Enjoy the Empty Egg.

Happy Easter!

EMPTY EGG

Jeremy was born with a twisted body and a slow mind. At the age of 12
he was still in second grade, seemingly unable to learn. His teacher,
Doris Miller, often became exasperated with him. He would squirm in his
seat, drool, and make grunting noises. At other times, he spoke clearly and
distinctly, as if a spot of light had penetrated the darkness of his brain.
Most of the time, however, Jeremy just irritated his teacher.

One day she called his parents and asked them to come in for a
consultation. As the Forresters entered the empty classroom, Doris said
to them, "Jeremy really belongs in a special school. It isn't fair to him to be
with younger children who don't have learning problems. Why, there is a
five year gap between his age and that of the other students."

Mrs. Forrester cried softly into a tissue, while her husband spoke. "Miss
Miller," he said, "there is no school of that kind nearby. It would be a
terrible shock for Jeremy if we had to take him out of this school. We
know he really likes it here."
Doris sat for a long time after they had left, staring at the snow outside
the window. Its coldness seemed to seep into her soul. She wanted
to sympathize with the Forresters. After all, their only child had a
terminal illness. But it wasn't fair to keep him in her class. She had 18
other youngsters to teach, and Jeremy was a distraction.
Furthermore, he would never learn to read and write. Why waste any
more time trying?

As she pondered the situation, guilt washed over her. Here I am
complaining when my problems are nothing compared to that poor
family, she thought. Lord, please help me to be more patient with
Jeremy. From that day on, she tried hard to ignore Jeremy's noises
and his blank stares. Then one day, he limped to her desk, dragging
his bad leg behind him.

"I love you, Miss Miller," he exclaimed, loud enough for the whole class
to hear. The other students snickered, and Doris' face turned red.

She stammered, "Wh-why that's very nice, Jeremy. N-now please,
take your seat."

Spring came, and the children talked excitedly about the coming of
Easter. Doris told them the story of Jesus, and then to emphasize
the idea of new life springing forth, she gave each of the children a
large plastic egg. "Now," she said to them, "I want you to take this
home and bring it back tomorrow with something inside that shows
new life. Do you understand?"

"Yes, Miss Miller," the children responded enthusiastically--all except
for Jeremy. He listened intently; his eyes never left her face. He did
not even make his usual noises. Had he understood what she said
about Jesus' death and resurrection? Did he understand the
assignment? Perhaps she should call his parents and explain the
project to them.

That evening, Doris' kitchen sink stopped up. She called the landlord
and waited an hour for him to come by and unclog it. After that, she
still had to shop for groceries, iron a blouse, and prepare a
vocabulary test for the next day. She completely forgot about
phoning Jeremy's parents.

The next morning, 19 children came to school, laughing and talking as
they placed their eggs in the large wicker basket on Miss Miller's
desk. After they completed their math lesson, it was time to open the
eggs. In the first egg, Doris found a flower. "Oh yes, a flower is certainly
a sign of new life," she said. "When plants peek through the ground, we
know that spring is here." A small girl in the first row waved her arm.
"That's my egg, Miss Miller," she called out. The next egg contained a
plastic butterfly, which looked very real. Doris held it up. "We all know
that a caterpillar changes and grows into a beautiful butterfly. Yes,
that's new life, too."
Little Judy smiled proudly and said, "Miss Miller, that one is mine."
Next, Doris found a rock with moss on it. She explained that moss,
too, showed life. Billy spoke up from the back of the classroom,
"My daddy helped me," he beamed.

Then Doris opened the fourth egg. She gasped. The egg was
empty. Surely it must be Jeremy's she thought, and of course, he
did not understand her instructions. If only she had not forgotten
to phone his parents.

Because she did not want to embarrass him, she quietly set the egg
aside and reached for another. Suddenly, Jeremy spoke up.
"Miss Miller, aren't you going to talk about my egg?"
Flustered, Doris replied, "But Jeremy, your egg is empty." He
looked into her eyes and said softly, "Yes, but Jesus' tomb was
empty, too."

Time stopped. When she could speak again, Doris asked him,
"Do you know why the tomb was empty?"
"Oh, yes," Jeremy said, "Jesus was killed and put in there. Then
His Father raised Him up."

The recess bell rang. While the children excitedly ran out to the school
yard, Doris cried. The cold inside her melted completely away.

Three months later, Jeremy died. Those who paid their respects at the
mortuary were surprised to see 19 eggs on top of his casket, all of
them empty.

If this blesses you, pass it on. Happy Easter

It's That Time of Year Again..

2007-01-07T17:18:00.000-08:00

It's that time of year again and I thought I'd write about the top New Year's Resolutions.
I'm excited about this year and can't wait to achieve my goals and I know you're probably scratching your head about what your resolution should be or maybe you already know. Perhaps my list of top resolutions will help...Top New Years Resolutions

A new year always brings with it new resolutions of people hopeful to change the old. Popular changes that many people would like to make are listed below, in no particular order.

1. Lose Weight – With more than fifty percent American adults and countless others in other countries being overweight, it’sno wonder that this resolution appears a lot. Unfortunately there are so many plans out there for losing weight and eating right, that it’s difficult to know what works and what doesn’t and which plan is best for which individual. Keys to successful weight loss focus on good eating habits, a good exercise program and sticking to targeted goals to reach.

2. Pay Off Debt – A main resolution of many is to pay off credit cards and minor installments loans; i.e. like auto loans, not mortgages. Often a tough job, lack of paying off debt often stems form economic issues, unexpected bills, decreased income, health-related bills and more mounting all year long. Do you best and check into refinancing at lower rates is often advised.

3. Stop Bad Habits – Popular resolutions often involve stopping bad habits like smoking, drinking, gambling, drug abuse, cheating on a mate and being a workaholic. To help overcome these, there are 12-step programs out there for nearly any issuetoday.

4. Continue Education – Another popular resolution is to return to school to finish high school accreditation, to complete college programs and complete other educational training. And with online technology so advanced today, many are able to jump back into programs with online help round the clock and roundthe world.

5. Travel – Hitting the road, the sea or the air is another top resolution of many. Travel sites offering helpful online planning,booking and savings grow in popularity as does this resolutionmade by many.

6. Workout – Both genders make resolutions to get fit in the new years ahead. Whether it’s to lift weights or run track orbike or swim, people as a whole seek better fitness. And trying to work in a fitness plan is not always easy with families on the go today. So trying to squeeze in smaller amount of time blocks might help many. For example, workout for 15 minutes a couple of times each day instead of looking for blocks of anhour where you will be free.

There are more popular New Year’s resolutions. Make some of your own and see what you are looking forward to, then make plans to reach your goals. Happy New Year!
Now the problem is actually achieving your resolutions, not setting them. Anyone can set a new years resolution, right?

Exactly.

So make sure you actually set yourself up for success. Writeit down and keep it in front of you. Tell others about it andthen work on it daily.

SEO; Search Engine Optimizing

2006-08-15T20:46:00.000-07:00

I've got some pretty exciting news for you today.

Although they might not know it yet, what's opening today
is going to have a huge effect on the search engines
and everybody who uses them.

What am I talking about?

It's a new project that I've become involved in that
goes by the rather innocuous name, the SEO Giveaway.

In reality, the impact of it could be amazing.

You see, Leon Klepfish has managed to talk some of the
biggest names in search engine optimization into giving
up their most secret guides, special reports, and software.

And all of this is available inside the SEO Giveaway
member's area.

But, nobody is allowed in unless they agree to one condition.

The condition is simple, but something that will eliminate
90% of the possible participants:

You have to use what you learn. Now.

If you aren't willing to read and use what you get inside,
then you're not allowed in.

That's the rule. Take it or leave it.

Speaking of FLY (Fully Loving Yourself)

2006-02-12T15:30:00.000-08:00

As you might, or might not know, I am a divorced father of two young girls. They live with me, since I have residental custody. As every single parent knows, it is an ongoing challenge to keep the house clean. Even with both parents and/or without children, it could be quite the chore.

Well, I came across a few "sytems" to keep me focused. And, I would like to share them with you now.

Formost, I firmly praise in the support I receive from Jesus. {My best friend.} God has given me, the strength to deal with those hard situations in life. Yes, I have many challenges. But, it is through the Lord's Gifts to me that I succeed.

One of those gifts of the Lord, is my support network; close family and friends.
I praise God that both my parents are able to assist me VERY often.
I thank them, dearly! :->

Networking is a valuable resourse. I become activly involved with a Bible study group, Sunday School teaching, and my daughters' "personal development instuctors"; (teachers and support).
I know where and how to obtain more resources, from the community if needed. I know how to contact my area Ministries, if need be.

The last "tools" that I use to stay focused are online motivational systems. The two that I get the most value out of are:

1) Simpleology.com; the simple science of getting what you want.

AND

2) The Flylady ;( http://flylady.net - A great house cleaning system. )

Yes, men can and should clean houses also. And, it IS OK to take advice from a woman.
Of course, my house is not clean (all the way) yet. But, it is a lot better than it used to be. And, it will only get better.

Well, thank you for reading all of this. I hope that it will give you some helpful insight as to what you can do to FOCUS ON YOUR LIFE. Remove the clutter.

Yours In The Service Of Jesus Christ;
George McMillin

A Castle In Kansas?

2006-01-20T12:39:00.000-08:00

WOW. Who would have believed it, if you didn't see it yourself? I found a CASTLE in Kansas.
(Off of Old Highway 40, just west of Junction City, it is visable from I-70.) It is a "playhouse" built for the property owner's daughter many years ago. Yet, like any grand castle of ages long ago, it is still being worked upon today. It has bridges, a victoria garden, suits of armor, lion and gargoal statues, a "great hall", a dungeon, and even a sea monster in the "lake". I brought my daughters there for a "tea garden party". It was GRAND. It is not listed in the Castles of the United States, yet it should be.

Pride of Ownership

2005-11-23T08:43:00.000-08:00

Just a little steam release.

I pride myself on the self learning I have been doing in the field of webpage design, yet recently my work was challenged.

I have been building the web site for St. Xavier Parish from the very beginning. And then I have built the web site for St. Xavier Catholic School ( http://stxavier.net ) . I did this all volunteerly. (Even when my children were not enrolled in the school.) I optimized the site as best I could do in the search engines. I listed the school site in as many educational school listings I could find, thus increasing the incoming traffic. I did the best I could do in keeping it updated, even with my multiple requests for information from the staff and teachers being delayed. I had problems getting the school lunch menu updated and the school handbook changed "right" after I finished a long manual entry html page.

I guess the current updates were not fast enough for them. The school started it's own "new" website; http://saintxrams.org .
{{ Which, by the way, I found out about by reading it in the Sunday church bulletin. This printed bulletin I have been picking up, usually, on Thurdays to be able to do the WEEKLY updates to the bulletin online.}}

Don't get me wrong. I am glad that she wanted to undertake the JOB of keeping the school site current. I wish her the best of luck. At first, I changed the links throughout the site to reflect the current updates that she had to offer. (menu, newsletter, handbook, etc.) No problem.

What got me upset was the fact that first the principal, and then the new web builder (after bumping into her at a convience store), both TOLD ME to transfer ALL control to them... to transfer the right to the domain name (stxavier.net) to them.... to set up a redirect on that home page to the NEW website ..... to "drop" [delete] all the work that I have done on the site.

*&$%)FL&(*S!!!!!!!!!!

Well, thank you for being so kind to let me get that off my chest.

After prayer and reflection, I have decided that I OWN http://stxavier.net.

I will modify it to include links to the current updates that the new webmaster is going to do.
I will offer my assistance to the school and/or the new webmaster for any page editing.
I will keep the links that I have from the parish web site to my school site.
I will continue to pray for the benefit of St. Xavier School.
I will meet them half way; I am including a rotating redirect on the home page. Half the time, visiting viewers will go to my work. The other half of the time, visitors will be redirected to the new work.

We both win. That is the christian thing to do. My prayers go out to all.

YOURS IN THE SERVICE OF JESUS CHRIST.
George McMillin

P.S. After I had an other talk with the new webmaster, I saw that my initial response was wrong. I am sorry. I have removed her name as per her request, and I pray that we will be working together to form an informative and current school website.

We are both ~ ~ ~ Yours In The Service Of Jesus Christ.
George McMillin and our new "guest" webmaster.
