You Are 64% Creative

You are beyond creative. You are a true artist - even if it's not in the conventional sense of the word.
You love creating for its own sake, and you find yourself quite inspired at times.

[Uncle Ike]

How come, when I take the test, no matter which answer I click, the dot always magically appears in “Strongly Disagree”????

[Kathy in Alaska]

Permission Granted!

Well, the test says I'm only '75 percent' creative.

But, I've created a lot of jewelry that sold like hotcakes, and I've built lots of weird machinery to get things done around my domains.

I suppose that if I could only create more time to create... maybe I could really be 100 percent creative. Maybe after I retire! LOL

[LUV W]

I Am Totally NOT Creative! OK? :)

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, Mac...*HUGS*...feeling better today? A little less hectic?

I had a zoo day....lots of new hires, lots still not in the system, need them in so I can input timesheets as their payday is this Friday. Edits coming along well, might not be too much homework.

YOU ARE THE QUINTESSANCE OF CREATIVITY!

Ad Astra Per Aspera!

You specialize in turning adversity into opportunity.

You stride into the midst of Chaos, work your Art, and leave Order and Serenity in your wake.

Faced with a daunting predicament, you improvise, adapt, and overcome.

When confronted with a setback, you regroup, adjust, and win through to Victory!

[ConorMacNessa]

A fairly uneventful day. Our Project Lead goes on vacation tomorrow for two weeks - things could get interesting - the lady he's assigned as team lead will raise some hackles. :) Break out the popcorn!

[Old Sarge]

Having a good time with The Bride and the new family.

The stepdaughters made my day, when they got back from upstate visiting relations. They got me a Father’s Day card. It was truly a touching moment.

Weatherguys are calling for a major rain system coming up from Miami, rain for the rest of the week. Might blow the beach plans again.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, monte...((HUGS))...thanks for playing.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, Uncle Ike.....I don’t know. Maybe your computer doesn’t want to play?

[ConorMacNessa]

LOL! Good evening, Luv!

*HUGS*

I think you're telling stories! :)

Good evening, Conor! According to their silly questions.... LOL!

But thank you for your kind words! :)

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, Ron....anyone that makes jewelry has to be creative. Lots of things running around in your head. Good for you.

Are you on high enough ground for flooding?

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, Marine...((HUGS))...66%...not too bad.

I can’t get to the test at work. I’ll try it out when I get home.

[Kathy in Alaska]

LOL! No creativity...that would be me, too.

Still triple digits?

Good evening, Luv...((HUGS))

[Kathy in Alaska]

I am off for home with a stop for lettuce. Back shortly.

[BIGLOOK]

Aloha again Night Owl! ((HUGS))

Well the stock market didn't tumble and my son is working his ......tail off so I guess that's good news. We have to go shopping soon for a pair of handcuffs and a birthday present, so every little bit helps.

[FortWorthPatriot]

You are not alone - I’m having the same problem...

[LUV W]

Good evening, Kathy! (((hugs)))

No triple digits today, though it got close. Supposed to get
to “only” 90 degrees tomorrow. It sounds hot, but after 100+,
it’s not awful. :)

How are you coping with Alaskan summer?

TATTOO
(Click)

Must retire – the 0500 0430 Reveille approaches relentlessly. Our Taskmasters vex us with an ever-increasing burden of work. They have sequestered us in a remote chamber known only as “The Land of the Lost”, which bears a banner over the lintel stating:

“ABANDON ALL HOPE, YE WHO ENTER HERE!”

They stand and mutely watch over us as we toil hour upon hour without respite.

The Bugler, their minion, his grim visage replete with an evil sneer, already mounts the parapet.

If I can escape their iron grip, I’ll chat with you all on the morrow. I can say no more – they approach!

Do poor Tom some charity, whom the foul fiend vexes!

---

Good night, God bless you, and God bless the United States of America!

Godspeed our Troops around the Globe – especially those in harm’s way – by virtue of their service and sacrifice we continue to live in Freedom!

A Good Neighbor
June 20, 2012

In June 2011, when disastrous flood- waters chased residents of Minot, North Dakota, from their homes, the people of that community did what seemed to come naturally to them—they helped others who were in need. People from more than an hour away, without being asked, showed up to help. Some loaned their campers to those who lost their homes and others allowed their garages to be used for temporary storage. The people of North Dakota were showing what it means to be good neighbors.

As followers of Christ, being good neighbors—showing love to others—should come naturally to us as well (Matt. 22:39; John 13:35; 1 John 4:7-11). Even though we may not have the opportunity to respond in a dramatic way to a natural disaster, we can all look for ways to love those around us. To be good neighbors, we can show others mercy (Luke 10:29-37), treat others fairly (Lev. 19:13-18; James 2:1-8), speak to others truthfully (Eph. 4:25), and forgive others completely (Eph. 4:32; Col. 3:13).

Christians can be the best neighbors around because our love for others flows out of the life of the ultimate neighbor—Jesus Christ—who loved and sacrificed His life for us.

Oh, to be like Him, tender and kind,
Gentle in spirit, lowly in mind;
More like to Jesus, day after day,
Filled with His Spirit now and alway. —Ellsworth

Our love for Christ is only as real as our love for our neighbor.

Read: Luke 10:29-37

Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another. —1 John 4:11

Bible in a Year:
Psalms 79-81

"...the lady he's assigned as team lead will raise some hackles."

Oh, oh....lessons in patience and "can't we all get along?". 2 weeks, huh? Could be a long time.

[Kathy in Alaska]

God Bless you good, Mac. Good night and rest well. Thanks for helping honor our troops, past and present. Thank you for your service to our country.
