Here’s a bunch of random phone pics…I finally got my USB cord and the microSD card and am able to get pictures off!! Not the best quality, but hey, at least I can! You can click the images if you have a Facebook account and are logged in, if not go here for the public link (and more pics!). Hover over them…some have descriptions!
I was trying to upload another of her sleeping in her highchair but it wouldn’t upload! Oh well!
Alright. I’m in a hyper mood, and I just drank some really good coffee with some really good hazelnut creamer (yum), so…heh…random!
A few days ago, we all got new phones…our old ones were kind of wearing out and now have been given to the kids for alarms (which sometimes creates confusion as they like to play the ringtones as ‘background music’ and Mom and I keep reaching for our phones when familiar tones play!), while we got some spiffy new phones. Dad, Mom, Ben, and Joe got Alltel Hue II’s, while Eric and I (such nonconformists!) got the much-cooler LG Banter.
Hue II pros: Better camera, camcorder. Comes with earbud headset.
Hue II cons: Ugly GUI! Worse than the last phones,
Banter pros: Neat slide-out keyboard!! (I don’t text but I’m ALWAYS writing notes to myself!) Pretty GUI!! (Black with pink selector!) Cooler ringtones!
Banter cons: Not *quite* as good of camera (half a megapixel less), no camcorder, and the headset jack is less than 1/8″ (weird!) so I can’t snitch Mom’s headset earbuds and doesn’t come with them! Can’t figure out how to get the customizable menu to somewhere handy! LOL
But I love my Banter! And wheee! I can plug it into my computer and actually get pictures off it!! Eric and I ordered USB cords (a friend of mine found a Bluetooth USB thing for $8, but the cords were only $4.50 apiece) on the 14th so they should be here any day. Expect to be overloaded with pictures!
Both phones also have mp3 players (listen, my last one didn’t, and I couldn’t get pics off my last one so humor me a bit, ok? I KNOW most other people’s phones have both capabilities, but yeah…), but need microSD cards so Eric and I ordered those as well. I don’t imagine it being the best quality, but I really wanted an mp3 player again since my last one’s headphone jack broke!
Hmm let’s see…a couple of the kids have a cold, and Abby threw up a couple times a few nights ago. It only lasted one night, though, fortunately!
We got a scanner, so Beth has been scanning in old pics and putting them on Facebook. Pretty entertaining! Brings back a lot of memories!
A few days ago, Pi was sleeping on my bed all day, and when I went in there for bed, she had pulled out some of her fur on her shoulder, and spread it all over my bed! I had to clean it up before I could go to sleep! She’s done this before, pulled out some of her fur. No clue how she does it, I didn’t think kitty teeth were that…that…something-or-other! Anybody know why a cat would pull out her fur?
*hopes some cool stuff comes in the mail today!!* (like the USB cords!)
Hmm…I think I lost my hyperness (it’s only internal, anyway). Oh well! I guess that means I should post this then!
And I’ll leave you with two funny pics! (Yes, words are misspelled!)
Hello again!
*insert technical spiel* Sorry for the lack of pictures…the gallery I was using messed up and was too hard to redo so I’m uploading my pictures to Facebook (since I usually do anyway) and discovered a plugin for my blog to insert my Facebook photos. So you can have pics now! Yay! *end technical spiel* (if you didn’t understand it, that’s alright…the point is, I can post pics!)
Without further ado! (If you click the link it’ll take you to my Facebook gallery…the larger pictures were too big for my template! And evidently it didn’t work to click the individual photos…so click the Facebook gallery link below! Hover for descriptions…if none pop up, don’t panic, it means it doesn’t have a description! And there are a few more in my Facebook gallery that aren’t posted here.)
(Thank you to Mr. H. for a few of those pictures!)
Emily brought it to our attention yesterday that one year ago today, we ran off to Oregon to see Grandpa who was doing poorly. Then in June we went out there for a tour. In November, Mom and Joe went out there again because Grandpa was truly dying. Then on November 17, Grandpa left this world.
Time goes by so fast. You can’t do anything to slow it down.
Ephesians 5:15-16 See then that you walk circumspectly, not as fools but as wise, redeeming the time, because the days are evil.
What then should you do? Consider the foremost commandment:
Mark 10:28-31 Then one of the scribes came, and having heard them reasoning together, perceiving that He had answered them well, asked Him, “Which is the first commandment of all?”
Jesus answered him, “The first of all the commandments is: ‘Hear, O Israel, the LORD our God, the LORD is one. And you shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength.’ This is the first commandment. And the second, like it, is this: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no other commandment greater than these.”
I suppose love is a good place to start then. Love God, love others. What does it mean to love God?
John 14:15 “If you love Me, keep My commandments.
Think love isn’t a big deal? Check this out:
1 John 4:7-11 Beloved, let us love one another, for love is of God; and everyone who loves is born of God and knows God. He who does not love does not know God, for God is love. In this the love of God was manifested toward us, that God has sent His only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through Him. In this is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the propitiation for our sins. Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another.
and…
1 Peter 4:7-9 But the end of all things is at hand; therefore be serious and watchful in your prayers. And above all things have fervent love for one another, for “love will cover a multitude of sins.” Be hospitable to one another without grumbling. As each one has received a gift, minister it to one another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God.
Hey…if love covers a multitude of sins, I say everybody could use more loving! 
If you love God, you will do what He says. If He says to love your neighbor, you will. If you love your neighbor, you will be looking out for his better interest above yours. If you love your neighbor, you won’t be focussing on yourself. If you love your neighbor, you can look past his faults to see a creation of God’s who needs the Truth, no matter if the Truth seems harsh.
John 14:6 Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.”
For instance, if your neighbor was about to be run over by a speeding car, but he was talking to you and you didn’t want to interrupt him because that would be rude, he would soon be run over by the truth of that speeding car. Truth isn’t always easy. In fact, it’s rarely easy. But that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t share the Truth.
Ephesians 4:9-16 And He Himself gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, and some pastors and teachers, for the equipping of the saints for the work of ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ, till we all come to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a perfect man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ; that we should no longer be children, tossed to and fro and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, in the cunning craftiness of deceitful plotting, but, speaking the truth in love, may grow up in all things into Him who is the head—Christ—from whom the whole body, joined and knit together by what every joint supplies, according to the effective working by which every part does its share, causes growth of the body for the edifying of itself in love.
How about some “truth in love” in action?
Jude 22, 23 And on some have compassion, making a distinction; but others save with fear, pulling them out of the fire, hating even the garment defiled by the flesh.
James 5:19, 20 Brethren, if anyone among you wanders from the truth, and someone turns him back, let him know that he who turns a sinner from the error of his way will save a soul from death and cover a multitude of sins.
Annnd…I don’t know if I really have a point, other than use your time wisely: love God and love others.
