Don’t Get Used To It
I just changed the template on my blog to a new one, however, I’m not totally pleased. So, my techno-savvey Dad is going to build me one (technically, he’s the one who changed the template). So, keep checking back- one day you might be totally surprised!

Creative Rebellion?
My mom sent me this video via email today. She saw the story on some news channel and thought I might appreciate it. This poor guy had his Taylor guitar destroyed by baggage handlers on his United Flight. After a year of fighting the airline, they have refused to pay him for the damage.
I call it Coke!
Anniversary Reminder
It’s been a year since I started this blog. The name for this blog came from Deuteronomy 30:19 which says “Today I set before you life and death, blessings and curses. Now choose life that you and your children may live.” You can click the link above for a greater explanation of where that verse came from and where my life was at that point. As I reflect on the last year of attempting to choose life, and sometimes failing at it, I am reminded of the lessons I learned to shift my perspective in the first place. In light of those lessons, here is the “testimony” that I gave last year at camp on this topic.
Oh, so true
I just read this on Heart toHeart with Holley. Her words are so true! I thought I’d share:
Welcoming a New Week
Swirling around me are sounds of a new week beginning. I hear the whoosh-whoosh of the dishwasher, the tumble-tumble of the dryer. Outside twilight descends and closes out the weekend like curtains on a stage.
Already I feel the rush, don’t you? My heart beats faster, my mind races, my hands move from one task to the next. This is to be a day of rest and yet by the end of it I’m usually pushing the pedal to the floor and zipping into another week.
I look out my window and see my trees are also getting ready. One has a calendar, another a Blackberry, a third is already checking e-mail.
“No, no,” you say, “such foolishness!” And of course it is, because trees don’t plan their days. They don’t stress out about meetings. They don’t worry over their limbs.
And, I’ll let you in on a secret, they grow anyway.
That is what I fear, I think–that if I stop all this madness, this rushing, that I will become small and stale. I will stay the same forever.
But this is not true, the trees know. For growth comes from roots and not leaves. It comes from being grounded firmly in the soil of God’s love and then clinging to Him, drawing from Him, dwelling in Him each day.
So I pause, whisper a prayer, and begin anew. Surprised, I find that when I empty my heart of all I carry I’m free to lift my arms toward heaven.
We stand there for a moment, the trees and I, hands raised in welcome and feeling as if this week we might just touch the sky.
