Question of the day

What would You do for a Klondike Bar?


Well, I would get in my car. I would drive to the store. I would grab cash from my purse and pay for the ice cream bar.

This Marketing ad drives me crazy. i mean.. really.. why would anyone do anything different for a klondike bar?

My Name is "I AM"

I was regretting the past and fearing the future.

Suddenly my Lord was speaking:

“MY NAME IS I AM”

He paused. I waited. He continued!

“When you live in the past with its mistakes and regrets, it is hard. I AM not there.
My name is not I WAS.

When you live in the future,with its problems and fears, it is hard. I AM not there.
My name is not I WILL BE.

When you live in this momentit is not hard. I AM here.
My name is I AM!”

It's a Sabotage

you know when you're trying to do something good, and someone else doesnt want to, but they dont want you to succeed either, so they try and sabotage you?? yeah.. this is my day today:

Today: I was drinking my slim fast breakfast
Neighbor lady: wow.. you've been doing really good this week.
Me: Thanks.. im trying. I'm very motivated to lose what I gained last year ( i mean seriously Motivated..i really want to get back where i was! not just for health reasons, but for Matt too!)
Neighbor lady: yeah.. i need to too!

Lunch: Im drinking my second slim fast.
Neighbor lady: good job girl! you rock (she's chomping on chicken teryaki and rice)
me : thanks :) ( i really just want to say, stop watching me!)

An hour later
Neighbor lady comes to my desk with a slice of cheesecake the size of a freaking dinner plate, sets it on my desk and begins to walk away.
Neighbor lady: Sally's Bday cake ! YUM I knew you'd want some! It is So good.. cheat a little today ok.. you've done good, you deserve a cheat treat!!
(mind you, a slice this big is wayyy more than a cheat treat)

Me: no thanks, i really dont want to go there.
I try and hand it back, she wont take it.
Me: I dont want to waste it, maybe you should see if someone else wants it?
Neighbor: no no, everyone is having some and already got a piece.. just nibble on it.. ( i thought I was done with peer pressure!)

Me: ( no words, I just dropped it in my garbage can while she looked on with her mouth open)

Thanksgiving Joke

A young Woman named Kathy received a parrot as a gift.

The parrot had a bad attitude and an even worse vocabulary.
Every word out of the bird's mouth was rude, obnoxious and laced with profanity.

Kathy tried and tried to change the bird's attitude by consistently saying only polite words, playing soft music and anything else she could think of to "clean up" the bird's vocabulary.

Finally, Kathy was fed up and she yelled at the parrot.
The parrot yelled back.
Kathy shook the parrot and the parrot got angrier and even more rude with some of the worst profanity she had ever heard!

In desperation, Kathy threw up her hands, grabbed the bird and put him in the freezer.

For a few minutes the parrot squawked and kicked and screamed.
Then suddenly there was total quiet.
Not a peep was heard for over a minute.

Fearing that she'd hurt the parrot, Kathy quickly opened the door to the freezer.

The parrot calmly stepped out onto Kathy's outstretched arms and said, "I believe I may have offended you with my rude language and actions. I'm sincerely remorseful for my inappropriate transgressions and I fully intend to do everything I can to correct my rude and unforgivable behavior."

Kathy was stunned at the change in the bird's attitude.
As she was about to ask the parrot what had made such a dramatic change in his behavior, the bird continued, "May I ask what the turkey did?"

HAPPY THANKSGIVING........ :-)

Take a moment

Well, such a strong and kind soul left us today. He will be gracing heaven with our Father. No more pain, or worry. No more cancer. He said he wanted to help the homeless and he lived just long enough to witness the out pouring of care and kindness his wish made come true. Stuff the Truck with food for the homeless ended up stuffing 6 trucks! 85k pounds of food donated in the honor of Brenden Foster. more than 200 ham and cheese and pb and j sandwiches were handed out across Seattle. He saw it all, and thought it was awesome. yesterday was the big Stuff the Truck drive. Brenden was excited to see what would happen, and he did. However, now that his wish came true, he was ready to go. And so Brended went, this morning. I am so touched by this child. My heart aches for his family to lose such a beautiful soul who touched so many, to bring out such compassion and humanity in perfect strangers. How can you love someone you never even met? my heart is sad to lose him today. What a brave and gracious child. I take comfort in knowing he was so collected and peaceful in the last weeks, and understood his time was short. and what did he do with his short time? thought of others. wished for people to help those less fortunate. He has inspired me. He has made me see my worries are small in comparison. My pain is bearable. and to love life while you have it. Which is what he said "my time is coming, but until it comes, im going to have fun" To be peaceful and help others. He said he is going to keep doing good works in Heaven. I think I believe him :)

Update

Amazingly Brave and Compasionate

So, those who know me, know i love a good article or story. I love happily ever afters, and I love stories of humanity. Well, we have a story of humanity, and bravery and compassion right here in our own back yard. Not a happily ever after, but an amazing kid with no time left, thinking of others first.

This boy is from Bothell. he probably wont live past this week. He had two weeks to live, and his two weeks were up on Wednesday.

His last wish? that he saw alot of homeless people from the tent city and thought they probably need some food and asked that people give the homeless some food in his name.

This story is amazing. It is so heart felt and you cant help but feel your own gripes and complaints, pains and headaches are so trivial compared to this boy, his terminal illness and his outlook on his life.

Read the story and watch the video. It will make you a better person just for reading it
