Home Decor: Carolina Palm Tree

http://fineartamerica.com/featured/palm-tree-ii-c-f-legette.html
The leaves have been eaten as hearts of palm.
The bristles on the sheaths of young leaves have been made into scrubbing brushes.
The trunks have been used as platforms for ships.
It is the state tree for South Carolina.

Some say success will come in your near future,
if you gather pineapples or eat them.
 
Pricking your finger while preparing
 brings pleasure and success.

High Five Inventor

http://espn.go.com/espn/story/_/page/Mag15historyofthehighfive/who-invented-high-five
 
 The Beginning of The High Five
 
Oh how well I remember that day. I was about eleven years old and had just three sixtied a dunk in the Whittaker Elementary school yard basketball court. At that time I think it was the first dunk ever done also. I turned around and there was a young fella with a not pad and pen sitting near the court. This was the first time that I had seen him there. So, I walked up to him with curiosity. Immediately he jumped up...still excited in seeing that three sixty. He asked what was that. I said ...oh that was a dunk.  "Wow!" He said as he jumped up trying to imitate it. I didn't realize that at the time. My hand went up also and they met in mid air. The sound echoed throughout the playground. It was then that I realized that we had done something good. We slapped hands again. This time everyone was looking. Soon everyone was doing it when they felt good or did something extra ordinary.
 
So I guess it was the little fella on the side of the court that day that invented the High-five. That little boy with the note pad was of course Brian Williams.

Don't Worrry

 
 
 
Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done. Then you will experience God’s peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus.
Philippians 4:6-7

It's Tulip Time At The Biltmore

It's a great time of the year to tour the Biltmore in Ashville NC. The weather is perfect for a picnic in the green grass front lawn or in the garden. There is something for everyone to enjoy. I always thought of Christmas as the best time. However, after this visit I'm convinced that anytime is a good time. There is always something new to see.




Honesty In All You Do

 
 
The Lord abhors dishonest scales,
but an accurate weight is his delight.
When pride comes, then comes disgrace,
but with humility comes wisdom.
The integrity of the upright guides them,
but the crookedness of the unfaithful destroys them.
Wealth does not profit in the day of wrath,
but righteousness delivers from mortal danger.
The righteousness of the blameless will make straight their way,
but the wicked person will fall by his own wickedness.
The righteousness of the upright will deliver them,
but the faithless will be captured by their own desires
 
Proverbs 11: 1-6
