God's Message For Me Today

One of the many applications that I love on facebook is MESSAGE FROM GOD thing. It gives me courage and inspiration everytime I receive one from God. I can only receive one each week and for that I'd like to share it here for the first time. Hmmm why I did not think of it before?

What you do today is important because you are exchanging a whole day of your life for it. When tomorrow comes, this day will be gone forever; and in its place will be something that you had left behind... let it be something good.

I may not understand what the Lord says for now..but someday,,,somehow I will get his message straight from my heart...

“Ace of Cakes” meets Hogwarts

Guest post written by Shirley Pardon

Once my grandson heard that an episode of “Ace of Cakes” was going to have some of the characters on it and they were going to build a cake of Hogwarts castle, he begged me to watch it with him. I had taken him to all of the “Harry Potter” movies before that so I knew that I wanted to see it too.

Watching the movies got me interested in the series and I’ve read all the books since then. Although the TV show aired a while back, I saw it again on TV a few weeks ago by myself. I remembered watching it the first time but watched it over again. Except this time I was having trouble hearing what they were saying on the show. I turned it up louder and was surprised at how loud my TV was once the show was over. I had heard from a friend about miracle ear hearing aids and decided to take a hearing test to see if I needed some.

It ends up that I did so I got fitted with some. I’m relieved that I just realized that I needed some and got them before I went to see the new movie.

A Pound Lost

It's gonna be my third day today since my "rice once a day" diet and I already lost a pound. Yey! This is what I expected and I am beginning to think that it really works for me not to mention I accompany my dieting with a 30-minute home workout using my exercise ball and 8 pounder dumbells. In fact, I am a little sore in my shoulders and butt cheeks right now because I did most of my leg exercises yesterday.

I have three weeks allowance to hopefully lose at least ten pounds. That should be enough time to give to myself, that I way I will be more motivated in getting rid of this unwanted fats around my waist. It's gross and it's making me self conscious. I also hope that the temperature starts to cool down a bit so I can go back to walking around our neighborhood, breathe some fresh air and see beautiful Fall flowers. I am looking forward to that.

Nostalgia and a Movie

Guest post by Gerard Mcdaniel

Finding something to do together as a family can seem impossible. It's hard to get everyone to agree on an afternoon or evening out. Going to the movies is one of those things we can get both the boys and the girls to agree to doing. It is for this reason that we try to go see a movie at least once a month. For this same reason we often spend the time and money on family movies, often animated , as those ones generally throw in a little humor for adults to enjoy, over the heads of their children. On the odd occasion that my husband and I can get out alone to see a movie, I usually prefer something scary or thrilling.

We have a couple of choices when deciding on where to go for a movie during the summer. We can go to our local cinema complex or in our area we are lucky enough to have two of the few remaining drive-in theaters. The drive-ins are a must atleast once every summer and you really can't beat the price at $14.00 a car load for 2 movies. If you have a drive-in in your area, the nostalgia alone is worth the trip, so pack up the kids and snacks, set your house security alarm, grab the mosquito spray, and enjoy the show!

Digital Frames

Using a digital frame eliminates the clutter in your space. It stores hundreds of pictures electronically that would just do the automatic slideshow for you on the wall once it is plugged. It is rather a practical way to be using instead of keeping bulk photos in your photo albums. Although digital frames are a whole lot expensive than those of traditional ones but I would prefer spending money on them for pictures instead of using the old way. One great advantage of digital frames is that you don't have to make a hard copy of your photos, you can just load them in a memory chip straight from your camera and voila, you're good to go.
