Friends of the opposite sex

Most people don't believe men and women can just be friends. 

I mean friends without benefits.  

No sex involved.   

It got me to thinking about this whole concept. 

When you are friends with a man/woman and they are married or have a boyfriend/girlfriend they should be able to tell them that you are friends from the beginning of the relationship.  However, if they can't tell their mate that you are friends something is wrong.  Especially if you were friends before they met this person.

Celebrating

I began a journey 8/7/2009. 

Along this journey I met someone who I had forgotten existed. 

I had forgotten that they had a beautiful smile.  They were blessed pretty brown eyes.   A funny sense of humor.  Loved to crack jokes.  They had fun and didn't always take life so serious.   They had dreams and passions they wanted to fulfill.  They love the Lord.  They love their family.

If it ain't one thing it's another

I was reading the Sunday School lesson for Aug. 1.  The title was if it ain't one thing it's another.

The woman in the story had a series of things go wrong in a day.  Her car broke down, her son was sick (urgent care/prescription), and her lights were turned off.  She contemplated spending her tithe money in order to pay any of these necessary expenses.  In the end she had money to moved around for her sons medical bill and she paid her tithes.  The car and lights had to wait.

Living off credit cards

Many people live well beyond their means.

When they decided they want to make a major purchase the first thing they do without thought is to pull out the card Visa/Mastercard/Discover/American Express.
