You Are a Brazil Nut

To most people, you seem exotic, unusual, and even a bit scary.
But you're really quite normal. You're just hard to get to know.
If people leave you alone and let you do your thing, you really shine.
But you tend to get lost in a crowd, especially if it's filled with big personalities.

You Are a Walnut

You are down to earth and genuine.
Responsible and practical, you are a grown up in all aspects of your life.
You probably eat a healthy diet and get enough exercise.
And while you're not wild, you're not boring either. You're actually very deep and interesting.

Defragment
February 2, 2011

Every so often, my computer becomes sluggish. Frequent use of certain programs and documents causes pieces of information to become scattered, requiring my computer to search for the pieces before I can use them. To fix it, I need to run a program that retrieves the pieces and groups them together where they are easily accessible. This process is called “defragmentation.”

Like my computer, my life gets fragmented. One situation tugs on my emotions while I’m trying to concentrate on something else. Demands from every direction bombard me. I want to accomplish everything that needs to be done, but my mind won’t stop and my body won’t start. Soon I begin to feel weary and useless.

Recently I attended a retreat where one of the handouts included a prayer with words that expressed how I felt: “Lord, I am scattered, restless, and only half here.”

King David also went through such times (Ps. 55:2). In prayer, David presented his needs to God morning, noon, and evening, confident that he would be heard (v.17).

Prayer can help to defragment our lives. When we cast our cares on the Lord, He will show us what we need to do and what only He can do.

O Lord, we bring our restless hearts
To You in fervent prayer;
Now help us wait expectantly
While resting in Your care. —Sper

We need prayer the most when we have the least time to pray.

Read: Psalm 55:1-8

Cast your burden on the Lord, and He shall sustain you. —Psalm 55:22

Bible in a year:
Exodus 29-30; Matthew 21:23-46

Hi Kathy and thanks for tonight's Canteen!

You Are a Right-Wing Nut.

You are laid back, friendly, and easy going.
Compared to most people, you have a very mild temperament.
You blend in well. You're often the last person to get noticed.
But whenever you're gone, people seem to notice right away!

What Nut Are You?

Find the Man in the Coffee Beans

I found it in about 30 seconds….

THE TRICK IS TO FIND THE MAN IN THE COFFEE BEANS:
This is bizarre – after you find the guy – it’s so obvious. Once you find him – it’s embarrassing, and you think, why didn’t I see him immediately?

Doctors have concluded

Doctors have concluded that if you find the man in the coffee beans in 3 seconds, the right half of your brain is better developed than most people. If you find the man between 3 seconds and 1 minute, the right half of the brain is developed normally. If you find the man between 1 minute and 3 minutes, then the right half of your brain is functioning slowly and you need to eat more protein If you have not found the man after 3 minutes, the advice is to look for more of this type of exercise to make that part of the brain stronger!!!

And, yes, the man is really there!!!

Hello Veterans, wherever you are!!

Hey, Kathy!

I'm a peanut! That's not even a real nut - sort of a fauxnut.

You Are A Peanut

You are popular, even with people who tend to have picky taste.
Kids love you, as do dogs. From rednecks to snobs, most people have a place for you in their hearts.
As popular as you are, there are some people who can't be near you.
Don't take it too personally. There's just a few people you rub the wrong way.

You Are a Pistachio

You are funky, freaky, and a total character.
You're very different than anyone you know.
There's no way you're changing the way you are...
Which is good, because no one wants you to change.
