Can't we all just get along?
Howdy folks, remember me? I know seeing a post from me may come as a shock to anyone with me still on their friend page but yes, I'm still here. And as often happens, it is politics that gets me to post again ( Read more... ) -
Knowing the Outcome
I was listening to a pastor on the way home from work last night - James McDonald I think it was. He was giving a sermon about the promises of God. As part of his message he talked about stress in people's lives and made the observation that a lot of stress that people experience is because they do not know what the outcome of events in life are ( Read more... ) -

Magnets!
I love playing with magnets. Many years ago my kids and I were endlessly playing with Magnetix. One of my girls even did a demonstration of magnetic repulsion and attraction for a science project using these fun little things.
Today I have discovered a new magnetic toy that I must have - Zenmagnets. The demonstration video is a fun watch. -
God's Glory
I was listening to pastor Adrian Rogers this morning on the way to work as I often do and he had an interesting view on prayer and how God answers them. He put forth the idea that when we pray for things that God will often allow situations to get worse before he answers prayer to improve them so that when whatever problem we were having is fixed ( Read more... )
