Neat Quote

Quote from my cousin's wife's facebook status:

"All roads lead to God - as judge. Only Christianity leads to God- as saviour" - Mark Dever

A Noteworthy quote by C.S Lewis

Found this quote on a friends' page on facebook and had to share.

‘If the solar system was brought about by an accidental collision, then the appearance of organic life on this planet was also an accident, and the whole evolution of Man was an accident too. If so, then all our present thoughts are mere accidents—the accidental by-product of the movement of atoms. And this holds for the thoughts of the materialists and astronomers as well as for anyone else’s. But if their thoughts—i.e. of materialism and astronomy—are merely accidental by-products, why should we believe them to be true? I see no reason for believing that one accident should be able to give me a correct account of all the other accidents. It’s like expecting that the accidental shape taken by the splash when you upset a milkjug should give you a correct account of how the jug was made and why it was upset.’

C.S. Lewis

20 years old...

yikes! I know I'm not old but I sure do feel different. It's hard to believe 20 years has come and gone already. It was a good day spent playing games with family and just relaxing! Well, here's to the next year!

Another prayer I need to remember everyday (posted it last new years as well):

"Deliver me Jesus
From the desire of being loved;
from the desire of being honored;
from the desire of being praised;
from the desire of being preferred to others;
from the desire of being consulted;
from the desire of being approved;
from the fear of being humiliated;
from the fear of being despised;
from the fear of suffering rebuke;
from the fear of being forgotten;
from the fear of being wrong;
from the fear of being suspected.
And Jesus, grant me the grace to desire that
others might be loved more than I;
That others might be esteemed more than I;
that in the opinion of the world, others may increase and I decrease;
that others may be praise and I unnoticed;
that others may be preferred to me in everything;
that others may become holier than I
provided I become as holy as I should."

A prayer we should all memorize, providing we truly mean what it says.

and of course, the Chuck Norris fact from my calendar. They combined both today and tomorrow.

January 2 & 3 - "One man's loss is another man's gain. Most of the time, that second man is Chuck Norris."

Some Quotes

I was working on my Multimedia story for photojournalism class and wanted to find a good quote to put at the end of it, and ended up finding a few that I thought were pretty good!! Here they are

Laughter is an instant vacation. - Milton Berle

Always Laugh when you can. It is cheap medicine. - Lord Byron

If you would like to spoil the day of a grouch, give him a smile. - Author Unknown

Beauty isn't worth thinking about; what's important is your mind. You don't want a 50 dollar haircut on a 50 cent head. - Garrison Keillor

I don't understand why Cupid was chosen to represent Valentine's day. When I think about romance, the last thing on my mind is a short chubby toddler coming at me with a weapon.
- Author Unknown

The first law of dietics seems to be: if it tastes good, it's bad for you - Issac Asimov.

This last one is the one I choose for my multimedia presentation (Which is about hospital clowns)

A smile costs nothing but gives much. It enriches those who receive without making poorer those who give. It takes but a moment, but the memory of it sometimes lasts forever. None is so rich or mighty that he cannot get along without it and none is so poor that he cannot be made rich by it. Yet a smile cannot be bought, begged, borrowed, or stolen, for it is something that is of no value to anyone until it is given away. Some people are too tired to give you a smile. Give them one of yours, as none needs a smile so much as he who has no more to give.

Cookbook quotes!

My mom has this little cookbook that I used for the first time (Making our traditional Christmas slush...recipe to follow) and I was reading through it while I was waiting for the sugar water to boil. There's some really neat things in there! Allow me to type a few tidbits.

"God never asks about our ability or our inability but about our availability."

"The Crown of the Home is Godliness. The beauty of the home is order. The glory of the home is hospitality. The blessing of the home is contentment. 'As for me and my house, we will Serve the Lord!'"

My Kitchen Prayer
"Man shall not live by bread alone
Our Lord and Master said,
But by the living Word of God,
Our souls must needs be fed.

So as I cook and serve the meals,
I will sincerely pray.
That I shall give, along with food,
Some Christ-like love today.

Now as I clear the meal away,
and wash the pots and pans,
Dear God, please cleanse my thoughts and heart
with thine own loving hands.

Man shall not live by bread alone,
So we do pray, dear Lord,
'Please make us very hungry
For a knowledge of thy Word.'"

A funny :)

"There's so much bad in the best of us and so much good in the worst of us that it hardly behooves any of us to talk about the rest of us."

"I shall pass through this world but once. Any good therefore that I can do or any kindness that I can show to any human being let me do it now. Let me not defer or neglect it, for I shall not pass this way again."

"One who has light views of sin will never have great thoughts about God."

"The woman who drives from the back seat is no worse than the man that cooks from the kitchen table." :)

"Lord, bless the food on these dishes as you blessed the loaves and the fishes; and as the sugar hides in the tea So let us hide in thee, Amen!"
