The Word In My Life – Child Like Faith
Dec 2nd
At that time the disciples came to Jesus and asked, “Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?” He called a little child and had him stand among them. And he said: “I tell you the truth, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. Therefore, whoever humbles himself like this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven. (Matthew 18:1-4, NIV)
This weekend I went to see New Moon (the sequel to Twilight) and I loved it! For those of you who are unfamiliar with the franchise (or have been living under More >
The Word In My Life – Give Thanks
Nov 26th
“One of them, when he saw he was healed, came back, praising God in a loud voice. He threw himself at Jesus’ feet and thanked him—and he was a Samaritan. Jesus asked, “Were not all ten cleansed? Where are the other nine? Was no one found to return and give praise to God except this foreigner?” Luke 17:15-18
In this story from the bible, ten lepers cried out to Jesus for healing. They stood at a safe distance away from him because lepers were considered contagious and they were forbidden, by law, to come near the population as they were considered “unclean”. More >
The Word In My Life – What Will You Do With Your Talent?
Nov 18th
“For the kingdom of heaven is as a man travelling into a far country, who called his own servants, and delivered unto them his goods.” Matthew 25:14 KJV
I was known in one of my previous occupations as the “what if?” girl – the one who always had a question. I earned that title during a CSR training session because I asked the instructors endless questions, trying to understand what my proper response should be during any given situation. My instructors were ok with my countless questions because they understood that was how I learned.
One day I was sitting at work, reflecting More >
My Blackberry Bold White Screen of Death
Nov 15th
My Blackberry experienced the White Screen of Death at least 3 times in the last 6 months. The device works well, you can make calls, see the LED flashing with new messages, hear sounds and alerts but you see absolutely nothing on the display but WHITE! I have replaced my LCD 3 times because of this White Screen.
You see I have an unlocked Bold on TMobile that I acquired by trading with someone for my Unlocked Blackberry Storm 9530. Therefore, my Bold isn’t under warranty and if something goes wrong, oh well. I did place an order for my 3rd More >
The Word In My Life – Yes Jesus Loves Me
Nov 11th
“I’ve given up trying to figure it out why he loves me like that. I just know that he does and I accept it now.”
Me, November 6th, 2009
“Yes, Jesus loves me, for the Bible tells me so.” Christian Children’s Hymn
Once, while reading the Gospel of John, I was struck by a phrase that was repeated several times: “the disciple whom Jesus loved”. This statement seemed strange to me because I was always told that God is not a “respecter” of person or station – he loves us all equally. So how could this guy be referred to as the one More >
The Word In My Life – Casting All Your Cares Upon Him
Oct 28th
“Casting all your cares upon him, for he careth for you.” 1 Peter 5:7
It’s been years since the Lord gave me that scripture to lean on. At the time, I really needed it, for then I only thought I was miserable. I was working as a CSR for a major utility making great money but I hated it. It kept me from spending time with my children and attending Sunday worship services. On the other hand, I wasn’t really feeling church lately - I went through the motions but I had some major problems with their doctrine. My husband seemed to be going More >

Blackberry Storm 9530 Extended Battery Review

The innocell extended battery gives you up to 90 percent more capacity than the normal battery for the Storm (2600mah ). Even with heavy texting (twittering) and data usage the battery will keep the blackberry charged and ready to go according to the website ( www.seidioonline.com )
My Impressions of the Battery
When I received the battery it was pre-charged to 50 percent. I received it late in the afternoon and I decided to just put it in the storm and go to work. If I needed to charge while at work I More >
