Okay, so I've changed the name of my blog (if you hadn't noticed) to "The Glass Half-Full". I was explaining to Jon what a "blog" was (yes, he lives in the dark ages!) and told him I wanted a catchier title. I am sometimes so boring, and it is hard for me to come up with good stuff...he has good ideas. I told him my direction, and he (knowing me so well), suggested this title. I must admit I am a "glass half-full" kind of person.

I try not to see only negative in any situation (some it is near impossible NOT to), but I do hate negativity. Don't enjoy being around it, and don't want any part of it! I love to be happy, I love to smile at others and see them happy! I try to show the love of Christ through my "happiness". So, do you all like the new name? The other just seemed so "lack-luster" (I'm pulling out a Cheech word now...woo hoo!) :)

I have many things on my heart and many thoughts and Scriptures that the Lord gives to me throughout any given day. I think today I will use the verse "Set your affections on things above, not on things on the earth." It is way too easy to get caught up in having the latest and greatest, and the name brands, and all the other things that just try to pull us away from "looking up". None of this "stuff" matters in the scope of eternity, yet we place such high importance on it that it oftentimes takes the place of God in our lives (until there's a crisis that only He can fix). I am guilty of this as well, but trying to change my way of thinking. Maybe old age does that to ya..I am going to be 37 (wow!) next month!

So, see if you can think of that verse this week when you find yourself pining after that "thing" you think you need (or want)...Not saying there's anything wrong with having, just putting it all in perspective!
