Signs That Make Me Look Twice!

Every once in awhile as I am driving I glance at signs on the road.  Sometimes I have to stop and take a second look.   One particular night I took a picture of this sign because I could not get it out of my head.  Am I attractive because of the way I look or because I am kind?  Am I attractive because of my outward beauty or my inner beauty?  

I can only answer that on who I like to hang out with.  And I can honestly say outward appearance of another human beings life plays a non important Role.  But the in-depth, inner beauty makes all the difference. 

So I just want to make a few comments.  A kind person is attractive.  When someone does something for you that is so nice, for some reason a bond forms.  But what is really cool something changes in you.  The edge is removed.  You lighten up and your not so focused on yourself.

A couple a weeks ago I was asked by a couple of friends from church if I would go with them to a park in Bridgeport and contribute to lunch and play frisbee with some Women who have had a hard life.  And I said yes to both.  That afternoon I ate lunch and played frisbee with ladies from this program.  It was an afternoon of not focusing on me.  And I was blessed with a good time and getting to hear some hilarious stories.  

I know I will be having more opportunities to do things like this, my prayer is that I won't miss it when it smacks me right in the face!  
Yes, I say Yes to KINDNESS being attractive!

Amazing Book for Me!

No words can express all the thoughts, tears and just great honest writing that Amy did in this book!
I am most thankful that a friend picked up this book and read and said that it was for me!

So this book gave me a view of her life with touching stories.  She weaves in some of her poetry and songs.  Some how I understand her now better.  And how really all my life she has been an inspiration and she still is.

When I became a Christian she was one of the first Christian Artists that I listened to.  She was amazing her voice was amazing.  Fathers Eyes was one of my favorite songs.  But what is really cool is that now all those lyrics that I used to sing now have a special meaning because somehow I understand.

Although I don't know her personally the stories in this book helped me connect to her and inspired
me.  If you have a chance read this book.  It's a light read and the short stories are great.
