where? what? why?

i have been seeing this quote around the Internet. i don't agree so i have posed these questions to those who believe it.

"we are not human beings having a spiritual experience. we are spiritual beings having a human experience."

1 - where is the spiritual place you are from (name, location)?
2 - is the colour scheme the same (blue sky, green grass, clear water, etc.)?
3 - how was it decided you would come here?

waiting for responses....

My Bloginality is INTJ!!!

JMS scribed at 9:58 PM - -


my new job is a trip

advertising is hard. my assignments are to coordinate a grocery ad with four managers. all the prices, descriptions and pictures - 100% with weekly signs is so hard, especially when vendors give you the wrong information to start with. Did I mention 3 different ads for 47 stores, including large orders to meet the front page promotions? i'm tired, mentally.

i'm glad it pays well.

**********
Ezekial 34:26: And I will make them and the places round about my hill a blessing; and I will cause the shower to come down in his season; there shall be showers of blessing.

God provides, gloriously.

time flies

i can't believe its the weekend. time at work flies by now that i'm really working. i'm starting to like my job more as i understand how to manipulate the new systems that i work with.

today i have a knitting class at the library. i have always wanted real instruction because i could never get the hang of it. hopefully this will keep me out of the malls and help me manage my money better, by making a sweater or two.

i just realize this morning that i am in my middle age (42) !! honestly, i look and feel under 30. i've had a couple of people tell me recently that they could not believe i was in my forties. i enjoy my life now, much more that before. sounds like that saying - you're not getter older, you're getting better. we talked about getting older at work, and how i cried a month before i turned 30, and a month after. silly me.


*******
Job 23:10: But he knoweth the way that I take: when he hath tried me, I shall come forth as gold.

as long as i look to God for direction in all things, i will become prefect and purified.

full day

it's Sunday but i will be working today. there's is so much on my desk due to the short weeks. my company is growing (yay!) with the purchase of 4 new stores, and because they are in different markets, it will add greatly to my assignments. some of the changes will happen tomorrow, so i really want to get caught up.

anyhoo, along with work, today i need to do my laundry, clean up, and workout. i also plan to watch a movie called Waking Life that someone in another group mentioned. i want to share my commentary. so far it appears the people have contradicted themselves in their comments. very weird although the animation is cool.

oh, i went to the $1 show yesterday to see Under The Tuscan Sun. 1 1/2 stars. the acting was good, but the movie was so slow. the ending lacked hmph! i almost fell asleep.

*******
Luke 21:36: Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.

it is important to keep a close relationship with God to grow spiritually, so the plagues of this life will not harm me, and i can feel good about my life at judgement.

another year

when i think of another year, i think one year closer to the Kingdom. no celebration of life here. i was sleep at midnight.

as far as resolutions, in Kwanzaa we look at 7 principles to see what we have done over the past year, and thoughts for the next. i plan to stop proscratinating so much and continue to expand my mind by learning as much as i can. last year i made my mind up to lose 90 lbs, and i did!


one thing that i do everyday is read the Holy Bible. i plan to post the verses i cover here each day. it's amazing how clear God speaks through the fire.

*******
Isaiah 44:18: They have not known nor understood: for he hath shut their eyes, that they cannot see; and their hearts, that they cannot understand.

if a person does not follow the statutes and commandments of the Creator, the enemy will close their hearts were they cannot see the evil they are doing.
