Day 118 - a picture of your favorite holiday.

St. Patrick's Day.... for the food of course! :-)

Humbling Thoughts...

If I could do nothing but worship, singing praise to my LORD, I would be content to do so, knowing I have NOTHING to boast of.

If only I could get past worrying what others' think. I don't think very highly of my voice or my ability to play guitar. God doesn't care what I sound like. Why do I? As long as I make a joyful noise and have a heart of worship, that is all that matters. In fact, I believe it is better to make a joyful noise that does not sound pleasing to people, if it means that God is glorified and you aren't concerned with yourself.... but being a music person, and hearing every clash my voice might make with another and every wrong note/chord I hit.... it's hard to be joyful in my worship sometimes..... which is not so pleasing.

God, make my voice and my song beautiful to YOUR ears. That's all that matters.

Day 117 - a picture of your favorite flower.





I love most flowers..... especially pink (or purple) and yellow dahlias and just about any color of gerber daisies.

Day 116 - a picture of the most helpful thing you've used all week.

Aside from many other things...... my car. I've enjoyed the lack of break downs and the never failing a/c for exactly one year last week!

Day 115 - a picture of your favorite movie.

Technically I put this already, but for favorite actor...

Not sure it's my all time favorite, hard to pick, but definitely top 5! ;-)



And this is the Real Patch Adams! Lovin' the hair!

Cl@r!ty?

While I completely love writing messages, whether in form of e-mail, text, blog, im, or even a handwritten note, I do not like the lack of clarity that comes from writing. If I send a text in which I am trying to sound excited.... and get back the response "K" it really discourages me. I'm sure the person has no intention of doing so, but they sound so not into it that it sounds like they don't care about what I just said.

It doesn't just happen in writing. Sometimes when I get really quiet, it's because it just happened while I was talking. So I don't bother talking any more. That's not always the reason I get quiet, but I'll just say that lately..... it has happened a few times.

I don't know how to take that. Am I that uninteresting? Or annoying? Or what??? I suppose I don't really want an answer to that question........... but it does frustrate me. I want to know what people are thinking. Even if it hurts. At least then, I'd have a reason to feel discouraged.

Day 114 - a picture of your favorite sport.

So hard to pick! I like most of them some. I enjoy playing softball..... as long as I don't have to bat.... and I like volleyball.... and basketball....... and tennis.... usually. I can't play many of them because of my knees.... though I can swim.... but I don't swim for sport, I swim for exercise and relaxation. Soooo back to the picking a sport............. ahhhhh I don't know!!!


There we go. No idea who this girl is, but she's got the right idea!
