Cell Phone vs. Bible

Ever wonder what would happen if we treated our Bible like we treat our cell phone?

What if we carried it in our purses or pockets?

What if we flipped through it several times a day?

What if we turned back to go get it if we forgot it?

What if we used it to receive messages from the text?

What if we treated it like we couldn't live without it?

What if we gave it to Kids as gifts?

What if we used it when we traveled?

What if we used it in case of emergency?

This is something to make you go....hmm... where is my Bible?

Oh, and one more thing. Unlike our cell phone, we don' t have to worry about our Bible being disconnected because Jesus already paid the bill.

Makes you stop and think; where are my priorities? And no dropped calls!

36 Little Pieces of Advice

I found this "36 Little Pieces of Advice" while surfing around on internet and thought it would be good to share with you. It is something that we could look at often to get a clear thinking on life in general.

"36 Little Pieces of Advice"

1. Pray
2. Go to bed on time.
3. Get up on time so you can start the day unrushed.
4. Say No to projects that won't fit into your time schedule, or that will compromise your mental health.
5. Delegate tasks to capable others.
6. Simplify and unclutter your life.
7. Less is more. (Although one is often not enough, two are often too many.)
8. Allow extra time to do things and to get to places.
9. Pace yourself. Spread out big changes and difficult projects over time; don't lump the hard things all together.
10. Take one day at a time.
11. Separate worries from concerns . If a situation is a concern, find out what God would have you do and let go of the anxiety . If you can't do anything about a situation, forget it.
12. Live within your budget; don't use credit cards for ordinary purchases.
13. Have backups; an extra car key in your wallet, an extra house key buried in the garden, extra stamps, etc.
14. K.M.S. (Keep Mouth Shut). This single piece of advice can prevent an enormous amount of trouble.
15. Do something for the Kid in You everyday.
16. Carry a Bible with you to read while waiting in line.
17. Get enough rest
18. Eat right.
19. Get organized so everything has its place.
20. Listen to a tape while driving that can help improve your quality of life.
21. Write down thoughts and inspirations.
22. Every day, find time to be alone.
23. Having problems? Talk to God on the spot. Try to nip small problems in the bud. Don't wait until it's time to go to bed to try and pray.
24. Make friends with Godly people.
25. Keep a folder of favorite scriptures on hand.
26. Remember that the shortest bridge between despair and hope is often a good "Thank you Jesus".
27. Laugh.
28. Laugh some more!
29. Take your work seriously, but not yourself at all.
30. Develop a forgiving attitude (most people are doing the best they can).
31. Be kind to unkind people (they probably need it the most).
32. Sit on your ego
33. Talk less; listen more.
34. Slow down.
35. Remind yourself that you are not the general manager of the universe.
36. Every night before bed, think of one thing you're grateful for that you've never been grateful for before. GOD HAS A WAY OF TURNING THINGS AROUND FOR YOU.

Hope you have enjoyed this. Have a great day. God Bless You!!!

What's Been Going On

Sorry I haven't posted in a while. The last several weeks have been very busy. Several weeks ago I received a call from the Coroner letting me know that my Father passed away. So that week was in shambles trying to prepare to go to South Carolina where my Father and family is at. I had to go and take care of things concerning my Father. It was a very sad situation. So I was there for a couple of weeks.
I got back home last Saturday night. Hubby came back home a week sooner than I did. I have been trying to get back into the swing of things and trying to get my home situated and in order and still in that process.
Also a new semester started this week. So now I am also busy with classes and school work. This is my last semester. WooHoo!! So I am still in the process of getting things in order and taking care of more of my Father's concerns. I would appreciate your prayers concerning all this.
So this is what has been going on within the last several weeks. I do want to post more but we will see because I don't think many people look at this blog although I also blog as a sort of journal as well. I need to think of what type of things to blog about. If you have any suggestions or things that you would like to see posted leave a comment. I hope you all have a great week and weekend. God Bless You!
