Have you seen this movie? I highly recommend it. Not only is it funny, it has some good little quotes throughout. One part of the movie, "God" was talking to Evan's wife explaining Evan's "crazy" behavior. He said, "If someone prays for patience, you think God gives them patience? Or does he give them the opportunity to be patient? If they pray for courage, does God give them courage, or does he give them the opportunities to be courageous? If someone prayed for their family to be closer (which Evan did) you think God zaps them with warm, fuzzy feelings? Or does he give them opportunities to love each other?"
This was very interesting to me...it got me thinking of all the times I have prayed for courage, or strength, or patience..oh yes...lots of patience. Then I think about what happened after I prayed for such things. Most of the time, I found myself in situations in which I have absolutely NEEDED courage, or strength, or patience. Hmmm...and some how, some way, I found it. The beautiful thing about God is that he doesn't just go around giving out handouts, but instead he gives us the greatest gift of all....the ability to find such things within ourselves. Having faith in God, gives us the ability to have faith in ourselves, because God...has faith in us. I like that.

Hi you contacted me on my design blog and this is the only way I found to contact you. You asked me about using my kits for blog use. I just have a couple of questions. Do you buy the kit and give them a flattened version of the headers, etc.?? I am just curious if both you and the customer are given the full kit for you both to use, because that would not seem quite right. So how does that all work? I would be fine if you bought the kit, and gave a flattened version to your customer. Anyways, just let me know on that! You can email me at tbkress1@msn.com Thanks!
