When you take the fun out-October 16th, 2010

"When you worry it's like saying 'excuse me God, I can take care of this'."

"Why should you make yourself miserable because of someone else's bad choices?"

"When you take the fun out of sports and games by getting way to competitive, then you might as well quit!"




     I think that people get into a lot of trouble when they forget what sports and games are really supposed to be about.  They aren't supposed to make a person get so angry that they yell obscenities, hurt people, or something even worse.  They are supposed to be fun.  I am not saying that being competitive is a bad thing, but I am saying that a person shouldn't be so competitive that they take the fun out of the sport or game that they are playing, for them and for others.  If they do, then I think that it's definitely time for them to quit or at least take a break and come back with a fresh head.  I hope you all have a wonderful day!  Take care and God bless!

Love,

October 14, 2010 Imagination quotes

"A rock pile ceases to be a rock pile the moment a single person contemplates it, bering with them the image of a cathedral."  by Antoine de Saint-Exupery

"All people who have achieved great things have been great dreamers."  by Orison Swett Marden

"I am imagination.  I can see what the eyes cannot see.  I can hear what the ears cannot hear.  I can feel what the heart cannot feel."  by Peter Nivio Zarlenga



     The imagination.  It can be all sorts of things.  It can be so wonderful and inspiring that it can help us to bring to life things that the world has never seen before.  It can also make us more scared or angry than what we should be because sometimes we let it run away with us.  Our imagination can take something minor and either turn it into something spectacular and amazing or 'see' things that aren't really therel.  The main thing that I know is that if you don't have an imagination, you must be one boring person.  'All people who have achieved great things have been great dreamers.'  Every material thing around us was once part of someones imagination!  Take care and God bless!

"If God brings you to it, He will help you through it."  by ?

"One night I had a dream that I was walking along the beach with the Lord.  Many scenes from my life flashed across the sky.  In each scene I noticed footprints in the sand.  Sometimes there were two sets of footprints, other times there was only one set of footprints.  This bothered me because I noticed that during the low periods of my life, when I was suffering from anguish, sorrow, or defeat, I could see only ones set of footprints.  So I said to the Lord "You promised me Lord, that if I followed you, you would walk with me always.  But I have noticed that during the most trying times of my life there have only been one set of footprints in the sand.  Why, when I needed you most, you have not been there for me?"  The Lord replied "The times when you have seen only one set of footprints, is when I carried you."  by Mary Stevenson




     Do you ever have one of those days where you just want to cry?  It's not like anything that bad is going on with me, but I just have been feeling like crying.  I prefer to be the shoulder to cry on.  Not the other way around.  Here's kind of why I feel like crying.  My neck has been stiff and sore for the past few days, making it hard to lie down or get comfortable.  I had sudden hearing loss in my right ear, been to two ear doctors who basically told me the same thing, that I will probably never get my hearing back and that I will probably need a hearing aid.  I am not even 40 yet!  The third thing is that I have been trying to heal planters facitis that I have in both of my feet.  Now, I know that there are people far off worse than I am and I am really not trying to complain or blame God or anything.  I guess I just feel so overwhelmed that all I feel like doing is crying.  I know everything is going to be alright even if my neck and feet hurt for the rest of my life and I have to get a hearing aid, but right now I just feel like crying.  Right now I feel like cleansing.

     I have always loved the 'Footprints in the Sand' poem.  It really says a lot to me.  It tells me that God is with me always, especially in the most difficult times.  I also know that God knows that sometimes the paths that He leads me down are difficult and sometimes overwhelming and He understands if sometimes I need to cry, but He knows that doesn't  mean that I am giving up on him.  I know that He always has my best interest at heart, but I also know that He understands that I may not always understand His motives and may need to cry about it.  During those times I know that He surrounds me with His love and lets me know that He 'is' taking care of me.  I love you God.  Thank you for always being there for me!  Everyone else, take care and may God bless you!

"A women is like a tea bag-you can't tell how strong she is until you put her in hot water."  by Elaenor Roosevelt

"Do what you feel in your heart to be right-for you'll be criticized anyway.  You'll damned if you do and damned if you don't!"  by Eleanor Roosevelt

"Great minds discuss ideas; average minds discuss events; small minds discuss people."  by Eleanor Roosevelt




     I need to read about this woman.  She must have been pretty amazing to have said so many insightful quotes.  You will probably be seeing some more of her quotes on here because she has so many great ones. 

     I like all of the quotes that I have quoted tonight, but I am going to talk about the last one.  I believe she has a very valid point.  People that have ideas or events to discuss, more often than not, don't have time to talk about others.   They are too busy!  Maybe, if more people would keep themselves busy, there wouldn't be so much gossip floating around.  Gossip is never a good thing.  It hurts one way or another, especially if it isn't true.  Something to think about.  Take care and God bless!
