I don’t know why, but every time I see this picture I have from the Superman Celebration this year showing this little baby girl dressed as Super Baby, it makes me feel better. She looks so sweet and innocent and in awe of whatever she is looking at. And I know she is being raised by people who believe in the ideals Superman represents. So it gives me hope for the future. [She may actually be a holy terror, but I'd rather not know.]

Here’s an unaltered song about miracles:

======

“Ordinary Miracle”
Sarah McLachlan

It’s not that unusual
When everything is beautiful
It’s just another
Ordinary miracle today

The sky knows when it’s time to snow
Don’t need to teach a seed to grow
It’s just another
Ordinary miracle today

Life is like a gift, they say
Wrapped up for you everyday
Open up, and find a way
To give some of your own

Isn’t remarkable?
Like every time a raindrop falls
It’s just another
Ordinary miracle today

The birds in winter have their fling
And always make it back by spring
It’s just another
Ordinary miracle today

When you wake up everyday
Please don’t throw your dreams away
Hold them close to your heart
‘Cause we are all a part

Of the ordinary miracle

Ordinary miracle

Do you want to see a miracle

It seems so exceptional
That things just turn out after all
It’s just another
Ordinary miracle today

The sun comes out and shines some bright
And disappears again at night
It’s just another
Ordinary miracle today

It’s just another
Ordinary miracle today

Recipe for a Miracle

• 1 cup Tension
• 2 cups Stress
• 1 teaspoon of Guilt
• 2 heaping cups of Limited Time
• 3/4 tablespoon of Urgency
• A dash of “No Other Choice”
• 3 heaping cups of Faith

Fold ingredients gently into a bowl. Mix vigorously and add a few tears. You’ll sweat a little as you knead the dough.

Pack it firmly between your hopes and dreams and form into a perfect little ball.

Sprinkle it with a little faith, rolling the ball in the flour until fully covered.
Place it under a veil of belief and allow it to rise.

Put it in an oven that has been pre-set at the perfect temperature for the heat of trials and tribulations.

Allow it to brown under the warmth of God’s love. Remove after due season and allow to cool in the confidence of His promise.

Garnish with your praises. Arrange neatly on a platter of thankfulness and serve to friends, families and, oh yes, strangers . . . invite them too!

Pass on the recipe to all who request it and let them know that with this recipe, they have the makings of a miracle!

I found this on my desk as I was cleaning through the mountain of paperwork. I must have printed it off of the net months ago and forgot about it!

I was just going to post a simple message telling Jennifer how impressed I am that someone has acted on a Mack Event. I’m sure others have done so also, but I personally haven’t been able to think of a way to express my beliefs yet. I thought of putting a sign in my window saying the same as my T-Shirts, but then what they say may offend so I decided against it!

I’m sure something will come to me soon.

P.S. Don’t worry Luigi, I have no end of trouble with English also! Thank goodness for spellchecker, that’s all I can say!

Jennifer hi!

Awesome job Jennifer. Allison, I’m glad you like your communities’ actions on your mackevents. It’s very rewarding to know that we as fans can do these amazing things an connect them to you! I will definetly start on these projects. They are tons of fun and they give out great messages to our neighbourhoods or friends. This is awesome, much love and support, Brittany XOXOX
P.S. I’m starting my musical theatre tonight! I’m super excited!

oh yay brittany!
I’m excited for you!!!

“Fan” is short for “Fanatic” and no matter how many fans you have in an attic, it doesn’t get much cooler. In fact, the motors from the fan increase the heat. And even ‘people fans’ put out 600 BTUs per person per hour.

haha arash

Arash,

You’re in Dub-I? Allison for many years resided on the Dub-B … but she’s moved onto the C-Dub.

Hmmm … left out the part about my wife’s ex-sister-in-law being arrested for taking a baseball bat to a man she lives with despite him liking to beat her up on a regular basis. Guess that makes dealing with one shoe seem a little more minor as well. Another positive! YEAH!!

Well, just another average day at the Hayes household.

Another positive! Having this gas bubble in my eye does obscure some of my reading vision and reflects ligth in bizarre ways that gives me headaches … but now, based on where the buble is located I can tell if I am standing up straight and walking with good posture WITHOUT having to balance a plate on my head (which has always come too easy for me based upon the flatness factor). After all, looking good is better than seeing good!

Actual Helen Keller quotes (I think … can’t always trust the Net in this Wikipedia world):

Although the world is full of suffering, it is also full of the overcoming of it.

Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure. The fearful are caught as often as the bold.

Be not dumb, obedient slaves in an army of destruction! Be heroes in an army of construction!

Death is no more than passing from one room into another. But there’s a difference for me, you know. Because in that other room I shall be able to see.

Everything has its wonders, even darkness and silence, and I learn, whatever state I may be in, therein to be content.

Faith is the strength by which a shattered world shall emerge into the light.

I do not want the peace which passeth understanding, I want the understanding which bringeth peace.

I long to accomplish a great and noble task, but it is my chief duty to accomplish small tasks as if they were great and noble.

I seldom think about my limitations, and they never make me sad. Perhaps there is just a touch of yearning at times; but it is vague, like a breeze among flowers.

It is a terrible thing to see and have no vision.

It is for us to pray not for tasks equal to our powers, but for powers equal to our tasks, to go forward with a great desire forever beating at the door of our hearts as we travel toward our distant goal.

It is wonderful how much time good people spend fighting the devil. If they would only expend the same amount of energy loving their fellow men, the devil would die in his own tracks of ennui.

Knowledge is love and light and vision.

Life is an exciting business, and most exciting when it is lived for others.

Many people know so little about what is beyond their short range of experience. They look within themselves – and find nothing! Therefore they conclude that there is nothing outside themselves either.

Many persons have a wrong idea of what constitutes true happiness. It is not attained through self-gratification but through fidelity to a worthy purpose.

My share of the work may be limited, but the fact that it is work makes it precious.

Never bend your head. Always hold it high. Look the world straight in the eye.

One can never consent to creep when one feels an impulse to soar.

Optimism is the faith that leads to achievement. Nothing can be done without hope and confidence.

Science may have found a cure for most evils; but it has found no remedy for the worst of them all – the apathy of human beings.

Security is mostly a superstition. It does not exist in nature, nor do the children of men as a whole experience it. Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure. Life is either a daring adventure, or nothing.

Smell is a potent wizard that transports you across thousands of miles and all the years you have lived.

Strike against war, for without you no battles can be fought!

The highest result of education is tolerance.

The marvelous richness of human experience would lose something of rewarding joy if there were no limitations to overcome. The hilltop hour would not be half so wonderful if there were no dark valleys to traverse.

The world is moved along, not only by the mighty shoves of its heroes, but also by the aggregate of tiny pushes of each honest worker.

What we have once enjoyed we can never lose. All that we love deeply becomes a part of us.

When one door closes, another opens. But we often look so regretfully upon the closed door that we don’t see the one that has opened for us.

I sometimes wonder if the hand is not more sensitive to the beauties of sculpture than the eye. I should think the wonderful rhythmical flow of lines and curves could be more subtly felt than seen. Be this as it may, I know that I can feel the heart-throbs of the ancient Greeks in their marble gods and goddesses.

Museums and art stores are also sources of pleasure and inspiration. Doubtless it will seem strange to many that the hand unaided by sight can feel action, sentiment, beauty in the cold marble; and yet it is tr Literature is my utopia.

The best educated human being is the one who understands most about the life in which he is placed.

A man can’t make a place for himself in the sun if he keeps taking refuge under the family tree.

There is no better way to thank God for your sight than by giving a helping hand to someone in the dark.

I believe in the immortality of the soul because I have within me immortal longings

There is plenty of courage among us for the abstract but not for the concrete.

I am just as deaf as I am blind. The problems of deafness are deeper and more complex, if not more important than those of blindness. Deafness is a much worse misfortune. For it means the loss of the most vital stimulus — the sound of the voice that brings language, sets thoughts astir, and keeps us in the intellectual company of man.

This is something I have been thinking about for a while. With a few disscustions we had about;
“Inroversion” vs. “paying attention”
“selfishness” vs. “selflessness”
And then I heard allison said; “I believe in love”. But how do we decide how much share everybody should have from it. Love ourselves, Love one person or love every one equally.
Another one of my childhood stories “fiddler on the roof”;
So again me and my brother lying down on the roof one night watching the stars, my brother asked me, which one is yours? I said I don’t know, I don’t have a star. He said well pick one. I looked and picked the brightest, it might have been the northern star, So I said that one. How about you? He pointed at a very dim and small star and said that’s mine. I laughed and said, well my star kicks your’s butt for sure, you can hardly see it why should you pick that one. He said, because I am sure that is only mine.

I agree Robin.

Guilt always leaves a bitter taste in my mouth anyway!

Thanks everyone,I’m so glad you all like my pic. I’m bugging my friend to make a sign with one of her beliefs then take a picture of it and send it in.

Allison I have to say that this was one of my favorite MackEvents. <3

Time for a new mack event Ally, time for a new one… One that could bring thousands to participate. It’ll take time to gather so much people but i do believe in miracles…

Do you really say or use the word “fuck” a lot or is that just someone else fucking with your site?
