Miracles: Receiving The Miracles Prepared For You
By Frank Damazio
see related

"Don't pick on people, jump on their failures, criticize their faults— unless, of course, you want the same treatment. Don't condemn those who are down; that hardness can boomerang. Be easy on people; you'll find life a lot easier. Give away your life; you'll find life given back, but not merely given back—given back with bonus and blessing. Giving, not getting, is the way. Generosity begets generosity."  [Luke 6:37-38.]

Because of Winn-Dixie
By AnnaSophia Robb, Jeff Daniels

I'm so sorry I haven't been on Xanga for a while. I've been having injections into the ligaments of my back and I've found it a bit difficult to sit at the computer for long periods. I will try and post more often now that the ligaments are beginning to heal.

Isn't this a wonderful video?

Faith & Science: Is There Meaning in Evil and Suffering?
see related

Yesterday I read this quote referring to George Bush "He believes Wednesday what he believed Monday, despite what happened Tuesday." It got me thinking about our Faith in God in those storms of life which might come in the Tuesdays of our life. We need to have a heart which is fixed on the promises of God and established on the Word of God not only on the Mondays and Wednesdays of our lives but on the Tuesdays too. We need to believe that HE  TRULY IS ALERT AND ACTIVE WATCHING OVER HIS WORD TO PERFORM IT in every season of our lives.

Authenticity : Being Honest with God and Others (Authenticity)
By Bill Hybels, Kevin G. Harney, Sherry Harney

This from Bob Gass at:

"The Word for Today"

"When The Truth Speaks Well Of You

The truth itself stands up for Demetrius.
3 John 12 TM

When others speak well of you, you have acceptance; but when the truth
speaks well of you, you have character. Demetrius had it - do you? A lot
has been written and said about character. Study the following words
carefully then ask yourself, "Do I have character?"

Character is simply confidence dressed in humility. It keeps its word,
its temper and its friends. It has a steady eye, a steady nerve, a
steady tongue, and steady habits. It's silent when it has nothing to
say, thoughtful and compassionate when it judges, and is always first to
make amends when it's wrong. Character doesn't run scared. It's
surefooted, committed, and handles whatever comes along. Character has a
sense of humour. It knows that a good laugh is often the best lubricant
for oiling the machinery of human relations. Character never makes
excuses. It takes its lumps, learns from its mistakes and becomes wiser.
Character knows that courtesy and good manners are nothing more than a
series of small sacrifices. It bespeaks an aristocracy that is not
dependent on ancestors or money. A blue-blood can be totally without it
while the son of a Welsh coalminer may ooze it out of every pore.
Character can walk with kings yet still keep its virtue, talk with
crowds yet still maintain the common touch. Everyone is comfortable with
a person who has character - because they are comfortable with
themselves! So, how do you measure up? Still need work?

GOLDEN NUGGETS - things worth pondering on.
 
1. Give people more than they expect and do it cheerfully.
2. Marry a man/woman you love to talk to. As you get older, their conversation skills will be as important as any other.
3. Don't believe all you hear, spend all you have or sleep all you want.
4. When you say  "I love you" mean it.
5. When you say "I'm sorry" look the person in the eye.
6. Be engaged at least 6 months before you get married.
7. Believe in love at first sight.
8. Never laugh at anyone's dream. People who don't have dreams don't have much.
9. Love deeply and passionately. You might get hurt but it's the only way to live life completely.
10. In disagreements, fight fairly. No name calling.
11. Don't judge people by their relatives.
12. Talk slowly but think quickly.
13. When someone asks you a question you don't want to answer, smile and ask "Why do you want to know?"
14. Remember that great love and great achievements involve great risk.
15. Say Bless You when you hear someone sneeze,
16. When you lose, don't lose the lesson.
17. Remember the 3 R's; Respect for self, Respect for others; and Responsibility for all your actions.
18. Don't let a little dispute injure a great friendship.
19. When you realise you have made a mistake, take immediate steps to correct it.
20. Smile when picking up the phone. The caller will hear it in your voice.
21. Spend some time alone.
