Song in My Heart Today!

Today has been such a great day!

I love a clean house, I LOVE when we have my son's friends over!

I love to make breakfast for them!

I have a great book to read!

And I have been playing channel 826 (we have DirecTV),

and it plays pop/rock Christian music.

Nothing gets me like music does!

This particular song, I decided to tie-up my dial-up internet service

looking for the perfect You-Tube video for.

The things we do for love!

Hope you enjoy!

Hi, Denise! Hoping you feel better soon!

Cecily, music is IT for me also!

Hey Melanie Joy! That sounds like a great day. My youngest indoor camped LOTS of times. I think for his 8th birthday he got his own tent and it made like a circle. It would sleep like 4 kids and was really easy for him to assemble and take down himself. Sometimes if the weather was bad outside, I would let him use it in the house! What fun those days were!

Now he wants me to color his hair jet black with blood red streaks this weekend. I can't wait to tell his Dad. Oh the joys!! :)

Carole, Happy Days to you!

RYC, I get what you are saying about that author. I'll look past what's not my cup of tea, to get to the good stuff! Thanks for the heads up! It is nice to know going in! :); February 21, 2008 at 11:02 AM

What Does it Mean Anyway? "Free to Fly"...

Well, it's like this: Here are some of the Webster's Dictionary definitions of Free: a : having the legal and political rights of a citizen b : enjoying civil and political liberty c : enjoying political independence or freedom from outside domination d : enjoying personal freedom : not subject to the control or domination of another2 a : not determined by anything beyond its own nature or being : choosing or capable of choosing for itself...having a scope not restricted by qualification 7 a : not obstructed, restricted, or impeded ...Now, here are some of the Webster's Dictionary definitions of Fly:1 a : to move in or pass through the air with wings b : to move through the air or before the wind or through outer space c : to float, wave, or soar in the air ... a : to take flight ...6 : to work successfully ...Examples which apply from Websters: fly high : to be elated - fly in the face of or fly in the teeth of : to stand or act forthrightly or brazenly in defiance or contradiction of

What does this mean in my life? This means that in life we are meant to be free. While historically mankind has not always enjoyed the opportunity to fully appreciate what that means, we are so indescribably fortunate as to live in a time of the greatest spiritual, physical, financial and political freedom ever known. Freedom doesn't come cheap, nor does it come easy. But the best things in life don't come that way do they? As I write this I am struck by how this sounds like a political statement, and for me this is much more of a spiritual thing, but, same goes for that (political that is). Freedom doesn't come easy. And it's worth whatever fight you have to make to overcome in your life in order to live a life that succeeds. Now the questions is - what is success for you? What is your standard? In my mind what is needed is a definite target - because you can't hit and maintain a moving target. A stable, rock-solid, anchor with no variable, yet multi-faceted. Something pure, just and worthy. If you look at any web page of news you can see that our society is certainly lacking in this area. What a great time to live as a rebel! Nowadays to be a rebel, all you have to do is be willing to engage in the battle of life, while anchored to Christ!
