I sometimes say my cell phone save my life because it babysit for me [My cell phone babysitter], I can update my facebook, twitter, check email, watch videos, text… all the cool stuff a cool phone can do. But when Dan Woolley says my iPhone saves my life boy did he really mean it. Dan Woolley is one of the many people who were trap under the rubble after the 7.0 magnitude earthquake hits Haiti last week. He was able to use a medical app saved on his iPhone to treat a broken foot. Then, he used the instructions from the app to treat the bleeding from cuts on his legs and the back of his head. He used his camera to take pictures of way out – I never knew the iPhone could take pictures in the dark. That was a great option for him since he couldn’t really see anything, he was looking for refuge following the pictures. He eventually ended up in an elevator shaft were he waited for 65 hours before the rescue crews found him. In his own word “I kind of had some time to do some self-diagnosis down there,” Woolley said. “God was with me.” He also used the notepad app to write his family a note in case he didn’t make it but like he said God was with him in the mist of the darkness. Not that God wasn’t with the rest of them that died… What can I say God works in mysterious ways and His plan differ from person to person. Praise be to God Mr Woollley is alive and receiving care at Jackson Memorial Hospital in Miami. On a lighter note if he could do all that why didn’t he just call? ummh.. let me think he didn’t have the map! LOL no ATT bashing! bad bad bad Roodlyne

It’s been cold here in South Florida for a good 2 weeks, and I have been whining and bickering about it ever since. we don’t have central heating and I was scared to use a space heater around my super active 2 year old and my crawling 9 months old babies. So we wear extra layers of clothes, my girls had to wear hat and boots inside and I hated it. I didn’t miss a minute without complaining about it. Until yesterday when a relative call to say turn on the TV and I saw what is happening in Haiti. Oh My God! I was speechless at the devastation. Haiti is a disaster on its own now added a 7.0 magnitude earthquake there are no words to describe the devastation, the anguish of these people right now. I’m sitting here feeling so helpless, I wish there were something I could do. Now my cold house seems so meaningless… I feel so grateful for my cold house. The Haitians now are deprived of everything, and it is so heart broken and painful. All I can do right now is pray that God will provide healing for the injured, consolation for the broken hearted, shelter for the lost, and food for the hungry.
Lets Pray for Haiti!

I just watched the Clint Eastwood movie Gran Torino for some reason I keep saying “Grand Torontino” Don’t ask me why I don’t know. Anyway back to the movie… I know this movie has been out and I just saw it. Well, what can I say I a working mom with two babies under the age of two. Sometimes going to the movies can be a luxury. Even going to blockbuster and rent it can be a luxury. So I have to wait until its on HBO, set it to record on my DVR then wait when the clan are asleep, (if they ever fall asleep at the same time) run downstairs and watch the movie. DISCLAIMER!!! if you like me and you haven’t seen the movie and planning on seeing it big spoiler coming up CLICK AWAY! The movie started with the funeral of the wife of a grumpy war veteran.He came back to live in his old neighborhood filled with Hmong (I didn’t know who they were either) and gangs. He (Clint Eastwood) hated these people and they hate him. I would have hate him the guy is so bitter he growl at people. Seriously growl like a angry bulldog. A young Hmong boy being peer-pressured to join a gang was challenge to steal the angry man exquisite 1972 Gran Torino. The car that he apparently put together himself and hold it very dear. Old angry man comes out pull a rifle at the boy and order the rest of them to “Get Off My Lawn” classic phrase! I still laugh saying it “get off my lawn”. Like I said the boy wasn’t a bad kid he was being pressured. So the boy’s mom beg angry old man to let the boy pay amend for trying to steal his car. I wish moms would do that to their kids, make them pay some kinda amend for their offense, so they know that wrong doing comes with a price. That just me.
So the boy ended up working for angry old man, who makes him fix and clean almost everybody’s houses in the block. Over the few weeks of working for him they develop a very unlikely friendship. That was my favorite part: No matter where we came from or what we look like, at the end of the day we just people, if we take the time to get to know each other we’ll realize that we have a lot in common. yadi yadi yada Grumpy old man ended up being not so grumpy anymore, he teach the boy stuff and got him a job even keep the gang away from him. Keeping the gang away was not an easy task He gave His life so these Hmong kids would have a safe gang free life.
Couldn’t help but related this story to the beautiful gift of Christmas. How God pure and Holy choose to give His only son to die for poor sinners. At the end of the movie, the reviewers only talk about the car, no one mention the beautiful sacrificial love between two different group of people. It was a a rated R movie filled with bad language and violence but if you could get past all that there is a beautiful lesson there.
