What is Your Christmas Wish?

Karen

ADDED: My Christmas wish? Thanks for asking. 🙂

I’d love for Dude to pass this math class so he can meet his three credit requirement and we can relax on the toughest subject for him and he can finally ENJOY his last remaining high school years.

I’d love for Kevin to get a job, fairly quickly, after everything wraps up with this company and it’s “officially” shut down.

I’d also love for Kevin to have at least a month off before he plunges into another job situation.

I’d love to get more website jobs for two reasons: the money (though I don’t charge that much because I do school websites and they don’t HAVE that much) and because I truly love helping the community out by providing useful information to both students and parents.

I hope Jazz continues to love music and I pray he walks away from high school with some amazing music memories.

I pray that we can find a peaceful existence with both our government, and fellow country men, for though I know there will never be “Peace on Earth,” at least, not until Christ comes back, perhaps we can strive to find a peaceful compromise until that day arrives.

Your turn.

Joke: Pastor’s Business Card

Karen

I saw this gem over at Birthplace of the Process of the Illogical Logic

______________________

A new pastor was visiting in the homes of his parishioners. At one house it seemed obvious that someone was at home, but no answer came to his repeated knocks at the door.

Therefore, he took out a business card and wrote “Revelation 3:20″ on the back of it and stuck it in the door.

When the offering was processed the following Sunday, he found that his card had been returned. Added to it was this cryptic message, “Genesis 3:10.”

Reaching for his Bible to check out the citation, he broke up in gales of laughter. Revelation 3:20 begins “Behold, I stand at the door and knock.” Genesis 3:10 reads, “I heard your voice in the garden and I was afraid for I was naked.”

Simon’s Cat: Hot Spot

Karen

This totally seems appropriate given I’m on the verge of crossing that NaNoWriMo 50,000 word line. I have to be honest here, if my cat did this to my manuscript and destroyed all of my hard work I’d …….

Wait. What am I saying? I would NEVER write out my story on paper; just the mere thought of actually writing makes my head explode. Never mind, this scenario would never happen to me. Whew!

Lucky cat. 😀

If you’re participating in NaNoWriMo, what is your word count?! You only have 48 hours to GIT ‘R DONE!

Twas the Month Before Christmas, Not a Christian was Praying

Karen

*Twas the month before Christmas*

*When all through our land,*

*Not a Christian was praying*

*Nor taking a stand.*

*See the PC Police had taken away,*

*The reason for Christmas – no one could say.*

*The children were told by their schools not to sing,*

*About Shepherds and Wise Men and Angels and things.*

*It might hurt people’s feelings, the teachers would say*

* December 25th is just a ‘Holiday’.*

*Yet the shoppers were ready with cash, checks and credit*

*Pushing folks down to the floor just to get it!*

*CDs from Madonna, an X BOX, an I-pod*

*Something was changing, something quite odd! *

*Retailers promoted Ramadan and Kwanzaa*

*In hopes to sell books by Franken & Fonda.*

*As Targets were hanging their trees upside down*

* At Lowe’s the word Christmas – was no where to be found.*

*At K-Mart and Staples and Penny’s and Sears*

*You won’t hear the word Christmas; it won’t touch your ears.*

*Inclusive, sensitive, Di-ver-si-ty*

*Are words that were used to intimidate me.*

*Now Daschle, Now Darden, Now Sharpton, Wolf Blitzen*

*On Boxer, on Rather, on Kerry, on Clinton!*

*At the top of the Senate, there arose such a clatter*

*To eliminate Jesus, in all public matter.*

*And we spoke not a word, as they took away our faith*

* Forbidden to speak of salvation and grace*

*The true Gift of Christmas was exchanged and discarded*

*The reason for the season, stopped before it started.*

*So as you celebrate ‘Winter Break’ under your ‘Dream Tree’*

*Sipping your Starbucks, listen to me.*

*Choose your words carefully, choose what you say*

*Shout MERRY CHRISTMAS, not Happy Holiday!*

Please, all Christians join together and wish everyone you meet MERRY CHRISTMAS!!

Christ is The Reason for the Christ-mas Season!

Video: You Think I’m Crazy?

Karen

I very well could be.

But here’s the thing – I’m stressed. What with NaNoWriMo [STILL BEHIND], work and having to deal with family for Thanksgiving, I’m feeling the pinch. And whenever I feel the pinch, I get up and dance because it helps blow off steam.

Go on. Give it a try. I can’t be the only one BRAVE enough to get out of my chair and dance ………………. can I?!?

Cool song, right? It’s Jem and it’s called “Crazy.” You can buy her entire album (which ROCKS) here.

And me? I’m done. I got my workout in for the day. Now pass the Advil, won’t you?

Oy.

(Sorry about the graininess. I recorded it on the compact setting and HELLO, I only make a fool of myself once a day, I’m not about to go back and record it again. It’s probably a good thing though, this way, you can’t really see my dance expressions – which were priceless, I might add. Oh well, use your imagination. *grin*

And by the way? You totally CAN NOT criticize my dancing unless you’re willing to SHOW me you can do better. If you’re not willing to tape yourself dancing? Then hush. 😀 )

UPDATE: I see the video is blocked in some countries, probably due to using Jem’s song, or maybe it’s my crazy hip action – who knows. Sorry about that. But don’t worry, you’re not missing much, trust me.
