Okay here are the answers by the “experts”. Some of you (Jersey) not to mention any names consulted an expert but did not post HIS answers. Some of your answers were better than the experts. i.e “I don’t put giraffes and elephants in the refrigerator.” And for #3 “the one he just ate.” And “I’ll click the heels of my red shoes and fly across.” And something about lions and lionesses not talking after dinner. Oh ‘Chickenfarmer’ you should keep the boys out of the refrigerator. They could spill the milk and make a mess. Needles shouldn’t have to work anymore with sons answering like that, Hollywood is calling and another ‘Steve’ will soon need another job. (Steven Spielberg)

Let me know what you think about these answers.

1. How do you put a giraffe in the refrigerator?
Open the door and put him in and close the door.
2. How do you put an elephant in the refrigerator?
Open theContinue reading “Can you think? Answers”

Retreat July ’06 “The Dance of Healing, the ultra healing spirit comes from within”, by Sara was a great spiritual experience. One of the teachings Sara instructed us through in the Dance of Healing workbook to do was to вЂ?come wondering and questioning’ God especially in areas that we do not see growth. Tops on my list was my struggle with effective communication with others and especially my family. I learned at the retreat the importance of words…how they either poison or give life. I surely want Life to be given to others and myself. As a horticulture teacher and consultant I seem to be able to convey this sort of information effectively but when it comes to interpersonal communication I see myself as a failure no matter how hard I try.

In my frustration I cried out to God for hope that failure could turn to victory. I believe in answer to my prayer that Continue reading “The Rock”

I came across this test the other day. I understand it is designed to test your thinking and reasoning ability. I thought you all might like to give it a try.
1. How do you put a giraffe in the refrigerator?
2. How do you put an elephant in the refrigerator?
3. Since the lion is the king of the animals and they follow his command, which animal didn’t show up at the party that he ordered them all to attend?
4. You are traveling in Africa and you come to a river filled with crocodiles, you have no boat and the bridge is out. How will you cross without being eaten by the crocs?

I was told that this test was given to executives at Fortune 500 companies and to preschool children. And that some executives didn’t get any right answers and some preschoolers got most to the answers.
After you post your responses, I will put up the correct answers and you can see if you are executive or prContinue reading “Can you think?”

What was a ‘special moment’ or ‘highlight’ you would like to share with all from Retreat “06, “Dance of Healing?”

Continue reading “Special Moments”

Sitting here thinking about the retreat (The Dance of Healing, ’06 NC) the one thing that really speaks to my heart is to be still and wait on the Lord. In today society everyone is just so busy. We even have to have portable phones so we can work while we stay in contact with our family and friends. Most of the time we don’t even realize how much stress we’re carrying on our shoulders. We don’t realize that we need to stop, get in a quite place and wait on the Lord. We need to stop talking and start listening. God created man to have a relationship. It’s hard to have a relationship with someone who never listens and always talks. Many times people don’t call on the Lord unless there are troubles in their lives. God wants us to have a relationship with him through the good times and the bad. He wants to have a two way conversation with his children. He wants us to call on him and he wantContinue reading “Be Still and Know!”

I recently came away from a retreat Sara taught with some thoughts about healing and how it relates to вЂ?The Kingdom of God is Like a Farmer’ that I would like to share.

My profession is agriculture (Agriculture as defined by Merriam-Webster: the science, art, or practice of cultivating the soil, producing crops, and raising livestock and in varying degrees the preparation and marketing of the resulting products: farming)or more specifically, horticulture (Horticulture: the science and art of growing fruits, vegetables, flowers, or ornamental plants).

I have been thinking about how many вЂ?farming’ words are found in the scriptures and realized I can’t pick up my Bible without reading such agricultural words as wheat, herbs, trees, plow, vineyard, harvest, seed, fruit, fish…and on and on. These words must be important to God as He communicates with us by usinContinue reading “Horticultural Therapy”

My eyes have been opened to many things this past week in Retreat (The Dance of Healing, NC) and one of the most astounding things that came as a thunderbolt of revelation from the teachings, is that the spirits that try to oppress God’s people and the sins that so easily beset us and specifically “me” (although we’ve tried time after time to overcome them), are really “addictions”. We become addicted to a way of reacting to a situation or how we are affected by a certain circumstance and we are deceived into thinking that that is the “way we are”! Self-deception is very dangerous. I received the understanding that oppressive spirits of rejection, fear & pride are really ADDICTIONS of the soul and ONLY through study of God’s Word, prayer and Holy Spirit, we CAN KICK THE HABIT, if we truly desire that!

My ears have been opened to manyContinue reading “Mine Eyes Have Seen—-“
