Proverbs 16:1
The plans of the heart belong to man,
But the answer of the tongue is from the LORD.
A popular saying these days is Be careful what you pray for which implies that you're always going to get what you pray for. That's not necessarily so but does happen. One of the purposes of regular prayer is to keep your mind and thoughts centered on God and what His desires are. Many times, His desires will become your desires and you often WILL get what you pray for in that case. Keep in mind that He can see the past, present and future. We don't always remember the past exactly, often are too emotionally involved to really "see" the present and have no way of seeing the future. Keep praying and watch your heart change and see your prayers answered, maybe even in a way that you were not expecting--yes, no, wait, or another way.... The Lord really does know what is best. As for me, I'll stick with what He plans far above what I plan any day.
Romans 8:28
And we know that God causes all things to work together for good
to those who love God,
to those who are called according to His purpose.

DISNEY NATURE MOVIE--OCEANS:
I hope you are enjoying your Saturday with family and friends. This afternoon my husband and I are going to take in an early matinee of the new Disney movie Oceans that we've heard so much about. It is Disney's nature movie release that coincided with Earth Day this past week. Narrator: Pierce Brosnan. Sound: Skywalker Ranch. I hope the film isn't just evolution propaganda. When I was growing up and in elementary public school, there used to be a cycle of Disney nature movies that were shown in the classrooms and local libraries. Does anyone remember those from the 1960's? I enjoyed them back then, too.
MOVIE REVIEW: Excellent underwater photography. A few references to evolution and everyone coming from the sea, millions of years ago... Minimal though. Most scenes you would never get a glimpse of except for the skill of the photographers (and courage in many cases). Go to a morning show or a matinee. Only cost $6.00 on Saturdays at the AMC theatre near us if you go before noon.
DISCOVERY CHANNEL SERIES--LIFE:
Our family loves watching nature programs (a calming alternative to Jack Bauer saving the world) and have been enjoying the Discovery Channel series Life. Oprah Winfrey is the narrator for the series and she begins every episode with "how many millions of years ago" this or that form of life began. Aside from that, the programs are absolutely excellent. The photography and micro-photography (is that a word?) are truly breath-taking. I believe they are broadcast on Sunday evenings, usually two or more programs back to back. We DVR them and watch later in the week.

EPCOT INTERNATIONAL FLOWER & GARDEN SHOW 2010:
In case you don't live in the Orlando area, let me show you some of the photos I took at the EPCOT International Flower and Garden Show. We were there in March and frankly, I was rather disappointed with the landscaping and lack of blooms. We had very cold weather in early March, so the flowers had probably not adjusted to the cold ground. One month later... it was like going into the Land of Oz. SO beautiful. I took about 50 photos but here are some of my favorites.

Matthew & Gunnar Nelson (Ricky and Kristin Nelson's twin sons) were performing the night we were there. Remember Ozzie and Harriet? Ricky was their younger son. The American Gardens Theatre has a "Flower Power" retro musical performance Friday-Sunday each weekend during the flower and garden show.
It's always Christmas in Germany.
Epcot's Earth Day flower exhibit of dolphins swimming and jumping in the "water". Pretty neat, huh?
