A friend just told me he is going to Venice for a few days vacation in May. I am jealous! With business being slow, we need to find Cheap Holidays. According to Fodors, the Amalfi Coast, Amsterdam, and Bangkok are some of the top world destinations. Japan is where I would like to go, but […]
…why no one has come up with another umbrella design that is more resistant to wind? …why sporks and knorks have not caught on as formal silverware? …why no graduate has refused to wear the ugly square hats? Why hasn’t someone redesigned it? …why Build-a-Bears are popular? They are not that cute! …why don’t publishers […]
Gordon MacDonald offered 4 principles to live by that I would like to apply to myself: 1. Experience conversion on a daily basis. “I want the freshness of conversion every day,†MacDonald said. Each morning, he recommits his life to Jesus as part of his devotional time. “It’s fun to accept Jesus all over again.†[…]
I am rereading this book of short mysteries by the famous dame Agatha Christie. I’ve forgotten who the murderers were. They are never who you think they are. Hercule Poirot is still my favorite detective. I love the way he talks: “…I am sorry to hurry you, but I am keeping a taxi – in […]
Some good stuff here. Some do not require registration. Some are worth the registration.
I’ve heard it said often, but I am just starting to really understand it for myself in a personal and deeper way, that church is really all about relationships with people. Sure, there’s the teaching and the learning, and there is the music. But what is really important in a church are the relationships among […]
I had a lot of fun teaching the church kids today. I told them a joke and they laughed! They say silly things and I laughed! Sometimes I get impatient or frustrated, but how can you not love those kids when they say stuff like this: Me, teaching a serious lesson: Some people say God […]
Amy’s first time snowboarding. Leave her a comment. I live vicariously through my kids.
Oh, so cute! It’s just a big stuffed animal. I want one!
Quotes … Charles Barkley – If I weren’t earning $3 million a year to dunk a basketball, most people on the street would run in the other direction if they saw me coming. What’s the use of running? He can easily catch up to me! Now I know I’m not the only one who thinks […]
What did Charles Darwin and Abraham Lincoln had in common? Both were born on Feb 12, 1809 . Woohoo, let’s celebrate Darwin Day….or let’s not!
Since I’ve read all the Agatha Christie books and am even rereading some of them, Rex Stout is probably my next choice of mystery writers. In And Four To Go, Nero Wolfe and his sidekick Archie Goodwin solves 4 murders. The last one – Murder in No Joke – is the best. The other three […]
Dr. James Dobson of Focus on the Family “released a statement Tuesday detailing his personal opposition to McCain, saying if McCain is the nominee, he will sit this one out.” “I cannot, and will not, vote for Sen. John McCain, as a matter of conscience.” Since Dobson will not support Clinton or Obama, he will […]
Happy Chinese New Year! Did you know that rats are suppose to be hard-working? I thought ants are known for that. Maybe it’s not appropriate to have an ant on the Chinese zodiac, although a rat is not much better in my opinion. To celebrate, we ate with chopsticks and a bowl at dinner tonight! […]
Continue from previous post… Since the liberals are so concern for the poor and want the government spending on all kinds of social programs, do they put their money where their mouth is by personally giving more to the poor? ABC News reports: Arthur Brooks, the author of “Who Really Cares,” says that “when you […]
It has always bothered me that some Christians think that the role of government is to redistribute wealth, that is, tax the rich to give to the poor. Other than the fact that the government waste more money than it actually uses to help the poor, and that a big institution such as the government […]
Have you ever played 20 questions on http://www.20q.net? “Think of something and 20Q will read your mind by asking a few simple questions.” It’s freaky! They really can read your mind! There must be a little guy in there who is listening to us when Amy and I are talking. So we whispered the object […]
I was talking to a friend who was considering moving out of California. It made me think if I would ever move out of California one day. To uproot from one’s home state of over 40 years, there’s got to be a darn good reason. I can’t imagine moving just for the sake of a […]
