Question

I have a question for you all (I like to pretend that like 50 people or more read my blog, but I know it is at tops 5, but I'll just keep pretending). Have you ever heard of the notion that you actually turn your new age the moment you blow out your candles on your birthday cake? That idea has been circulating around my household lately, and it was news to me.

Becky said...: That sounds like a great policy! It means that if I avoid birthday candles, I can thereby prevent myself from aging. :) If you let someone else blow your candles out for you does that age them? Hmmmm...; October 19, 2008 at 6:42 PM

I have never heard of that, but it has a cool sentiment.; October 19, 2008 at 7:50 PM
*MARY* said...: I've never heard of that either. But it might be true, the last time my husband had a birthday cake with candles was when he was 10, that explains a lot.; October 19, 2008 at 8:32 PM
Jess said...: I have never heard of this either. I turn a year older at 11:50 pm every July 3rd...that was the TIME I was born and I have always used that rational. Since I turn 30 next year I think I will go with the candle rational and never use a candle again and therefore never turn 30. Yahoo!; October 21, 2008 at 12:19 PM

“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.”

-Marianne Williamson

“And now here is my secret, a very simple secret; it is only with the heart that one can see rightly, what is essential is invisible to the eye.”

-Antoine de Saint-Exupery

We need always to ask what we are doing to our spirit. Is the divine within us being nurtured, or do our actions prevent the Spirit from becoming the predominant force in our lives?
-Kathleen H. Hughes

Verse of the Day

Feb 17, 2011 Moses 6:32 And the Lord said unto Enoch: Go forth and do as I have commanded thee, and no man shall pierce thee. Open thy mouth, and it shall be filled, and I will give thee utterance, for all flesh is in my hands, and I will do as seemeth me good. 33 Say unto this people: Choose ye this day, to serve the Lord God who made you. 34 Behold my Spirit is upon you, wherefore all thy words will I justify; and the mountains shall flee before you, and the rivers shall turn from their course; and thou shalt abide in me, and I in you; therefore walk with me. My thoughts: If God could give Enoch power to teach the people He also gives me power to teach my children, I need to remember to rely on that. May 25,2010 Matthew 14 25 And in the fourth watch of the night Jesus went unto them, walking on the sea. 26 And when the disciples saw him walking on the sea, they were troubled, saying, It is a spirit; and they cried out for fear. 27 But straightway Jesus spake unto them, saying, Be of good cheer; it is I; be not afraid. 28 And Peter answered him and said, Lord, if it be thou, bid me come unto thee on the water. 29 And he said, Come. And when Peter was come down out of the ship, he walked on the water, to go to Jesus. 30 But when he saw the wind boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink, he cried, saying, Lord, save me. 31 And immediately Jesus stretched forth his hand, and caught him, and said unto him, O thou of little faith, wherefore didst thou doubt? March 1, 2010 Helaman 3:21 ...And they began to grow up unto the Lord.
