Road Hazard

I tell you, women drivers are a hazard to traffic. Driving to work this morning on the freeway, I looked over to my left and there was a woman in a brand new Mustang doing 65 miles per hour with her face up next to her rear view mirror putting on her eyeliner! I looked away for a couple seconds and when I looked back she was halfway over in my lane, still working on that dang makeup!!! It scared me so bad I dropped my electric shaver, which knocked the donut out of my other hand. In all the confusion of trying to straighten out the car using my knees against the steering wheel, my newspaper fell & I knocked my cell phone away from my other ear which fell into the coffee between my legs & DISCONNECTED AN IMPORTANT CALL! DANG WOMEN DRIVERS!!!

THE 10 COMMANDMENTS FOR CHRISTMAS

1. Thou shalt not leave "Christ" out of Christmas.


2. Thou shalt not value thy gifts by the cost, for many shall signify love that is more blessed and beautiful than silver and gold.


3. Thou shalt give thyself with thy gifts, thy love, thy personality, and thy service and shall increase the value of thy gifts a hundred fold and they who receiveth them shall treasure them forever.


4. Thou shall not let Santa Claus take the place of Christ, lest Christmas become a fairy tale, rather than a sublime reality in the spiritual realm.


5. Thou shalt not burden thy servants, the sales girl, the mail carrier and the merchant.


6. Thou shalt not neglect the church. Its Christmas services are planned to help spiritualize the Christmas season for thee, thy family, and thy friends.


7. Thou shalt not neglect the needy. Let thy bountiful blessings be shared with the many who will go hungry and cold unless you are generous at Christmas.


8. Thou shalt be as a little child. Christmas is the day of the Christ child; not until thou has become, in spirit, as a little child art thou ready to enter into the Kingdom of heaven.


9. Thou shalt prepare thy soul for Christmas. Verily, most of us spend much time and money getting gifts ready, but few seconds in preparing our souls.


10. Thou shalt give thy heart to Christ. Let thy Christmas list have "Christ in my heart" at the top as thy gift to Him this Christmas.

House Cleaning vs Heart Cleaning

In the same manner in which we clean and prepare our homes in theanticipation of welcomed guests and family members this Christmasseason, let us also prepare our hearts in anticipation of the Lord'scoming. Christ, our most honoured and eagerly anticipated guest, desiresto meet with us in a heart prepared for his arrival. So eager is he tomeet with us that he offers to help us with our spiritual housecleaning,working with us; creating a resting place for Himself within our hearts.

Shores of Russia


Старый сад золотой росой
Без меня на рассвете плачет
Возвращаюсь к себе домой
Мне не хочется жить иначе
Устаю от земли чужой
Непонятной и незнакомой
Возвращаюсь к себе домой
Как всегда хорошо мне дома
А на утреннем небе всплывает заря
Ты мой дом, ты мой берег, Россия моя
Где б я ни был я верю в круженьи земном
Ты Россия мой берег, Россия - мой дом
Если кто-то покинув кров
На чужбине находит счастье
Я поздравить его готов
Но над сердцем своим не властен
А на утреннем небе всплывает заря
Ты мой дом, ты мой берег, Россия моя
Где б я ни был я верю в круженьи земном
Ты Россия мой берег, Россия - мой дом

НИЧЕГО НЕ ОБЕЩАЛ


















Давно исчез за горизонтом твой карам,
Мою мечту разбили волны о причал,
Ты посмотрел в мои глаза и на прощание сказал:
Я ничего тебе не обещал!


Всего пять слов и в целом мире я одна,
Не надо верить было в сказку про любовь.
Морской вокзал, пустой причал, я ничего не обещал…
Твои слова я повторяю вновь и вновь.


Не забуду тебя никогда,
Мою боль успокоят года,
И в ночной тишине, только во сне
Ты прикоснешься ко мне.


Прекрасный автор, и актёр, и режиссёр.
Всё получилось, удался тебе финал!
Но я не зрителем была, я не играла, я жила,
Печальных песен, ничего не обещал.


Не забуду тебя никогда,
Мою боль успокоят года,
И в ночной тишине, только во сне
Ты прикоснешься ко мне.

Голоvоломка

Незаметно время пробежало
Его понять мы не успели толком
Еще недолго солнце задержалось
И осени досталась счастья долька
Как было нам легко быть вместе летом
Как просто было все и так понятно
У осени душа другого цвета
Когда же все успело поменяться?

Эта любовь такая головоломка
Теплого лета золотая уловка
Лето прошло, меня одуматься просит
Теплая осень, теплая осень

И лето унесет как листья ветром
А мы его удерживать не станем
И будет только нам двоим заметно
Что мир как будто стал необитаем
Все сказано, уже теперь все ясно
Растаяли слова и позабылись
Но почему нам сны про лето снятся
А может мы с тобой поторопились

Эта любовь такая головоломка
Теплого лета золотая уловка
Лето прошло, меня одуматься просит
Теплая осень, теплая осень

I Believe

this is one of my very favorite songs ever!!! i love how Elvis sings it on his Gospel CD. actually, i didnt ever hear anyone else sing it. anyway, here it is.

*****


I believe for every drop of rain that falls - A flower grows.

I believe somewhere in the darkest night - A candle glows.

I believe for everyone who goes astray,
Someone will come to show the way.

I believe, I believe.


I believe above a storm the smallest prayer can still be heard.

I believe someone in the great somewhere hears every word.

Every time I hear a new born baby cry,

Or touch a leaf or see the sky

Then I know why, I believe.
Believe. I believe.


Every time I hear a new born baby cry,

Or touch a leaf or see the sky

Then I know why, I believe. I believe.

morning attitude


There are only two kinds of people in the world - there are those who wake up in the morning and say, "Good morning, Lord," and there are those who wake up in the morning and say, "Good Lord, it's morning."

dozing... zZzZzZz...

i think this is most precious!!!!!

Q. "What do you do when you realize you have been dozing during prayer?"

A. "If you doze off, don't give it a second thought. A child in the arms of a parent drops off to sleep occasionally, but the parent isn't disturbed by that as long as the child is happily resting there and opens its eyes once in a while.

Prayer


If Jesus needed to pray - being what He was, how must we need it - being what we are.

Peace

Just few verses that have been on my mind lately:

Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

Philippians 4:6-7

that is the same peace that Jesus talks about in John 14:27

Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.

Be blessed!!!

Hungry?!

Do you have a hunger for God? If we don't feel strong desires for themanifestation of the glory of God, it is not because we have drunkdeeply and are satisfied. It is because we have nibbled so long at thetable of the world. Our soul is stuffed with small things, and there isno room for the great. If we are full of what the world offers, thenperhaps a fast might express, or even increase, our soul's appetite forGod. Between the dangers of self-denial and self-indulgence is the pathof pleasant pain called fasting.

---John Piper

Don't Lie to God

i thought this was very neat. it's a great reminder actually. as sad as it is, but as Christians sometimes we start to pretend with God and forget that He wants to see is the way that we are, not some puffed up people.

Jeremy Taylor gives us some fundamental rules for prayer. And the chief of them is this: "Do not lie to God." And that curt piece of advice, so bluntly thrown down for us, is indeed all-important. Do not burn false fire upon God's altar; do not pose and pretend, either to Him or to yourself, in your religious exercises; do not say more than you mean, or use exaggerated language that goes beyond the facts, when speaking to Him whose word is truth.
