"Au-Bama"

"Au-Bama"

 

 

What can be anymore opposite than Auburn Unitersity and the University of Alabama?  Let's see through this particular challenge.  Although, I started out with the various color studies and finding the opposites.  It dawned on me that the two biggest universities in the State of Alabama are so contrast in their own beginnings, histories, sportsmanships, and not to forget, colors.  Auburn University's mascot are the Tigers, but the "Auburnites" shout out "War Eagle".  Another interesting fact about Auburn University is that their school colors are orange and blue.  One the other hand, there is the University of Alabama which the "Bama people" (both my husband's and my favorite team) shout out "Roll Tide" or "Roll Tide Roll", and that school's mascot is the elephant. The University of Alabama's school colors are crimson red, white, and gray.  

 

However, there are several couples who are for both schools by having one person rooting for Auburn University and the other person fot the University of Alabama.  Now, that is where the name of "Au-Bama" comes into play.  At least twenty-five years ago, I have both heard about and started to see more and more "Au-Bama" related stickers on car fenders as well other memorablia showing up on various items such as wreaths and car tags.

"Think Positive" (Sign)

"Think Positive"

Philippians 4:4-8

(Plaque)

"Think Positive" is a sign that encorages positive thinking with a Bible verse that validates the importance of thinking positive.  This particular sign was an inspiration of my mother due to her "Advice To The Bride" at one of  my bridal showers.  It was about three years ago when I both copied the letters and words in the style of that text book cursive writing while I was making this sign.

* "Philippians 4:4-8" - Bible verse references which are some of my most favorite Bible verses

                                because they are so uplifting  The Bible verses go like this:
                                V. 4 - "Rejoice in the Lord alway: and again, I say, Rejoice.
                                V. 5 - " Let your moderation be known unto all men. The Lord is at hand."
                                V. 6 - "Be careful for nothing: but in every thing by prayer and supplication
                                           with thanksgiving let your requests be known unto God."
                                 V. 7 - "And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep
                                           your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus."
                                 V. 8 - "Finally, bretheren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things
                                            are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure,
                                            whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report;
                                            if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things."

                                  (Please note that I copied these verses from the King James Version.)
