Charles Schultz Philosophy

I have a busy week so I won't be posting much. But I found this to share.

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

The following is the philosophy of Charles Schultz, the creator of the "Peanuts" comic strip.


You don't have to actually answer the questions. Just read it straight through, and you'll get the point.

1. Name the five wealthiest people in the world.
2. Name the last five Heisman trophy winners.
3. Name the last five winners of the Miss America Contest.
4. Name ten people who have won the Nobel or Pulitzer Prize.
5. Name the last half dozen Academy Award winners for best actor and actress.
6. Name the last decade's worth of World Series winners.

How did you do?

The point is, none of us remember the headliners of yesterday. They are not second-rate achievers. They are the best in their fields.
But the applause dies. Awards tarnish. Achievements are forgotten. Accolades and certificates are buried with their owners.

Here's another quiz.
See how you do on this one:

1. List a few teachers who aided your journey through school.
2. Name three friends who have helped you through a difficult time.
3. Name five people who have taught you something worthwhile.
4. Think of a few people who have made you feel appreciated and special..
5. Think of five people you enjoy spending time with.

Easier?

The lesson:
The people who make a difference in your life are NOT the ones with the most credentials, the most money, or the most awards. They are the ones who care.

Laugh at yourself each and every day. If you can make the problems you face funny, or at least see them in a different light, they will probably cease being a problem.

Meet My Husband, Tom

Tom is his name.
Coffee is his game.
I find his cups all over the house.
He has a "story" about his coffee.
One day he poured himself a cup of coffee.
And the story goes like this:
He heats it up, adds more, leaves it out,
heats it up, adds more, leaves it out. This is repeated several times a day.
Sometime he changes the cup. He likes it this way!
Weird, I know but you don't know Tom, like his family does.

Tom is the funniest man I know.

He makes me laugh all day long.

He can be serious but not for long.

Several years ago he went into alcohol treatment.

We, his family, had an intervention done on him.

It was one of the hardest things I have ever done.

But we all came through to the other side and are so much better for it.

Today, Tom is a different man!

We laugh, we play and we have fun.

God is first in our lives.

Everyday we start out spending time in prayer together.

He has started a blog.

He saw how much fun Kimmy (our daughter) and I were having.

It is not like any other blog I have ever read.

But his personality does come through.

If you are a daring person, stop by and read some of his thoughts.

Warning!

It is weird!

31 Years Ago Today.....

Happy Anniversary to my parents!!

This is their daughter Kimmy writing. One of the fun things about being such great friends with my mom is that she shares everything with me, including her password for her blog!!!!! So......I stole their wedding album, scanned some photos and loaded them onto the blog.

Bridesmaids : Erika (my cousin, their niece), Kate ( friend), my mom, Didi (maid of honor and moms best friend), Jeane (sister in-law married to my mom's brother)

Groomsmen: Bill (friend), Wayne (friend), my dad, Dale (friend), Bob (dad's brother)

Oscar & Lynn (dad's parents), Tom & Chris, Pat & Jack (mom's parents)So after the wedding my parents took off for their honeymoon........no, not Hawaii, guess again........Whitefish Montana!! They went skiing!!

They took the Amtrak from Seattle over to Montana. The day they arrived it was pouring rain, not the kind of weather anyone wants on their honeymoon. The next morning they woke up to BEAUTIFUL blue skies and sun, perfect skiing weather!

I want to wish my parents a Happy Anniversary. Thank you for being such a great example to Todd, Stephanie, Mark and I. Your marriage has been a great testimony to what the Lord can do when you put Him first. We love you very much!
