Verse of the Day: “Take delight in the LORD, and he will give you the desires of your heart.” Psalm 37:4 NIV

Book Review:  Found this book during one of my regular book-browsing sesions at Target, and had to pick it up.  Basically the story of a girl who commits suicide and leaves a series of tapes explaining the series of events that lead to her tragic decision.  While I obviously didn't agree with her decision, and was frusterated with her at times, the book was really well written, and I think it had a very important message.. that we can affect people's lives deeply by the things we do, and we need to be so careful to be a positive influence and source of Christ's love to people rather than the opposite. Though obviously no one else can MAKE someone commit suicide or be blamed for it, careless words and actions CAN end up hurting someone a lot... Anyone interested in psychology, or just a book with an interesting format would definetly enjoy this.  I'd give it a 9 out of 10 on the great-book scale.
Things that are awesome: e-trade baby commercials.  .. You wouldn't think a baby talking in an adult voice would be THAT funny.. but literally these are all hilarious. Funny commercials are so rare anymore... Check this one out.  My dad and I were crying laughing so hard... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=owQBB6uNg64

Far Side of the Day:

Urban Dictionary Word of the Day: Boss= Incrediably Awesome; miraculous; great

Psych Fact of the Day: Holophrase=a word that is used in place of an entire phrase (e.g. 'bottle' instead of 'I want a bottle'). Chilren who are just learning to speak use these.
