Winnings from Twitter

Okay, so instead of "Everything is Different" I got the Newsboys sneak peek EP and 2 "GO" stickers. Which was 4th prize, not 3rd. Dunno why.

But that's not where it ends. I won an autographed copy of Group 1 Crew's "Ordinary Dreamers" from @therevolvetour for being the 5th or maybe only person to tell them the names of the band members. And yesterday I won a copy of "Shades Of Blue" from @KarenKingsbury. I never used to win things and now every other week I win. (NOT complaining!!!!)

Seriously Twitter is awesome for winning stuff.

MMM....dip. MMM....music. MMM....snake??!

And now, my famous chip dip recipe!

1 heaping tablespoon of Kraft Light Miracle whip per person
Kraft Zesty Italian Dressing
Green onion, chopped*
1 teaspoon of Cheez Whiz*
1 teaspoon of buttermilk*

*Optional

Directions: Mix the above. Dip. Yum. :)

It's INSANELY good!!! However, if you're taking part in Casting Pounds, you'll probably want to pass. :)

As for the prize win, I won 3rd prize in the past week's InPop Records' "Fun Friday Freebie" on Twitter. So that means I'm getting a copy of Shane and Shane's newest, Everything Is Different. I was actually kinda hoping I'd win the Superchi[k] CD instead, but oh well. :D I never won anything until I got a Twitter account so thanks InPop and thanks Twitter! :D

I should've left for home half an hour ago.

Oh, I got one more thing for you; I was at the grocery store last week and saw a sign that cracked me up;

"Whole Dried Cranberries: Great Healthy Snake For The Whole Family" Now, I don't know about you, but I don't care if the snake was on his last legs! (which they don't have, BTW)

I write lyrics!

Hey all you FOTGHITC fans!!!! (Well, shout out to the 2 of you, anyway. :) ) Read the title of this blog post. My blog here gets imported onto my fan page notes. That's right. I have a Facebook fan page. I'm so special. :wink: But that's not all that makes its way into said notes.

Anyhoo, if you like to read lyrics that (as of yet) have no music composed to them, check out this page! I write all different genres (surprising most of all me) and have been on a writing streak since Aug 24 2008. (yay discipline!!!!)

Zechariah and Mary Seem To Have Switched Reactions

Zechariah had been a priest for decades. He'd been studying for it since he was a young man. Basically, he'd made a paying career out of following God. (Sweet.) You'd think a guy like that would be pretty close to God, right? You know, the PUSH (pray until something happens) type who wouldn't let anybody mess around with his faith. Rock-solid. Like this (picture my two index fingers hooked around eachother.) The kind of guy who sees a miracle, is in awe and yet still manages to say, "Doesn't surprise me." Amazing, yes. Ridiculous, no. Get the picture?

Yet when the angel tells him that he and his wife will have a son, Zechariah doesn't fall down on his knees and say, "I believe it! Praise God!!!" He doesn't rush out of the temple to the marketplace for a rattle and booties. He doesn't even remember the story of Abraham and Sarah. He says, "How can this be? My wife is old and infertile. I am old. Impossible." This man who'd made it his life's work to know God doesn't believe the angel's message. And for that he goes temporarily mute.

Mary was a betrothed teenage virgin. She'd been raised to be a good Jewish girl, her destiny to be a wife and mother. Being young and inexperienced in life, with a faith taught from birth, you'd expect she was just beginning to seek a personal relationship with God that wasn't built solely upon other's shoulders. She heard the stories of God's miracles in the past as Zachariah had, but I doubt she was the equivalent of a Jewish nun.

Still, she also receives a visit from an angel who says that she's going to conceive and bear a child. She asks also how it would be since she is a virgin. Now the angel cuts Mary some slack because after all, she is a young girl, not an old priest. However, once the angel assures Mary that she will conceive divinely, that's enough for her. She just accepts it like that. Could you? Seriously, one day you're just going through life getting ready to be married, and all of a sudden, "It's gonna be a boy!" She believed it the minute she understood how it would happen. Now how's that for faith? Pretty awesome that it can come from the unlikeliest person.
