The Birthday Creeper

So, my birthday has come at last. On the glorious morn of my special day, I was going online to probably google a recipe or something of that nature and this is what I see:

How does Google know my birthday?? I had to find the brute that was behind this. So, I clicked on the lovely picture. To my surprise, it took me to Google +, which I NEVER use. I got an account years ago for a class assignment and I hadn't looked at it since. But, lo and behold, there it was, December 18th, my very own birthday for all of the online world to see. I do not recollect putting that there! This is a minor example, but it is incredible what information is on the internet that we may not be aware of. Careful everyone! Don't put anything online that you wouldn't be comfortable having the forty-year-old creeper down the street get ahold of. Wait, would there be any information that fits in that category? . . . you get the gist.

Being Well-rounded is a Service

So, I'm a college student: in regards to finals week...well, let's say that sleep and food are my long lost friends right now. BUT, I've been thinking about how lucky I am to be in school and to be, as the scriptures say, "learned". Education helps us to be well-rounded people.

We need to be well-rounded to make a significant difference in this world of people who need our influence. Let's be well-rounded, huh? Let's learn all we can about how this world works and about how people work! Let's learn about relationships and how to effectively communicate. Then let's use our knowledge to help others.

Hallelujah For Hard Times.

I have been hitting this leg against EVERYTHING this week. I realized when I looked at my many battle bruises that together they formed the shape of a cloud with drops of rain falling from it.

It may be hard to see sometimes, but there is beauty in our hard times. We might just have to look at them in a more creative way. But we are made as creative beings. We have the power to change the way we think. We have the power to think positively.

Make it a great week!
