Hotel Replaces Bible With '50 Shades of Grey' - Yahoo! News

 

"In this secular age it seems distinctly odd that anyone would expect to find a religious book in a hotel bedroom."
So what are guests who are not the book's "target audience" supposed to read on a visit to the Damson Dene Hotel? Denby isn't banishing the Bible altogether. Instead, he plans to keep a few copies behind the reception desk in case someone asks.

"Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil; Who substitute darkness for light and light for darkness; Who substitute bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter!" Isaiah 5:20

I wish that I could say that I am shocked by this, but in reality - he is correct.  This is a secular age, a "post-Christian" society.  How sad!  We are in an age where right is wrong and wrong is right - everything is upside down.

We must decide what will be our standard.  How will we chart our path through a world that is twisting and turning?  How will we decide what is right and wrong?  One thing is very clear: we cannot depend on culture or mainstream to make those choices for us.  We cannot even rely upon our pastor, parents or friends.  We must make and individual choice.

You cannot allow your morals and values to be based on a sliding scale, they must be firmly rooted in something unchangeable.  I know where mine are rooted.  Do you?

"If it is disagreeable in your sight to serve the LORD, choose for yourselves today whom you will serve: whether the gods which your fathers served which were beyond the River, or the gods of the Amorites in whose land you are living; but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD."  Joshua 24:15

Perfectly Posh Review and Giveaway!

Recently, my friend Jackie started a new business venture with Perfectly Posh.


Posh is a pampering line made from some of the best ingredients on earth. From shea and cocoa butters, to indulgent and nourishing oils.  They are:

• Paraben-free and paraffin-free
• SLS-free
• Gluten-free
• Soy-free
• Using essential oil and fine pthalate-free fragrances
• Natural: Full of butters, oils, and other nourishing ingredients
• Preserved with gentle, effective vitamin E

Perfectly Posh uses tocopherol (vitamin E) as it's primary preservative, and they fragrance with high-quality perfumes and essential oils.


She gave me a tube of The Healer, since I was having some trouble with very dry skin.

I wish that I had taken some pictures, but I didn't (I'm sorry!).  I'll try to paint a picture for you!  My heels were really dry.  They cracked and were so painful that I hated to even try to do a "pedicure" at home.  Think this:

I learned that the deep cracks are called "fissures" - that is disgusting!  I had 3 or 4 on each heel.

I decided to try The Healer on my heels.  When I told Jackie this, she was disturbed surprised.  She uses it as a facial moisturizer!

I love the consistency of The Healer. It is firm in the stick, but almost instantly melts with your body temperature.  It absorbs quickly and doesn't make your skin feel greasy at all.  And it smells amazing.  Perhaps too good.  I have had to hunt it down almost every night!  My kids love it too!

It has worked wonders on my heels.  You can still see the lines where the "fissures" once were, but they are closed!  My heels no longer hurt and I've been much better about using a pumice stone and doing my at-home pedicures (much to my husband's delight - he can't stand "nasty feet"!)

Speaking of my husband - I got the Chuck bar in "Gender Bender" for him for Father's Day.  And, I confess, I've been using it too!  It does a great job of detoxifying the skin without drying it out.  It also is very long-lasting (which makes it a great value!)

I can't wait to try more of Perfectly Posh's products - I've already got a wish list going!  I'm excited that Jackie has agreed to give one of my lucky readers their very own "The Healer" to use!

Start-Up Solavei Takes Cellphone Marketing to Whole New (Multi-) Level - Ina Fried - Mobile - AllThingsD

UPDATE:
Registration is OPEN to everyone!  Check it out now!

The company’s product is a simple one. Customers pay a $49 sign-up fee, and $49 per month for unlimited talk, text and data on T-Mobile’s nationwide network. Customers can either bring their own unlocked GSM cellphone or pay the full unsubsidized price of one of the three models being sold by Solavei. The models, from HTC and ZTE, range from $159 to $500.

Here’s where things get interesting. Solavei relies on its customers to sign up other customers. For every three customers they bring in, they get paid $20. They also stand to benefit when the people they sign up sign up others, and they can even make some from sales beyond that. Solavei also promises other one-time bonuses for signing up new customers within one’s first 60 days as a member.

Solavei also says there is an option to be a “member” without getting service, for $149 a year.

Amazing New REVOLUTION: Solavei

UPDATE:
Registration is OPEN to everyone!  Check it out now!


My friend Laura shared this with me today:

I am a founding member of a brand new company that will benefit millions of people by saving them money on a service they use everyday. It will revolutionize commerce as we know it, and help thousands of people in a myriad of ways, especially financially.

We won't be launching until September 21, 2012. Most of you KNOW the benefit of learning about a company before it launches. We are in pre-launch and therefore need an NDA (non-disclosure agreement) before I can share details with you. If you would like for me to send you an email with an NDA link, and more information about this amazing new REVOLUTION, simply message me with your email address.

I am so excited to share this very exciting NEW and revolutionary idea with you.

Have you heard the buzz going around about this company in the pre-launch phase?   I feel honored that I have the opportunity to share with my friends and family!

It is definitely an advantage to learn about opportunities before the rest of the world!  Solavei will be a blessing and benefit to millions of people. Solavei will help people by dramatically lower one of the monthly bills you are paying right now and it is NOT being done by anyone else (NO it's not energy :)

96% of the US Population qualifies to take advantage of this.  E-commerce and technology together in a company that consumers will consider a blessing each time they pay their monthly bill.  Since they are in the prelaunch phase, I am able to invite you to simply learn more about it after you click through a non disclosure agreement.  I love it because it will help so many families reduce their monthly bills.  I also love it because there's a pretty phenomenal incentive for those that are interested in additional streams of income off something you're already paying for.  If  you're interested in learning more, let me know, and I will email you information to learn about it!


I am so impressed - I know you will be too!  This could be a great answer to prayer for William and I!

Please let me know your info so I can share this with you - you have nothing to lose and perhaps lots to gain!

Registration is OPEN to everyone!  Check it out now!

Don't knock it 'til you try it - a review of Fifty Shades of Grey

Maybe you've read some "holier than thou" articles on why a Christian shouldn't read the book "Fifty Shades of Grey" and you've thought "yeah - you don't know what you're missing!"  Well, read on my friends!

Source: google.ca via Kristina on Pinterest

It's true - they don't know what they are missing!  I read the first 11 chapters last night.

Let me back up a little bit though, before I tell you what I think of the book.
