Hmmm....

Just random questions that sometime cross my mind that I thought I would share with you all.

1. If "Pro" is the opposite of "Con", what is the opposite of Progress? Congress???

2. Why do you pay extra to get something put on your sandwich but don't get a discount when something is taken off?

3. When people say "PIN number" do they know they're saying "Personal Identification Number Number"?
 
4. What's the difference between partly cloudy and partly sunny?
 
5. Why is the name for fear of long words Hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia?
 
6. Why do drugstores make sick people walk all the way to the back of the store to get their prescriptions while healthy people can buy cigarettes at the front?
 
7. How can bottled water go out of date?
 
8. If the professor on Giligan's Island can make a radio out of coconut, why couldn't he fix a hole in a boat?
 
9. Why do grocery stores have so many checkout line registers but only keep 3 or 4 open?
 
10. Isn't the 13th floor still chronologically the 13th even if it's named the 14th?

11. Evlotionists believe we evolved from monkies correct?  If that is true (which it aint) where are there still monkies?

Women of Faith

Whoever know me knows that I attend Women of Faith conferences every year.  I have been going since 1999 and this year is no different.  For the past 7 years I have been serving as a group leader.  Basically I sign a contract for a certain amount of tickets every year and then sell them and help ladies find hotel rooms for the event.

In the past years I had only committed to 25 tickets.  In 2011 I committed myself to 50 then God reminded me that He was bigger than that and I increased my contract to 75.  This year I signed a contract for 75 and He reminded me again that He was bigger then that and I now have (gulp) 90 tickets!!  God in all His wisdom made me increase the boarders and I have 8 left.

If you have never been to a WOF conference, it is an event where women of all ages and faiths come together in a non judgemental environment to worship, hear fantastic music from artists like Mandisa, Amy Grant, Selah (just to name a few of the artist who have graced the stage), laugh, learn and more than one occasion cry.  We listen to inspiration speakers like Sheila Walsh, Sandi Patty, Brenda Warner, Lisa Harper, Pat Smith, Patsy Clairmont, Marilyn Meberg and Luci Swindoll.

I encourage any lady who reads this post to check out http://www.womenoffaith.com/ to learn more about them.

I also want to ask you to come to Celebrate Event in Hartford CT, November 2 & 3.  If you are not from my area (MA/RI/CT) check the WOF site for an event in your area.

Most women who come to a WOF event come because they were asked...so I am asking you to purchase a ticket and come.  Your life will never be the same.

PAID IN FULL

My husband and I will be going on a cruise this summer with a wonderful couple. We met Paul and Denise at church and God has turned a casual relationship into a bonafied friendship.  Today, I made my final payment on the vacation invoice so now we look forward to waiting for vacation to come where the 4 of us will be spending time (7 days) laughing, relaxing, exploring and feasting together.

Then I thought about how Jesus paid another type of invoice. 

Because He loves us, Jesus paid for the sins of the world, for you and me, with his life (John 3:16)so we can spend eternity with Him.  When we leave this world and arrive in Heaven we will all be together again with Him in heaven enjoying the company of good friends worshiping God, laughing, relaxing, and enjoying the wedding supper of the Lamb (Rev 19:7).  Now THAT is going to a destination and a meal I am going to love!!
