Cell Phone vs. Bible

I wonder what would happen if we treated our Bible like we treat our cell phone?


What if we carried it around in our purses or pockets?


What if we flipped through it several times a day?


What if we turned back to go get it if we forgot it?


What if we used it to receive messages from the text?


What if we treated it like we couldn't live without it?


What if we gave it to kids as gifts?


What if we used it when we traveled?


What if we used it in case of emergency?


This is something to make you go....hmm...where is my Bible?


So remember this...

You'll never have dropped calls and unlike our cell phone, we don't have to worry about our Bible being disconnected because Jesus already paid the bill.


But most important of all...you'll never have to ask Him 'Can you hear me now?'

Just Thinking About...

Sleep...
I am so deprived!


My To Do List...
It's 2 pages long!


My Quiet Time...
How I long for a little more of it!


Discipline...
I don't remember it being that hard to listen the first time?


Cleaning...
My house has been neglected
but...
The garage is spotless.


My Family...
Thank you God!
I couldn't imagine life without them.

Thankful Thursday

Decided that I'm going to post 5 things I'm thankful for every Thursday. Thinking it will do me some good to remember even the small things I've been blessed with.

♫ I'm thankful that I now have more time to spend with Elek during the day. I cut back my hours at work and love being able to hang out and cuddle more.


♫ I love that we're over a week into the school year and so far no one has been a grouch in the morning.



♫ Thankful that Sonic is still carrying my "limited time only" Diet Sparkling Lemonade.


♫ Beyond thankful that Ian met a neighbor who has quickly become his best friend. They share a mutual love of skateboards and BMX.


♫ Thankful that I had some girl time with my BFF, Meaghan. Megs moved to Delaware in May and I have been missing her like crazy. She's back visiting and we went out on Saturday and treated ourselves to Manicures, Pedicures and dinner.

So what are you thankful for?

A Bit of Nonsense About a Sock

Here you sit, with 29 other single friends. Once part of a perfect pair, now you are all outcast members of apparel.

You show off your individual characteristics: stripes, labels, patterns longing (like a teenage girl) for the day when you will find your perfect mate.
Confusion sets in as you try to recall how you ended up in this predicament. You made it to the laundry room, but somehow became separated during the endless spinning and tumbling. Did your mate get somehow lodged behind the machines or did he get pulled through the dryer vent into some unknown abyss?

You wait and hope that during the course of the day your counterpart will be found unharmed (accidental bleaching is the worst), but as the sun begins to set you feel the dread of knowing your fate will soon be sealed and you will end up in "the drawer".

The drawer of lost socks, never (perhaps more like rarely) to be appreciated again. There you will wait until in a chance encounter some child who is late and running out the door will just grab two of you and head to school. The shame will be great as one of you will sag and the other will barely fit on the child who carelessly grabbed you. You might not even be the same color or pattern.... the embarrassment.
Yours is a cautionary tale of companionship lost, of a once useful life left to whither away on a ledge instead of the once adored smelly tennis shoe.
