You're Right
A husband and wife were involved in a petty argument, both of them unwilling to admit they might be in error.
"I'll admit I'm wrong," the wife told her husband in a conciliatory attempt, "if you'll admit I'm right."
He agreed and, like a gentleman, insisted she go first.
"I'm wrong," she said.
With a twinkle in his eye, he responded, "You're right!"
Question and Answer
A father and son went fishing one day. After a couple hours in the boat, the boy suddenly became curious about the world around him.
He asked his father, "How does this boat float"?
The father thought for a moment, then replied, "Don't rightly know, son."
The boy returned to his contemplation, then turned back to his father, "How do fish breathe underwater"?
Once again, the father replied, "Don't rightly know, son."
A little later, the boy asked his father, "Why is the sky blue"?
Again, the father replied, "Don't rightly know, son."
Worried he was going to annoy his father, he says, "Dad, do you mind me asking you all of these questions"?
"Of course not, son. If you don't ask questions, you'll never learn anything!"

Rosy
When I think of Rosy, all I can think of is: To God Be The Glory
She's my college teacher who has been through a lot over the last 10 odd years. I have never met anyone as strong as she is, battling 3 different types of cancer and surviving 12 surgeries. Her body may have been battered and butchered by surgeons but her faith is strong. She is so optimistic and has never stopped believing God for a miracle.
To me, she is already God's miracle child. She is a living testimony that with God, anything is possible. He is Jehovah Shammah and Jehovah Rapha. He is our healer and is always present with us.
During her first cancer scare, she was battling breast and ovarian cancer. She survived that and was back in school teaching after a year. That was when I first met her. Having survived cancer, she taught me to live life to the fullest and how our lives must serve a purpose. Her purpose was in her dedication to her profession and students, moulding and shaping lives. She was the one who taught me how to open up my mind and look beyong the superficial.
The year I left college, she had spots in her liver and lungs. The spot in her liver was removed but not the ones in her lungs. She underwent chemotherapy for that to prevent them from spreading.
The third cancer scare was last January when she had a tumor in her spine. God is good and the surgeon managed to removed most parts of it while using radiation to tackle the rest.
This time, the tumour in her spine returned and she has undergone surgery to remove most parts of it. However, there are still some bits clinging on to the nerves, causing her pain in her right thigh. Just when the orthopedic surgeon has given up hope, God bless her neurosurgeon and modern technology. She will be undergoing radio surgery where gamma rays will be used to blast the tumours away.
However, they would be permanent side effects, from pain to numbness in her right thigh. I am believing God for a miracle for her once again, that the tumours can be removed with minimum side effects.
In all these things which are happening around me, I feel that God is reminding me that our lives are not lived according to our timing but to His. There is a time and season for everything and right now, I just wanna live out my purpose and be a comfort to people around me who have touched me deeply.

Colorgenics Test
Came across this colorgenics test from a friend's blog. Seeing it's 90% accurate for her, I decided to try it out at this link:
http://www.paulgoldin.com/colorgenics.htm
Here are my results... pretty accurate, I must say...
You work hard, seeking success. You are self-sufficient and in spite of all the trials and tribulations that have beset you in the past you carry on regardless. You are one to be admired because you pursue your objectives single-mindedly and with initiative. You know that you can 'do it' and what is more, you will - without necessarily being dependent upon the goodwill of others.
You 'need to be needed'. As an idealist you are intolerant of anything short of special consideration from those close to you. If you do not get what you seek you are apt to become reclusive and you will close the doors on all those within your sphere of influence.
You wear your heart on your sleeve and since you are an emotional person you are apt to give your all - heart and soul - to all those that show you a little affection; but take care - it would appear that you have been extremely hurt in the past and you keep leaving yourself wide open for punishment.
For some time now your hopes and expectations have been denied and because of this you are becoming withdrawn and introverted. Continual disappointment has manifested itself in you becoming both suspicious and restrained you have become withdrawn from others and have receded more and more into yourself. You seem to have lost your innate enthusiasm and imaginative nature, for fear that you may be carried away by it only to find that you are wasting your time. You loath to trust people, as in the past your trust has been misplaced. You seem to be keeping yourself cautiously aloof from others. At this moment in time your attitude is to trust nobody - until they can prove themselves to you.
You are presently worried about your future and you feel that whatever you do will go wrong. At this time you are your own worst enemy. All the disappointment that you have experienced, coupled with the fear that there is no point in formulating fresh goals, have led to anxiety. You would like recognition and a position of trust but you are concerned that these hopes and dreams may not be realised. You are very argumentative and insistent that you are right - maybe you are - but you are pushing too hard. Take it easy, let go, and smile. Smiling and agreeing with people works wonders - try it and see.
Try it out and see if it works for you.
