Some women (ME) hate them, too. Why do women love them? Artificial scents and additives that they have in them are not good for people--I believe they contribute to the asthma, allergies, and other breathing problems that are becoming more and more prevalent.
I think because they give headaches. Most, if not all, really hit me between the eyebrows with a sinus reaction. Far too many scented products, in my opinion, are used! I agree! I do like apple cider simmered on the stove with cinnamon sticks and cloves though - much better than the one WM tries to sell with the claim.
Thank you for your kind words. I'm sorry to hear that you've experienced somehing similar, but it is encouraging to hear that you've been able to heal and move past it
He still pops on from time to time.
Right now he is trying to get things straight at his own home congregation. I'm hoping to convince him to get back on pleo, once the drama settles.
What a great comment! I also noticed that the Apostles didn't pull Jesus aside and say, "HEY, we have no authority to help people who are not of our congtregation!" or 'HEY! you are having a time of teaching here, don't you know it is against the Bible to include FOOD!"
Jesus does what he does so naturally, and it abounds in love and shows a heart that does draw crowds.
Maybe the reason why we tend not to draw crowds in our ministries is that we do not show the same heart.
I have a whole new appreciation for gas station attendants. Are there gas station attendants anymore? I make a game out of pumping gas (what else am I gonna do?). I try to get it to 00. I think I've done this once out of all the times I've tried (many). Today was a very poor job indeed...$25.11!
I make a game out of most chores. I learned this habit with young kids. It doesn't work well on the older ones. The job I loathe the most is grocery shopping. I try to go as fast as I can...like that old game show. What was it called? Old ladies slow me down and moms driving those carts shaped like cars. I've never seen a dad drive one of those unless he's with his wife. I'm sure it was her idea. My husband slows me down. He says he's just following me. If he were, he'd be going fast.
Well now I've wasted 20 seconds of all our lives. Enjoy the rest of the seconds in your day. :)
I never like being behind a woman is a checkout line. Men just take the change and receipt, shove it into their pocket and move on. The woman stands there holding up the line placing the change in the coin section, then the dollar section and the receipt in another section. Then the money holder must be placed securely in the purse after which she searches for her keys. Only then does she leave and allow the line to move.
What is your game for doing laundry. I need some inspiration. There is always some needing folded or put away.
My honey likes to do repetitive numbers at the gas pump. He would want $25.25. When it gets this cold I just pump and get done. Fingers can freeze off here in Ohio pumping gas.
I had a game with ALL chores when I was little. It was called "Do it as quick as possible and hope I don't make a mistake in my haste because I absolutely hate chores.". That's a pretty accurate representation for my "chores" today too!
Supermarket Sweep yes! As for laundry all I can suggest is the Flylady method she mentioned. Set a timer for 15 min, go as fast as you can and see if you can get it all done in that time. If not, you take a break (15 min?) and do it again. You'll be surprised what you get done in 15 min. This also works great for young kids. They love to race.
You have been all three as well. I got your name from some of the discussions. Your heart for God and people really rings out loud and clear. it is a gift. I'm so glad you are finding ways of using it.
Stocks are being dumped and sales of assault weapons are up.
PS I'm really tired of Main St. v Wall St. For some reason I imagined that phrase would go away after Nov 4.
PPS When at an event with stadium seating...do NOT turn around to see what's bumping you because you WILL be confronted with a butt 2 in. from your face.
I already got my AW. I bought it legally during the "assault" weapons ban. The Assault Weapons Ban is what happens when politicians who know nothing about guns write a gun law.
Visited a gunshop in Dade City,FL. The owner builds the original AR-15s-- SP-1 black rifle--out of parts. Would love to have one to go with my A-2 but can't afford the $900. price tag.
You don't know the "black rifle"? The military calls it the M-16 that was used in Viet Nam. The civilian version is the AR-15. Some modifications were made and the new version is called the A-2. I could really complicate things by going into the M-4 which is what many of the troops are carrying in Iraq. Just suffice it to say that an AR-15--SP 1 or A-2--is an EXCELLENT rifle.
Installation art uses sculptural materials and other media to modify the way a particular space is experienced. Installation art is not necessarily confined to gallery spaces and can be any material intervention in everyday public or private spaces.
I never realized my neighbor was an artist. But he has a toilet sitting in his driveway so obviously he is.
Haha. Our neighbor two doors down has a stove in his driveway....maybe it is one of those across the nation art projects--bringing utilitarian art to the outdoors.
There is some famous work of "art" that is (quite literally) a urinal turned on it's side with the artists's initial on it. I remember someone telling me that they had a whole art class period studying this work of "art". I wish I could remember what it was called....
You also brought something to my mind. Around here, Catholic homes display art in the form of a mother Mary statue in their front yard. Sitting on top of a cement block. And with a little poncho to keep the rain off of her.
Well I'm glad someone appreciated it! I think that a lot of very legalistic people are so quick to overlook the evidence of the fruit something bears in our lives. Christ came to release us from the restraints of legalism, not bring more. I am greatful for that.
