LOTD (Lyric of the Day)

I thought it was high time I update this spot... I've been thinking for a long time that I should add a new feature. Often I have a song stuck in my head, sometimes somebody puts it there (Don't you love it when that happens!!!! especially if it's "I'm a little teapot" THANKS JOE!!.), and sometimes it's from a CD.

Always a little behind the times, I recently got the new U2 CD "No Line On the Horizon". It's awesome!! Feels like vintage U2, just Bono and the boys. My favourite song is "Moment of Surrender". One line says, "I did not notice the passers-by and they did not notice me"...sometimes that's just the way we like it, sometimes not. Sometimes you're just aching for someone to notice that you're about to lose it.... Sometimes you're so caught up in your moment that you don't notice what is going on around you....it's neat when that happens during worship....

Last week I played an old Switchfoot album all week. "Oh! Gravity"has the most awesome drums intro, and I love "Awakening", oh and my most favourite "Twenty Four" from the album "Beautiful Let Down"(and that's an awesome song too....)

Leave me a note...what song were you singing all day?

Today is going to be a fun busy day. Last night we attended the Goods and Services Auction at our school. We raised over $33,000!!! This morning Joe is playing in a volleyball tournament, this afternoon Ray and I are going to Cirque du Soleil, "Alegria", and tonight we pick Craig up in Mt Elgin at a friend's house. They went to The Royal Winter Fair in Toronto.

Look for a new link soon! Joe's teacher Mr W is going to Kenya for just over a month, where his wife will be job shadowing at a hospital in Kapsowar, 6 hours outside of Nairobi! So...lets all check everyday... :):) No pressure Kevin!

Be Careful Where You Place Your Faith....

Another lesson learned the hard way. WHAT is UP with THAT?

I had a real let down the other day. It took all the wind out of my sails. And where do you go to complain? I talked to Ray about it since he could relate to my situation, having experienced something similar recently. But complaining doesn't change the situation....

In hindsight, I had invested too much of my self worth in the outcome of the situation.... Dangerous territory. That let-down was a good wake up call for me to assess the "WHY" of doing things....for recognition, had that really crept in there? It sure feels nice sometimes, but then a let down feels twice as harsh.

Note to self: Next time, when you ask to be an instrument, just do the job for God's glory. (I know! I just wrote about that a few posts ago!!)

Ok, I get it now....

FYI
A friend of mine, who is a health professional, mentioned to me that the only flu going around right now is the H1N1 virus. So if you have had sick people at your house or driven with them in your car, you've probably already been exposed.
The seasonal flu has yet to come.....isn't that nice?!

Kinda Funny

This summer I bought a couple of pepper plants. The only ones left at the nursery were yummy sweet yellow peppers. So imagine my surprise at what took place on my kitchen counter this week.

My lime greeny peppers didn't turn yellow but...orange and then bright red!!

The funny thing is I've been eating yellow peppers all summer when deep down I wanted red peppers and the nursery had run out of red ones already. Too funny.
