Funny Law of the Day: No Flirting

For all you New Yorkers out there, you better put a hold on any flirting you may be tempted to do.

A fine of $25 can be levied for flirting.

Unless you have a private stash for all those flirting urges, it might be best if you resist.

I wonder if the cops keep this one?  Hmmmmmm?

Funny Law of the Day: Big Box of Chocolates

In Idaho it is illegal for a man to give his sweetheart a box of candy weighing less than fifty pounds.

For all you guys out there in Idaho, I suggest you get some help with those chocolates.

If you are a man not in Idaho, I think you could take a little lesson from them. :)

Funny Law of the Day: No Hunting Camels

 

In Arizona hunting Camels is prohibited.

For all the Camel hunters out there, you are not welcome in Arizona!

A Little Comfort

Don't ask me why

but a hot bowl of Broccoli Cheese soup

always comforts me.

Perhaps it is the thickness of the soup

or the gooey cheese that

warms the soul.

When it rains

on the rare occassion,

I have broccoli cheese soup.

When I need a hug,

I have broccoli cheese soup.

Wow, I'm making myself hungry.

I think I'll make a bowl of broccoli cheese soup. :)

Secret to making Cambell's Broccoli cheese soup stand out and be even better than Quizno's!  Add shredded mild chedder cheese while cooking and stir until completely melted.  Yummie!

Book Review: The Circle Trilogy by Ted Dekker

When I read the first book of The Circle Trilogy; Black, I was thinking that it was a good read, but I don't get it.  It wasn't until I red the second book, Red, that things began to click, and after I finished reading the third book, White, I was like, "Man, that was AWESOME!"  I like that word, AWESOME, if you haven't noticed.  Anywho, the first story is really great, but without the second books in the series it is just another book.  Combined, they make a powerful and poignant story allowing us to see God's amazing love, His original intent for our creation, our fall from grace, and His amazing and unrelenting work in redeeming us.  It allows us to see sin as something visible on the outside, and shows us that just because we are saved, does not mean we are perfect. 

When I read I become emotionally connected to the characters involved, as do many people, and that is why it is very important to be choosy about what we choose to read.  I'll do another post at another time about some of the reading choices we make, but it is very important, cannot stress this enough, as a believer in Christ to stay away from the things that can hurt us.  God doesn't say, "stay away from that," because He wants to control you, He says, "stay away from that," because He knows it will hurt you and He does not like to see His beloved in pain. 

I want you to know that so you know that when I say a book is okay to read, it is because everything about the book brings you closer to God not further away.  That being said, I highly recommend The Circle Trilogy by Ted Dekker.

Also, I will never review a product I have not read, or tried for a significant period.  God Bless

My Fave Keyboard for Worship

For those who want to learn how to play keyboard or are looking for an awesome keyboard, here is mine.  That is right, I own this exact keyboard and love it.  Another cool thing of note about this keyboard is not only do I use it, but my husband has also noticed a lot of churches that we've gone to use it, and some of my fave worship leaders have this exact keyboard.  That sure made me feel good about buying it when I found that out.  Whew!

This keyboard not only has a lot of great sounds that you can use, but you can also do dual playing (which is one of my favorite functions).  Basically, I let the grand piano sound be my main sound and then pick another sound (usually Dream or Chorus) as the background and it plays with the piano sound going on.  It also has a nice selection of beats that you can play with.  That is another great function I use a lot since I don't really play with a band, and come on, there are just some songs that cannot be played without a good beat in the background.  This keyboard gives realistic sound, great beats, and is excellent for beginners.  The keyboard has a chord dictionary built in.  If you need to know how to play a G#m all you have to do is press a couple of buttons and it shows you how to play it on the keyboard via a little screen that has a mini keyboard pictured and the right keys to use highlighted.  If you play the key right you'll hear a little ding sound.  All in all, one of my fave purchases ever!
