Where is the Comment Box?? New Comment System

I am trying a new comment system from Intense Debate.  It allows me to answer each reply individually.   However the system doesn't seem to be showing the comments made and doesn't show how to comment.  If you click on the title of the post the comment box will open.  I will try this out but if it doesn't work then I'll delete it. :)

Sunday Words of Encouragment April 11, 2010

This morning our Pastor had another good message that contained more than one message (INHO). He did not present it this way and this is my summary; the scriptures he did provide with Galations 6:1-10 as the primary text.
1) Recognize that we are all sinners 1 John 1:8; Gal 6:1b
2) Dislike (I try never to expend energy in "hate") the sin, but love the sinner. Gal 6:2-4
3) Be compassionate, humble and gentle in addressing issues and seeking restoration Gal 6:1; but do not enable the sinner. We must each learn to be responsible for our own actions. Gal 6:5.
4) Do not grow weary in well doing. Gal 6:9 and 2 Thess 3:13.
5) You will reap what you sow. Gal 6:10.

I couldn't help but be reminded of the book Heart of Compassion that I reviewed a few weeks ago. There they showed compassion and helped the homeless help themselves! The story fits perfectly with today's message.

Here is another song I found last week that I had never heard but it is quite awesome and beautiful!
Lost in Wonder (You Chose the Cross) by Martyn Layzell

Verses for today:
Galatians 6:4-5
4Pay careful attention to your own work, for then you will get the satisfaction of a job well done, and you won’t need to compare yourself to anyone else. 5For we are each responsible for our own conduct.

I am praying today for those with addictions who need direction to get help but who must be willing to change before anyone else can help them.

A #Readathon Mini Challenge Story from My Review Books

During the #Readathon Sheila at Bookjourney issued this mini challenge:


As book lovers we do enjoy a good story!  Here is what this challenge will consist of:


Write a short story using Book Titles to make your story.  Your story should be three or four paragraphs long and have at least 10 book titles within it.  (*Bold the book titles to make them more obvious)
Feel free to post this to your blog (for two entries) and then leave me the link here in the comment area -or if you would rather, place your story in the comment area here for one entry.

I saw this "game" a week or so ago at Riding with the Top Down using just a few books for quick sayings and was thinking of posting on it.

So here goes my short story using all my current review books and four other TBR books that were in the box by my computer:

The White Wolf of Avalon, struck with Uncertain Magic couldn't get good Traction.  He had assumed The Guise of a Gentleman and he had to get to The Brothers of Gwynedd near The Wild Irish Sea before The Fire Lord's Lover went Missing. No one could explain his Primal Obsession to travel that Journey to Forgiveness.  He would offer her The Sun and The Moon and banish The Raindrop that saddened her if only he could reach her in time. Although he knew that God Never Blinks he was also aware that Heroes Die Too Young. He couldn't take that chance.

Check in on Comment Tuesday this week for the picture words I have made from the box of books I have won.  I have used three or four per phrase. Maybe you want to get some ready to share too!

Good #Readathon Break - Check out Some Magical Photos!

I was online a bit today cheering for #Readathon before I realized I had to finish my taxes.*

At one point I went to check out a review of The Maze Runner at Along for the Ride.

As always, I have to look around when I visit a new blog.  Sara follows a meme called Daily Dose Monday that features inspiring/magical images.  I thought the pictures she has posted are just wonderful! I got her okay to post about it and I encourage you to go take a look! I'm not planning on adding another Monday meme here but I may visit Sara's just to see her latest collection of pics!



*The taxes may not seem a big deal but for me I have to review two business profit and loss accounts and make sure entries are in the correct catagories because my assistant (my sweet daughter - and yes I paid her) is not a trained bookkeeper.  Then I have to figure out mortgage interest, look up interest paid, check car records for allocation, and calculate depreciation. That goes into a spreadsheet for each company. Then I have my numbers so I can do my Company taxes which I have to complete before I do our personal taxes. Now ask me: Why in the world do I wait till the last weekend? For 2010 it will be three business. Oh Sigh!

#Readathon Cheer for A-C Readers!

Sometimes it seems a burning need;
I can't do anything but read.
Must keep on reading till it's done.
That's all part of the #readathon!

YOU CAN DO IT All you A-C readers!!

GOOOO TEAM KEATS!
