Antidote to Idiocy

If you are as tired and disgusted and sad as I am to hear about the stupid and lewd behavior of our supposed leaders, here are some suggestions:

1. Go to joniandfriends.org and read any (or all) of the articles. Joni's story is unfailingly inspirational (and usually convicting!) and the various outreach ministries are busy doing wonderful things.

2. Google Robin Mark and listen to any of his songs on youtube. They all glorify God.

3. Go to the Orthodox Presbyterian Church's main website (www.opc.org) and read about our missionaries in Sendai, Japan, who have survived the earthquake and tsunami and are now working tirelessly in the relief efforts.

4. For something completely different, check out the Itty Bitty Kitty Committee and get a big dose of cuteness. (The link is on the sidebar.)

5. Turn off the TV and the computer and go eat a BIG piece of chocolate!

God is at work in our sad old world, but most of the time, His workers are under the radar screen of celebrity and publicity. Of course, we are all sinners and all need grace and mercy and forgiveness. I'm certainly thankful that no one is following me around and plastering all the dumb things I do & say all over the news.

Just for a while, let's focus on something other than bad news.

Today's Helpful Tip

If you want a sure-fire way to get your kitchen clean, cut up some cauliflower! The stuff shoots everywhere! By the time you have tracked down every little chunk, you will have wiped down your counters multiple times, and probably had to run a damp rag around the floor also.

Too Soon!

There have been back-to-school ads in the Sunday paper for the past two weeks. At work, we received our first Christmas card catalog in the mail today. Then I received an ad for buying year-end tax forms. YIKES!!!!! We haven't even had a ninety degree day here yet and already we are preparing for Fall and Winter.
