Something Missing?

I was listening to the radio in my vehicle the other day. There was a talk show on my regular station and I felt like listening to music. So, I flipped it over to the country station. As a new song was playing that I had not heard before, I listened intently to the words of the song. The lines that caught my attention were, "If your world's got something missing, put a girl in it." Now while that line sounds fine in the context of a country song, the words sounded hollow to me. I thought, what about God? If your world is missing something, put God in it. So, when the line came on again, I sang "put God in it".

The Glass is Half Full

Here's a great inspiring quote:

"When we change the way we look at things, the things we look at change." ~Wayne Dryer~

It's like looking at the glass as half full instead of half empty. Instead of seeing the negative, choose to see the positive. There's another way you can use this as well. Not only is this philosophy good for looking at the things in the present, but also the past. I believe that God can turn around bad situations so that something good can come out of it. If you are bothered by some of the bad situations you have had, perhaps you can see a ray of light in it. For example, maybe you were fired from a job, but this enabled you to get a much better job opportunity. It's often not apparent to you while in a rough situation, but after the dust settles, so to speak, see the good that can come out of it. Try to see the the positive side of things.

Kitty from heaven

Here's not only a humourous story, but it's inspirational as well. It just shows how creative God can be. hahaha. What are you believing God for?


The pastor of a church had a mischievous kitten. One morning, the kitten climbed up a tree in his backyard and then was afraid to come down. The pastor coaxed, offered warm milk, etc.

The kitty would not come down. The tree was not sturdy enough to climb, so the pastor decided that if he tied a rope to his car and drove away so that the tree bent down, he could then reach up and get the kitten.
That`s what he did, all the while checking his progress in the car. He then figured if he went just a little bit further, the tree would bend sufficiently for him to reach the kitten. But as he moved the car a little further forward, the rope broke. The tree went "bong!" and the kitten instantly sailed through the air-out of sight.

The pastor felt terrible. He walked all over the neighborhood asking people if they`d seen a little kitten. No. Nobody had seen a stray kitten. So he prayed, "Lord, I just commit this kitten to your keeping," and went on about his business. A few days later, he was at the grocery store and met one of his church members. He happened to look into her shopping cart and was amazed to see cat food. This woman was a cat hater and everyone knew it. So he asked her, "Why are you buying cat food when you hate cats so much?"

She replied, "You won`t believe this," and then told him how her little girl had been begging her for a cat, but she kept refusing. Then a few days earlier, the child began to beg again. The Mom finally told her little girl, "Well, if God gives you a cat, I`ll let you keep it."

She told the pastor, "I watched my child go out in the yard, get on her knees, and ask God for a cat. And really, Pastor, you won`t believe this, but I saw it with my own eyes. A kitten suddenly came flying out of the blue sky, with its paws outspread, and landed right in front of her."

Never underestimate the Power of God and His unique sense of humor

Giving Blood to save his sister

This author unknown email was sent to me. It just shows how much the little brother loved his sister.

Many years ago, a doctor working at Stanford Hospital got to know a little girl named Liz who was suffering from a rare and serious disease. Her only chance of recovery appeared to be a blood transfusion from her 5-year old brother, who had miraculously survived the same disease and had developed the antibodies, needed to combat the illness. The doctor explained the situation to her little brother, and asked the boy if he would be willing to give his blood to his sister. I saw him hesitate for only a moment before taking a deep breath and saying, "Yes, I'll do it if it will save Liz."

As the transfusion progressed, he lay in bed next to his sister and smiled, as we all did, seeing the color returning to her cheeks. Then his face grew pale and his smile faded. He looked up at the doctor and asked with a trembling voice, "When will it happen?"

"When will what happen?" Asked the doctor.

"Will I start to die right away?" Asked the boy.

Being young, you see, the boy had misunderstood the doctor; he thought he was going to have to give his sister all of his blood.

Template Generator

Internet life (anything on the computer for that matter) can be a frustrating thing when dealing with viruses. It's pretty bad when blogger, facebook and amazon won't load properly! I just need to back it all up and do a re-install.

Speaking of internet life - and stuff on the internet. I found a great template generator to make your own template. Well - I know of a couple actually-but here's a favorite. You pick a template and then customize it to your liking. They are professional enough to use on a business site. All the templates here use stylesheets (CSS). I just looked up a simple CSS tutorial to find out how to use them.
So, here is the site:

Charles Schulz Philosophy

The following is apparently the philosophy of Charles Schulz, the creator of the
"Peanuts" comic strip. You don't have to actually answer the questions.
Just read the message straight through and you'll get the idea.

1. Name the five wealthiest people in the world.

2. Name the last five Heisman trophy winners.

3. Name the last five winners of the Miss America.

4. Name ten people who have won the Nobel or Pulitzer Prize.

5. Name the last half dozen Academy Award winner for best actor and
actress.

6. Name the last decade's worth of World Series winners.

How did you do?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The point is, none of us remember the headliners of yesterday. These are
no second-rate achievers. They are the best in their fields. But the
applause dies. Awards tarnish. Achievements are forgotten. Accolades and
certificates are buried with their owners.

Here's another quiz. See how you do on this one:

1. List a few teachers who aided your journey through school.

2. Name three friends who have helped you through a difficult time.

3. Name five people who have taught you something worthwhile.

4. Think of a few people who have made you feel appreciated and special.

5. Think of five people you enjoy spending time with.

Was that Easier?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The lesson: The people who make a difference in your life are not the
ones with the most credentials, the most money, or the most awards. They
are the ones that care.

Pass this on to those people who have made a difference in your life.
