sunday's spiritual thought...

You see that a man is justified by works
and not by faith alone.
For just as the body without the spirit is dead,
so also faith without works is dead.

James 2:24, 26

rain, rain, go away...

it's beginning to look a lot like hawaii 2005 here in california...oh well. hopefully all this moisture will help the hills from catching on fire this summer.

in honor of the weather, a little musical tribute for your viewing pleasure:



ps: did you know that in the original 'singing in the rain' gene kelly had a 103 degree fever while filming the most infamous scene? and that they had to add milk to the 'rain' to make it look better on film?

sunday's spiritual thought...

In the confrontation between the stream and the rock,

the stream always wins - not through strength

but by perseverance.

i have to say that i find rachel ray to be one of the more annoying personalities on the food network-her little nicknames for everything, the fact that she laughs at her own jokes every two seconds...i practically have to watch her show on mute. however, when they introduced the new cooking channel, they also introduced rachel's first cooking show in 8 years: week in a day. the premise is simple, spend a few hours in the kitchen, and you'll have prepared a five day's worth of dinners that can be reheated later on. can i just say that i LOVE this idea. i always have tons of spare time on sundays, and find that i am super busy during the week, making preparing a nice home cooked meal difficult. hopefully the cooking channel will keep this show on for a while, because i find myself picking an choosing certain meals from each episode, according to my personal tastes.

getting back into the groove of things-sunday's spiritual thought...

Kind words can be short and easy to speak,

but their echoes are truly endless.
