God is good.
I am broken by the sufficient grace and unconditional love of my Father. I am humbled by my sin and rebellion. I am grateful that God wants to distance me from my immorality. I feel so unworthy. Lord, make me perfect and holy because You are. He is good indeed.

in honor of the end of football season
Football FINALLY makes sense..........A guy took his blonde girlfriend to her first football game. They had great seats right behind their team's bench. After the game, he asked her how she liked the experience.
"Oh, I really liked it," she replied, "especially the tight pants and all the big muscles, but I just couldn't understand why they were killing each other over 25 cents."
Dumbfounded, her date asked, "What do you mean?"
"Well, they flipped a coin, one team got it and then for the rest of the game, all they kept screaming was: 'Get the quarterback! Get the quarterback!' I'm like...Helloooooo? It's only 25 cents!!!!"

latest read
I've been reading the same book for over a month now. It makes me very sad that I don't have time to do the things that I enjoy, but I found this paragraph so unbelievably encouraging. Just listen...
"If you are a servant of the Lord, let me encourage you to please, please, humbly watch that you don't slip into the same error I did. The Lord God jealously desires us for himself. He is the lover of our souls. If we ever put anything before our relationship with Jesus- even our work for Jesus- then we will be ensnared. If you are burned out, stop! Rest! Your lamp needs a constant infilling of the Lord's oil or your light will be snuffed out. Remember that, "You will be delivered by returning and resting;your strength will lie in quiet confidence.But you are not willing. . . . Therefore the Lord is waiting to show you mercy,and is rising up to show you compassion, for the Lord is a just God.Happy are all who wait patiently for Him." Isaiah 30:15,18

penguins rock my world
Flightless, yet gnarly: No, you don't need to adjust your medications. That is in fact a penguin surfing barefoot in the Falkland Islands.

Please join me in remembering a great icon of the entertainment community, The Pillsbury Doughboy died yesterday of a yeast infection and trauma complications from repeated pokes in the belly. He was 71. Doughboy was buried in a lightly greased coffin. Dozens of celebrities turned out to pay their respects, including Mrs. Butterworth, Hungry Jack, the California Raisins, Betty Crocker, the Hostess Twinkies, and Captain Crunch. The gravesite was piled high with flours. Aunt Jemima delivered the eulogy and lovingly described Doughboy as a man who never knew how much he was kneaded. Doughboy rose quickly in show business, but his later life was filled with turnovers. He was not considered a very smart cookie, wasting much of his dough on half-baked schemes. Despite being a little flaky at times he still was a crusty old man and was considered a roll model for millions. Doughboy is survived by his wife Play Dough, two children, John Dough and Jane Dough plus they had one in the oven. He is also survived by his elderly dad, Pop Tart. The funeral was held at 3:50 for about 20 minutes.

use caution :)
Graphic pictures of overdose victims not for shock value, but rather in the hope that you will have a frank discussion with friends and family about respecting moderation, understanding limits, and knowing when to just walk away.
Remember...this did NOT have to happen!
