went back to the counter and put the samwich into the small clear plastic bag with the green symbol and a long word: biodegradable.
"Bart," I called, "which fruit do I need for today?" My dad answered, "pack 4 bananas and one grape, Gary." "bah" I whispered and could not believe he thought that was funny.
Dawn and I sat in the aft seats. I downloaded an application to measure sound and challenged Dawn, "I bet a can shout louder than you." "it is a bet!" she replied. pa begged us "Please do not ail me with shouts in the car."
Dawn asked me for a banana. when I gave it to her she said "look a cee! which fruit looks like b?"
"A grape is shaped like a bee", pa answered, "did you bring one?".
I pointed another banana to aim it at Dawn like a gun. "I ban you from playing with bananas like guns!" instructed Carl.
when we arrived at the bay, I activated the app. Out of the car, I shouted a very loud "aha!" trying to reach a "bel", whatever that is. Then Dawn screeched "Bat!" and the app showed her sound was louder. She had won. "Bats use noise to find their way but do bump into things," instructed Carl. "You possess great knowledge" pa complimented him. At the bay pa read the poem below. We all had a fun trip: pedaling the pedal-boats and rowing the row-boats and we even had time to learn how to sail and direct a sailboat! END

why the septuagint is "cool"

1 kyrios
2 indiscriminate?
3 22 plural?
4 order
intro: the septuagint was written around 250 BC as a translation of the pentateuch. More books were translated and included see below; list and order. Philo [not to be confused with the philosopher plato] of alexandria wrote interpretations of the septuagint. the "sept" in the name septuagint, is for the latin seventy like the seventh month "sept"+ember [counting from march, why? from the day after the leap year day of february 28 or 29] or septagon with seven sides. perhaps it took seven days for the many scholars to translate the section which each one was assigned to translate.
1 kyrios
one cool "find" in the septuagint, called LXX [roman numerals for 70], is that names have not been preserved. it would seem accurate for someone named moses to be called "moses", which lxx does- the name is the same name, to identify this character. the septuagint only preserves moses 's name not gods name yahweh. instead of yahweh the lxx has "kyrios" replacing the name yahweh.
for example in the translation to exodus 3 [this is the page I opened for section 3] the name moses was translated moses in greek letters to identify the person moses yet in 3.2 yahweh is not yahweh but instead kyrios. it should keep the name in greek letters for both moses and yahweh because they are names. this is cool!
similarly the hebrew name for god "elohim" in hebrew is replaced with theos in 3.6 theos of patro=father abram isac and jacob. not the name in greek letters but "theos" so the distinction between yahweh and elohim is preserved because in verse 6 theos for e while in verse 7 "kyrios" for yahweh
compare verses 6 and 7
http://www.mechon-mamre.org/p/pt/pt0203.htm
http://www.ellopos.net/elpenor/greek-texts/septuagint/chapter.asp?book=2&page=3
2 now that we know about kyrios we can identify a lie. i am in horror that a certaion professor published the lie that "the lxx indiscriminately renders" both y and e as theos. this is a lie becauses as we see the distinction is preserved- the only truth in that claim is that "personal name" is removed  to be swapped with a description- yahweh is not yahweh but y is kyrios= "lord".
similarly in 2 cron. 1, the hebrew "y+e" is translated "kyrios theos"
3 in that chapter god self-assigns a name: lxx does not repeat the name but says "I am the one" from greek "ἐγώ εἰμι ὁ ὤν" name meaning "I am the one". this differs ffrom the masoretic version apparently after josephus [because the content is often different from what josephus preserved, very often] by the council of jamnia around 90 AD; with a future verb. english translations prefer the original "am"- the original text over the rabbinic corruption called masoretic. I am specifying that the masoretic version is a rabbinic corruption and not the "original hebrew" for numerous reasons based on differences preserved in josephus and the septuagint.
4 this professsor continues to mislead his readers by claiming that the septuagint is "tolerant of all gods" claiming a plural for exodus 22.28 yet the same word theos as usual is there except for verse number 19 in hebrew which is called verse 20 there: sacrificing to the "gods" is bad  theois plural but in verse 28 the one claimed to "tolerate" polytheism does not have "theois" but the usual common theos same as verse 7 called verse 8 approach near the god "theou" not the plural with a vowel "i". so the bible which constantly demands death of polytheists such as deuteronomy 7 and septuagint has that chapter! surprise should not have a speeling of theos to tolerate plurality of gods.even if it was spelled with "i" theois we would say the letter is an error based on vese 20 use rather than to reverse based on one letter  verses elsewhere not to "tolerate" idol worshippers. so the claim "encourages tolerance" is a lie
finally the order is cool

wept and slept and past

although in school we must write "according to rules" and show we listened in class with the correct suffixes whether d or ed or t
dance+d or walk+ed or weep>wept etc.
still in the internet we control the language because of how the language is used
I think when we use past we should favor the t of "past" in most words with only exception for words with a t such as want, but all words should have the "past" suffix t the way the word sounds
dancet
walkt
hit
similarly for extra letters that are silent
you make me laf I laft

rare words from dictionary

My sister shows her ego, very often. sometimes her ego is apparent in her tone of voice such as the way she says "eh", however my parents say her tone of voice is fine. we both like to draw pictures however she annoys me when she compares. 
One day I colored an elm tree and under its branches a brown elk. She announced that her page, with scattered little simple squiggles was "a mob of emus and erns flying together in six ells". She is such a show-off. Next she criticized my drawing, "You spent an eon and all your ergs to draw just a few things." I would not be beat by her drawing nor her rare words and replied "I really fagged on these details!" She just made a silly face and corrected me "you mean you look fagged". 
I quickly added a fid and said "I even drew one fid." Refusing to be outdone my sister squealed "that is a fib you only added that now!" She grabbed a blue crayon and swept a line across the bottom end of the page and announced, "The emus fly over the fen." I added an elf wearing a red fez to my picture. ere her outburst I had felt happy as I drew and satisfied with my drawing, too, but that era of fun had ended. After we et what we were fed, we tried to out draw each other! I resisted the urge to call her "fat" after seeing how much she had eaten. I colored many colors and folded the paper into a pretty fan. I glanced at her picture and could not deny the quality. I admitted "for such a nice picture you deserve a large fee" She said "thank you." 
Finally we wrote a poem together about learning how to write:
Writing

:
Learning how to write is so hard

which is worse?

we know that people, who go to protests, go because they feel strongly about the issue. however is it proper to STIFLE and silence opinions based on the possibility of violence?
i recently saw a video called exodus- at one point the british representative explained that "our mission is to keep peace and if we allow jews to come here, then the Arabs will riot in Palestine [the name in the '40s for a land in which both arab and jewish Palestinians lived].
The idea in this video of "Suspecting the arabs doing a violent" response has the problem of "generality and racism" accusing the race of arabs of violent responses. 
he should not be suspecting the arabs of actually doing violent acts and should not decide based on this possibility. instead he should do whatever commitment the government made about authorizing the jews to return to the land once called "juda" a name preserved in the New testament and from which the people of that land were called "jews" without suspecting that arabs awould actually be violent. In doubt he could prepare for the possibility by sending police to watch and observe and be present to deter the possibility- while keeping the commitment to allow return as explained.
whatever- it was only a video
but what about in real life?
in a university in Israel two rival political parties wanted to have a protest. in order to "prevent violence" one side was silenced and forbidden to counter-protest. so which is worse: the racism of suspecting the arab protesters of a violent response OR the SILENCING of one side from making a counter protest?
In comparison a different university in Israel allowed both sides to protest and prepared by separating the two groups. which part of the decision was worse?
what do you think?

another entertaining story

Introduction: this story has words that we barely use, which I got from dictionaries. Their definitions are below.w
I returned home from school and saw my sister, Bernice, holding her hip and moaning. So I asked her what happened.
She replied, "I banged my hep." So I asked her, "How did it happen?" She told me the story: "I gan to draw a picture of a hen, but then I remembered that I got play-clay for me birthday and decided I should try to hew the yellow clay. When I rushed past the counter, to get it, the hex of the hex made me bang my hip." I answered, "No-one wants to hex you. You must be careful when you hurry." I suggested that instead of trying to shape a hen, it would be easier to shape the clay into a hex shape.
Bernice asked, " What is a hex shape? it sounds scary!" I explained, "First you will flatten some clay and then you will cut around it six sides."  "Gee! that sounds too easy," she replied. "Hey! This clay is as soft as gel!" I exclaimed in surprise as I felt the texture. She began rolling a ball of clay, while I shaped two long strips of yellow and lay them parallel with a gap between them.  
Next she made a smaller ball and pressed it onto the larger one like a head on a body. I took blue clay and made short narrow strips and pressed them to connect the yellow ones until it looked like tracks for a train. Bernice pressed her fingernail into the head making two slits for eyes like I and I. She took orange clay and tried to shape it into a beak.
I announced that the tracks were for a train that would be powered by gas. She asked "Do you mean gasoline?" "No, I mean the fluid which floats up and to all sides." "Fluid? like water? water does not go up!" "Gas is a light substance called a fluid, same as liquids and we pump it out of the ground and it is a cleaner fuel than gasoline or coal." Suddenly--y
Suddenly she crushed her bird! "Why did you ruin what you worked on?" I asked in horror. "This bird was sick with gid." she explained, "So I ended its suffering and now the clay is a large yellow gem. Now I will shape it into a square gem." m Finally our parents came home. Pa had a small fish and ma had Pizza for the microwave. THE END
The fish poem, [by me, ts]s

is "minister" a title?

jesus had a ministry- so "minister" seems to be leader and head-
until we see the use of the word.
we are aware that a "servant" is the low submissive one- who serves the leader-
and that "govern" means to control and decide for others the higher head-
yet somehow the christians have "acheived leadership" with the very word that means low- the opposite-
with 4 examples of "serve" they continue to insist govern
here is another challenge- about half of christians are woman-
I challenge- do they realy believe that god wants them to obey the teaching in titus 2.4-5 
I bet if someone would ask the christian women:
half would say "not really do that"... no need to obey
and the other half would flee christianity immediately.
