Random Thing About Me #1…

…would have to be:

1).  I am frequently given to giving in to “peer pressure”….apparently!!

So, some of my dear friends Amanda and Alison have recently written posts entitled “Random Things About Me” - and I want, so badly, to be like them :-) .  Of course, upon further reflection, I realized that almost all of my posts could be titled “Random Things About Me”….so I’m thinking it may be redundant - but, here goes:

  • I am a complete chameleon, so even the “normal” things about me can seem completely random.
  • I frequently complicate the most mundane of thoughts by using large words…that I may or may not be sure of their proper meaning and/or context…but, I digress…
  • I frequently digress…and am easily distracted (have been known to be deep into a discussion and forget my point because the sky just looks too pretty)!
  • I love watching the sky, am a huge fan of lightening…although I will lecture everyone around me of the dangers of said lightening…especially in Central Florida.
  • I frequently lecture those around me with random tid-bits of knowledge that I have gathered…things that I shouldn’t even know, but do somehow - I’m very “Cliff Claven-ish” in that respect.
  • I love to watch shows that have been out of prime-time for years (hence my reference to Cliff Claven), then I will watch every episode in order…in perfect OCD fashion.
  • “The Office” is probably the only prime-time show I watch every week as it comes on.
  • I watched the British version of “The Office” before it ever came to the U.S. - it’s a little racy, though…so I prefer the American version.
  • I love British humor…and British murder mysteries…….and tea!
  • I love blogging….and my MacBook with the zebra skin….but, get very depressed when my “blog stats” aren’t good.
  • I’m very sensitive…most people don’t know this about me - I guess I hide it…or maybe I just get distracted by something random (like a pretty sky) and forget that someone has hurt my feelings……
  • Loyalty is the most important quality, to me, in a friend - that and adaptability…well, because who I am can change so frequently, you have to be on your toes to love me anyway.
  • I love my friends….and frequently give in to their peer pressure….

…hence, this post! :-)

So, there you go and there you are!

Peace to the out!

(Oh yeah, also:  I despise getting my hair cut since they frequently cut it all off even though I beg to the contrary!  I got my hair cut this morning…I think I’ll leave you all hanging as to the result! :-) ).

Peace.

Think Pink….

Knowledge is power, after all.

GO GIRL POWER!  Read more here…

And please remember to pray for those who are battling cancer.

Pray, work….learn….fight.  These are very “girlie” things to do anyway, I think!

So, THINK PINK!

LOVE WINS!

LOVE WINS!

Peace to you all!

The Remains of the Day

The sun is not quite going down yet, but I think I wouldn’t mind if it were.  I’m just a little weary today - sleep hasn’t been a friend the past few nights….I have always had a fickle relationship with sleep as it is.

This morning was good - the music was a little more low-key - we even did a personal favorite “Came to the Rescue”…and it was nice to hear the people singing praises.  That always lifts me!

We sang a new song, too - and it really spoke to me…to my soul:

“Love is Here” (Tenth Avenue North):

“Come to the water
You who thirst
And you’ll thirst no more
Come to the father
You who work
And you’ll work no more

And all you who labor in vain
And to the broken and shamed

Love is here
Love is now
Love is pouring from His hands
From His brow
Love is near
It satisfies
Streams of mercy flowing from His side
‘Cause love is here

Come to the treasure
You who search
And you’ll search no more
Come to the lover
You who want
And you’ll want no more, no

And all you who labor in vain
And to the broken and shamed

And to the bruised and fallen - captives bound and broken-hearted

He is the Lord
He is the Lord
By his stripes
He’s paid our ransom
From His wounds we drink salvation
He is the Lord
He is the Lord.

Love is here……”

I needed this encouragement this morning in my weariness…I guess we all need to be reminded of where love lies.

It was a good day…now I’m ready for a good night (maybe sleep will be my friend again…maybe).

Peace to you all.

All I want for Christmas…

…is to find my little “shopping cart girl” and make her smile. 

That’s what I’ve been thinking about today.

I guess I’ve got some work to do!

Happy Wednesday!!

Peace.
