Shifting Sands

Thursday, 25. August 2011 8:24

When I was a child, my concept of heaven was highly literal. I always had the view of a big space, in the fluffy white clouds, with my family and friends. I could play all day and eat whatever I wanted. As I grew up, however, my concept of heaven became less literal, most likely because I’ve grown to accept the unknowable and complex. It’s still a very bright place, but it’s much more mysterious and ever-changing. Most of all, it is a place filled with love. Not necessarily with the people or things that I love, although they can certainly appear (remember, this is an ever-evolving creation). But simply with the essence of that feeling that constricts your chest, makes your heart beat fast, and gives you hope.

Type A Friendship

Monday, 22. August 2011 6:18

My best friend is type A and very bossy and pushy.  She is well aware of her behavior but chooses to do nothing about it.  She has had several people tell her that she is not spur of the moment and that everything has to have a plan and time line associated with it.  I can’t stand it when things don’t go according to plan and she freaks out.  I usually don’t say anything because she already knows and all I have to do is tell her Type A and she knows that she needs to back down and stop being as aggressive.  Sometimes those little key words help and you don’t have to point fingers, just make generalizations.

Common types of fire extinguishers

Thursday, 18. August 2011 7:02

Based on the type of fire, fire extinguishers are divided into four categories. Fire extinguishers come in different sizes. Generally they are given certain numerical rating. This rating is based on the amount of fire that particular extinguisher can handle. An extinguisher with a higher rating can combat more fire. Class a fire extinguishers are used to diffuse ordinary fires produced from combustible materials like paper. It normally contains water and has a green triangle symbol. ‘Class B’ type of fire extinguishers is used to diffuse fires from flammable liquids like gasoline. It has a yellow square symbol. ‘Class C’ type of fire extinguishers is used to diffuse fires from electrical equipments.

Bridesmaid Dress Peer Pressure

Two bridesmaids in light sage bridesmaids dresses.

What is Bridezilla to do when her bridesmaids are arguing over what dress to wear to her wedding.  I had this problem a few years ago and I listened to the one that has the most experience wearing dresses. If I could go back and change my mind, number one I would not have had one of them as bridesmaid at all, because she wore clear shoes and looks barefoot, but secondly I would decide on the dress and just make them wear it.  Trying to be nice guy doesn’t always work in groups.  The groomsmen didn’t care and just wore what my fiancé picked out.

IC diet

Tuesday, 16. August 2011 5:50

If I could only eat three things it would not be that difficult for me.  I am on already on a very restricted diet.  One of the three things would have to be a drink . It would be A&W rootbeer over Ice in a cup.  It is my favorite thing to drink.  The second thing I would want to eat every day would be cheese because I need it for diary and calcium.  Finally the third thing I would like to eat every single day would be cheese burgers.  I dream of cheeseburgers. They are one of my favorite foods.

Cristo de Redentor watches over Rio

Friday, 12. August 2011 4:27

The most beautiful thing I have ever seen is in Rio de Janeiro. It is a statue of Christ.  It is not a very big statue.  The statue of liberty would tower over this statue but he sits on top of the highest peak in Rio.  He watches over the city.  When you are standing at the bottom of the statue no matter where you stand he is looking into your eyes.  There is a peaceful, calm and quiet feeling when you are surrounded by tourists.  It is like you have your moment with Jesus up high on earth.  The statue can be seen from all over the city.

Everyday is Payday

Tuesday, 9. August 2011 3:26

If I were to win the lottery, everyday would be payday.  Every year thousands of people play the lottery and only a few people win.  I would start a foundation for cars for women who have proven that they are working towards creating a better life for themselves.  I would not make this a single parent program.  I would try to find people who get up every single day and ride the bus to work; I would not be looking for the person who just stays at home not working already.  I would pick people to help that are already helping themselves.

Hard Work is hard to pass down

Thursday, 4. August 2011 2:20

Larry Burkett's Money Matters (1993) teaches C...

The most important impression I like to make is that get rich quick schemes and getting paid the lazy way just don’t work.  It takes hard work and true intelligence to make money.  There is no formula for getting paid while doing nothing.  There is no money Fairy. The best way to make money and live a fulfilling life is through hard work.  It takes a really dedicated person to get up every morning and do what is required of you all day long. I would like for my future generations to have the same work ethics and values that I have.  The future generation seems to just want to show up and collect a check, passing down hard work is a challenge when they feel so entitled.

Backyard Honeymoon

Monday, 1. August 2011 1:17

We didn’t really have our honeymoon in the backyard.  Our wedding was very expensive, so I did not book a honeymoon before we got the wedding gifts.  We decided beforehand that if we had gotten any money from gifts it would go towards our honeymoon.  Orlando is about an hour from where we live.  We went to Old Town in Orlando and the Rain Forest Café in Downtown Disney.  We did not do the typical Walt Disney World vacation.  My favorite part is the Rain Forest Café.  We are going to go there for lunch next month because it is so beautiful.
