Prosperity = Holey Socks?
My dear mother, who often does my laundry, fusses at me for the holes she finds in my socks. She tells me I need to get new ones. The problem is, the kind of socks I really like, I just can’t find in all the shops. I like specific kind. I would like just as much to get some new ones, this cold weather and holey socks is no good. So I had to laugh when I … Read entire article »

A: Psalms 119 Q: Which chapter is in the center of the Bible? A: Psalms 118 Fact: There are 594 chapters before Psalms 118 Fact: There are 594 chapters after Psalms 118 Add these numbers up and you get 1188 Q: What is the center verse in the Bible? A: Psalms 118:8 Q: Does this verse say something significant about God’s perfect will for our lives?

Integrity
Integrity. Here is a word I keep reading a lot about these days, thanks to a friend. Found a very good quote about it that I’d like to share. “Have the courage to say no. Have the courage to face the truth. Do the right thing because it is right. These are the magic keys to living your life with integrity.” ~W. Clement Stone … Read entire article »

Snow = Puzzle
After a very warm winter so far, Maryland finally got a little snow. In our home, SNOW means that Mom will dig out a jigsaw puzzle. It’s a nice tradition that I like as well. What I didn’t know that when Crazy Andrew knocked on our door rather early this morning, he would take right to the puzzle. With he and and all of us together, it was done in no time. … Read entire article »

Miquel Gets Baptized
Miquel has been through a few months of making some good, sound decisions. One of those was to get baptized. I was rather certain that our youth pastor was going to take a particular delight in dunking Miquel in the water. As it turned out, Miquel felt certain he held him down longer than the norm. I had to hold in a giggle when the special music of our Sunday of Miquel’s Baptism was, “It took … Read entire article »

Michigan Adultery
This doesn’t even seem possible, January 2007. But a recent headline says differently. Adultery could mean life, court finds. “In a ruling sure to make philandering spouses squirm, Michigan’s second-highest court says that anyone involved in an extramarital fling can be prosecuted for first-degree criminal sexual conduct, a felony punishable by up to life in prison.” The article goes on to say no one expects prosecutors to declare open season on cheating spouses, but you got to wonder.

Christmas winds down
It’s mid January and I think the last cards and gifts have been completely delivered. It’s a treat in our household when the usual ‘big box’ comes to us from Australia. It’s also a good signal that this is the end of Christmas. Gladly, I think of it as a season and not a day – makes all those preparations worth it and John isn’t in the doghouse for being so late. This year … Read entire article »

3rd Jan. or 2yrs. blogging
“This notion of self-publishing, which is what Blogger and blogging are really about, is the next big wave of human communication.” Eric Schmidt I looked at the date on the calendar and realized that this day marks the 3rd January, or the second full year of blogging. I really do enjoy this blog and I am happy others enjoy visits here. I am happy to be a part of this ‘big wave of human communication.” I have … Read entire article »

I’ve been tagged by a delicate genius
I got a notice by Michael that I had been tagged. Tagging in the blogsphere is like passing on a ‘you’re it’ like in the schoolyard, by way of answering some questions about yourself then tagging someone else the same way. This one sent to me was difficult. I had been tagged before, but this one was harder as I have to name 5 things people likely don’t know about me. The more I thought about it, the more I had to realize, “Gee, I am an open book!” There is little that I can tell that hasn’t been told. Anyway, in the spirit of my blog friends, I will give it a try: At one time in my life, I have owned 21 cats all at once. You see, my first cat Missy had … Read entire article »

Seeming to do is not doing.
Being busy does not always mean real work. The object of all work is production or accomplishment and to either of these ends there must be forethought, system, planning, intelligence, and honest purpose, as well as perspiration.

New Project
Us web designers just can’t seem to get off the net. Our creative minds are always looking for something else to do. I have always wanted to do a lyrics site but didn’t have any idea how to make it work. On my photo blog, I started adding lyrics to the photos and saw in my stats how it was attracting a few people there, looking up the words to songs. So that led me to think I could do a Lyrics Blog, and proceded to expand on that idea. So, the new project is still in it’s first stage, but, it’s been fun already. Visit: Barb’s Lyrics Blog I am not totally convinced of that layout nor how to put the artists in order, so any feedback would be great! … Read entire article »

Aussie Christmas
Christmas isn’t totally over at our household. The decorations are still up and a present from Australia arrived yesterday for Miquel. I don’t know what Miquel was thinking when a long tube presented itself at our doorstep from the deliveryman, but according to Miquel, Mr. Dolphin truly didn’t want him to open it, it was well packaged and taped up. Upon finally getting the tape off, the package revealed a didgeridoo, an instrument from Australia. Miquel quickly found … Read entire article »

5 Pesetas
When I lived in Spain at 18, I took piano, art, and Spanish Classes. I had Señora Camps for Spanish and her daughter Josepa for piano. For my art, I went to a gallery owned and run by Ramon. I enjoyed his classes situated in Sabadell, close to my favorite hangout, La Llar. When my art classes came to a close, Ramon gave me a gift, this 1870 Cinco Pesetas coin. larger image here Today, I was teaching Laura about … Read entire article »
