Sexy wallpapers of Bhagyashree

View some sexy wallpapers of Bhagyashree, bhagyashree looks very nice in saree. Her first movie maine pyar kiya was super hit.

High school sweethearts, pre-school playmates, middle school pals, whatever the case may be, we think stories of couples that met long ago in school are simply the sweetest. And, what better way to celebrate your relationship than to re-live those school days in your wedding ,engagement party, anniversary, etc. Back to school time reminds us of many things - pencils, books, chalkboards, school busses, and more and there are many ways to bring your past into your present with style. Make your event school themed by incorporating some lovely education inspired elements. Try a library card catalog as a table card holder, hang handmade paper heart garland, make paper airplanes serve as sweet place cards, and don't forget the chalk and fun shades like school bus yellow!

Sacrifice and Joy: Lessons from an NFL Fullback

Here's a cool story by Sports Illustrated that a facebook friend brought to my attention about NFL fullback Tony Richardson. If Jesus were to speak highly of one particularly position in football, it would definitely be the Fullback. Before the book and movie The Blind Side, I would have been tempted to say offensive line, but now they're getting more publicity and lots of money. Fullbacks make MUCH less.

The fullback position is all about blocking, and sacrificing yourself for the good of the running back. Of course, in that sacrifice, there is great joy, and that comes out very clearly in this well done article. This is definitely worth the read, and I'll be rooting for this 39 year old to make some NFL roster. The NFL needs more Richardson's for sure.

Introverts are people too

First of all, I'm hoping this post makes at least a little sense, because I'm constructing most of this post in the midst of a "restless leg v. insomnia" battle at 1 am.

Anyhow, I have to admit that I really don't understand extreme introverts. I'm not one. Like my son Connar, I usually need to be around people to get energized. That's not saying that I don't like to be alone at times and fish, or watch a Bucs game. And I don't love being in places where I don't know people just to meet people-that to me is hard work. But for the most part, I'm pretty extroverted.

As a pastor, I'm trying to learn more, and encourage all kinds of folks to be involved in serving the church in all kinds of ways, consistent with their gifting and even personality. I want to meet people in their introversion. That's not to say that I accept the introverted excuse to ignore visitors sitting near them (I've seen this in churches and it drives me nuts when folks play the "introvert" card). Introverts need encouragement in this direction, just like extroverts need to be encouraged to have deeper and more meaningful relationships.

With personalities in mind, I know its probably not best to put an introvert as a greeter. But there is probably much more to ministering properly to introverted folks than this. Looks like I may have found a good resource in this blog, Introverted Church, and also in this book: Introverts in the Church

If you are an introvert, have introverted children, minister to introverted folks, this blog really offers some things I haven't seen anywhere else.
