Yes, I posted the pictures WITH Miko's consent. However, I get a whole tirade of rubbish thrown at me. The latest being that there have been over 230 site downloads. Obviously, people have been downloading her pictures. This is majorly stupid so I have deleted them. I'll enjoy her myself thank you very much.

Meanwhile an entry I lifted from gilliangel (thanks gill). I think it is good challenge to not only myself but to most people.

why do people get defensive so quickly?
as Christians, we are called to love and be accepting and be patient - to live out the fruit of the Spirit.

why do some people always take things the wrong way and think that people are out to get them?

why cant we take a step back and ponder abit, count to 10 or what-have-yous and then open our mouth to speak?

why do we sometimes think that our way is always right and everyone else doesnt understand?

why do we always feel as though we have to make our point even though it's merely a conversation and a friendly chat?

why is it so hard to submit to authority and recognise that someone has been divinely appointed in this time and place?

Lord, I choose love.
I choose patience.
I choose acceptance.
I choose faith in You - knowing that You are working in people's hearts and even though I may not see it now, that You have things under control.
Lord, I choose forgiveness.
I choose understanding.
I choose peace.but most of all...love.I choose love, Lord.
