Let's see.... do I have any words of wisdom today? Nope.
...any words of non-wisdom? Nope.  



2 out of 7 ...
I had 7 things on my 'to do' list for today. I did 2 of those.
If I were getting paid for running this life I'd be fired.  

Can anyone imagine having 50 million dollars at their disposal?

The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation today announced that it will commit $50 million to support
the scale up of emergency efforts to contain the Ebola outbreak in West Africa

Books...

(haha - bet you were hoping for something more juicy (Frank ) )
I'm always wanting to buy books.  If the library had what I wanted, and I could get to the library,
I would spend much time there. 

Saw a question on the front of a magazine that came in the mail today...
Has God Lost Control?
and my immediate thought response...
No, God is in control.
(I just hope He spares me the worser parts of His plan)

I don't care if worser isn't a word, I used it anyway. 

'into every life, a little rain must fall'

(.... but please Lord, not the flood !)

great night for sleeping.... the rain coming down, the lightning, the soft thunder....

G'night and sweet dreams all. 

and the rains came down, though the sun did shine

I always want to start making soups at this time of year. 

Ok, so I've decided to jump on the wagon and post some questions for you to answer, if you'll play. 

As a child did you dream of the day when you would be a grown up?
Do you remember what things you dreamed of?

Here is another good question I heard.
Why do you go to church?

Do you laugh when you are alone?
I feel on the edge of being a crazy person when I laugh alone.
I think laughter is meant to be shared.

just other odd thoughts:
Thunder shook the house this morning... don't often get that
I think I should put my movie on... it's just that kind of day... (got a movie from Netflix yesterday)
What to do first... eat, play, watch... (hehe get the allusion?)

also taking a trip back in time... watching old episodes of Cheers...
Who remembers the TV show Cheers?
Show of hands....  

'My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge'... (Hosea 4:6, Job 36:12)
for not immersing themselves in the Word of God.

a time such as this
prepare your hearts
put on the full armor of God (read Ephesians 6)
'My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge'

We hear now on all sides the term "Robber Barons" applied to some of the great capitalists. ...
The old robber barons of the Middle Ages who plundered sword in hand and lance in rest were more
honest than this new aristocracy of swindling millionaires.
—Lida F. Baldwin, quoting the August 1870 issue of The Atlantic Monthly,
writing in 1907 about how little business had changed in 35 years.

"if you are too busy to spend time with God in prayer, then you are busier than God
intends you to be! ”
