I SOLD MY FIRST EBAY ITEM!!!  Yeah for me!!  I actually sold two items, but this is the "big ticket" item and I'm pretty darned excited.  I'm selling off some of my old partylite consultant info stuff.  Eventually I'll probably get into selling stuff for my friends and family and listing some of my other partylite product on here.  First, I want to give ou, my friends and family, a chance to take a look at the product I have to sell.  I've got "MY" catalog started, so just let me know if you want to take a look at it.  i wish I could make myself write more, BUT it is 130 am and I need to go to bed. Church in the morning! 

    When I meditated on the word Guidance, I kept seeing "dance" at the end of the word. I remember reading that doing God's will is a lot like dancing. When two people try to lead, nothing feels right. The movement doesn't flow with the music, and everything is quite uncomfortable and jerky.

    When one person realizes that, and lets the other lead, both bodies begin to flow with the music. One gives gentle cues, perhaps with a nudge to the back or by pressing Lightly in one direction or another. It's as if two people become one body, moving beautifully. The dance takes surrender, willingness, and attentiveness from one person and gentle guidance and skill from the other.

    My eyes drew back to the word Guidance. When I saw "G" I thought of God, followed by "u" and "i". "God, "u" and "i" dance." God, you, and I dance. As I lowered my head, I became willing to trust that I would get guidance about my life. Once again, I became willing to let God lead.
    My prayer for you today is that God's blessings and mercies be upon you on this day and everyday. May you abide in God as God abides in you. Dance together with God, trusting God to lead and to guide you through each season of your life. This prayer is powerful and there is nothing attached.

 

I Hope You Dance!!!!

 

Thanks Kelly for sending this to me.  Good stuff to ponder. 

 

 

Again, I had to go out of my way to find out there was another bombing in Baghdad.  Suicide bomber kills 27!!  MOSTLY CHILDREN!!  How can be truly be this oblivious!  I shouldn't be quite this annoyed, until I started looking I never realized how much fear there is running rampant in the rest of the world.  Until London was bombed and I started wondering if they felt as disconnected from us as I felt from them, I never considered how much violence there actually was.  Yes, I knew there was violence and that bombs go off all the time and people die every day, but have you actually looked at the tolls?  Have any of us actually considered that if we got out of our little American bubbles and looked at the rest of the world, that the results would terrify us and possibly push us into action?  I haven't.  Take a look at the world news page and see what strikes you.

So, what did I do last night you ask?  Well, I went to Charity's house to watch a movie.  We watched Miss Congeniality 2: Armed & Fabulous.  Pretty funny.  Standard sequel, doesn't outdo the first one, but worth watching.  I will mention that if you watch it that you need to watch her "girls" in the scenes with the green sweater.  I didn't even notice it right away, but she apparently has something like water baloons enhancing her figure and they are ALL OVER THE PLACE!  It's VERY funny 'cause they even play with them a little in the scene, BUT there is NO explanation about why they're like that.  It was HIGHLY Amusing though. 

 

Unfortunately, Chair's son is sick.  For no apparent reason he spiked a temp and started throwing up yesterday afternoon and threw up anything he ate all night long.  Poor baby!  He's four and his dad just went back to the Marines in California.  She also has a Siberian Husky who has fleas and is scratching the bejezus out of his head.  That's the weird thing, the only place he has anything is right on the top of his head, and no not around his ears like everyone says.  He's so miserable he cries and whines, which is so sad, but sounds SO funny.  So we watched the movie in between crying and puking.  It was an interesting night.

 

Maybe I'll put up more later.  I was up late putzing around on the computer and didn't get to bed until 130ish and overslept my alarm.  I could, seriously, put my head down on my desk or even lay down on the floor and just knock out for awhile.  So, I'm going to sign this off and try to get some other stuff done and maybe add more about my sleepy day later.

         

Well, as I figured I would, I started this website, life got busy and I let it fall to the side.  So I'm thinking about that this morning and decided to try to get more entries up.  Then I realized that I hadn't written anything about the Attacks in London.  DARN!!  Like I'm living under a rock or don't care.  What is that!?!  So, here it is. 

 

I was in my car driving to work from the next town over, since I was dog sitting there for a friend, and the radio station said "We'll let you know if we get anymore information from London."  Then I scanned through the stations to find out what happened and I couldn't find anything.  I got to work and had to sign on the internet and read it on the newsline on Yahoo! or I wouldn't have known.  No one was talking about it on the radio anymore.  That made me very sad.  Then as I followed the coverage over the weekend I thought to myself "Is this how they reacted when we got attacked?"  It was very distant and very cynical and very "far-away."  So, I decided to try to keep up and watch the news and pray as much as I could for everyone over there.  I hope that you will do the same.

 

As I was looking for the headline links for this entry I found a headline about another middle east bombing in Lebanon.  I thought to myself "We freaked out in America when we got attacked.  We are upset for London now that they've been attacked.  Do any of us even know what happened in Lebanon?  Or what happens in the Middle East almost every day?  Yes, some of us know what's going on in Iraq, but even that is usually only because we have someone in the military over there.  How sad is that?"  So, consider where the bombings are every day.  Consider how many people fell asleep last night and didn't wake up, due to disease, poverty, hunger, or violence.  As long as we stay so disconnected from the rest of the world and the reality that most people live with every day,  World Peace is a pipe dream.  Just consider it.

So, as usual there isn't actually much to say.  But, I'm tired of that last entry being it.  So, I thought I'd jump on and plop in some info. 

 

I'm dog sitting for Charity right now.  Charity my friend, not a random not-for-profit charity.  BIG difference.    She has 3 dogs and I get to live in her house.  AND she has DirecTV Tivo!!  So I can watch old episodes of The Pretender!!!  I LOVE that show!!  Although the episode I watched last night is probably themost bizarre episode I've seen yet.  So, anyway.  I can watch an episode of CSI, any number of cartoons, Dr. Phil, Oprah or whatever I tell it to record.  Way cool! 

 

I also just finished a SisterChicks book.  Sisterchicks Down Under.  Pretty good.  And after doing a bit of research on Amazon I have just found that I have read all the Sisterchicks books, EXCEPT the first one!  What is that?!  I'm crazy.  A friend got me either the hawaii or mexico one.  I think Mexico and I read the other two from the library.  Can you tell yet that I like to put links in my messages?  I do.  It gives me something to do AND gives me a bit of hope that my page will pop up on a search engine or something because of the links.  I know, I'm not right.  Oh, well.  You know that and I know that, so what's the problem?    Anyway, I'm going to sign off and maybe get some work done today.  Have a great one!
