He was crucified and buried,
But today the whole world knows
The Resurrection story
Of how Jesus Christ arose.
Some may question it and doubt it,
But they can't explain or say
Why, after countless centuries,
Men still follow Christ today.
And they miss the peace and comfort
That the Easter story brings,
The promise of eternal life
And the hope for better things.
For just to know the Savior died
To redeem and save all men,
And that because He gave His life,
We, too, shall live again,
Makes all this world's uncertainties,
Its burdens, care, and strife
Seem meaningless when they're compared
To God's eternal life.
And Easter, as it comes each year
To awake the sleeping earth,
Assures mankind that Jesus Christ
Has promised us rebirth.

He Is Risen
Posted by Lisa at Tuesday, April 01, 2008Engagement Rings
Posted by Lisa at Tuesday, April 01, 2008I love diamonds and I wish I can buy one for me. The only diamond ring I had which my hubby gave me was stolen a year ago. I really felt bad because that's supposed to be our engagement ring. I've been requesting my hubby to replace it. I've found a site that sells diamond rings and they have a wide range of engagement, wedding and anniversary diamond jewelries. The site's design is really cool and they offer technical support and the site is secure if you purchase their product. This is a good site to buy engagement rings so I have to ask my hubby to buy me one from them and replace my stolen engagement ring that he gave me.

The Clothes Line
Posted by Lisa at Monday, March 31, 2008Do you remember?
The clothes line....a dead give away. Do the kids today even know what a clothes line is?
For all of us who are older, this will bring back the memories.
THE BASIC RULES
1. You had to wash the clothes line before hanging any clothes. Walk the length of each line with a damp cloth around the line.
2. You had to hang the clothes in a certain order and always hang whites with whites and hang them first.
3. You never hung a shirt by the shoulders, always by the tail. What would the neighbors think?
4. Wash day on a Monday...........never hang clothes on the weekend or Sunday for heaven's sake!
5. Hang the sheets and towels on the outside lines so you could hide your 'unmentionables' in the middle.
6. It didn't matter if it was sub zero weather.....clothes would 'freeze dry.'
7. Always gather the clothes pins when taking down dry clothes. Pins left on the line was 'tacky'.
8. If you were efficient, you would line the clothes up so that each item did not need two clothes pins, but shared one of the clothes pins with the next washed item.
9. Clothes off of the line before dinner time, neatly folded in the clothes basket and ready to be ironed.
10. IRONED?????????? Well, that's a whole other subject.
A POEM
A clothes line was a news forecast
To neighbors passing by.
There were no secrets you could keep
When clothes were hung to dry.
It also was a friendly link
For neighbors always knew
If company had stopped on by
To spend a night or two.
For then you'd see the 'fancy sheets'
&n bsp;And towels upon the line;
You'd see the 'company table cloths'
With intricate design.
The line announced a baby's birth
To folks who lived inside
As brand new infant clothes were hung
So carefully with pride.
The ages of the children could
So readily be known
By watching how the sizes changed
You'd know how much they'd grown.
It also told when illness struck,
As extra sheets were hung;
Then nightclothes, and a bathrobe, too,
Haphazardly were strung.
It said, 'Gone on vacation now'
When lines hung limp and bare.
It told, 'We're &n bsp;back!' when full lines sagged
With not an inch to spare.
New folks in town were scorned upon
If wash was dingy gray,
As neighbors carefully raised their brows,
And looked the other way..
But clotheslines now are of the past
For dryers make work less.
Now what goes on inside a home
Is anybody's guess.
I really miss that way of life.
It was a friendly sign
When neighbors knew each other best
By what hung on the line!

Beauty/ Skin Care Site
Posted by Lisa at Sunday, March 30, 2008Though I don't work in an office no more and I'm just a stay-at- home wife, I still want my skin to look vibrant and healthy. I believe most women out there want the same for their skin too. Not only women are concern about the look of their skin, even men too. I know some men go to a spa or saloon to have a facial treatment too. So skin care is for all, young and old, male and female. Most of the beauty saloons and spas use machines for the skin treatment of their customers. If you own a beauty saloon or spa, you can buy Microdermabrasion Machine & Equipments at Classic Spa Collection. They have all the beauty equipments you need for your business like the Electric Chairs, Microdermabrasion Machines, etc. You name it and they have it. Even if you don't have a business and you want to have one for your personal use, you can order from them. All their products come with a warranty and superb customer service. Since you are buying directly from CSC, you are guaranteed to save money on your purchases like Facial Equipments. Eliminating the middleman can save you hundreds (if not thousands) of dollars on a new electric Facial Bed or a high-quality Oxygen & Scrubber Machine. They stock one of the largest inventories in North America, so you can be assured that you have your items as quickly as possible. Almost all items will ship within 24 hours of purchase, so you will receive your Multi Function Spa Equipments or Wet Spa & Vichy Showers and other important purchase quickly.

Grand Canyon Photographer
Posted by Lisa at Saturday, March 29, 2008Take a deep breath and look at this one. He is I think a candidate for the Darwin Awards.
I personally think he is a candidate for the funny farm.
Grand Canyon Photographer
This is a case of a photographer photographing another photographer. The following pictures were taken by Hans van de Vorst from the Netherlands at the Grand Canyon, Arizona. The descriptions are his own. The identity of the photographer in the photos is unknown.
I was simply stunned seeing this guy standing on this solitary rock in the Grand Canyon.
The canyon's depth is 900 meters here. The rock on the right is next to the canyon and safe.
Watching this guy on his thong sandals, with a camera and a tripod I asked myself 3 questions:
1. How did he climb that rock?
2. Why not take that sunset picture from that r ock to the right, which is perfectly safe?
3. How will he get back?
After the sun set behind the canyon's horizon he packed his things (having only one hand available) and prepared himself for the jump.
This took about 2 minutes. At that point he had the full attention of the crowd.
This is the point of no return.
After that, he jumped on his thong sandals...
The canyon's depth is 900 meters (3,000 feet) here.
Now you can see that the adjacent rock is higher so he tried to land lower, which is quite steep and tried to use his one hand to grab the rock.
We've come to the end of this story. Look carefully at the photographer.
He has a camera, a tripod and also a plastic bag, all on his shoulder or in his left hand.
Only his right hand is available to grab the rock and the weight of his stuff is a problem.
He lands low on his flip flops, both his right hand and right foot slip away...
At that moment I take this shot. He pushes his body against the rock.
He waits for a few seconds, throws his stuff on the rock, climbs and walks away. Presumably to a bathroom to change his shorts.
