Live Wisely among those who are not believers, and make the most of every opportunity. Let your conversation be gracious and attractive so that you will have the right response for everyone. Colossians 4:6

I had a conversation the other day with a man who's daughter goes to the same preschool as my daughter. He felt that the technology of today makes people too exposed. Everyone knows everything about you and everyone's business. I agree that it can be a bit overwhelming especially with those teenagers and sometimes adults that don't have any filters. I have of late been commenting less and posting less on Facebook. I might share a picture now and then so our family and distant friends can keep in touch. I don't see the point though, of giving everyone a play by play of my day. Unless I feel it might edify someone I try not to comment. Just so I protect myself from my own hypocrisy later on I'll just say this is a rule for myself and sometimes I break those. :) I don't see the harm of making a joke on someones comment, sharing something exciting you did etc...

Lead a life worthy of your calling, for you have been called by God. Always be humble and gentle. Be patient with each other, making allowance for each others faults because of your love. Ephesians 4:1-2

I have struggled so much in life with speaking my mind before thinking, being too judgmental, being insensitive to others because I'm task orientated. (I'm sure there's more but id rather not dwell on my deficiencies or my husband may come home to a depressed wife. i always climb out of it though. :) ) This is why I try, with all my might sometimes, to not comment or express my opinion on Facebook, here, Google+ etc... Sometimes I find my self about to comment, I may type in three of four different sentences and then i just cancel it. Why do I have to say anything at all?!
I do appreciate Facebook though. It is such a great tool to keep in touch with people.
I'm a Christian! Do people know it online? I hope so.

Its been awhile...

Sorry its been awhile since Ive posted a Blog. I haven't really been confident in what to write or not. I'm still suprised anybody would even care what I have to say.
I guess I'll just let you know what some of my favorite things are right now. I know its kind of shameless to make plugs on here but I'm going to do it anyway.
1. THE HUNGER GAMES!
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Hunger_Games
Its such a fun, well written, book series. I know its all the rage right now. Some people, trying to be hip, would stay away from such trends but, I think that would be the wrong decision. You'll be missing out on a good read. The movie is coming out next friday. I will be going day of. Can't wait!
2. Making New Foods!
http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/the-best-of/ranchmans-steak-butter-recipe/index.html
I have made a few new recipes the past few weeks. Some of them have been simple syrup, which I use to mak my own lemonade and sweet tea, steak butter, its filled with herbs and spices and makes your steack taste that much better, cottage pie which ive always made shepherbs pie but this recipe is much better. (I think that might be a runon sentence.)
3. Downton Abbey!
http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/masterpiece/downtonabbey/
This is one of the best shows on TV right now. Ive cried, laughed, and felt for these characters more than I have on most other shows. I don't know how they make you care. I am looking forward to season 3. Oh my goodness, I think I mat have to wait till January, the horror!
This may seem like a lame Blog but oh well. I hope to be back on here sooner than later. Thanks for reading and remember, this Blog is a tool for me to be a better communicator so please comment below.
Till next time, Rachael
