The Lord Is My Strength

 
 
"The LORD is my strength and my defense; he has become my salvation. He is my God, and I will praise him, my father's God, and I will exalt him.

Beauty Is ...

 
Beauty Is ...
 
 


He has made everything beautiful in its time.
He has also set eternity in the human heart;yet no one can fathom what God has done from beginning to end.I know that there is nothing better for them than to rejoice and to do good in one's lifetime; moreover, that every man who eats and drinks sees good in all his labor-- it is the gift of God.   I know that everything God does will remain forever; there is nothing to add to it and there is nothing to take from it, for God has so worked that men should fear Him.…
Eccl. 3:11-14

A Unique Place In T-Town Alabama


There is a must-see store in the center of the SEC Football Capital.
 
Tuscaloosa, Alabama. 



It doesn't have to be during football season to see a crowd in and out of this packed but nicely arranged gift store. I say gift store because I haven't been able to figure out the exact type store it should be called. It has antiques but also nicely hand made unique home décor.  
 
 


 
Every young lady at the university can direct you to it because it also stocks clothes that are unlike other stores. 


 
It's called
The Gypsy Spur
 
 
 
Be prepared to stay awhile when your wife or girlfriend walks in.

3-D People Printing is...

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/video/news/video-1046240/Mini-me-Asdas-3D-printing-turns-people-realistic-figurines.html
 
Are we really ready for 3-D printing.
 
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/video/news/video-1046240/Mini-me-Asdas-3D-printing-turns-people-realistic-figurines.htmlFirst of all what is 3-D printing? Is it art or is it science?

3-D printing is not new but what is happening with the computer and 3-D printing is changing the world much faster than anyone could imagine. With the more intelligent robots become the closer this world comes to the science fiction movie that features computers building armies and destroying humans to save the planet. Arnold Schwarzenegger in the movie The Terminator was one of the first major movies to develop a strong world take over plot with robots. In the movie SKYNET  is the most advance computer ever created. Once it is uploaded to connect all other computers it wants to survive to complete the mission it is programmed to do. That mission is to save earth even if it has to kill every human.

I love technology and the good that comes form great minds, however there is a but....
That but is what happens when technology advances to that point where the invention out thinks the inventor?


 
 
There are more questions than answers.

Common Table Manners Mistakes

Click through for the most often mistakes made at the table.
However the one that I don't see is one that causes controversy every time I mention it.
 
Is it just me or is BLOWING YOUR NOSE
 
I mean really blowing your nose not rude and unacceptable?
 
Most books say it's okay but I find the sound of someone honking and snorting while I'm taking a mouth full of my most tasteful and expensive meal...well just not right.
 
Just saying...
 
Leave a comment if you care but don't blow.
