Seize the Moment: Go Out and Have Fun

I was doing yard work the other day and I always have my camera in handy if in case I saw something awesome to capture. Then, I saw this beautiful creature. You know, life is too short. Let us learn to appreciate all the good things and the comfort that we have right now. The gift of life itself is already a blessing.

Though we may have something that is impossible to have or wishes that is impossible to realized ... but, time will tell. Let the Creature Above takes control of our lives and let us continue to live a happy and contented life. Things happen for a reason and as long as we breathe, let us strive to be happy and pray to God to make us strong amidst the trials that we have right now. God loves you and I know in my heart, someone out there cares and love you more than you know.

Have a good one today and cast your burden away. Just like this butterfly, spread your wings and inspire others by showing them that though you are vulnerable and weak, you have God to lean on who is mighty and powerful. Do not spend your day worrying but, go out and have fun. We live one day at a time so; today is a blessing that we should enjoy. We don't know what tomorrow comes so; seize the moment. Thanks for stopping by.

Dolphins at Indian River

When my yoga products arrived in the mail the other day, I told hubby that I will take photos of me wearing it. The best location would be down the Indian River. I brought my tripod and hubby was at the picnic table sitting and chatting with someone on the phone. Then, as I was taking pictures, I saw these ...

The tail of a fish ... and hubby saw it too. As I focus the camera, its a school of dolphin on the Indian River heading south bound. Well, that's going off to Merritt Island and to the open Atlantic sea. As I counted, there were 6 of them and they're in good size.

They're just swimming quietly, not wanting to get noticed. I usually saw Dolphins swimming and jumping along NASA Parkway at Indian River Lagoon. Here, this will be my first time and the sight was awesome!

I wish to see them jumping over the water, showing and raising their whole bodies. Well, this sight is good for me at the moment. It was our lucky day.

Let Yourself Enjoy New Zealand

New Zealand is one of the most amazing countries in the world. It boasts splendid landscapes and profuse natural resources. If you plan to buy your own house in New Zealand but you can't afford to pay for it completely or you have a bad credit history, I suggest you have to settle first all your unsecured loans for bad credit. Find someone that can provide you friendly assistance to help you to fully understand the important details concerning your case.

When you own house, there are several things to contemplate especially when this regards to the climate. During winter the temperature in New Zealand ranges between 10 and 15 Degree Celsius, but if your home is located in the mountainous area where snow usually appears, then you really have to mull over home insulation. Make an inquiry also regarding Security Gates, your home needs to be secured especially when you are not familiar in the new location.

Furthermore, to help you manage your everyday expenditure without troubling yourself, you can apply at payday loans. With this company, you can immediately receive the funds along with their accommodating support. They can be your partner during your financial difficulty, most especially in the current state of the world's economy. Don't burden yourself with all the financial problems.

Road Trip to Keytesville Missouri

When hubby and I went to Missouri last October, this sighting is so fascinating for me. I have seen movies about Amish but, I never seen one in person. You know, with the clothes they wear, simple way of living and riding in their Amish buggy.

As we drove down the country road to Keytesville, Missouri, hubby turn to a dirt road. No road signs and all we could see was vast bare land and father down the road, fields of farm. The cellphone lost signal, GPS lost signal and we haven't seen a single human being for 30 minutes. There were houses but, it seemed no one was there. Then, we saw ordinary houses with clothesline hang to dry at their front yard and a park buggy. We saw nobody. 

We were afraid to stop and ask. Oh yeah, we were lost.  There was a tower that we saw and we follow that tower and thank goodness, we saw a pick up car. We asked the man where to find the Lake Nehai. The man said, we are on the right location but, we were at the back gate. We have to hurry because at certain time, it will be close. 

In short, we were lost for more than an hour driving on the dirt road, and off to the Amish neighborhood. We actually saw three Amish men but, they were not friendly looking. We arrived to our destination safely and our brand new car was covered in dust! Thick dust as a matter of fact. 

It was exciting an exciting experience but, I was not able to take photos because we were nervous. On the next day, we went to an Amish Store and I love their store. I saw real Amish people. They are friendly and the ladies at the store seemed shy and observant. Again, much as I wanted to take photos of them, just can't. I don't know if they are okay with that or they might get offended. They are pretty, the ladies in the Amish store.

Experience is Important in a Truck Accident Lawyer

Automobile accidents are among the most common causes of personal injuries. People are usually injured by the negligence of another driver on the road, and in some cases the driver of that other vehicle is in a truck. Truck accidents tend to be some of the most complicated because of the sheer potential for injury, and the reality that a truck driver is in service to their employer, who will defend them. Because these accidents can be so complicated, it is important to seek the advice of a lawyer. It is of paramount importance to find a Baton Rouge truck accident lawyer with experience in these kinds of cases.

Complications 

Experience is of particular importance to truck accident cases because these cases are so complicated. They are complicated because trucks are almost always driven by an employee in the due process of their work. When the employee is driving in the service of their employer, then the employer is held responsible for whatever accident their employee might cause. In practical terms, this means that when an individual is hit by a truck, it is the truck driver's company who has to pay. Companies often do their best to avoid paying victims, so the case will get more complicated thanks to their involvement. 

Injuries 

Cases involving truck drivers are also complicated because of the sheer potential for injury that results when an individual in their car is hit by something the size of a truck. Injuries are complicated because of the long-lasting effects they can have on the victim's life. Sometimes injuries are simple, nothing more than broken bones that can be handled in a few visits to the doctor's office and have a definite sum of money that can handle the bills. However, accidents involving trucks usually lead to more severe injuries. Injuries that are severe will result in damage that lasts anywhere from a year to the rest of a victim's life. It is more difficult to determine the amount of money necessary to compensate a victim for these severe injuries, which is why a Baton Rouge truck accident lawyer is necessary.

Blooming with Flowers

I went out to check my plants and my gardenia is blooming perfectly despite the scorching heat. Some leaves of my other plants withered but, my grapes are looking good.  Grapes starting to get bigger and i hope I can eat them before insects harvest them. So far, I am happy with my gardenia. Looking pretty in the summer.

Here are some of the buds and I can't wait to see the white fragrant flower in bloom.

A Snake at the School Courtyard Ground

During the Kingdom Rock #VBS where I took charge of the crafts for Pre-School, one of the parent volunteer asked me to assist her in prepping for the games at the courtyard ground. As I was about to scatter the accessories for the game, this creepy thing is what I saw. Oh my goodness! I run away the moment I saw it!

I know that they are not poisonous. A friend in Alabama like this type of snake in his property because they ate rat so; he called this snake "rat snake". One of the parent volunteers heard me say it but thought I was saying Rattle Snake. She corrected and said it's not a rattle snake, it's a black snake. LOL. The kids and I were looking at her and said yes, it is a black snake and it is harmless. I think she keep insisting that I said "rattle snake" LOL. Oh, diction ...  diction ... diction... I am not even slang, LOL.

First Day of Kingdom Rock

The Kingdom Rock is a very interesting strategy to teach the Christian children about God. There is a Daily Bible Point which is carefully integrated into each day's activities for an unforgettable faith formation. Day 1, the children were able to know by heart that "God's love helps us ... stand strong!". The photo below is Day 1 scenario where the Lady (head of the whole kingdom (*v*) was leading the kingdom for a prayer, introducing Truman, the Bible Body and so much more.Some crews were still busy finalizing the total numbers of children and volunteers. Safety for everyone was given the top priority.

The photo below was when the children started to learn the song, they sing and dance, and had a great time participating.

During Snack time, the children went to the King's Kitchen and before eating, they wiped their hands with using the wet wipes. The Lady in the King's Kitchen show them how to make a heart shape before eating their sandwiches. Teaching how God loves us. It was pretty interesting.

After the King's Kitchen, they went to the Chadders Theater and the children receives the Truman Bible Memory Buddy. They wear the Bible Buddy as a necklace. The Pre-school children were pretty behave listening attentively to the story of Chadder, the Chipmunk.

Children heads back to the Pre-School Kingdom and do the crafts. First day, we let them color and design their crown. Finally, the games for the day were Sheep Herding, Follow the Shepherd and Where's the Heart. That was fun!

Fanfare Finale for Day 1 was interesting. We all went back to the dome and see the video who is caught in action and starring for the day. A volunteer photographer was taking photos i every kingdom. The Lady at the dome was showing the children an experiment of balloons. Children saw which balloon stands strong!
