Are You Tuned In?
May 2, 2012

When I was growing up, I stayed with my grandparents for a week or two every summer. They lived on a street that dead-ended into some railroad tracks. I would often awaken several times on my first night as the box cars rumbled by or when an engineer blew the train whistle. By the end of my visit, however, I had grown so accustomed to the noise that I could sleep straight through the night without interruption. I had tuned out the sounds.

There are other interruptions that I don’t want to tune out! I love it when my husband unexpectedly brings me a cup of coffee when I’m working at the computer. And it brings me joy when I receive an unexpected call from a friend.

Sometimes we’re tempted to tune out “divine interruptions” of the Holy Spirit instead of listening to His promptings. He may nudge us with a realization that we need to ask forgiveness for something we said or did. Or persistently remind us that we should pray for someone who is experiencing a crisis. Or convict us that we have never fully shared Jesus with a person we care about.

When the Holy Spirit indwells us, He teaches us, convicts us, comforts us, and guides us into truth (John 14:16-17,26; 16:7-8,13). Are you tuned in to the interruption of His voice?

Holy Spirit, help us hear
Your inner promptings, soft and clear;
And help us know Your still, small voice
So we may make God’s will our choice. —D. De Haan

Make the right choice: Obey the Spirit’s voice.

Read: John 16:7-15

The Holy Spirit . . . will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all things that I said to you. —John 14:26

Bible in a Year:
2 Chronicles 30-32

bgcolor="#EEEEEE" align=center> You Are a Vacuum

You are meticulous and extremely clean. You don't like to leave messes lying around.
You are unwavering and brave. You do what needs to be done, even if it isn't popular.

You tend to be controlling, and you hate leaving anything up to chance. You leave your mark on everything.
You trust yourself to know what's right and what's wrong. You are willing to go against the tide.

Evening, Kathy.

Damn. Never thought of myself as a microwave. I don’t even use them.

[ConorMacNessa]

YOU ARE A KITCHENAID STAND MIXER WITH PASTA-MAKING ATTACHMENT!

When it comes to gustatory matters, you simply will not accept “second-best.” You would not dream of serving your family or friends store-bought pasta!

You have the resources, the knowledge and the resolve to bring your culinary dreams to fruition.

While you are known to be adventurous in the Kitchen, your practices are grounded in classic, time tried methods. Escoffier is your inspiration, followed by his accomplished acolyte James Beard.

Bon Appetit!

Apparently I’m a microwave:

You are good at getting things done quickly. You are efficient, even if you are a little sloppy.
You take life as it is, and you find happiness in a variety of things. You are easily pleased.

Whether you’re giving your opinion or sharing your dreams, you don’t keep anything in.
You stick with what works and avoid novelty for its own sake. You know there is no need to reinvent the wheel.

You Are the Space Heater

You are a positive, comforting influence. You make others feel comfortable and at ease.
Your biggest regret is not being able to help as many people as you'd like.

You blend in well, and you don't like to make waves. You prefer to stay out of trouble.
People love you just the way you are - flaws and all. You never claimed you were perfect.

Hi Everybody!
I am the coffeemaker.

That is what I predicted!

I drink a pot a day of the stuff...black, undiluted by any contaminants such as sugar or cream.

You take care of the things you own and the people you love. You like to make sure everything is in order.
Mellow and wise, you like to be with others but also to be alone. You seek a balance.

Geez, looks like May is coming in with a bang!
We're jumping right from the 60s-low 70s to the 80s.
I want to go back to the 70s.
Although low 80s is not bad if the humidity stays out of it.

Okay, since I'm back on schedule this morning
let me make my rounds and say my hellos.

But, you stay right where you are.
Keep the troops and their families entertained.

The Canteen is

Come on in and sit for a while.
There's always plenty of coffee, tea,
pancakes, conversation, silliness,
and plain old BS
