Day in History

Today is a day in history. Half of the country disagrees with what is happening today. As Christians if we agree or don’t agree one thing that we can agree on is that we have a big God. God paints the strokes of our lives. For those of us who voted for McCain, he could have had Jesus on his ticket and if God wanted Obama to win, guess what. That is what would have happened.

I just hope that Obama is able to get things done. I hope that he is able to bring back the fundamentals this country was founded on. I pray that his eyes are opened wide, as are his ears. I pray that he humbly takes the wisdom of those that have come before him. I pray that the people he is surrounding himself with will lower their egos and own agendas to come together for the greater good of this country that we all call home.

Today is something beautiful. Agree or not. This is a day that God created. These two men may be what this country needs.

The creative director

I go to a very large church. I am a follower of my pastors blogs. Joe's blog said to check out Brad's newest idea. So I did. You should as well. It is a heart warming blog. Here it is.

I had to participate. I went on a roll last night. I finished the list! But then we kept going. It is amazing.

Go Check it out!

I would like to give you a sample of what you will find.


949. My husband being able to let his in-laws be themselves.
950. Re-exploring a city you lived in for 8 years through the eyes of new residents.
951. The way your favorite jeans make everything just better.
952. Getting a great deal when it is BOGO time at Payless.
953. Sitting watching TV, and your dog cuddling with you like a baby.
954. Finishing a book and being really sad that it is over.
955. Looking at the photographs of your honeymoon and realize you are even more in love today.
956. Chasing your dreams together.
957. My husband supporting my dreams.

Forgotten Motto

I have forgotten my motto over that last few weeks. I have let life live on and got swept up in the stress, crankiness, and down right moodiness. I feel like I have not laughed until I cried in ages. I felt like I have stopped loving everyone, including myself. That is not who I am. I live - I laugh - I love.

SO what happened that I go all swept up in life? I let all the distractions do what they will do -- distract. I let family members take me away from what I need to do. I have let the decisions of others affect my happiness. I stopped reading- things that keep me focused. I stopped listening - to praise and worship, educational materials, even enjoyable music. I started listening to the negative trash that people eagerly flow from mouths of people I know and people that I don't. I let topics become conversations that shouldn't.

What can I do???

I can start again. Start reading - things that help me grow. Grow as a woman, a Christian, a business owner, a wife. I can refocus. Refocus by simply moving my work area to a place where I can concentrate. I need to take time. Time for what I need to do, what I want to do, take time for me and take time for my Lord.

People think that I work all the time. I do. I am a busy woman. I work a job with crazy hours. I own two businesses, I write and I scrapbook. That is a busy life, but I wouldn't have it any other way. I have goals. I need to make my goals happen. Sitting back and letting the world take me where it will is not the answer.

People may think that I don't have my priorities in the right place. That just means that you have not really looked at my life. What I do is rewarding and rejuvenating. I go to bed at night knowing that I did everything I could that day for me and my family. Yes I work for someone else, but I do that because I choose to.

I lost my focus. Now that I realized that all I need to do is manage my time and get what I need to get done during the day. That is the easy part.

So much to do and no desire

Have you ever had those days? The days when you have so much to do and you just don't want to do any of it? I have absolutely no desire to do anything today than sit in the recliner and be online. Could it be that I am losing over 12 hours of pay... I think I am up to 16 now ... for enforcing the rules. I think that is rather off, but when you work with the mental health individuals things happen.

Could I not want to get up and do things because the floor is so cold and I just don't want to put my feet on it? Could it be that my list is very long and if I just relax one more day the pixies will come and do it all for me? Could it be that I am just sad - sad that my husband had to go back to work and our business did not work the way we had wanted.

Could it be a little of all of those things? Could it be that I am letting forces I cannot control take over me? Could it be that I am not leaning on my tower of strength to get me through my days when I just want to hide?

Maybe instead of blogging about all of this I should just get up and do something. That sounds like a good idea. Maybe I should at least get my list and really see what is on it. I may have already done some of the things on it and I could just cross them out.

Maybe I should but some socks on and it would eliminate part of my reasons to sit.

It is time to get on with living laughing and loving.

Addicted

I have to admit that I am addicted to a new song. "Addicted" by Saving Abel. Here is what I find so interesting. I have become addicted to a song hearing the edited version. The only reason I know that I have become addicted to an edited version is because on the way back from Wisconsin today I heard it on a rock station in Indiana. I was shocked when I heard the different lyrics.

This prompted me to look up the lyrics. I already thought the song very sexual, then I read the real lyrics and it is SO much more sexual than before.

Real Lyrics.

I'm so addicted to
All the things you do
When your going down on me (edited rolling around with me)
In between the sheets
All the sounds you make
With every breath you take
Its unlike anything
when you're loving me

oh girl lets take it slow
so as for you well you know where to go
i want to take my love and hate you till the end

its not like you to turn away
from all the bullsh*t i cant take (edited from all the positions that we take)
it's not like me to walk away

i'm so addicted to all the things
you do when your going down on me
in between the sheets
all the sounds you make with every breathe you take
its unlike anything
when you're loving me

yeahh

i know when it's getting rough
all the times we spend
when we try to make
this love something better than
just making love again
its not like you to turn away
all the bullsh*t i cant take
just when i think i can walk away,

i'm so addicted to all the things
you do when your going down on me
in between the sheets
all the sounds you make
with every breathe you take
its unlike anything

i'm so addicted to the things you do
when your going down on me
all the sounds you make with every breath you take
its unlike anything when you're loving me
when you're loving me

i can not make it through
all the things you do
theres just got to be more to you and me

i'm so addicted to all the things you do
when your going down on me
in between the sheets
all the sounds you make with every breath you take
its unlike anything
its unlike anything

i'm so addicted to
all the things you do
when your going down on me

all the sounds you make with every breath
you take its unlike anything
i'm so addicted to you
addicted to you


I think it is a great song, but I definately would not listen to any version with a child in the car. The edited one is still very sexual.
