It has been a while since I have done any real creative or exploratory writing. In the last six weeks, however, I have had the opportunity to really "ramp up" these efforts again. You should know, I am selfish in my efforts--writing is cathartic. I have two personality goals in my life--one of which is to only have one project being processed in my head at any time. I have found that putting down the 'scatterings of my brain' "on paper" often allows me to set that project aside for a time. If you enjoy it, or get something out of it, that is great! But I put it 'out there' to get it out of my head for a time. In any event, I hope you benefit from my self-therapy.
Out of the
mouths of 'babes' A Kindergarten teacher was observing her classroom of children while they drew. She would occasionally walk around to see each child's work. As she got to one little girl who was working diligently, she asked what the drawing was? The girl replied, "I'm drawing God." The teacher paused and said, "But no one knows what God looks like." Without missing a beat, or looking up from her drawing, the girl replied, "They will in a minute." A Sunday school teacher was discussing the Ten Commandments with her five and six year olds. After explaining the commandment to "honor" thy Father and thy Mother," she asked, "is there a commandment that teaches us how to treat our brothers and sisters?" Without missing a beat one little boy (the oldest of a family) answered, "Thou shall not kill." An honest seven-year-old admitted calmly to her parents that Billy Brown had kissed her after class. "How did that happen?" gasped her mother. "It wasn't easy," admitted the young lady, "but three girls helped me catch him." One day a little girl was sitting and watching her mother do the dishes at the kitchen sink. She suddenly noticed that her mother had several strands of white hair sticking out in contrast on her brunette head. She looked at her mother and inquisitively asked, "Why are some of your hairs white, Mmm?" Her mother replied, "Well, every time that you do something wrong and make me cry or unhappy, one of my hairs turns white." The little girl thought about this revelation for while and then said, "Momma, how come ALL of grandma's hairs are white?" A three-year-old went with his dad to see a litter of kittens. On returning home, he breathlessly informed his mother that there were two boy kittens and two girl kittens. "How did you know?" his mother asked. _ "Daddy picked them up and looked underneath," he replied. "I think it's printed on the bottom." The children had all been photographed, and the teacher was trying to persuade them each to buy a copy of the group picture. "Just think how nice it will be to look at it when you are all grownup and say, 'There's Jennifer; she's a lawyer,' or 'That's Michael; he's a doctor.'" A small voice at the back of the room rang out, "And there's the teacher; she's dead." A teacher was giving a lesson on the circulation of the blood. Trying to make the matter clearer, she said, "Now, class, if I stood on my head, the blood, as you know, would run into it, and I would turn red in the face." "Yes," the class said. "Then why is it that while I am standing upright in the ordinary position the blood doesn't run into my feet?" A little fellow shouted, "Cause yer feet ain't empty."
"The art of being wise is knowing
what to overlook" - William James
Prayer is conversation with God--but don't forget who God is. "For the LORD your God is God of gods and Lord of lords, the great God, mighty and awesome, who shows no partiality and accepts no bribes." ( Deuteronomy 10:17, NIV). When you come into His presence, remember that: "Splendor and majesty are before him; strength and glory are in his sanctuary" ( Psalm 96:6, NIV) Oh, and don't even get me started on how people show up dressed for Church!

This
has floated around the internet and various e-mails for some time
now. However, I am still amazed by the
performance. While it pains me to promote anything
French, Jerome Morat's artistic display overshadows the fact he is
performing on a French show. Besides, I comfort myself with the fact that I do not know Mr. Morat is French...maybe he is just using them to further his career. Anyway, this video is posted 12 or 13 times on YouTube, I just picked one. Thus, without further ado, this week's Point and Click is:
