What is "IT" ?

I remember Faith No More asking the question "What is it?" The answer? "It's it!" Ah, yes, the circle of busy...

I'm posting this because it's something we all need to hear.

bible in one hand remote in the other?

As I was watching the news this morning I found myself praying over these two situations and wanted to make possibilities for help known.



In Burma the UN says that 2.5 million people have been affected by the cyclone--the dead line river banks (one reported lost count after 107 bodies) and in another area 20 people are living in one tiny house. The government of Myanmar has blocked foreign aid, but UMCOR (United Methodist Committee on Relief) is working with Church World Service on relief efforts and has established the following Advance number for the Myanmar emergency: Advance #3019674.


China's government is now saying that 50,000 people may have died in the recent earthquake. Even 76 hours after the quake, survivors are still being found. UMCOR Advance No. 982450 can help with recovery efforts.

Even if you cannot donate, please keep all God's children in your prayers.

4th grade musical

My daughter was in her fourth grade musical tonight. The program was called "Lights! Camera! Action!" and all of the students were dressed as various movie stars. Some of the parts were assigned but Kaat was lucky enough to be able to pick the star she dressed up as.

With a little help from her friends, she settled on Marilyn Monroe.


and in the best "7 year itch" pose that a 10 year old can muster...

man, oh man, I better get my axe because she is gonna break some hearts.

random thought

So I'm playing this game on Facebook that involves picking the correct definition for words--a vocabulary game (I'm seriously a geek...I'm a geek's geek...but cute!)

Anyway, I come across the word "tribune," you know the word so often associated with the phrase "military tribunal" a secret trial that does not involve a jury of peers.

So the definition for tribune that was listed in this vocabulary game--"tribune: n. any champion of the rights and liberties of the people: often used as the name for a newspaper."

Interesting.

Very interesting.
