The Price is Right for Rosie

I think Rosie would be perfect for this- it would keep her busy and out of talking politics. :-)
She can use her 'people skills' in pure entertainment again. I wish our culture didn't take celebreties seriously on important topics just because they are rich/funny/beautiful/good actors/etc.

The Price is Right for Rosie

Dreams

Maria recently posted about her dream.. so I thought I would share one I had last night.

I will skip the confused jumbled part and get to the good part.

A bunch of friends and I were at a party of sorts in a house where there were some good and not so good things going on. I had come into possession of a gold coin. (Probably dreamed about the coin b/c last night before going to bed I watched The Bishop's Wife with Cary Grant, and he was an angel and gave one of the characters an old Roman coin.)

Well, as my dream friends and I came into a difficult situation at this gathering, I looked down in my palm and the coin's face began to show letters. I can't now remember what it said, but it was scriptual and was a message on how to discern that very situation and what to do/say. It changed 5 or 6 more times as the situation changed, and I showed it to two or three trusted friends, and they and I knew it was from God. Oh was a treasure, what a feeling to know God was guiding me directly like that.

Now that I think of it, the movie had a lot of influence on my nocturnal wanderings, as David Niven, the bishop, had a lot of decisions to make and the Cary Grant angel was sent to help him, but nobody knew he was an angel except the bishop. I know the bishop would have loved to share this with his wife, but could not. In my dream my faith-filled friends validated, so it was the best of all worlds... we had God guiding each step in some precarious social situations.

What a nice dream! And having Cary Grant in it was icing on the cake. I really like him. :)

(P.S. for those of you confused about the 'bishop' having a wife... it was Church of England. Boy, watching David Niven struggle with his personal life, his spiritual life, trying to build a cathedral, cowtow to the rich patron, and admit he had no time for his flock... makes me even more thankful we don't have married priests!)

Busy as a Manic Bee

Ok, time for a little venting. :0

I know I am out of step with a lot of the world, marching to a different drummer in a lot of ways. That is ok, and I have people on the journey with me.

I think I am sad because I feel I have lost some people important to me because they are so busy being in the world.

My lifestyle is much more laid back than many people. My guys (all three) are not social butterflies. I am a butterfly/moth combo. I love my 'out' time.. but really love my 'in' time, too. So part of my challenge is keeping me balanced.

But, sometimes I will see old friends who are so busy. I mean BUSY. I mean BUSY, BUSY, BUSY. Do you understand, I mean

BUSY! ...

...who are running so much and don't have time for lunch, or a cup of tea and are always stressed.

I know part of this is selfishness, because I want them in my lives. But I think it also relates to the comment I just posted back to Marie on my video game entry.... I wonder if the current culture has us duped? That we have to have the biggest, newest, best.. and that means experiences, too and we always have to be running and out there.

The current badge of honor-

'I AM THE BUSIEST'

Ok. I am through. I love life and to explore and go and do. I could probably use more of that than I am getting right now with my introverted family. :0 So I may come from an altered perspective. But I miss people and I also miss talking about deeper things then how busy everyone is.

Dog Mama

Now this was a nice surprise as I skimmed the Drudge Report today! I try to skim it and pick out headlines I care about, thus avoiding TV news, pundits and commercials. This is a great story! Yes those are baby tigers!
