My favorite Stupid Video

I was telling a friend about this video last weekend. Sadly, this brings me to tears from lauging so hard. Watch the window on the right side.

A little note (before you think I'm not a compassionate person), I've done this myself before, so it's ok to laugh. Go ahead... you know you want to...






It's the little things in life that amuse me.

Lovely...

Have you seen this?

Take you for who you are...

Just recently ran across this. It really struck me as to who we are today as opposed to who we were made to be. We weren't made to be alone, yet (at face value) we want to be seen as more than capable to stand that way... but... deep inside... we are all hungry, even starving because alone is not how we were created to be...

You have to watch the whole thing, it's really awesome.
Don't forget to turn the sound on.

Take care...

Life is precious, Life is sweet...

I have started today's post several times. For the first ten minutes I typed furiously at the keyboard working in one direction and then finding another to explore. Next, I read, reread, and finally deleted it all. There are many things I wanted to say, but none really seem to matter right now.

I think I'll just leave with this one thought. Through the last six + weeks we've watched some friends of ours walk through personal tragedies and yet, I still seem to let the little things get to me in my own life.

My prayer for myself, my family and for yours is that we let the little things go. Speak the truth in love, be gracious in all things, quick to listen and slow to speak. Settle little issues before they are to big to see over them and never settle for "just enough". Above all cling close to God...

Take care...

Should I Stay or Should I Go?

I'm reluctantly excited about getting out tonight. For the last week I've been struggling with depression in a big way. I'm not sure why. It's just been a difficult week.
As for tonight, I'm going to a writer's group for the first time. I've been so jazzed about going to this... then the time comes to leave and I find myself fighting, with everything in me, not to go. I would rather just call it a day and stay home. I do realize that for me this is a signal of depression setting in. You would think, that because I know this about myself, I would get out on purpose and not give in to these urges.
I am a majorly social person. I just love people (well, most of them ;). Once I get around others I feel so much better in general. But it's such a fight... I hate that. Why do we push against things that are so good for us? This isn't just an issue for me. Talking to others, no matter what their "issue" is, it can be such work to do what brings us life.
I know there is a spiritual battle going on that goes beyond what we can see. Shouldn't that be another reason to say, "Hello! Fight it!" But... do I do that? Many times no... but tonight I will.

Take care...
