Return to Sender
Don't you just love getting packages, letters, and email? I get so excited when I hear the UPS man's big brown truck rumbling onto my street. I run to the window, excited to see if he will stop and drop off a package at my doorstep. When we see the mailman stopping at my box, the kids excitedly yell out in unison "Can I go get the mail? Pleeeeeeease." I LOVE, absolutely LOVE to open up my inbox and find that I have personalized emails from those I love. I savor the click of opening each one and finding the morsel inside that is just for me.
But, I hate spam and junk mail and companies trying to get me to accept their "free" gift. I don't want that junk. I want to take those things and take a big red permanent marker and write across each and every one of them...RETURN TO SENDER!!!!!!
And God wants us to do the same things with the thoughts that aren't' from him.
"You never do the right thing"--sorry you've got the wrong addressee--RETURN TO SENDER!!!
"You're a horrible wife/mother/friend/human being"--oh you must have made a mistake, that woman doesn't live here anymore she died with Christ--RETURN TO SENDER!!!
"You are stupid"--wrong name, the only person who lives here is called a child of God--RETURN TO SENDER!!!
"Just quit now, you will never get it"--I can't sign for that one either because I endure to the end--RETURN TO SENDER!!!
So next time that thought pulls up to your doorstep and tries to get into your mind...get out your permanent marker and use the Word in red...Jesus said, "Get thee behind me Satan." And don't feel bad about returning that thought back to its original sender!

Good thought Stacey.

One thing I do return to sender are those credit card applications. I just stuff some junk paper in the business reply envelopes and drop them in the mail. (I shred the actual application forms.) Sometimes it's five or six a week. It's childish, I know, but it's fun. I like your idea, Stacey!

Great post! That is wonderful advise and I think I will take it. I to am an email junky. A good way to ensure you get packages in the mail is to order stuff at Gap online. I like to send myself a little weekly thrill! jk

Hi Stacey,
I have to say thanks for your comment on my photoblog. I think your comment is the greatest one I've ever had, even though it wasn't "techie." I don't care if you understand all of that; my goal is for you and everyone to get enjoyment from my photos. I really enjoy your site as well. You are a wonderful and creative writer.

ite soccer are $25 in advance and
lay all things Dre (all night, no joke), guests are encouraged to drink 40s, indulge in rap snacks, or win prizes in heated rounds of Dre trivia. Or you could participate in a game of $20 Sack Pyramid, if only because that's a real thing that exists here. Tickets are $10 in advance (more at the door), with a complimentary "gin and juice" open bar from 9 to 10. And if that's a little too early to head out to the bars for you, grab a 40 from your corner bodega and pregame for the night's festivities with this excellent Dre Day mix, courtesy of Jimmy 2 Times.The rest of your Friday evening is committed to dance music. If you're in Brooklyn, head to the Heavy Carnivale loft massive in Bushwick, where bass reigns supreme. There's a little bit of everything in tonight's mix: Ninjatune's Poirer, Basement Bhangra queen DJ Rekha, the self-explanatory Bassanovva (Grahmzilla & Jubilee), house head $mallchange, and Konkrete Jungle's Liondub preside over a dance floor that will undoubtedly last well into the early morning. .Aliexpressite xpect a mix of tropical dance, jungle, dubstep, house, and bhangra, as well as light installations, live performances, and all those things that make raves so spectacularly weird. Tickets are $15 before midnight, $20 after. Good luck.If you're staying cityside, head over to District 36, where electronic dance label Planet E will be celebrating their 20 years of making you dance. The label's most prominent artist, legendary Detroit techno producer Carl Craig, headlines the fete with DJ Derrick May and the U.K.'s Paul Woolford. While we've seen these guys before, basking in their glory on District 36's insane soundsystem is enough to motivate us to catch them yet again. Tickets are $25 in advance, and we suspect they're more at the door. And if you're looking to take it easy, try Hot Chip's Alexis Taylor at Le Bain. He won't be singing tonight, but instead manning the turntables with House of House's Saheer Umar. No cover, but get there early if you want.ite soccer any chance of getting in.

I saw her later on out there when we did our “Step In The Arena” performance in L.A. It was our first L.A. show – actually our second. It was our first big show in L.A. The first show we did was in ’89, and that’s how I met MC Eiht. In ’89, it was him, [WC]. And I remember Ice Cube and Suge Knight got into a fight. That’s when Suge Knight was working for Eazy-E at the time. Because Cube had just left N.W.A., so Eazy and them…they showed their unhappiness and Cube and them started scrappin’. But Cube made it out alright. He was punching back. I witnessed all of that. I was standing right there when that shit went down. But Cube held his ground… These are crazy memories.
