On this day I would like everyone to note that I, Helen Diboll has NOTHING to do! This is the first day is a VERY long time that my phone is not going off reminding to be somewhere or to call someone to make an appointment! It feels so weird to just be at the house with nothing really to do. Now there is always a floor to vacuum(did yesterday) or a room to dust(yesterday as well) but I have all day so why do it all right now(again) :) Before the kids went to school I had the refrigerator cleaned out of all the old stuff and wiped out clean so I was on a roll before most were up today. So anyways, if you know me you will know that I am kind of in a shock not knowing what to do with my day or myself! I could go shopping but I don't think JR would like that too much or I could go in Zac's room and clean it out,but I don't think he would like that very much so WHAT SHOULD I DO TODAY?? just askin'.....

Saturdays

On Fridays I work with a lady helping her clean a house that she has been cleaning for 30 years. She is getting older and I was brought in to basically do things she cant do. We talk a lot and she asked me a question a couple weeks ago that I cant stop thinking about. She asked me " Why does the Church of Christ not keep the Sabbath day Holy"? She goes to church on Saturdays and they believe that Jesus wanted it that way. Her whole family besides her is Church of Christ and no one can answer that question for her. I personally couldn't answer the question either. I asked her what about taking the Lord's Supper on the first day of the week and she couldn't answer my question. I feel that Saturday's not kept Holy and it is not just the Church of Christ that doesn't keep it Holy. She said what gives us the right to change what the Bible says. I don't think we changed what the Bible says to do but she really made me think. What are your thoughts. Are we supposed to keep the last day of the week Holy?

Your thougths please....

What are your thoughts on re-baptism? I have had somebody recently be very passive when it came to the subject of re-baptism. I was going to ask why he thought the way he did but I didn't want to start something, so I thought I would start it here.

When I was around 12 years old I was at Youth In Action with my Youth group from church. One night all my friends went forward after one of the speakers spoke and I thought they were getting baptized, so I went forward and said I wanted to be baptized. Come to find out they were just asking for prayers! It was too late I had to go through with it. I didn't want to say PSYCH or just kidding, I was 12 years old remember, I was just doing what everybody else was doing...so when I got more mature and actually knew what baptism was about I wanted to get re-baptized for the RIGHT reasons. Now should have just not done that and I said "my bad God, now I get it" or was what I did the right thing? What are your thoughts. I was doing what I felt I needed to do.....just sayin'

the two just dont mix!

These two things do not equal anything good when one, is in another! Today just hasn't been a very lucky day for me! As most of you know about a month ago my Palm Treo took a swim into the very nsaty and very green pool when I was trying to get it clean. Well, I got a new phone and today my new phone decides to jump out of my back pocket and dive into the lovely toilet at my parents house! What is it with my phone and wanting to swim? I cant imagine why they would want to dive into such a nasty place, I mean really!!

So my poor phone is now drying out and it will turn on for a second then it will start trying to text and do voice commands. If my phone calls you and there is no one at the other end....SORRY!

WHAT A DAY!!! just sayin'. Hope everyone had a better day than I did :)

2009 is coming!

I can not wait for 2009. So much happened in 2008 that I wish hadn't happened and some things that I am glad happened. I am not a person to make New Years Resolutions. I don't believe in them. I feel it sets you up for failure and I just don't want that. I do keep in my mind things I would like to accomplish but if I don't get them done, then maybe next year Lord willing I will get them done. I absolutely hate when people say I am going to loose weight and start my diet January 1st. Why not start now? Why wait until Monday or new years day?? In one of the blogs I read, they said here is a list of things I will not do in 2009, I still think you are setting yourself up, but whatever. So I am going to say "I will try to do these things". First, I want to be healthy. I want to get to a point where I feel great about myself and my appearance. Second, I want to learn to forgive and be happy. I am going to start now and not wait until 2009 though, just sayin' :)

Be done, move on!

Why do people these days feel they have to drag something out till there isn't anything to drag anymore? I just don't get why people can't forgive and move on. I am speaking to myself too! This world would be a happier place to live in if we were taught to love more and forgive more. Everyone at some point in their life has been hurt by someone and I think everyone just needs to grow up and move on. In class one Wednesday night a lady spoke up and said," You may ask God for forgiveness and he forgive you, but you still have to deal with the consequences that your sin brought on". I do think that is true to a point, but at sometime that consequences has to fade away! Be done, move on! Just sayin'

RAIN RAIN

GO AWAY! It just had to rain on the day I am getting all dressed up, what's up with that?! I am thankful for the rain dont get me wrong but,today why oh why!!!!
