One Part Inspiration...

I just have to share this really great tip which has "Revolutionized My Life" (not really, but all good commercials start with that don't they?). Best of all, I thought of it all on my own, without reading a great magazine article about it. ( you can send me a cheque for $19.99 plus shipping and handling after you finish reading this) You know how you get information about all kinds of websites that will change your life? They are always written on little pieces of paper -which you usually find in the bottom of your purse, or under the seat in the vehicle, or perhaps at the bottom of of the birdcage. Well, I have started a Word file to keep track of them - not that I look at them more often, but it's just nice to have...kind of like finding 15$ in a winter coat pocket when you take it out for the season. Whenever, I get the information (for instance, how to log on and order DVDs from the library, or the file number to use if I want to register for a continuing educati...

In church today, the pastor was talking about the amazing love God has for us. He said that Paul used a "cosmic" description for the readers of Ephesians to describe the love of God. "How wide, how long, how deep, how high". This was used in the day to describe the universe. He then described how long it would take to get to various places in the universe travelling at the speed of light. The next galaxy would take millions of years to reach. This then, is a description of the beginning of God's love for us. It brought to mind the words by Fredrick M. Lehman who wrote "The Love of God" based on a Jewish poem about the same topic. The following information is from http://www.cyberhymnal.org/htm/l/o/loveofgo.htm : bio("Fred­er­ick M. Leh­man","l/e/lehman_fm") Fred­er­ick M. Leh­man ; he wrote this song in 1917 in Pas­a­de­na, Cal­i­fornia, and it was pub­lished in Songs That Are Dif­fer­ent, Vol­ume 2, 1919. The lyr­ics are b...

"Monk" is a TV show about a detective who is obsessive compulsive. He solves the cases because he sees the smallest details that others miss. On a recent show, he said something that struck me so funny I had to blog it. The situation is that his assistant is going through a very difficult time - obviously in need of some support. He says to her: "Is there anything I can do?..that won't....require any ...commitment from me???"

1. Don't tell people everything you know. 2. (end of message, in case some were confused)

We are almost at the end of February. And you know what that means???!!!!! Garage Sale Season is just about here!!!!!

Valentine's Day is tomorrow. What are you doing to celebrate it? For me, it is a great opportunity to let the important people in my life know that I appreciate them. Except this year, I was away when I was supposed to be preparing. So if you don't get a Valentine from me, assume that I was thinking of you anyway and appreciating you! {I wonder if you get the same brownie points for blogging Valentine wishes?!}

You can't possibly go on every ride. Enjoy the ride you're on. It will soon be over. Sometimes you just have to wait in line for 40 minutes for something that lasts 40 seconds. DisneyLand employees can show their annoyance in the "happiest way possible". Don't situate the ferris wheel close to the screaming machine. It sends the wrong message. Princesses have the occasional melt-down. She who marries the knight in shining armour will have to clean up after his horse" "It's a Small World After All" is not the song that will keep you up at night repeating itself over and over in your head. "Yo ho, yo ho, a pirate's life for me" is.

My momma always said, "Life was like a box of chocolates. You never know what you're gonna get." Maybe Forrest should have been introduced to Bridgemix!
