I smelled something burning, so I hurried to the kitchen. Nothing was on the stove or in the oven. I followed my nose through the house. From room to room I went, eventually ending up downstairs. My nose led me to my office and then to my desk. I peeked beneath it and there, peering back at me with big eyes pleading for help, was Maggie, our dog, our very fragrant dog. What smelled like something burning when I was upstairs, now had the distinct odor of skunk. Maggie had gone to the farthest corner of our house to escape the foul smell, but she couldnt get away from herself.
Maggies dilemma brought to mind the many times I have tried to run away from unpleasant circumstances only to discover that the problem was not the situation I was in but me. Since Adam and Eve hid after sinning (Gen. 3:8), weve all followed their example. We run away from situations thinking we can escape the unpleasantnessonly to discover that the unpleasantness is us.
The only way to escape ourselves is to stop hiding, acknowledge our waywardness, and let Jesus wash us clean (Rev. 1:5). I am grateful that when we do sin, Jesus is willing to give us a brand-new start.

You’re the type of person who believes that something worth doing is worth doing well.
You have high standards for other people, but you also have high standards for yourself. You expect competence.
You are adept and proficient. You master any skill you set out to learn, and you’re quite the renaissance man or woman.
You are both smart and talented. You’re capable of almost anything you decide to take on!
Sounds about right to me.
You Are Reasonable |
You're a bastion of sanity in this insane world, and people know that they can count on you. You aren't likely to get swept away in the moment. You have both feet firmly planted on the ground. You are modest and humble. You always keep your ego in check and sometimes wonder why others can't do the same! |
Good evening! Hope you’re getting stronger! :)

Thank you for this evenings thread & sending you “healing” thoughts & prayers! *Hugs*
You Are Carefree |
You keep everything fun and breezy. You are always up for a good time. You're the type of person that likes to bend the rules. For you, pleasure often comes first. You love to indulge in the occasional (or more than occasional) treat. And you love to share your treats with others. |
I don’t mind the triple ping.
I always look forward to your posts!

At least the sun is out this morning.
Now I want a sandwich. Guess I'll walk over to Subway for lunch.
But first, I need another cup of coffee.
Gotta make my rounds.
But, please 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
