Life Lesson # 73

If you should ever be homeless make sure to get a dog...the people that pass by you will have more sympathy for the dog then you and you will get more coins that way.

ROCKTOBER

Ya gotta love R-n-R....huh?? Music makes me dance-sing-shout and jump about, how about you??

Hope all is well with everyone...life has been busy lately...non-stop excitment.
the sky was the color of sky blue in the crayola box the last two days...smashing!

what's for dinner...

Breakfast is for dinner....VT bacon sizzled up with pancakes and maple syrup from the sugar house....it doesn't get much better. Anyone else out there eat breakfast for dinner??

A good friend of mine was in a car accident today... he also got a ticket and is a relatively new driver...since we live in NJ that means surcharges....but what matters here is:
A. Everybody was ok 'cept the car....cars can be replaced people can't
B. Pray for him....he is also looking for a job

On an another note...a good friend of mine (BTW I love being 42 years old and having lots of friends...I think it is because of our belief in Christ) has asked for prayers for purity...as a man I can certainly understand that...pray for all the men that are close to you for their spiritual purity.

and lastly....pray for my son, Sean....he is having some struggles and needs encouragement.

and the last comment for today is....when they went to the tomb....the stone was rolled away and there stood two very bright people...I read it, I believe it. The book of Luke...awesome book....truly awesome....go read it! just read one little chapter in Luke...it certainly won't hurt

Late Sun (not really)

WHO IS YOUR FAVORITE CARTOON CHARACTER?


So it's Sun evening and daylight savings kicks in next week which means it will get darker faster. I don't like when it gets darker earlier but what can you do Pres. Nixon is the one who started this in order to save on energy you think we would have changed from fossil fuels to solar and electric by now.....it's only been about 30 years since he instilled the changes when they knew then that petroleum was going to give us supply problems!

I have a concert hall across the street from my house and Buddy Guy is performing...I should have probably gotten tix's he is a classic blues player.
Went to Stand Your Ground youth rally yesterday and all I can say is that when you surround yourself with like minded truth seekers it certainly lifts your spirit.

I have some meetings to prepare for tonight and here I am blogging. Enjoy the week campers....we have "Wilma" and "Alpha" to contend with this week....go out and change someone's life for the better...

Life Lesson # 848

Good Day!
Amazing thoughts today....I have lived by many mantras and here is one you can all learn by; my house is your house or as I like to put it, mi casa su casa.
My children have teased me about that for a long time but I think they are learning from it. Our house has had a long-standing open door policy and the payback from this is unreal. It can certainly be painful sometimes and our house is at times not-fit for visitors but no one ever minds it and in fact people really enjoy coming here. I don't post this for kudos I post this so that you (insert name here) may learn to open your doors at all times and do not shutter yourself in your house. If you do not have an open door, and I mean wide-open door policy then you are missing a portion of fellowship that is priceless. Last nite was priceless...mainly cause I had a coupla friends over the house and it was never like they were over....they were a part of the family.
I guess I am trying to say love one another and be receptive and understanding and don't let an unswept floor or dirty dishes on the sink detract from having guests.
It's raining today and the rain is beautiful.
Matt I have been meaning to read that Dylan post and will soon.
I will be listening to Gorillaz on the way to work today.
Pray for people today especially those you do not get along with or those who do not get along with you.
Adam....great scripture reading last nite you certainly have inspired me to think of myself as more then a grasshopper. Gotta shower and git to work!
Love,
Tate

mmmmmm......good coffee!

Did anyone hug anyone yesterday~~~

If not, you certainly missed the boat...it was a wonderful experience.

With today brings Wilma and before Wilma was an earthquake and before that were other hurricanes and a tsunami and bombings and ________.

Yesterday was not an enjoyable day (work wise) till about 4:30 after that it was all good.
I enjoyed worship and bible class and although our spiritual leadership meeting was very heavy, it was good. I miss my son. He is only away at college yet I miss him.

Here is today's challenge!

As you interact with work and family stop and listen. Listen to what others say.
shhhhh....listen. Hear what they say.

quickly

i have repurchased an ipod....quite happy w/it but more on that later.

today's question...
