Look Up


What are you doing right now? Looking down maybe? I look down a lot during a days time. I find that most of the things that consist of a persons day require looking down these days...
- computer work
- computer play
- eating
- crossword puzzles
- reading
- changing a diaper
- talking to children
- weeding the garden
- checking the oil in the car
- writing a letter
- cooking dinner
- setting the table
- helping with homework

Have you looked up recently and realized how tight the muscles on your throat are? Try it, Sit up straight and then tip your head back and look at the ceiling. Close your mouth and feel the stretch on those muscles.

I find that as our society races through life and finds new technology that we are folding in on ourselves. Literally. We are losing our good posture, our eye contact, and our ability to face life with head held high. We slouch, and slump. We let technology take care of it. We sit, or lounge, we stay indoors. We are folding ourselves over into balls. Into little ME-Space, MY world balls.

Do you know what we will be doing in heaven someday? No, not looking down at our loved ones from the sky, not even looking down for a great ariel view. No, in heaven we will always be looking up. Our attention will be captured by God's greatness and glory and we will be looking up to him and worshiping him. You won't be able to to look down when in the presence of God.

I challenge you to analyze your lifestyle right now. Do you find yourself slumping over into yourself and your own prideful thoughts? Putting yourself as god in your life? Look up to heaven even from your position on earth and give God glory. We are in dress rehearsal now for the day when we will be in the presence of God worshipping Him in heaven for all eternity.

42 Questions To Ask Your Spouse On Valentine's Day

If you and your spouse were on the Newlywed game show... would you win? My husband and I are going to a couple's retreat next month and decided to get a head start on it by brushing up on our newlywed gameshow questions. We actually did pretty well the first time through, but we keep giving each other pop quizzes to keep the answers fresh in our minds. Below I've made a list of common couples questions that you and your spouse might find fun to ask each other. 1) What is your spouse's all time favorite movie? 2) What would your spouse request as their "last meal"? 3) What is your spouse's favorite pastime? 4) What percentage of housework would your husband say he does? 5) What flavor of cake did you have at your wedding? 6) What is your spouse's ideal date night? 7) Excluding people, what would your spouse say is their most prized possession? 8) At what specific sport or game will you wife say she is better than you? 9) What is your spouse...

Spring Cleaning Challenge- Day 21, Shower

I hope you had a wonderful weekend, celebrating Easter with family and friends. This week we will be focusing on the bathrooms. (I hope you don't have very many) Because I'm not getting this post out till late morning you might consider swapping today's task and tomorrow's. If you get up early and have already taken a shower you might not want to clean the shower today. Instead you can jump ahead to tomorrow and clean the shower curtain and liner. Then tomorrow morning when you take a shower you can clean it. Do whatever works best with your schedule. CHALLENGE: Clean you shower(s) till it sparkles. Here is a link back to the post about shower cleaner. It really does work the best; It makes my shower tiles sparkle! I find that taking a shower while cleaning it is the easiest way. If you have multiple showers, you might consider not getting soaking wet every time, or asking a spouse or child to help you. Take a scrub brush to work on grout mold, and a sponge to wipe ...
