188 Views | Going on vacation! Feeling a little burned out lately. Not sure if it's the stress at work, the hot summer temperature, or a combination of both. I'll see you all in a couple of weeks when I get back. Until then, be good to yourselves, and to one another. God Bless!  | |

| Out Of The Blue..... |
Jul 2, 2008 4:59 pm
233 Views | ....an old friend called just to say 'hello' and to catch up on old times. Wanted to know how I was doing and what's been going on w/ me. It's a nice feeling getting an unexpected call. Nice to know that you are still being thought of every now and then.
How about you...do you have a friend, relative, or loved one that you haven't spoken to in ages? What's preventing you from texting them, or giving them a call, just to say 'hi'? Have a Blessed Day everyone! | |

| Ever Have One Of Those Days.... |
Jul 1, 2008 2:21 pm
306 Views | ...when you have so many things that you need to get done, yet you can't find the energy to get started? Well, I'm having one of those days. Thank God it doesn't happen often. I have so many things that I need to get done, yet I don't seem to have the will or energy to start. Maybe I need a vacation or something. Could be the hot weather...is it just me, or does it seem to zap the energy out of you? Anyway, thanks for taking the time to read my blog...guess I should get started on my 'To Do' list...but first, maybe a frappuccino would do the trick!  Have a Blessed Day everyone! | |

| 7 Deadly Sin |
Jun 26, 2008 9:41 am
288 Views | Taken from Wikipedia:
There is nowhere in the Christian Bible that a list of the Seven Deadly Sins is given, although lists of virtues contrasted with lists of sins are found in certain books of the New Testament, such as "Galatians". The modern concept of the Seven Deadly Sins is linked to the works of the 4th century monk Evagrius Ponticus, who listed eight "evil thoughts" as follows (Refoule, 1967):
Gluttony; fornication; avarice; sorrow; anger; discouragement; vainglory; pride.
The first three of these sins, as Refoule explains, link to lustful appetite; anger links with the irascible; and vainglory and pride link with the intellect. Some years later, Pope Gregory I (Pope Gregory the Great) would revise this list to form the more common "Seven Deadly Sins".
Listings of the sins since Gregory the Great
Listed in the same order used by both Pope Gregory the Great in the 6th century, and later by Dante Alighieri in his epic poem The Divine Comedy, the seven deadly sins are as follows: luxuria (extravagance, later lust), gula (gluttony), avaritia (greed), acedia (sloth), ira (wrath), invidia (envy), and superbia (pride). Each of the seven deadly sins has an opposite among the corresponding seven holy virtues (sometimes also referred to as the contrary virtues). In parallel order to the sins they oppose, the seven holy virtues are chastity, temperance, charity, diligence, patience, kindness, and humility.
The identification and definition of the seven deadly sins over their history has been a fluid process and the idea of what each of the seven actually encompasses has evolved over time. This process has been aided by the fact that they are not referred to in either a cohesive or codified manner in the Bible itself, and as a result other literary and ecclesiastical works referring to the seven deadly sins were instead consulted as sources from which definitions might be drawn. Part II of Dante's Divine Comedy, "Purgatorio", has almost certainly been the best known source since the Renaissance. | |

| How well can people see in the dark? |
Jun 25, 2008 11:26 am
229 Views | | We think we cannot see at night. But given enough time to adjust, the human eye can, for a time, see almost as well as an owl's. Ultimately, as the amount of light decreases, an owl detects shapes after a human no longer can. | |

| Should you eat your candy quickly or slowly? |
Jun 25, 2008 11:25 am
276 Views | You will get fewer cavities if you eat a bag of candy in one sitting and then brush your teeth than if you slowly eat the candy a piece at a time all day.
Too bad it doesn't work the same way for calories! | |
