Shirley Temple Passed Away

I am sharing this little blue glass that has a picture of Shirley Temple. Though I am not a fan of Shirley Temple, I watched some of her movies that are cute and at time funny enough to make me laugh. I wished to have the ability to make someone laugh even for just a moment and she did it well. She is 85, I believe.

She was a beloved by so many for her cuteness and right timing to crack up someone watching the old tube TV. She passed away leaving a legacy of making people laugh and enjoying life with laughter. May she rest in peace...

But many will be crying for the loss, a wonderful soul who made us laugh even at a young age. There was an article in Yahoo about Shirley Temple's passing, showcasing the house where she was born, a simple house just like ours.  She was born in Santa Monica California on April 23, 1928 with a father who worked at the local bank and her mom, a homemaker just like me. Together they had two sons but mom was so convinced that if she just had a daughter she could make her a movie star and so it happen as she believed.  What an inspiring thought that really came true as she believed. Armed with determination, which I admired, somewhat paved the path for Shirley Temple playing songs and reading books during her pregnancy to becoming a STAR.  How many people are able to do that - predict a child's destiny? She must have visualized it every day.

A very good example of what mothers can do for their children. She nurtured her from womb with love and care. They even have to move a few times to protect her. Her fame waned when she grew up and switched focus to doing service in politics such as a diplomat. What a real movie story to watch. She will surely be missed.

The Courage

We need the love and the courage to say the following like John :

It is right, holy, and beautiful to have sexual relations in the context of the marriage covenant.

It is right to be a virgin or celibate until marriage.

It is right to respect, cherish, and defend life from the moment of conception until natural death.

It is right to be and look pure, free and holy.

It is right to be unpopular with those who aren't living for Jesus.

It is right to give God thanks and praise.

It is not right to have sexual relations outside of marriage.

It is not right to abort babies.

It is not right to have homosexual relations.

It is not right to use artificial means of contraception.

What Would You Do?

A friend shared about her sticky situation. One day, her neighbor who lives next door came knocking on her door. This neighbor is clearly someone who lives in the same block, someone you see in plain sight once in a while, yet hardly exchange hellos. She doesn't even know her name since she hardly had contact with this neighbor. The neighbor came over to ask a favor. Being a modest person, my friend entertains the neighbor with a smile on her face not knowing what is coming...

After all the pleasantries -

Ms. Rosie, would you be kind enough to share me your wifi password so I may be able to have internet access? We do not have internet access at home and I know you have. Please???

Rosie, who tried to maintain her composure, said in a diplomatic way to avoid hurting a neighbor's feelings, to steer clear of conflict took a while to respond " Mmm, I really don't know the password. My kids did the password thing and they are not home."

The neighbor, with a disappointed face replied "I see. I better leave my cell phone number so your kids can text me when they get home. Is that okay with you, Miss Rosie?"

I almost panicked, not knowing what to do but said "Okay.", my friend blankly said.

After the neighbor left, Rosie came to her senses and realized that her trick did not work. For trying to be modest, she put herself in this awkward situation. She tried to be subtle, indirect refusal, yet the neighbor did not get it.

Let me ask you. If someone asks for your WiFi password what would you do?

BILL GATES SPEECH

To anyone with kids, of any age, or anyone who has ever been a kid, here’s some advice Bill Gates dished out at a high school speech about 11 things they did not learn in school. He talks about how "feel-good" politically correct teachings created a full generation of kids with no concept of reality and how this concept set them up for failure in the real world.

Rule 1: Life is not fair – get used to it.

Rule 2: The world won’t care about your self-esteem. The world will expect you to accomplish something BEFORE you feel good about yourself.

Rule 3: You will NOT make 40 thousand dollars a year right out of high school. You won’t be a vice-president with a car phone, until you earn both.

Rule 4: If you think your teacher is tough, wait until you get a boss. He doesn’t have tenure.

Rule 5: Flipping burgers is not beneath your dignity. Your grandparents had a different word for burger flipping – they called it opportunity.

Rule 6: If you mess up, it’s not your parents’ fault, so don’t whine about your mistakes, learn from them.

Rule 7: Before you were born, your parents weren’t as boring as they are now. They got that way from paying your bills, cleaning your clothes and listening to you talk about how cool you are. So, before you save the rain forest from the parasites of your parents’ generation, try delousing the closet in your own room.

Rule 8: Your school may have done away with winners and losers but life has not. In some schools they have abolished failing grades and they’ll give you as many times as you want to get the right answer.

Rule 9: Life is not divided into semesters. You don’t get summers off & very few employers are interested in helping you find yourself. Do that on your own time.

Rule 10: Television is NOT real life (nor are video games . In real life people actually have to leave the coffee shop and go to jobs.

Rule 11: Be nice to nerds. Chances are you’ll end up working for one.
