Money or Not?

Why are some people in our country poor and some rich, and some in the middle? What makes the biggest difference?  Attitude?  Background?  Family?  Education?  IQ?  Ambition?  Luck?  Values?

Of course there's not an easy answer, but I'd like to hear your ideas/opinions on it. K?  lol....

A Gift For Us

This season has been less hectic than most I've had. A little shopping, a lot of cooking, but not too much, a little music, and a lot of rest, and time to reflect on it all. A good Christmas season.

I hope each and every one of you has plenty to be thankful for, and a merry heart.

  I was looking at the weather in Jerusalem last night, and saw it was 45 and rainy, the same as it was where I live in Tennessee. It was Christmas morning there, and I thought about Mary and Joseph, and what things were like then. It made it so real, like they were a couple I know, like Mary would sit at my kitchen table and have coffee with me.

  What a Gift. What Love God has for us. A Gift of Salvation, of Eternal Life and Love.  Jesus.  A Savior Indeed.      

MERRY CHRISTMAS

  MERRY MERRY CHRISTMAS TO YOU ALL !

Catching Up

I guess it took getting a cold to make me sit down long enough to blog, or pretty much be online at all. I hope everyone's having a great holiday season. I'm doing great, with lots to be thankful for, but still a little sad over not being with my kids this time of year. I'm going to go catch up on some of your blogs, and will see you tomorrow.   Oh, and Bonnie, it's just a clip art pic...but I see it as representing part of me....lol.   And Jenny, SO good to see you about...will talk later.   Love to everyone.     jan

Comments not showing up

Now comments are not showing up on my posts. I can see comments on my 'profile' page, and my windows live home page, but they're not at the end of my blogs. Anybody know why? I checked my privacy settings. Anyone having any trouble leaving comments?

Hey, I just made a Group

I was fooling around with my site, and saw the group stuff on the home page. I didn't see anywhere to 'browse' groups to see if I wanted to join one, so I tried making my own. It took 3 clicks...lol.

So, please join my group. Nope don't know what it's about...probably a lot of ADHD stuff though, not sure, we'll figure that out.  Jan      http://sidetracked.groups.live.com/

HOPE THIS HELPS

Here's a link to some info on privacy:   http://windowslivewire.spaces.live.com/Blog/cns!2F7EB29B42641D59!27927.entry

 

The way I did mine, was going to the option menu on the upper right side of my home page-not my Space page, but the Windows Live home page.  Choose 'more options'. Choose 'notifications'. Choose 'what's new with you'.

 

There are MORE privacy options than before, which is good because they have INVADED more of our privacy than before. But at least there is a way to stop all this info....last names, every comment we make...etc....from being visible. I set mine to allow what it showed before...updated blogs, lists, site....but not comments. My biggest beef is that most of us didn't know our stuff was going to be plastered on our home pages before they did it. We should have had more-or some- warning so we could set our own privacy levels.  jan
