Today may have been perfect if not for this.

Falling Back

~ JodiLea

I hate the winter’s time change. Now it will get dark earlier and the sun will rise later. It takes me at least 2 weeks to get used to Standard Time.

I know, it’s only an hour. The point is, I have always been greatly annoyed by the whole idea. When I was a kid I would be an hour early for things because my parents did not think I needed to know. They did not change the clocks before they went to bed. I make sure that I change the important ones on Saturday night.

When I got older and learned more about the world, I found out that not all countries changed time. Not even all the states in the USA changed time. This was so unfair! I thought everyone suffered from this deal. Sigh.

I laughed my butt off when I saw this one

Peeve of the Day

~ JodiLea

Who keeps spreading the word about me?

I just wrote a post about happiness being temporary. Today proves that theory. I needed a crowbar to empty my PO box this morning. It was crammed full of holiday catalogs, advertisements for insurance, and a multitude of letters asking for money.

I do have a few causes I donate to. The American Diabetes Association, for one. I am a diabetic, and I like to get their magazine. That being said, I am tired of them sending me requests to donate twice a week. Stop killing trees, for Pete’s sake. I send money when I can. When I feel like it. I’m a diabetic, so it’s not like I could forget. Sheesh!

Over time, my address spread to other organizations that needed money. I have lived at this address for almost 10 years. I counted the number of agencies that were after me. In just the last week – 21 different ones. Does everyone get that many? New ones appear often, and that tells me my name & address are still being passed around. Probably, for long after I die, they will keep mailing me. Creepy thought.

When Jesus calls me from the grave, I worry his arms will be full of my junk mail. But that is just silly. I’m sure that He will delegate that to a sweet angel, who will help me recycle it.

Definitions of God

Your Dictionary Logo
Maybe they have the last , but it’s wrong.

According to the online Dictionary, YourDictionary.com, ‘God’ is defined as:

  • The (personification of the) laws of nature.
  • An impersonal and universal spiritual presence or force.
  • An image that is worshiped; idol.
  • A person or thing deified or excessively honored and admired.
  • Used variously, and in interjectional phrases, as an oath and as an expression of relief, determination, surprise, anger, etc.

I find these “definitions” reveal more about those at YourDictionary, than they do God.

The Merriam-Webster Dictionary defines ‘God’ as:

  • The supreme reality
  • The being who men worship as creator and ruler of the universe
  • a being or object believed to have more than natural attributes and powers and to require man’s worship
  • a person or thing of supreme value

Close, but too vague to have an opinion

In Roget’s International Thesaurus, Fourth Edition, ‘God’ is defined as:

  • Lord, Jehovah, Providence.
  • The Supreme Being
  • God Almighty
  • Almighty God
  • The Alpha and the Omega; the infinite being
  • Omnipotent, Omnipresent
  • All knowing, all merciful, all Holy
  • King of Kings, Lord of Lords
  • The Maker, the Creator of all things

Roget pulled those definitions straight from the Bible. I have seen these in the Bible myself, along with a few other ones. My favorite? “Hearer of Prayers”
