Can you hear it?

I had to listen to this to believe it, but there is actually a new ring tone for cell phones...what is unique about it? Adults cannot hear it. It was invented so that students could use their cell phones in class without getting caught. Go figure. Apparently, if you are about thirty or older you cannot hear the high pitched ring tone. My sister and I tried it, her two kids and myself could hear it, but she could not. You can read an article about it and see if you can hear it at this link:

More wisdom from Lydia Brownback

On her blog, The Purple Cellar, Lydia has started writing on the current debate that remaining single is a sin. Check out both of these posts: The Singleness Wars, The Sin of Singleness? I appreciate how she is addressing this issue. She addresses it very biblically and humbly without slandering the teachers whom she disagrees with. Lately I have felt that several Christians blogs are just battle grounds for believers to attack one another. Lydia sets a good example of how to stand for truth without putting up unnecessary walls with the church.

Bloggers Block...

...as oppose to writers block. I know I have been a terrible blogger. I am trying to get back in the swing of things. I have a few topics I am going to write about in the near future. Also, I had to order a part for my camera so it will be up and running again soon! Just to update you on what is going on with me...I joined Jackson Sports & Fitness and I LOVE it. The exercise classes in the evenings are actually addicting. Not only do I feel better when I work out, but it has been a great way to meet new people. The Body Sculpting and Step and Strike classes are a challenging. Body Sculpting includes lunges, squats and weight lifting. Step and Strike is a mixture of cardio, kick boxing, weights, and tons of sweat!!! Both are challenging for me but I love it. I also have been taking Pilates and Yoga. In both classes the room is dark except for a little 'soft' lamp light. We stretch our bodies into positions I did not think possible (some are STILL not possible for me). It is a great way to relax after a long day or to stretch after Step and Strike. Having a gym membership has taken up a lot of my time in the evenings, so I have to adjust my schedule so that I can still get everything done. I am a person who needs structure and a plan or I will just waste all my time, so I try to plan nearly every minute of my day. I would love it if you would pray that I would be better at prioritizing my time and more disciplined in reading. I realized this morning that I am in front of a computer for almost 10 hours a day, five days a week. Some of this cannot be avoided because I work behind a desk for 9 hours a day, but this could explain why I am not so productive in other areas and why I am getting a headache on almost a daily basis (which will be addressed with an eye doctor this afternoon). Thanks for reading and for praying!
