Klingons...what can be said about them?

In 1966, life as I knew it changed. 

 A script for "Star Trek" had been rejected by many production companies.  And then, Lucille Ball saw its potential, and Bob's-your-uncle.  It gave me a vision of something that would happen sometime, maybe while my great-great-grand-children were still alive.

YouTube world has such amazing offerings.

A series knows it has arrived when parodies are made about the characters. Rather than insulting the show, these showed how famous this and the actors would become. Who knew?  I was 14 at the time; anything and everything seemed possible.

 


 

Now?  Lots of things are possible, but not necessarily good. Wait and see.

Our LIneage is Holy.

The single touch
 
After spending/wasting a good part of the afternoon, the truth has emerged.  GENI© has wandered through the family line of my mother’s grand-mother, Sarah Ann.  Twisting and turning, I followed only the male line for ease of surnames, there it was:

I am related to God Almighty!  God Almighty is my 93rd Great-Grandmother!

Sarah Ann introduced some great genes into the humble family line, as her husband Elisha’s information dead-ends when he was orphaned with his brother in Ohio. 

Her ancestors came from England = from Wales= from being the King of the Druids Wales = from Italy = from land of the Hebrews.  The researcher(s) made some phenomenal leaps to some conclusions that announced Adam had a daughter (!) who started the whole march of lineage.

While I could be rejoicing here, there are few things I know already.

I am a Child of God without following a bloodline; the only bloodline I follow is Christ’s blood. And I also know that the jump from Sarah Anna involves some crazy speculation.  God Almighty is not my 93rd grandmother.

I will take the part about:

Brân “Fendigaid” (the Blessed) ap Llur Lieddiarth, Saint, Brenin of Silures

Or, Cerwyd ap Crydon, King of the Druids and Cornwall

Or, Tros, King of Troy.


P.S. My mother always told me that “Grammy” Sarah Ann had been kidnapped and raised by Gypsies and had the gift of second sight.  People came to her to read tea leaves.  Also, I wonder what tracing through the matriarchal lines would show me?


May include: A portrait of a woman wearing a white lace ruff, a black dress with pearl and jeweled embellishments, and a pink and green feathered fan. She has red hair and is wearing a pearl and jeweled crown.

Spirit in the Sky

Towers as dust rises

Pillars of creation

Brilliant light consumes

Divided and torn

Infants emerge

Fire explodes

Streams of gas

Towering peaks

Arrows sail
  
This is a re-post from 2016. "Dragon" has landed at the Space Station, a new crew off loaded.  Now the two abandoned station crew will be carried home by this unique space craft. Poor people! They have been there for 8 months and have had to put up with each other all that time Could you do it? Could you get stuck somewhere and cannot be rescued for months? I don't know.  Maybe..
