What's in the Bag?

We got home from doing errands this morning, only to find Kitty, Sheep, Bunny and Cow getting into trouble. It all started about ten days ago, when Becca left a little something for me. She told me to leave it alone and no peeking! Well...this intrigued Sheep and Kitty, in particular, who reported on Tuesday night that whatever was in the bag, sneezed.

I checked with Becca and she responded, "Did I forget to tell you about feeding and watering my gift? No wonder it sneezed. Please ask Kitty and sheep to check on "it", but tell them to keep anything they find out to themselves so you still will be surprised on Christmas." So...I relayed the message!

What happens today? I get home from doing laundry and I find Kitty and Sheep, Bunny ad Cow "checking on it". What's in the bag?

Speaking of Water....

I discovered this while picking through Blogs last weekend (I’m trying to learn what makes a Blog get on Googles “Top Blogs” list). Anyway…the video is about 3-4 minutes and really cool. If you can’t get it to work on youtube, then go to the web site.

Advent Conspiracy has been active for a few years. A small group of ministers started it (from different parts of the country) and it focuses on a very big, key point (which you’ll see in the video).

They do not collect money, but are partnered with a couple of groups that do raise money to address this one issue.

Just keep in mind…..

Car Industry Bailout: maybe $25 Billion
State Governments: maybe a couple of hundred Billion
Bank Bailout: $700 Billion
I heard a school district in the Midwest is going to ask for Federal bailout money: $????
An unjust war: Lost count

This one thing for the entire world: $10 Billion

Priorities, huh?

When you're an orphan, whose fridge do you hang your report card on?

Do we still continue to make our parent(s) proud?

Remember when you were little and got a good report card? Or a good grade on a test? Mom used to hang our simple stories of success on the fridge.


As I got older and became a young adult, the days of report cards and tests past and were replaced by performance reviews. I always sent mom a copy. Silly, huh? But I lived to make them proud. I worked to make them proud. I wanted them to be proud of me...the person they raised.


Do I continue to make my parents proud? Or do I do it only for myself?
