Pinterest is one of my latest obsessions. It allows me to surf the web and keep a record of those images that speak to me. Like this wonderful Japanese building. Although I have never been to Japan I admire their sense of tradition and whimsy.

Kindle … The book killer?

I received my Amazon Kindle today via Fed Ex. It arrived less than 24 hours after I ordered it on the internet. Isn’t modern shipping amazing? The Amazon Kindle for those unfamiliar is a reader for electronic book. This diminutive device is any gadgetphiles dream. Small, lightweight and compact it weighs less than the books it replaces. It goes anywhere and can hold 1400 books. Take your library wherever you are. The controls are intuitive and easily accessible. I’ve already downloaded too many books to read and am hungrily looking for any other finds I might make on Amazon. One really cool feature is the ability to check out books from select libraries.

This is the first day of the rest of my life …

Broad Overview of Geography Relevant to Paul o...

The world of The Apostle Paul

We’ve all heard the saying “today is the first day of the rest of my life” if you’re a Christian that is more true than you may think. We awake every day with a new possibility of a personal relationship with our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.  I take much comfort in the fact that even if I don’t live to see another day I will live eternally at His right hand. I began today with a bit of a pity party but met with my pastor and was able to re-establish my link with my faith. His plan continues to play out.

I have spent some time today on one of my favorite sites, MyBibleStudy.com . This is a great site if your interested in increasing your understanding of the historical significance of the bible and to get others commentary on the various books and verses.

The following is one of my recent finds on the above site.

The Apostle Paul wrote the Prayer to the Ephesians while imprisoned in Rome.

14 For this reason I kneel before the Father 15 from whom every family in heaven and on earth is named. 16 I pray that He may grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with power in the inner man through His Spirit, 17 and that the Messiah may dwell in your hearts through faith. I pray that you, being rooted and firmly established in love, 18 may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the length and width, height and depth of God’s love,19 and to know the Messiah’s love that surpasses knowledge, so you may be filled with all the fullness of God.20 Now to Him who is able to do above and beyond all that we ask or think according to the power that works in us — 21 to Him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. •Amen.

It is an inspirational prayer emphasizing the power of God’s love.

It’s time to make a change…

I have decided to make a change in my life. Like all of us I have control over some areas of my life and not others. Iam comforted that there is a master plan that I am fullfilling and am confident that  His will will continue to play out. One of the areas of my life that I feel I can become a stronger Christian is to take care of  the body God gave me. Today is my first day of returning to being a vegetarian. I look forward to not only the health benefits of such a diet choice but am also happy that it is a more sustainable lifestyle. Maybe I’ll even lose a little weight.

Interview with Stephen King… What an splendid twisted mind

Stephen King, while not one of my favorite reads, is one of my favorite authors. He writes in the way I wish I could with, as he phrases it, no bullshit. He acknowledges that writing is work and approaches it with little of the mystery some would have you believe is part of the process. Writing is not just difficult but can make you sweat. As a matter-of-fact I think I’m getting a brain cramp now !!
