Now that I'm unemployed, I find myself sitting around all day pumping my farms, zoo, fish tanks and mafia gang for money. What am I talking about? On FaceBook, I've now joined FarmVille, Farmtown, this cool online zoo thing at Birthday Cards, Happy Aquarium, FishWorld, and Mafia Wars. I'm most obsessed with the zoo and FarmVille. The thing is, you have to put a lot of effort in to make enough money to grow your farm/zoo/tank/gang -- visiting other people's farms and etc, doing little things like shaking trees at the zoos for coins. But it keeps the boredom at bay.

I'm also reading a great book called "The Lovely Bones" by Alice Sebold, which has apparently also been made into a movie that I shall have to rent once I finish the book. It's narrated by a 14 year old girl who was raped and murdered by a man in her neighborhood, and she's looking down from a very unusual heaven and watching her family and the investigation into her death. It sounds morbid but it's not -- I'm loving it. The girl's view of the world is quirky and always interesting. I'm only on page 47 so far but I recommend it.

My tummy is getting better, btw. I only eat one Tums upon waking, and none during the rest of the day.

On the job front, that job opportunity seems to have fizzled. She called twice (both times after 5 pm, oddly) and I called her back twice, and there's been nothing since. I guess I blew that one, but I'm okay with it.

I must go check on my zoo! Later!

A fashion photographer took a series of gorgeous photographs in Italy to correlate to the parables of Jesus. They are an interesting juxtaposition of ancient and modern, with Jesus pictured interacting with people in modern dress in present-day places. Here is a link to my favorite one -- please check it out, as I think it will encourage many of you:

This girl defended herself against getting raped and was also trying to protect her young niece. She stabbed a man in self-defense and now the Judicial system wants to hang her for it.

Thanks...

Your Amazing Mental Ability


You can stop time. Unfortunately, you're still subject to it, so you can't do much while time is stopped.

If you're like me, sometimes you wrestle with that naughty little imp named Cynicism. I find I do so especially at this time of year, when I'm in the mall with 10,000 other harried individuals, and I find a perfect little white Jesus (yes, I'm caucasian, but, hello, Jesus did NOT have lily-white skin and blue eyes!) lying in a manger just a few feet from a fat man in a red suit and a red-nosed reindeer who has obviously had too much spiked eggnog to drink.

It's times like these when I have to take a deep breath and remind myself that the reality of Ben Bridge commercials and hearing "Grandma Got Run Over By a Reindeer" 20 times in one day on any station does not have to be MY reality. These and a thousand other soul-stealing things vie for my attention each day, trying to convince me that I need this diamond-studded tennis bracelet (I still don't own one) or that I'm totally not with it if I don't know who Shakira is (don't know, don't care).

And it's times like these when my deep loneliness overtakes me and a little voice whispers that God must not love me as much as he loves that happy couple sharing a kiss under some mistletoe. But then I went and saw the movie "The Nativity" and I was reminded of how much God loves us all. I cannot do this movie justice with my words. It might not affect you as it did me; for me, for the first time I felt what it would have been like to be Mary, so young and yet faced with a pregnancy she could be stoned for, yet stubbornly trusting God to bring it all right so that her son could save her people from their sins. I realized what it must have felt like to be Joseph, in love with and engaged to a girl who suddenly becomes pregnant, and you know the child isn't yours because you have remained pure. I'm going to leave it at that, though there was so much more, because I don't want to ruin it for you. Please go see it, and cherish the true meaning of Christmas in your heart. May God bless you and keep you safe, during this holiest of seasons.

Check out this web site, http://www.letssaythanks.com

You can pick out a thank you card and Xerox will print it and send it to a soldier that is currently serving in Iraq. It's FREE! I did it and it was quick, easy and fun. You can't choose who gets it, but it will go to a member of the armed services. Surely you can sacrifice a few moments of your time to bless someone who may sacrifice his or her life for you and yours!




You have turned my mourning into joyful dancing. You have taken away my clothes of mourning and clothed me with joy...
