Crazy Kid!
Wondergirl went to Alton Towers with her friends last week and she and her equally crazy best friend went on this ride, while another of her friends captured it on the video facility of the camera.
It looks like she had a blast!

The Bono Speech
This youtube of Bono’s speech is extremely rousing. Fast forward to 3.51 minutes and …just wow…what he says and the passion with which he speaks is just …so right.

Actually, only last night i was listening to the following U2 song while i was painting, so i thought i would [...]

I can’t do this thing
that you ask of me
live this life
that you gve to me
it is too much
I thought it would get easier
if i tried to get up each morning
if i kept on trying
to get through each day
but it is so hard
I feel like i am alone in this
that you are not near
and yet I [...]

When Things Go Wrong
by Author Unknown
When things go wrong, as they sometimes will,
When the road you’re trudging seems all uphill,
When the funds are low and the debts are high,
And you want to smile, but you have to sigh,
When care is pressing you down a bit-
Rest if you must, but don’t you quit.
Life is queer with [...]

Imagine every day to be the last of a life surrounded with hopes, cares, anger and fear. The hours that come unexpectedly will be much the more grateful.

Brilliant Bargains Make Me Smile – Simple Living
This post is going to sound like a promotion, but i’m just so pleased when consumerism goes my way, that i just had to post about this.
I joined a catalogue. Not because i will ever make a second purchase from them probably, but because they offer to knock £15 off an order of £25 when [...]

Simple Living – Regifting
Regifting.
Is it the ideal way to get rid of a hideous gift or is it just plain wrong to regift something that has been given to you?
Isn’t regifting just another word for recycling?
Would you mind if you discovered that a gift you had given to someone, had later been regifted to someone else because the [...]

Prayer Cards for Preemies
Sharon left this request in the combox:
“Do you have a prayer card for preemies. My grandson, Jack Dayton Fremling, was born at 1#14oz last week at 26 1/2 weeks. He is holding his own – I would love to find some prayers specifically for him.
Please pray for him.”
I’m sure readers will join me in praying [...]

Simple Living – Sensational Chicken Stock
I have always made a lot of homemade soups and casseroles for my family and as you know, one of the key ingredients for these is stock. Until recently i would buy stock/stock cubes, but a few months ago i decided to begin making stock from scratch using a chicken carcass. It tastes so much [...]

Becoming Fathers and Mothers
What are we going to do when we get home? When the two sons of the parable of the prodigal son both have returned to their father, what then? The answer is simple: they have to become fathers themselves. Sons have to become fathers; daughters have to become mothers. Being children [...]

These are the things that make me happy…note to prospective future husband
It doesn’t happen very often, but every once in a while all my meandering around charity shops really pays off. Recently I managed to purchase this staggering (and oh weren’t we just…poor daughter carried most of it!) collection from Churchill’s discontinued Mille Fleur range.
Since the cheapest price i can find is £2.50 for 1 teacup [...]

A Lifelong Journey
Going home is a lifelong journey. There are always parts of ourselves that wander off in dissipation or get stuck in resentment. Before we know it we are lost in lustful fantasies or angry ruminations. Our night dreams and daydreams often remind us of our lostness.
Spiritual disciplines such as praying, fasting and caring [...]
