Prayer Warriors

Just had to tell y'all about the new "Prayer Warriors" at the bottom of the page. If ever you need a prayer, please post a comment and I will be happy to add a prayer for you or someone you care about. If you don't want their name shown, you can just say "M" for Mary or make up a name. God knows who she is. And for all you prayer warriors out there, please check the prayer warriors space at the bottom to add these kind folks to your prayer list. This list will change daily as they are updated, so please do keep me updated, so I can update everyone else.

Thanks!

God Speed!

CELL PHONE ABUSE?

People on their cell phone while driving their car, or shall I say "attempting" to drive while talking on their blasted cell - that drives me CRAZY! No longer can people walk and chew bubble gum at the same time, apparently.

At the grocery store, this young mother is walking down the aisle while talking on her cell with her 5 children in tow. She's not watching them. She's not listening to them. She's too busy with her cell phone conversation. The lady working the register actually speaks to the lady with the cell surgically attached to her head and, of course, gets ignored, because the cell conversation is more important. I watch this woman and never does she even look at her children or the clerk. She continues on with her cell conversation as she runs her credit card through and ignores everything else going on around her.

Do you ever feel like smacking someone upside the head? Well, I certainly do. I see these people on their cells, while checking out at the grocery store; even going through the drive-thru at the fast food restaurants and they actually have the gall to scream out, "Just wait!" or they hold up a finger as if to motion "one minute." Were these people raised by wolves? No. Wolves teach their pups better manners.

And the whole bluetooth thingy. Half the time, you can't tell if they are talking to you, talking through their bluetooth, or talking to themselves. Are they bonkers or are they on their bluetooth?

Do I have a cell phone? Well, yes. I believe I got one while I was pregnant with my daughter 8 years ago, at the constant begging and pleading of my dad. I didn't really think I needed one. I don't use it a lot. It's mostly for emergencies, business calls and the occasional personal call. I can think of a million things I'd rather do than talk on the phone and most of my family and friends know this. I also don't take all of my calls. Most of the time, when I'm in a public place, I reject the call and it forwards to voicemail.

Wow, you know, people would really lose it if all the cell towers went down, now wouldn't they? Oh my! What would they do with their time?! Would they actually have to carry on conversations with other people standing right beside them? What would become of the world? Probably become a nicer, kinder, more caring world.

What do you think?

Happy Thoughts

Do you ever get down and out? Going down the dark road of despair? Need a little pick me up? I found this cool site that emails you daily and reminds you to jot down 5 happy thoughts.

It's called http://www.butterbeehappy.com/.

It's a nice place to go when you are down in the dumps, focusing on the negative and feel you have nothing to be happy about. Just click on the reminder link they send you and get redirected to focusing on the positive.

Everyone has at least 5 things to be thankful for, right?

Examples, if you need them would be:
(1) you have good health;
(2) your family has good health;
(3) your dog has good health;
(4) your pet rock has good health;
(5) you are employed;
(6) your spouse is employed;
(7) your kid got an A in math;
(8) you did not experience a drive-by shooting today;
(9) you have a friend (You do, ya know. You always have me.);
(10) you did not get beat up today;
(11) you do not have a toothache;
(12) your car was not stolen;
(13) you have a roof over your head;
(14) you are still alive. (That actually is a blessing, even if it seems a bit disguised right now).

Oh, I could go on and on. Just trying to help you out with ideas in case you can't think of anything positive on any certain day. If you need more help, just send me a comment and I will forward you tons of ideas.

So, sign up for the daily reminders so you can jot down 5 happy thoughts per day and it's bound to cheer you up, if you are in need. I'm pretty happy (these days, anyway) but I jot down my happy thoughts every day, just to keep me focused on the positive. It's always better to think of what good things are in your life than the alternative. Keeps you on the road to prosperity and of love and your glass will always be overflowing rather than half empty or drained dry. Kind of gives you a warm fuzzy feeling, now doesn't it?

Have a lovely, happy filled day!

HOW MANY ATTEMPTS DOES IT TAKE FOR A BLONDE TO ESTABLISH A BLOG NAME?

Yes, first of all, I am blonde. A natural blonde. Dumb? No. A little slow sometimes? Perhaps. Let me tell you how long it took me to come up with a name for this blog. I started with frogblog, since I like frogs but mostly because it stands for "Fully Rely On God," which I think is cool and is a true statement for me. I am not some religious fanatic by any means. Actually, I'm not what I would consider religious at all. I'm not about a religion, nor do I just study or believe there is one true religion. Simply stated, I believe in God and Jesus and that Jesus is the only ticket to Heaven. I try to better my life daily in honor of the Big Dudes upstairs and the betterment of my family and people I surround myself with.

I digress. Sorry 'bout that. My next attempt was for wwjd, standing for "What Would Jesus Do?" You get the picture.

Next, you ask? I tried WOLF, since that is my favorite animal. I knew that would not be available but a girl can try, right?

Om, let's see. I tried Crouching Tiger Hidden Chicken Bone, because I thought it was funny and when "Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon" came out at the movies (many moons ago), I could never remember the name of it, hence my attempted blog name. That was actually available, but a rather lonnnnnnng blog name, so...

Through another attempt or two at cupojava and I lose track...

I finally came up with 2 Cups O' Java, since it is better sometimes to have a cup o' java with a friend, which is why I'm here....to chat with a friend or two...

So, there ya have it, in the long drawn out drama that is my new blog and new blog name and in answer to the question, it takes a blonde about 6 or 7 attempts to establish a blog name. At least, this blonde.
