There are dreamers and there are realists in this world.

You’d think the dreamers would find the dreamers and the realists would find the realists but more often than not, the opposite is true.

See, the dreamers need the realists to keep the dreamers from soaring too close to the sun. And the realists? Well without the dreamers, they might not ever get off the ground.

Spinach artichoke dip anyone?

I always have cravings for ice cream on cold rainy days. Pistachio almond ice cream from 31 Baskin Robbins usually does the trick. <3

Dating, Relating, and Fornicating

flyerthanangels:

A great article on the history of dating by Mark Driscoll. Great insight on how the practice of dating started in America, the roots of the current situation that we are in - in regards to sexuality and promiscuity, as well as his advice on what to do to curb it.

Heartbreaking Tearjerker of the Day: Gordon Yeager, 94, and his wife Norma, 90, lived together for 72 years. Last week, after a tragic car accident, they died together, one hour apart, holding hands.

The couple got married in 1939, the day Norma graduated from high school. They lived their whole lives in the small town of State Center, Iowa, where they raised four children.

“Staying together for 72 years is good, I’d say that’s exceptional,” daughter Donna Sheets said. “They always did everything together. They weren’t apart. They just weren’t.”

True to their nature, the Yeagers were together last Wednesday at the intersection of Highway 30 and Jessup Avenue outside Marshalltown, where their car struck another car head on. They were brought into the ICU of Marshalltown’s hospital together, holding hands.

Gordon passed away shortly thereafter.

“It was really strange, they were holding hands, and dad stopped breathing but I couldn’t figure out what was going on because the heart monitor was still going,” son Dennis Yeager told KCCI. “But we were like, he isn’t breathing. How does he still have a heart beat? The nurse checked and said that’s because they were holding hands and it’s going through them. Her heart was beating through him and picking it up.” Norma passed away an hour later.

“Neither one of them would’ve wanted to be without each other,” said Sheets. Added Yeager: “They just loved being together.”

The Perfect Church
I think that I shall never see
A Church that’s all it ought to be

A Church that has no empty pews
Whose Preacher never has the blues

A Church whose Deacons always Deke
And none is proud but all are meek

Where gossips never peddle lies
Or make complaint or criticize

Where all are always sweet and kind
And all to each others fault are blind

Such Perfect Churches there may be
But none of them are known to me

But still we’ll work and pray and plan
To make our Church the best we can

If you could find a Perfect Church without one fault or smear
For goodness sake don’t join that Church you’ll spoil the atmosphere

If you should find a Perfect Church don’t you ever dare
To tread upon such holy ground you might be a misfit there

But since no Perfect Church exists made of imperfect man
Then let’s cease looking for that Church and love the one we’re in

Of course its not a Perfect Church thats simple to discern
But you and I and all of us could cause the tide to turn.
