You Light up my Life!

We were doing research on crystals in the bookstore and library yesterday. We found an interesting stone, which has a combination of colors: it appears white with black spots in the photo. This stone has unique qualities. It lights up the dark and conversely, darks up the light. It's a rare stone, called Merlinite. I would venture a guess that the name has something to do with the famous wizard, Merlin.

Do you love your job?

I have this job that I love, but I'm also like, when can I go home. In a way this is good, because otherwise I'd never go home. I would just kill myself doing this show.

Jobs are Fun

Do you work?

Work is either fun or drudgery. It depends on your attitude. I like fun.
--Colleen C. Barrett

If you have a job without aggravation, you don't have a job.
--Malcolm Forbes

Interesting opposing viewpoints, or should I say, attitudes?

Don't Worry

This is my favorite Bible passage. It is from Matthew 6:25-30.

Do not worry about your life, what you shall eat or what you shall drink;
Nor about your body, what you shall put on. Is not life more than food, the body more than clothing?


Look at the birds of the air, they do not reap or sow or gather into barns, and your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not worth more than they?

By worrying, which of you can add one single hour to your lifespan?

Observe how the lilies of the field grow; they do not toil nor spin, yet
I tell you that not even Solomon, in all his glory, was arrayed like one of these.
But if God so clothes the grass of the field,
which is alive today and tomorrow is thrown into the furnace,
will He not much more will clothe you? You men of little faith!

Do not worry, then saying 'what shall we eat?' or 'what shall we drink?' or "what shall we wear for clothing?'
For the Gentiles eagerly seek all these things. Your Father knows you need all these things.
But seek first his kingdom and His Righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.

So do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will care for itself.
Each day has enough trouble of it's own.

Or if I may make a suggestion, just leave that last sentence out altogether, or maybe we could say,
Each day has enough treasure of it's own.
