All The Hype

Just because..

I just changed the layout of my blog and I must say that I like it much more than the previous one. It may be pre-fabricated by someone else but it sure saved me a lot of time to put together and is pleasing to look at.

Ah, this reminds me of my most recent reading subjects (aside from my reading from The Complete Tales & Poems of Winnie-the-Pooh) - natural healing, eating organic and other things of the like...

It's so much easier to go to the store and buy something that someone else made in a factory, packed a bunch of GMO's and preservatives into a box so it can sit on a shelf for seven years without growing fungi, and sit down and enjoy the flavor of the enhancers that are going to kill us. Why would someone want to actually take the time to make something that is not only nutritious, but is possibly going to help with other ailments in their life?

Why are we so dependent on instant gratification? Because we are lazy and uneducated!!!

(Funny how this started out as a quick post about my new layout and turned into a rant by an aspiring health nut.)

Another Shot at This...

I haven't posted in a REALLY long time. I miss writing and am going to try to be more consistent with blogging about my thoughts and life - even if no one out there feels like reading it.

Here's a quick rundown...

Lately I've been filled with a lot of joy - more than I've ever experienced before. The blessings of the Lord are abundant and I'm beginning to see them in areas I never saw before. I'm so thankful for my relationship with Him.

One of these areas of blessings I've been especially focused on is my daughter. I just love the person she is. She is going to be a funny woman as she is always doing silly things and making everyone laugh. She listens to me as best as she can and desperately wants to please me. I'm so thankful for her!

Work has increased and I've actually had to outsource some work lately. I was able to pick my help so I handpicked a family member! It's definitely nicer to work with someone I know than a complete stranger oceans away.

Spiritually, I've been growing as well. In a search for what book I should study, the Lord sent someone along to open up the book of Romans for me and point out the three main aspects of the book: Salvation, the Mercy of God, and Service, each broken down by chapters and verses. I look forward to my continued growth in Him through this study. I will post more later as I'm able.

Sorry for the sporadic and short post (if anyone reads this anymore)...

Until next time...
