Do You Remember When?

Do You Remember When?

Checking out at the store, the young cashier suggested to the olderwoman, that she should bring her own grocery bags because plastic bags weren’t good for the environment. The woman apologized and explained, “We didn’t have this green thing back in my earlier days.” The young clerk responded, “That’s our problem today.Your generation did not care enough to save our environment for future generations.” She was right — our generation didn’t have the green thing in its day. Back then,…

Check Your Motives at the Door

Check Your Motives at the Door

Whew. Really? I have to figure out WHY I do the things I do? I was praying this morning and felt the Lord asked me to dig deeper. Why do I make some of the choices I make, and most of all, why do I react in certain ways? Ouch. Do I have to, Lord? Can’t I just pray and ask you to cover my actions and bless my choices? No? Seriously, no? Sigh. OK. So here’s the first motive…

Honest Reflections Scare Me Sometimes

Honest Reflections Scare Me Sometimes

A friend sent me a journal entry to read today, as she wanted honest feedback. I read it and choked back tears at the raw honesty poured out on the page. God has been prompting her to dig deep. To go beyond the surface in her relationship with Him and interaction with people, and she took it seriously. I’m not sure I can be that vulnerable, but I’m willing to try. Looking at ourselves is tough in the best of…

Hiccups Anyone?

Hiccups Anyone?

I did my good deed for the day and cured a man’s hiccups. Seriously. He called me and apologized ahead of time (before he told me why he called) because he’d had the hiccups for two days straight and knew it might be difficult to talk. Poor man was tired out and worried. His wife was threatening to take him to the doctor. I told him I have a remedy if he was willing to try it. After two days…

X Factor — Attitude ISN’T Everything

X Factor — Attitude ISN’T Everything

Obviously. Not after last week’s judges decision to put a pouting, fit-throwing Astro through ahead of Stacy. Sure, Astro is super talented, (although he never SINGS anything, LOL!), but to say he didn’t want to sing again because America didn’t think enough of him to keep him out of the bottom two? Good grief, that’s ridiculous. EVERYONE will end up getting the kicked off at some point other than the winner. So apparently he expected to win and can’t take…
