What does this tree communicate to you?

Monday Q of the Wk. Here’s how it works: Each Monday I ask a thought provoking question about life.  Pose the same question to your blog readers on your own blog along with your answer to the question.  Then come back here and post a comment with a link to your blog post so we can all read everyone’s answers!  It’s been a lot of fun getting to know my readers and their readers and so on and so on.  This is a great time to connect with others but it's also a fun way to build your writing and communication skills.   Grab your teens! This week’s question: What does this picture communicate to you? When I first saw...

Praising God for time with my sister

I love pictures like this.  They just look like God's light shining down from Heaven reminding us of God's love. It's been a perfectly lovely weekend and I feel like this picture!  My sister and her family came out to visit us on Friday.  We really haven't seen them for about a year.  They helped us pack our house up in California and watched us leave as we drove to our new life in Arizona.  My sister and her husband did come out a few months go, but we only saw them for a few hours.  I drove the kids out to their hotel room, but their kids weren't there and my dh wasn't able to get off work then....

Can you do this?

I could not believe this! It is from an orthopedic surgeon............ This will confuse your mind and you will keep you trying over and over again to see if you can outsmart your foot, but, you can't. It is pre-programmed in your brain! 1. While sitting at your desk in front of your computer, lift your right foot off the floor and make clockwise circles. 2. Now, while doing this, draw the number '6' in the air with your...

Are you making great time, but not sure where you're going?

Are You Making Great Time, But Not Sure Where You're Going? I subscribe to a lot of fun things and several of them have quotes from the rich and famous.  Yogi Berra is one of my favorites because there is so much wisdom in his humor.  I don't know for sure if he meant them all to be funny or if it just worked out that way, but there is much to be learned here. "Yeah, but we're making great time!" -- Yogi Berra, In reply to "Hey Yogi, I think we're lost." I got to thinking about this quote of his and it struck me that there was even more wisdom in there than I had originally spotted.  At...
