When we face a challenging situation, it's natural to turn to family and close friends for help. Sometimes, the kind and encouraging words from a loved one prove to be the catalyst that turns us back to God. It is important, however, that we carefully examine advice offered by those close to us. Their input may be genuine and motivated by love, but if a suggestion is inconsistent with God's Word, we should politely disregard it.
Sometimes we may seek advice that we want to hear rather than advice that we need to hear. As we consult our loved ones for help with momentous decisions, it's important to distinguish between our fleshly desires and biblical truth. Wise counsel is always consistent with the Word of God. The next time you seek an opinion from friends or family, take a moment to compare their input with Scripture. If there are inconsistencies, trust in the Bible and God's willingness to carry you through any difficult situation you face.
Assume what you publish on the Web is permanent. Anyone on the Internet can easily print out a blog or save it to a computer.
Windows XP has a nice little tune which most people wouldn't have heard. All you need to do is go to your \WINDOWS\system32\oobe\images\ directory and open the file Title.wma in a media player. It runs for 5 minutes and I think it's neat.
If you go to the website LetsSayThanks.com you can pick out a thank you card that Xerox will print and send to a soldier that is currently serving in Iraq. You can't choose who gets it, but it will go to a member of the U.S. armed services. How AMAZING it would be if we could get everyone we know to send one!

Every picture tells a story.
I wondered why the baseball was getting bigger. Then it hit me.
Possible story idea from the movie Notes on a Scandal, a dark drama about a flighty new teacher and the twisted veteran educator who preys on her young colleague. Dench is a scary old spinster who discovers that her school’s art teacher (Blanchett) is having an affair with a student, the older woman seizing on the transgression to extort devotion and intimacy from her new “friend.”
Work thoughts
Productivity drops after the first ten hours of a working day. So does judgment. That’s why people who work really long hours won’t (and can’t) admit that their productivity has dropped. When one works that much, the rest of the world fades away. One acquires a pathologically narrow perspective.
Alcohol doesn't solve any problems, but if you think again, neither does milk.
To love the significant women in our lives without any strings attached is an important part of showing them honor. No mother or wife should have to wonder if she’s living up to what loved ones hope and expect from her. After a while, she’ll feel trapped by the burden of unmet expectations, rather than accepted by those closest to her.
Every child needs a mother who wants her children. Nothing is more devastating to a youngster than to grow up feeling unwanted or unloved. A broken connection with Mom can haunt a child throughout life. This may hinder relationships with Jesus Christ, friends, and spouses. As a future adult, that child may struggle with a suspicion that he or she is unlovable.
Within the Cheyenne tribe there used to be a military society made up of the strongest and bravest men. They were fierce fighters- unyielding. The calvary called them Dog Soldiers or suicide soldiers. They often acted as rear guards, or sacrificial decoy, so the rest of the tribe could escape. Four Winds symbolizes the four directions of Indian life. The white and black facial markings are symbolic of the north, where winter weather comes from to put things to rest until their rebirth in the spring. The south is the direction of youth and the west is the direction of storms and water from which all life is given. Finally, the east is the direction of the sun which symbolizes the Creator who begins the day.
