ChaLean Extreme Guide

This is the newest weight loss effort I have. After buying it off ebay and having the Weight Loss Guidebook be a mere pamphlet rather than a book, (feeling a little ripped off here) I was left wondering what exactly I was to do. Then I searched online for my answer. I was actually looking for a replacement book, but couldn't find one. I found a blog with the list I have below and one similar on Yahoo answers. It didn't seem right to keep this to myself as I saw so many people looking for the same thing.

Our Forecast for Spring and summer 2009 in Wisconsin

"Typically in weak La Niñas you do have some higher chances for above-normal precipitation, but the correlation is not very strong," J.J. Wood of the National Weather Service said. "For this year -- compared to last year -- I wouldn't say there is less of a chance, but more of equal chance of it being dry, very dry or very wet or in-between, more in the normal range."

I guess this means all we know for sure is that...well...ummm...
It won't be just wet?
Why not just say, "We have no idea!"?

Obama and Oprah's World

I ran across a couple videos this morning that quite honestly make me nauseous.
While none of it surprises me, it is none-the-less sickening.
Seems that Satan has two of the most influential people in the US doing his bidding while lazy Christians can't get away from the TV or whatever to share His word with people to make the only kind of "Change" that really matters. People make excuses by saying they don't have the gift...The great commission isn't to the gifted, it's to all Christians and it's about time Christians wake up. I know that good-hearted people say "we need to pray, we need to fast" and yes, we should (I don't know about the fasting, but it sure wouldn't hurt!) but the verse that comes to my head is

"How then will they call on Him in whom they have not believed? How will they believe in Him whom they have not heard? And how will they hear without a preacher?"
and then...
"Go into all the world and preach the gospel, immersing in the name of the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I commanded you"

These verses are written to everyone who believes Christ died for their sins. We need to get out there and DO something. Well, first, we need to know the gospel ourselves and then stop being ashamed of Him and tell everyone!





If you know the one way out of a burning building you'd scream "it's this way!!" but when it comes to the gospel, we say "oh, they're ok, if they want to know, they will seek and find..." You need to plant the seed...then God'll water it...

There is also an excellent post along with another video which is in regards to Oprah's church (I didn't know she had a church...maybe it's not her church, but she surely promotes it...) at The Sacred Calling.

God is love

At our local airport, our church has permission to witness, handing out tracts. I had a really nice conversation with a gentlemen, kind of makes you bubbly when people talk to you. Brightens the day. It's like after standing there for an hour offering tracts without anyone stopping to talk giving you a boost of caffeine to keep you going for another hour or so!

And then, I said to a lovely couple walking by, the husband pushing the stroller while the mom was holding an absolutely cute and cuddly baby, "Would you like a free book about Jesu---". I never got the "s" out before she cranked her head back and contorted her once pretty face into that "look". The look of disgust, putrid disgust of "how could you possibly say that name out loud. How dare you?"

For a moment
I think,
"that's the look on God's face right now"
as He peers down at her lost soul (an assumption on my part)
and then
I realize
no,
His face
would have
a tear
running
...d

it
with her name on it.

Not invited...

*sigh*
I went to read one of the blogs I like to read and blogger said I couldn't because I wasn't invited...
Alisun??
Did I make you mad?

*sigh again*

One time I posted on a Christian woman's blog and she ignored me...Didn't even approve my post...Just trying to figure out why a person would have a public blog and then not want to interact with people who read it...What's the point? Maybe I am just missing something...

Ok, done griping...no biggie... I love the comments, the interaction so keep bringin' it!

Oh, hey!!
Do you like the new blog layout? I tried three column ones before and could never get them to work without losing half my widgets, but I figured it out!!

HA, have that, you uncooperative 3-column layout!!

feeling frisky today... :)

Evolution

This morning I was reading a sort of devotional focusing on evolution. It was talking about the population of the earth. If the population increased at the same rate as has been observed and recorded back to one million years ago, when the first ape man had supposedly evolved, the population of the earth would exceed the stars in the sky, even the atoms in the entire universe.

Anyway, it got me thinking about how atheists sometimes ask where the first Biblical descendants got their wives. I know they married their sisters, aunts, nieces, whatever, but then I thought, "What an ironic question!" I mean, wouldn't the same question apply to evolution? Where did the first ape get his wife? Why would an atheist who doesn't believe in God or His rules bring up the morality of incest into the equation? No longer is it that one paramecium in a pond evolved into such a complex animal as an ape, but TWO did. At the same time and the same rate to be able to procreate! I had a hard enough time believing only one evolved, but now to understand there had to have been two at the same time! That is just insane! Incomprehensible and highly unbelievable!



PS-I don't mind comments, but keep it civil. Anytime I mention something contrary to popular belief people get mean-evolve claws or something. (not usually any of my lovely "regulars")

I've been healed!!!!

Seriously.
I wouldn't lie.

My surgery was canceled.
The cyst was gone.

Monday, I was sort of freaking out because I wouldn't find it. I called the doctor's office, assuring them I wasn't exactly insane. I just couldn't see why I should get cut open for something I wasn't even sure was there! So they told me to come in on Wednesday. Well, by Monday afternoon I was positive4 I had found it again. Afterall, when my lovely son pushed there, it hurt! SO I called the doctor again, once again assuring them (and myself) that I was not insane. They said for the sake of my sanity, I should see the doc anyway on Wednesday. So I went in. Wednesday morning I couldn't find it again. By now I figured if I wasn't insane already, I surely was on my way! The nurses know me by name there...I don't know that I think that is a good thing under the circumstances...Anyway, the nurses and assistants all wanted to feel it and see if they could find it. No one could, including the doc. He assured me it would be back and that I should call him when it does. I like to think that it won't come back. The Lord took it away. I suppose if He wants to put it back, He can and will, but I hope He won't.

Now...Tuesday I go to an ENT for the cyst in my neck...so if the Lord takes that one away, I'll be estatic! Maybe ya'all can pop up a prayer or two on my behalf?
