Thank you for getting me re-addicted to Bachelorette

Several seasons ago I secretly watched the Bachelor for the first time. I would finish my homework near midnight or even closer to one in the morning and turn on an episode promising myself (I will only watch until the first commercial break). I had a blogging friend who had perked my curiosity and somehow I chose the show over much needed sleep.

But the next seasons were a disappointed and I thought I had broken the bad habit--until I read "Home Court Haven.blogspot.com" description of the opening night of Emily Maynard's season. I was hooked before I had even seen the show.

I know longer watch late at night. Tonight, my children all joined me in the voyeuristic viewing, and tomorrow, I will be looking for Home Court Haven's explication of the event. I hope next season will be terrible again so I can once again break this habit. But until then, please keep blogging Home Court.

"Let us review some of these less-conspicuous gifts: the gift of asking; the gift of listening; the gift of hearing and using a still, small voice; the gift of being able to weep; the gift of avoiding contention; the gift of being agreeable; the gift of avoiding vain repetition; the gift of seeking that which is righteous; the gift of not passing judgment; the gift of looking to God for guidance; the gift of being a disciple; the gift of caring for others; the gift of being able to ponder; the gift of offering prayer; the gift of bearing a mighty testimony; and the gift of receiving the Holy Ghost.

"We must remember that to every man is given a gift by the Spirit of God. It is our right and responsibility to accept our gifts and to share them. God’s gifts and powers are available to all of us."
