MAXIM: Dirty Hands

     Dirty hands are either the sign of a hard worker, or a sign that someone's been playing in the mud. 

BIBLE VERSE: Luke 15:7

     "I say unto you, that likewise joy shall be in heaven over one sinner that repenteth, more than over ninety and nine just persons, which need no repentance." - Luke 15:7

QUOTE: The Unequaled Charm - Jane Austen

     "There is no charm equal to tenderness of heart." - Jane Austen

MAXIM: Mixed CDs Are Superb

     The brilliance of mixed CDs is indeed astounding. They are the ideal medium with which to set the tone for almost any situation, and allow you the ability to do this using all your dearest melodies and tunes. How could you not love a well-constructed mixed CD?

THOUGHT: The Ruin Of Ordinary Men

     Most women would contend that Disney Princes have destroyed their expectations in the everyday man. I, on the other hand, blame this unhealthy loss of expectations entirely on Jane Austen and her impeccable, male literary personas. Yes, indeed. Mr. Darcy, Colonel Brandon, and Mr. Knightly ruined me for typical men long before Prince Charming and Prince Eric even attempted such a feat.
     I also blame this loss on Richard Dean Anderson. 

     (If you need an explanation as to why Richard Dean Anderson is also blamed for this grave loss, all you need do is Google him. However, if you need to Google him, you might want to invest in some quality viewing time of all 7 seasons of MacGyver. Then you will really know the gravity of his part in this matter.) 

THOUGHT: The Absurdities of Attraction

     I remain astounded as to how I can talk so fluently in type, or even in speech to others I find myself with a lack of attraction towards. Yet completely speechless in front of any male I find remotely attractive. You see in the presence of an attractive man, I find myself nigh unto incapable of forming words. 
     Why is this? Only the Lord, who made me and is so good to me, knows. I'm sure scientists have come up with some brilliant, intelligent sounding, hard-to-pronounce word for this condition. I simply refer to it as the awkwardness of my age, and the absurd fear of verbally embarrassing myself and my over-emotional ego. 

MAXIM: Be Thankful

     To be thankful in everything is truly one of the most rewarding, Godly things you can do with your life. There is too much in life to be grateful for, to abstain from thanksgiving. The saying of old rings true when it says, "There is always something to me thankful for." Be thankful.

THOUGHT: The Importance Of Purses

     I once heard it said that purses are worthless. As an avid purse user, I categorically challenge this statement. To any other non-admirers of purses, I say this: "Spend one week around me, and then tell me my purse is useless."
     Game. Set. Match. 

THOUGHT: Muddled Musings

     If you like this blog, you might like another, rather more long-winded blog of mine, that upholds the same level of wit I attempt to provide for your reading eyes here. This other blog does have a pinch more dramatics, theatrics, and more words in general, but it is still very me and you might like it. I hope you enjoy.

MAXIM: Use Your Time Wisely

     Time is irreplaceable and nonrefundable. Best to spend it wisely.

QUOTE: Worry - Corrie Ten Boom

     "Worry does not empty tomorrow of its sorrow; it empties today of its strength." - Corrie Ten Boom

QUOTE: Simplicity - Winnie The Pooh

     "Sometimes the less you say, the more that people understand. Keep it simple." - Winnie The Pooh

THOUGHT: Semester's End

Semester's End is drawing near.
Bringing along friends, Doom & Fear. 

Deadlines over the horizon peer. 
Their unwelcome, sinister faces leer. 

MAXIM: Trust God. He Is Faithful.

     Only God can turn a mess into a message, a test into a testimony, and a victim into a victor. God is faithful and true. Trust in him for everything. 

THOUGHT: Bumble Bee's Are The Most Economical Vehicle For Fairies

     Did you know that Bumble Bees can travel around the world 200 times on a mere one gallon of honey? No wonder the fairy prince loved his Bumble. Such great milage cannot go unnoticed. 

THOUGHT: Public Speaking

     Public speaking has the singular ability to transform me into an asthmatic wolverine. I utter every syllable with unnecessary voracity, awkward vulnerability, and just a pinch of poetry. 

MAXIM: Stirring Up A Pot

     Don't put spoons in a pot you don't want to stir.

THOUGHT: The Superpowers Of A Shawl

     I simply adore shawls. You see, when I don a shawl I feel as if I have suddenly been given all the wit of Jane Austen, and all the strength of Caroline Ingalls. Needless to say, I really enjoy wearing shawls.  

THOUGHT: Barefoot Rebel VS Warm-footed Citizen

     I live on the edge of life. 
     I also prefer wearing socks over running around barefoot. 
     So maybe I'm not as much of a rebel as I suppose myself to be.
