I am absolutely addicted to Woot.com. If you've never wooted before, you have to got to check this site out.
They started a Woot-off yesterday and so far they've sold a ridiculous amount of items from a Digital Camera for $60 to a desktop for $200 to a laptop for $450! You never know what's next, but I'm waiting for another computer for school because I desperately need something that is up to date. I'm still using Windows 98. How ridiculous!
Sign up (it's free) and try to build up your resistance to buy the deal everyday because it's so good.
Greg also wants a flat screen TV (who doesn't)? There are good deals all over the place but of course it has to meet certain specs...maybe he will find something on Black Friday. I'm okay with his getting it, because it's something he's monetarily worked for for quite some time, and then, once he has it, hopefully he'll stop talking about it!! :P (said with total love, of course)
Its just a grab bag for a $1 each (up to 3 and +$5 for shipping). People have received big screen TVs, Wii's and other cool things. There are probably just as many people who get something worthless, but everyone goes crazy when it shows up. I tried to get one today and failed.
That does sound cool. I can see how you could get hooked on it. Especially if the deals are good. Thanks for sharing that! I'll have to stop over there. Maybe I shouldn't cause then I might just get hooked!!! We should start a watching group where we each take a shift in watching for deals and call each other!!!!!! JK!
I did not think I'd see God attacked so vehemently in our own lifetime.
We have been blessed lately to be presented with several lessons comparing our current world with the world that existed during Elijah's lifetime. Almost everyone was against God, but because of one faithful man's prayers, over 7,000 of the nation turned back to Him. Elijah's prayer didn't bring comfort or pleasure to him-in fact he suffered for it while Ahab did not. But God's glory and power were shown and that was the desired outcome. We may be more in the Days of Elijah than we think.
Our wonderful evangelist, Jason Moore, shared with us something to chew on recently. Did we pray for the stock market to crash? No. The housing market to fail? No. But have we prayed for God to help bring the people in our country and world back to God? Unfortunately, it takes hard times to open people's eyes to our Creator. I guess this new anti-God campaign might just be the push we need to fight back.
Impressive! It's the best feeling when you find a good deal--I got a Christmas tree this weekend for 8 dollars and I'm telling everyone. I even told my students. :)
Read if you have time and the desire. I saw this recently and found it very enlightening. I appreciate Lincoln's frankness and clarity. No need for fancy words. No one needed to wonder what he really meant or if he was telling the truth. He was transparent and honest. I miss those days of politics. I wish more people understood them. Could you imagine this being said today by a President? Sigh. This world is not our home.
"At this second appearing to take the oath of the Presidential office there is less occasion for an extended address than there was at the first. Then a statement somewhat in detail of a course to be pursued seemed fitting and proper. Now, at the expiration of four years, during which public declarations have been constantly called forth on every point and phase of the great contest which still absorbs the attention and engrosses the energies of the nation, little that is new could be presented. The progress of our arms, upon which all else chiefly depends, is as well known to the public as to myself, and it is, I trust, reasonably satisfactory and encouraging to all. With high hope for the future, no prediction in regard to it is ventured.
On the occasion corresponding to this four years ago all thoughts were anxiously directed to an impending civil war. All dreaded it, all sought to avert it. While the inaugural address was being delivered from this place, devoted altogether to saving the Union without war, urgent agents were in the city seeking to destroy it without war—seeking to dissolve the Union and divide effects by negotiation. Both parties deprecated war, but one of them would make war rather than let the nation survive, and the other would accept war rather than let it perish, and the war came.
One-eighth of the whole population were colored slaves, not distributed generally over the Union, but localized in the southern part of it. These slaves constituted a peculiar and powerful interest. All knew that this interest was somehow the cause of the war. To strengthen, perpetuate, and extend this interest was the object for which the insurgents would rend the Union even by war, while the Government claimed no right to do more than to restrict the territorial enlargement of it. Neither party expected for the war the magnitude or the duration which it has already attained. Neither anticipated that the cause of the conflict might cease with or even before the conflict itself should cease. Each looked for an easier triumph, and a result less fundamental and astounding. Both read the same Bible and pray to the same God, and each invokes His aid against the other. It may seem strange that any men should dare to ask a just God's assistance in wringing their bread from the sweat of other men's faces, but let us judge not, that we be not judged. The prayers of both could not be answered. That of neither has been answered fully. The Almighty has His own purposes. "Woe unto the world because of offenses; for it must needs be that offenses come, but woe to that man by whom the offense cometh." If we shall suppose that American slavery is one of those offenses which, in the providence of God, must needs come, but which, having continued through His appointed time, He now wills to remove, and that He gives to both North and South this terrible war as the woe due to those by whom the offense came, shall we discern therein any departure from those divine attributes which the believers in a living God always ascribe to Him? Fondly do we hope, fervently do we pray, that this mighty scourge of war may speedily pass away. Yet, if God wills that it continue until all the wealth piled by the bondsman's two hundred and fifty years of unrequited toil shall be sunk, and until every drop of blood drawn with the lash shall be paid by another drawn with the sword, as was said three thousand years ago, so still it must be said "the judgments of the Lord are true and righteous altogether."
With malice toward none, with charity for all, with firmness in the right as God gives us to see the right, let us strive on to finish the work we are in, to bind up the nation's wounds, to care for him who shall have borne the battle and for his widow and his orphan, to do all which may achieve and cherish a just and lasting peace among ourselves and with all nations.
I did not read this...but your bible study was really good Tues night. I could relate to a lot of things said! Were you at church last night? Didn't see ya!
Nah. That is my dad's brother. Why did'nt you tell me college had so many strings? Talk about crossing t's and dotting ... lower case j's. Do you know what movie that came from?
I caught a snippet of SNL the other night and I really really didn't appreciate it! It was the segment called the cougers club. "Sandy, why didn't you tell me you had a new ankle tat? said in a low droning voice.
"That's not an ankle tat. It's a spider vein that exploded." Speaking from an aging spidervein point of veiw; Getting old is the pits.
I think one of my more recent blogs "set it up" and gave it away for several people! I know I can be a vague writer at times but I guess I had several people curious! Anyway, I wanted to tell you and Ryan Wed. night at church but the setting just wasn't right! I would've been at Amanda's shower last night too, but I needed some REST! Talk soon!
