Okay, I am buzzing. I really feel like I am about to crawl out of my flesh. Let me explain... I got up this morning to find NO COFFEE!! In my world this is equal to a typhoon, earthquake, avalanche, etc. (Of course, never having experienced any of these things, it is easy to make these obvious comparisons.) In other words-disaster.
I went to the other office I work out of and finally deciding I couldn't stand the lack of caffeine, I decided to go across the street to Sonic and get a cup of coffee. On my desk, there lay a coupon for Java Chillers for 99 cents. Being the cheapskate that I am I decided to get one. Once there, I thought to myself, "Self, what if you don't like a Java Chiller and find yourself still without caffeine? Obviously that woukld mean disaster to the second power, so it was not even an option. I decided it was better to be safe than sorry, so I ordered a Java Chiller and a cup of coffee just to be safe. WOW!!! I don't know what is in a Java Chiller, but they are not only delicious (think dessert), but they give you a serious kick in the butt! (I suspect there may be an illegal substance in there, but I'm not telling! Anything that good must be illegal.)
Now, since my mind is racing, it gave it me time to ponder gifts from God. (The Java Chiller being one of them.) When God is handing out gifts such as brains, beauty, talent, etc. are there lines? I mean, I can kind of picture lines for each of those things. "The line for looks is at the far end of the building...talent is around the corner...brains in the southeast section..." That would explain so many things, but yet leave other questions unanswered. Did some people just keep crowding in line? We all know those people who are gorgeous, talented and brilliant. We want to hate them but can't because they are also the nicest person on the planet. Is that fair???
Then we also know the person who is sadly unfortunate looking, dumb as a box of rocks, unpleasant and perhaps even stinks. What happened with them?? I don't know. Just something to think about. One thing I know, when the line formed for a sense of direction, I got lost. Sadly, I have been ever since.

Does this thing work???
I enjoyed that one about the lines for beauty, talent etc. It must be true since I too am not very fast so I missed some of those lines.
Hey, life is 99% ordinary. We can't all be gorgeous, gifted and talented!
The best selling, most enduring book in the world says:
"Oh yes, you shaped me first inside, then out;
you formed me in my mother’s womb.
I thank you, High God—you’re breathtaking!
Body and soul, I am marvelously made!
I worship in adoration—what a creation!"
The same book says, "Man looks on the outside, God looks at the heart." You know the old saying, "Beauty is only skin deep!"
So go ahead, y'all, have a great day! There's not another 'you' out there (and aren't we all glad for each other there!).
Christine-Uncorked..........you got that right! After reading this, who needs a cup of coffee?! This alone will get ya goin'!
Keep writing!
