The library was closed by the time we got there.
That is one of our favorite places to spend an afternoon – thrilling, I know :) We didn’t realize it closes at 5pm on Saturdays. On the weekdays the closing time is later.
Without the library, what can my husband and I do on a Saturday late afternoon?
The test:
I put on half of my husband’s face the Jafra toner, elasticity recovery, and moisturizer. On the other half of his face he used Oil of Olay.

Ok, she picked the Oil of Olay side…
The next day, we repeated the experiment.
Dr. Laura’s answer to a caller who was heart-broken over break up with a guy:
Why are you dating at all? You are a hypersensitive 17-year-old teenager who should be getting involved in sports, drama, and things like that.

In the book of Numbers, chapter 11, the Israelites were complaining that they didn’t have meat to eat. The Lord told Moses that he will indeed give the people meat to eat, not for just one day, or two days, or five, ten or twenty days, but for a whole month. Moses was incredulous. Where in the world can he get enough meat for six hundred thousand men plus women and children for a whole month?
Of course I love my church.
I’ve been there for 17 years.
I’ve stayed with it through thick and thin.
It’s like my family.
But I suddenly realize today that I don’t love my church as described in ICorinthians 13.
If the truth be known: I am impatient whenever there is Chinese translation. I am…
People will agree that the most important things in life are not possessions. On top of the list of what we value are family and health, isn’t that right?
