The Privilege of Praise
To praise someone is to extol, glorify or honor him/her. One definition that really sums it up for me is: "to go into raptures over." I love that! Doesn't that accurately describe a state of exuberance? Can you see yourself jumping up and down, screaming and laughing over some great feat your favorite team has performed or the prize you've won?
Privilege equals freedom. Being able to let go and shout and not be concerned about what you sound like or what impression you may be giving to others. You just don't care because you are so happy and you just want to express it to those who deserve it. You may have had a difficult day or facing terrible circumstanced.
But right at this moment you're free and full of joy!
Isn't that the way you are with God ? every day ? praising Him for all His goodness? Oh?? You mean you don't get excited about Him every day? You don't feel like praising because your husband/wife got up grumpy, the kids are screaming, and you have a humungous headache? Maybe you're lying in a hospital bed in pain and anguish and praise is just not in your vocabulary.
Let me tell you a story that happened to me. My husband, Jack, who had just begun to rally from a coma, brain surgery, and a month-long stint in Intensive Care, suddenly experienced a drastic turn for the worst. The chain of events those eight hours had practically plunged me in despair. The whole ordeal had taken its toll on me and this was just about the last straw I could bear. How I got home that evening only God knows.
My eyes were bloodshot from crying and I was ready to just curl up and have a pity party.
As I opened the front door I was greeted with Praise music! Here were my two daughters and their fianc?es standing around the CD player, singing songs of praise at the top of their lungs. They, too, had a difficult day dealing with dad's medical crash while balancing studies and work schedules. What a present ... and what a Presence! Very soon in that anointed atmosphere my spirits lifted and I was singing along lustily, praising God for His goodness and Love.
He deserves our praise at all times.
"Praise God in his sanctuary, praise him in the firmament of his power, praise him for his mighty acts, praise him according to his excellent greatness..
let everything that hath breath praise the Lord. Praise ye the Lord." (Ps. 150) Don't praise Him only when you feel like it; praise Him because He is your Lord, Saviour and Deliverer. Praise Him because He deserves it whether you feel like it or not.
"Let the saints be joyful in glory; let them sing aloud upon their beds." (Ps. 149:5) Yes, on your bed ? even when you're too tired or too desperately sick! Why? Because: "Blessed is the people that know the joyful sound; they shall walk, O Lord, in the light of thy countenance. In thy name shall they rejoice all the day; and in thy righteousness shall they be exalted. For thou art the glory of their strength; and in thy favour our horn shall be exalted. For the Lord is our defence; and the holy one of Israel shall be our king." (Ps.
89:15-18)
Take it from me. You may need a little help to get started with praise in the midst of your circumstances ? as I did. But WOW, what a true privilege it is to have the weapon of praise! Yes, it is a weapon. When you start praising the Lord, the devil flees, the anointing of God comes down and your reward is joy and healing. Be sure to invest in some Praise CDs.
They're a great catalyst to stir up a song within you.

Log Cabin Living: Soften the d?cor with fabric, artwork, and plants
If you're looking for a rustic living experience, log cabins - either individually built or from a prefab kit - are a great choice; but they do present some unique decorating challenges. Most often the interior walls around the perimeter of the home are constructed of the same rough logs as the exterior; so what do you do to define your d?cor, or to provide a new look to a home that's become boring to you?
Drapes on the windows are always an easy option, but don't stop there. Quilts or other fabric wall hangings can add interest while establishing a color scheme; add enough large quilts in your choice of designs and the bare log walls will fade into the background. (Wall hangings can also do double duty by helping to minimize drafts common in log homes.) Carefully chosen artwork can also help define the d?cor; a group of small paintings can complement the log walls, while a number of large canvases can completely redefine the d?cor, creating any look you want within the...

Obesity Increases Risk for Disease
San Diego, CA (ContentDesk) June 22, 2006 -- The American Cancer Society recently presented evidence that links weight gain later in life to an increase risk of breast cancer. The study of more than 44,000 women found that the more weight a woman gained, the greater her risks for all types, stages and grades of breast cancer.

The History of Vacuum Cleaner Bags
The debris picked up by all of the different types of vacuum cleaners and units on the market has to be deposited somewhere -- usually in a vacuum cleaner bag.
In 1920 the Air Way Sanitizer Company of Ohio introduced the first vacuum cleaner with a disposable bag. Up until that time, vacuum cleaner bags resembled the type of bags golfers use to carry their clubs. They were heavy and unwieldy devices made out of thick, stiff canvas, designed to be somewhat flexible and yet keep...
