Food for Thought...Venting and Just Sayin'




Oh, the wandering mind! We see so much.

Oh yeah! moment...Separated at birth: David Caruso and Conan O'Brien

Teevee 1: If you watch closely, Nothing is missing from the burger when Ray Ray on the Mickey D commercial, says, "Sorry, double dribble."
Teevee 2: First episode of "Unforgettable," Poppy is seen walking toward her bed while removing her shirt and placing a tank top over her bare back. When we see her reliving a scene in the alley, you can see a bra strap...Just sayin'
Teevee 3: How long before we see the toilet paper bear sitting on the commode? And, do you really buy insurance because a cave man wears a cheerleader dress? Does it cause you to wonder about the IQ of the person who okays the commercials? Does it make you wonder what he actually thinks about YOU?
Teevee 4: I won't EVEN talk about pitches for you to ask about drugs with more side effects than benefits OR ads that portray husbands and fathers as mental midgets.

"No Kidding/DUH Award" radio commercial: "When they're gone, they're gone!"

From Page 279 of, "The Shack"





"Most of us have our own grief, broken dreams, and damaged hearts, each of us our unique losses, our own "shack." I pray you find the same grace there that I did, and that the abiding presence of Papa, Jesus, and Sarayu will fill up your inside emptiness with joy unspeakable and full of glory." (The author's words)

You needn't be of a particular religion or of any at all to be taken into the experience of one Mackenzie Allen Phillips. You needn't have experienced any trauma at all to be taken on such an emotional trek. You needn't believe in any "supreme being" or "higher power" to be impacted by the tale. Allow yourself a mind-clearing breath or two, prior to stepping aboard. DO read the foreward! It will prepare you for the style, humor and interpretation of the author, Wm. Paul Young.

Not reading anywhere NEAR as I did previously, this was not easy to put aside. Being that I began after dark, I did finish the following day..........Compelling, to say the least!
