Reading addiction
I went to Borders and bought myself a bunch of books yesterday. I guess it was kind of like a late birthday present to myself, and a celebration for getting a good report from my doctor. I am reading more than ever because it seems you can't get straight news anymore. Since when did the news go into National Enquirer mode? I want to know what's ( Read more... ) -
octuplet mom
I cannot believe this woman. If you listen to her talk she said "they were available and I used them" (Meaning the eggs.) How can you look at babies that way? This is so insane. Look at all the people who've gone into bankruptcy because they can't pay their medical bills... and we're supposed to pay millions for her? Worse yet, I feel sorry for all ( Read more... ) -
life
Thank you, God, for my fence. My little dog ran around all happy. When will I get to the point when I can really love my enemies? Never in my life did I sense I had enemies, but suddenly, they've come up out of nowhere. Is this a test? How much can I take? I've decided to follow Jesus, no matter what. I decided a long time ago, but I decide today, ( Read more... ) -
facing life
Well,here I am. I woke up having a dream that I was trying to find my husband, who died twelve years ago this month. I still have dreams (nightmares?) that he's alive somewhere, hiding for me. At least this time I wasn't driving around looking for him. I was more sophisticated. I had hired ap rivate detective who was trying to find him via his ( Read more... ) -
olympics
I feel so sad for every girl that falls. This reminds me of a dog agility competition I saw a while back. A champion dog fell off of a ramp. She immediately looked to her owner/handler. You could just read her expression: Do you still love me? I have read people who are dog trainers saying, never give anything away for free i.e, make them work for ( Read more... ) -
failure
These us gymnasts had an awful night the other night, especially the girl who fell during her mount onto the balance beam. What must she have been thinking and feeling? How do you go on when you know you've failed, and there's a camera on your every facial nuance? I can't believe her coach let her plan such a difficult mount. But, that's beside ( Read more... ) -
What I love about my dog
She never wonders why she's here- she's just glad to be here. She throws her head back, and howls like a wolf when I come home. She howls from the depths of her soul. She doesn't believe in, "oh, you take the biggest piece." She will take the biggest piece, or the best spot on the couch, and smile sincerely at you while she's doing it. You never ( Read more... ) -
life with Jesus
When I was young as a Christian, I thought I knew everything. Then some very serious tragedies occurred, and I realized that I didn't know anything, and, furthermore, God isunder no obligation to give me any explanation. Now God did not fit into any box, and I didn't fit with any groups of Christians. I thought I lost my faith, but I knew I loved ( Read more... )
