#371 Seeing old people holding hands

It’s what life’s all about.

Seeing old people holding hands is a symbol of alifelong companionship full of knowing glances, inside smiles, and warm feelings in waiting hearts. As you watch them mosey down the boardwalk during the sunset you can’t help see the connection of two hands that helped shape the world. Those hands made meals,held babies, mowed lawns, and fixed cars. They held faces, went places, called friends, and touched stars.

They tried and built and grew together.They lived and learned and loved together.

Seeing old people holding hands is a simple expression of long lasting affection that fills our hearts with hope. They show us a future world exists of tied-together hearts and long lives lived with someone someone we love.

AWESOME!

Arthur Episode of Blogging

Right when i thought that Arthur had ended ages ago and that they were only playing reruns, I found an Arthur episode made in 2010. And...... it's all about blogging.
So this next video contains two of my favourite things- Arthur and blogging. Hope you enjoy!

Let's Take A Break

So I though that I should take a break from the Disney Lessons to make sure that everyone has had a chance to read them. I have found this great challenge that will be especially fun during the school year. Hope you guys feel God calling you to do the same. You can visit her site at http://www.francescamusic.com/.

Disney Lesson 2

Here's your second dosage of Disney Lessons:

I think this lesson speaks for itself, to any religion and to any gender.

So what does the bible say about Jealousy?

Jealousy is a sin that shows that you're being controlled by your own desires rather than you controlling your desires. The bible says Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy... 1Corinthians 13:4. 

The more we focus on ourselves and our own desires, the less we are able to focus on God or things that matter most. Being jealous indicates that we are not satisfied with what God has given us.  
You might not realize it but you, too, might be guilty of feeling jealous. You can be jealous of another's:

• Authority, power, leadership
• Abilities, talents, skills
• Personality, social standing
• Age, youth, maturity, experience
• Opportunities and privileges. 

Disney Lesson 1

Bet you didn't know that Disney was great at teaching lessons. Here's the first one:

Watch what you say, for the bible is very practical when it states:

But the things that come out of the mouth come from the heart, and these make a man `unclean'. (Matthew 15:18)

You can be skilled with your tongue just as David was skilled against Goliath. You don't need to come up with witty or clever, just let the holy spirit use you in ways you can't even imagine.
I went to a youth conference 2 years back and the speaker there gave a very clever acronym. I go down that list and unless what I'm going to say passes the test, I try not to say it at all. Is what you're about to say:

True?
Hinder or hurt?
Inspire?
Necessary?               (I struggle with this one often)
Kind?

Think Before You Speak

Jamie Grace- Hold Me Video

So today I went to the Gotee Records website to find out that Jamie Grace had made a music video for the song I loved and bought- Hold Me. I'm not a big fan of Gotee videos because they're always out of place and not fun to watch. But I'm a fan of Jamie Grace so here's the video. Ha! Tobymac is almost unrecognizable.





Pass The Video and tell me so that I can check it out.

#175 When your footsteps line up perfectly with the black and white floor tiles

Brain, you´re funny.

Who knows what caveman electronsare firing you up on a daily basis? Something must have been programmed in a while back to make it so enjoyable to pop bubble wrap, hear frozen puddles crack, or stab those little buttons on top of the soft drink cup lid. Click clack,neutrons snap, brain cells buzz and smiles attack whenever those feel-good jabs start feel-good jabbing.

When your footsteps line up perfectly with the black and white floor tiles it´s like the stars are aligning for a quick little minute of fun. Perfectly avoiding all sidewalk cracks, squeezing through a door as it´s shutting without touching it, and walking onto escalators without breaking your stride all come close, but not much feels as good as Checkerboard Stepping all the way through that snobby lobby.

Let the front desk staff all stare in awe, drop their jaws, and burst into applause.

You just nailed it, my friend.

Right when it counted most.

AWESOME!

"Eenie Meenie" in Sign Language

I have mastered "Tonight" by Fm Static and "You Belong With Me" by Taylor Swift. I really wish I could master this song, but he goes waaaay too fast and that song is pretty hard. It is really fun to watch though.

Lifehouse

This band is so awesome. I heard them twice on Air1 radio. It is a christian radio channel i encourage you to listen to. I love that radio channel because the saying is the positive alternative. 
So they don't necessarily play christian music but they play christian singers and bands like owl city and life house. The main singer in owl city is a christian and the lead singer and bass are christian in the band Lifehouse. 
Here is a recent song I've heard that really touched me. Tell me what you think of it. 

FM Static- Sign Language

I am also learning to sign this song. This lady is such a good signer. Check her channel out!

Smacksy... and Science

I saw a link for this video on the blog SMACKSY. If you want to see the wrench duplicated skip to 1:25. This video is so cool!

Remember when...

I posted that really funny E-harmony video. If you don't, then check it out here:
http://jesusmuzic.blogspot.com/2011/06/funny-video.html 

Well, here is how some kids reacted to it. So funny.

Proms and grads are all this week. I am not at the age of attending any but my sister will be graduating today. If I were to wear a prom dress, this is what it would look like:

OR maybe this one if I'm feeling a bit adventurous.
As you can see, I love the colour blue.
But what if I try another colour?

This is a bit less fancy but a lot of chic.

I can stick to the green colour but if I go
DARKER
It looks a bit fancier.

Which one of these dresses do you like most?
