Calling All Writers

I'm ready for Christmas time! I want to play the music, I want to wear sweaters, I want to drink Hot Chocolate on a regular basis! I want Christmas.

Because of this desire to warp time I have come up with a plan. I need someone to write a script for my movie. It will be released in October and will be the "Movie of the Year" The critics will rave about it, everyone will love it and all the money can go to Tanzania for Christmas for the kids there. Sound like a plan?

The only thing I have is a tag line to promote the movie. No script, no director, no actors just a tag line. Here it is:

"It's NEVER too early for Christmas!"

Like it? I do. Suggestions on if it should be a comedy or a drama?

Help! Anyone?

The Truth About Guys

Let's face it. Guys are weird! We all know it-even the guys know it. This weekend Chad Eastham spoke at the Revolve Tour and said something that I really liked. He told the girls to ask themselves what their sign says. Are they a Treasure or are they a Target.

All girls want to be treasures. You would be hard pressed to find a girl that desires to be taken advantage of. No girl wants to be a target; yet more often than not that's what our signs say. We say one thing and then dress, talk and act in ways that only confuse guys making them see our target and not the treasure.

Maybe it's just because I'm a girl but I got some power from his talk. We are beautiful. We are treasures and we need to believe it and act like it. We are a little piece of the bomb!

Basically the message was, girls, you have to believe you are a treasure and treat yourself like that. Only then will a guy see that you truly are a treasure and treat you likewise.

Amen Sista!

Be Blessed!

For real

The word for the day is authentic. I love this word because it's so freeing. Be who you are, whereever you are. Be real. If we were real we wouldn't ever have to worry about trusting each other. We could know that what someone tells us is the truth and that what they tell us lines up directly with how they act and treat us.

I want to be real. I want people to know that I am who I say I am. Not only that but I am who HE says I am. HE says I am beautiful. HE says I am loved. HE says I am worth it and I believe him. I want to act that way in all aspects of life. May you be so blessed this week that you will believe what HE says and in that, find a way to be free; for real!

New Blog

Hey everyone. I just wanted to let you all know that I am starting a new blog. I will continue this one because it has become a sort of release for me, however, I have been convicted of some things recently that I would like to throw out there. I am going to invite my Youth group kids, and all of you, to read it and comment as often as you want. It is more on the serious side but I think it will be a great avenue to use to see what my kids think about some topics God puts on my heart. Take a look if you like. It's under the links section titled Convicted.

I hope everyone had a great weekend!

Be blessed!!!

I have AIDS

Well, I don't but a girl named Olivia in Africa does. I stepped into her life this weekend. For 20 minutes I listened to the sounds of Olivia's world and experienced some of her emotions. I waited for the results of the blood test and I was stamped with the 'X.' I have AIDS. Olivia has AIDS.

For 30 seconds I experienced hopelessness. No friends, no family, only an 'X' and a quarantined bench to sit on. I waited. I waited for a "clean" person to reach out and offer hope. Hope came and so did the tears. I listened to how Olivia's life turned out. She has chosen the road less traveled and has become an advocate for AIDS Awareness. She has started a support group in her own community.

My heart cried for her and so many who are like her living in the humiliation of this disease. Sin has caused such great pain for the children of God. I believe in the cause now. I only regret that it took me so long. Pray for the many many out there who struggle daily to see how a God who is good and loving can allow family member after family member to die in front of them of this awful disease.

For Clint...

While I appreciate the kudos for a great run of games, I could have done without the sarcastic 150 games comment. Lucky for you, dear one, I call you friend, thus entitling you to 12 sarcastic comments about the Astros a year. I am pretty sure your total has been exceeded but since I didn't start counting until right now you have 11 left. So my word to you young grasshopper, is spread them out, use them wisely and make them good.

See ya in a week!
