seeking God...

Vacation Bible School at our church this summer was titled "Camp E.D.G.E." where the word "edge" was an acronym for "Experiencing and Discovering God Everywhere".  I kept thinking that it should have stood for "Experiencing and Discovering God Everyday"...  but it really doesn't matter which, because both are important ideas....  we should remember that God is with us everywhere we are and that we can experience God's love everyday in our lives!!  The Bible tells us that we will find God when we seek with all our hearts!!  [Jeremiah 31:13]  What a wonderful promise....   

But what exactly does it mean to "seek God with all our hearts"?  Although many things could be said in answer to this question, I will let you think about and pray over this question for yourselves...  and if you are not yet seeking God, I encourage you to do this...  to seek God with all your heart!!  It's a safe bet that while there may be many things you might do in life that you might later regret, seeking God with all your heart will not be one of them!!

Happy 4th of July to all!!

The muppets celebrate the 4th of July... as only they can!!

questions?? comments??

Do you like something you see or read on this blog, but are not sure how to go about leaving a comment?  It is really simple to do...  just look to the bottom of the post, whether it is written like this one is or a picture or a YouTube...  

Under the post you'll see the word "comments"...  it will usually have a number beside it [example:  0 comments]...  all you have to do is click on that word and a page will come up where you can post your comments.  Your name is not required... you can post "anonymously" if you'd like.  Once you have "published" your comments, they will be there for others to read and respond to if they want...

So feel free to leave your comments...  share your ideas, ask questions, or respond to another person's comments....  let everyone know what you think!!

why are they called "bills"? why not "bobs" or "teds"?

"We would be delighted if you would pay your electric bill....  you will be de-lighted if you don't."  

I read this once a long time ago on some page of puns and jokes...   I was just thinking about it 'cause I have to pay my electric bill.  I complain to myself sometimes about how much it is, and the fact that I have to pay it in the first place...   but then I remember that there are those people who do not even have electricity...   and there are those people who have it, but don't have enough money to pay the bill...   and so they are "de-lighted"...  their electricity is cut off.

It is all about perspective, isn't it?  I may not like to pay bills, but at least I am fortunate enough to be able to pay them.   

We all need to keep things in perspective...  What, in your life, do you need to keep "in perspective"?  And while you're thinking about this, say a prayer for those people not as fortunate as you... 

question of the day... favorite pizza toppings

ok - so what are the weirdest things you would eat on pizza?  I don't know that what I like would be considered "weird", but one of my favorite combinations of toppings on a pizza include onions, tomatoes, green peppers, mushrooms and pineapples.

back in the game

ok...   I admit...  I've been a little bummed that not that many people seem to be checking out this blog, or commenting...  and obviously, I took a little "vacation" from posting...  but, I am "back in the game" so to speak and will start posting again.  Hopefully, more people will check out the blog...  and maybe even leave comments from time to time...   

when parents go to war...

Do you think of yourself as "collateral damage" as a result of your parent's "war"?

It's raining outside...

It's raining outside...  a steady, moderately heavy rain.  Out my backdoor, I have a covered, well, not really a carport, but something similar.  I stood out there and watched as my backyard filled with birds of all kinds, some on the ground and some in the trees surrounding my yard.  They were singing and chirping and seemed to be thoroughly enjoying their bath in the rain.  It is amazing how other creatures seem to revel in and enjoy the very things that we humans sometimes think "ruin" the day.
