Some Things I Love

.....and a few I don't. Ok, so, Valentine's Days is over I know, but, I wanted to do this post anyway. I have a few things I am loving right now, and thought I'd share. And, of course no one loves everything, so I'm gonna share some things I am just sick of too. 
  Pinterest- Oh my! If you are not on Pinterest, you need to be. There are so many interesting things on there that I am going to do a post on just that. All the things I have tried thus far. One thing I will share now, Ive learned that there is nothing that 15 mins. and baking soda will not remove. Ha!
  Olives- Yup, olives. I hated olives until about a year ago. I really had never tried them. They just looked strange to me, lol. Now I am constantly reaching for that jar to snatch a few.
  YMCA- I never, ever thought that would be on a list of things I love, but, I am enjoying going more and more. Which leads right into the next new love...
  People Watching- ok, I know I probably shouldn't admit to it, but I am a people watcher. I walk 3 miles on the treadmill and while I have the tv on and am watching it, I can't help but to look around and see what others are doing, watching, wearing, etc. Did you know that even the commercials on Telemundo are not in English!? I've never saw the things mentioned on those commercials. Did you also know that some women do not EVER need to wear spandex pants. {enough said on that} Also, man, I am walking and sweating at walking at 3 mph, and little miss hot shot jumps on the treadmill beside me and takes into running at 8 mph. Yeah, don't like her or her swishing ponytail. {I kid....(not)}. 
  Google- where would I be without Google? Kids ask a question, ask Google, ha! Lately I have been Googling shows the kids used to watch when they were toddlers. They don't seem to remember many of them. Which is funny since some are just burned into my brain. Uggh.
  And of course, these are all just stupid things no one really cares about but me, and yes, I love my family with all my heart. God too! These are just things. Now, onto some I don't like at the moment.
  The Kardashians-I sooo wish these people would GO AWAY! What is with them, why are they so popular? Everytime Im flipping channels, there they are! WHY!?
   Everyone's a Winner, politically correct- . No, everyone is not a winner, no every kid does not deserve to win a trophy or get an award for fear of hurt feelings, yes, it is ok to discipline your child, please. I know  "they" say this  will lead to children being serial killers.  I have never won anything, well there was the Victoria Secret card this year, but that's it, and anyways, I am fine! I have been grounded many times. Haven't killed anyone...yet. I despise the term politically correct. Yuck!
  Tolerance- God does love everyone, he is a God full of love, but he is also a jealous God and one to be feared. God does not love sin, any sin, and we all sin. To say you do not sin, is a lie which is a sin, so there ya go. God lays out rules just as your parents did, and you follow those rules. God also gave us The Bible to study, and learn from, just like you did in school. He expects us to read it, and live by it. All of it. That means when He said something is wrong, it's wrong. Period. Just because it is now "cool" to be tolerant doesn't mean it's right. It's not ok to sin and ask for forgiveness on Sunday then return to that same sin on Monday, etc. I have many friends and family, all of different faiths, and while I love them all dearly, I do not always agree on how they live.
Ok, I am stepping off my soapbox now. If you have made it this far, thanks for reading. I will leave with this great verse for Valentine's Day....

               Proverbs 15:13- A happy heart makes the face cheerful.

Now, I need to remember that verse!
