Tagalongs, The Perfect Cookie

Girl Scout Cookies are a great thing that helps girls be successful. Tagalongs are the perfect cookie that blends peanut butter and chocolate on a cookie. What more is there to like?

Some other folks were making changes to their blog and I did to today. I am using the Twenty-Sixteen theme and I am honoring the thirteenth Doctor from Doctor Who, Jodie Whittaker by the header image which comes from the BBC. You should be able to read the posts better and the images will be bigger too. Thank you for continuing to visit and read what I am posting.

Keep on blogging folks!

Waiting

Good things come to those who wait but that can take time. Impatience is exhausting. Waiting is also the hardest when it comes to someone you love.

Daily Prompt: Imagination

Everyone needs an imagination to get through life. Without the power to dream and to contemplate the impossible life does not move forward. Our imagination can fuel the possibilities of today and tomorrow. Everyone needs and imagination in order for them to get through daily challenges where we need solutions. When we stop using our imagination we truly die inside. We are inspired and challenged when we imagine what can be done to make life better or to do something extraordinary. Don’t forget to use your imagination today for good, good people. As John Lennon once sang “Imagine All The People”

Real Things Love, Grace and Peace

Hell and sin are real things but love, grace and peace are very real too. I’d rather focus on the things that make the lives of others better and to give the world hope through a loving God the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. I guess if loving one another is to mean something it needs to include everyone, everywhere. That’s my sermon for today. Resume your cat video watching.

Quote Of The Day

If a man does not think much of a thing, he is neither very joyful at obtaining it, nor very grieved at losing it. Wherefore, since the magnanimous man does not think much of external goods, that is goods of fortune, he is neither much uplifted by them if he has them, nor much cast down by their loss…
