It was education that really gave me a high score and my romance life. If I ever fly first class or learn to ski or surf... hey, I'll be over-the-top.
I'm sorry to hear about your Aunt, Chris. My heart goes out to you, your mom and the whole family.
We all want to have our life mean something before we die. Have you put those thoughts in to specific terms. For what do you want to be remembered? May I suggest that you will be remembered by those lives you have touched along your journey. I imagine that in someway, you have made a difference in more lives than you realize. I know we don't feel that way at times, but I think it is true. I've been to enough funerals and sat there remembering the person who died. I often think about why they were special to me. Most of them, if not all of them, did have an impact on my life and usually it was very positive. Knowing that person, helped to make me who I am. I'm sure you have helped to mold some of the people you have known. The most important contribution we can make in this world is by being a friend to another person. You certainly have contributed much!!!!
I'm glad you posted that picture of yourself the other day. You have a wonderful smile. That smile is enough to cheer many many lives. You've certainly cheered my life at times and made me laugh.
I understand about the "wanting more." I, too, have never seemed satisfied and I don't sleep well at night, either. For me, I have found comfort in knowing that there is a God that cares very much about me. He understands me better than any person ever understood. He loves me inspite of my failings. He accepts me the way I am.... I don't have to be perfect before He welcomes me into His arms. If I need changing, He will take care of that part, too.
I think many of us feel like "bad" people from time-to-time. I think that is just that little guy with the pitchfork sitting on our shoulder whispering those lies into our ear. Just remember that God looks past the bad and sees our potential. He is saying to us, "Come to me and I will give you rest, peace, and forgiveness. I will give you eternal life."
I love you Chris... even though I don't know you except through your blogs. You have told me I am a "quality person." I know you are a "quality person," too.
Sincerely - Annie
Thanks Nena for your comments. Have a nice Sunday.
I really like the video. Is this a video produced by your church or a generic video that is available to any church who chooses to use it? Thanks Bill for sharing this video.
Very nice Mary. You have encouraged me to get myself together. I tend to get pretty lazy about how I am looking because I'm here all alone. Guess, I'll take the curling iron to my hair today. Again.... you are looking great!!!!
p.s. Would you check to see if that really big yacht is for sale? Just kidding.
Beautiful pictures. I agree with AJ... a nice place to be sitting and relaxing. I love being near the water. I also like boating, just don't have a boat. Thanks for sharing your pictures.
Great news concerning the furnace.
Things are better here on the ranch than at your place, but.... I am having light bulbs blowing out right and left. Pretty soon, I'll be using candle light. Hope you get your furnace fixed.
Hope all is okay Kelli. (((hugs))))
Funny how those lists grow. And, what would we do without cell phones????
I started blogging there again a few weeks ago. It was slow as frozen mud, but I decided to be patient and keep trying. I even revamped by profile page to be what I thought was sexy for an older cowgirl. Well, somehow, I got logged off. I didn't do it... it just happened. And now... no matter what I do, I can't get back on. I have followed their directions that say, "Request a new password." One hundred and one passwords later... I still can't get on over there. I feel a little bad about it because I still have a few friends at Blogster that never came to MyBloggers and I'd like to communicate with them. Oh well... I guess that for me Blogster is history and so are those few friends.
I would like to be on your Christmas list. Will you please add my name?
Thank you for sharing your faith. I really related to what you had to say. Annie :o)
At least we get out there and try to capture the moment. Maybe... someday... we will get that perfect pic. Yes, daboyz do a great job of photography. I always enjoy the pics they post.
