A DAY OR SO IN MY LIFE! WHO CARES?

Please know that I am not trying to be controversial I am only hopping to make a point that is common knowledge I hope. The spreading of the peoples of the earth began with Nimrod and those who went wherever such as Indians and Aborigines had large territories. All the people of the world did just as God had created them to do; they multiplied and soon there was need for more room. They went to these places for other reasons but it was for room on the plan et. Not the same with Abram who became... Sign in to see full entry.

I do so appreciate your answering those questions according to your feelings. There was absolutely no one except the one person who claims not to be a religious person, certainly not a Christian that appeared to have concrete knowledge of the background of the Jews. That was Nautikos. I was not surprised that those of the Catholic faith did not know. Their faith comes out of the Nickolatins who insisted all people must speak to God through a higher being in the faith a father, priest, bishop or... Sign in to see full entry.

A governmental man stands in a crowd of world leaders and says, that the destruction of the Jews is not a bargaining chip. At least that was the sentiment regardless of the exact words. Jews have been evicted from almost every country in the world. What is your opinion as to why people hate, disrespect and want to kill Jews? They have the greatest number of exceptional people in all walks of life, science, medicine, law, music, poetry, and art. They are not out killing people on all sides. Tell...

I vividly remember my first trip to New York City as a fashion designer with my big clothes bag of samples. I had been to THE city before but not in a capacity where I had to really take charge and stand up for myself in the most unusual ways. It was not nearly as exciting and fun as I had envisioned it before I was there. I thought to myself I have really broken into the fashion world. Oh my what this back-woodsy girl had to learn. I was carrying all of the 84 pieces in that line. It was... Sign in to see full entry.

Wrest her from the claws of the street Get her before Dark, Then she climbs into shadowy hiding places Waiting For a hit to get a fix Where’s God? Everywhere He is waiting for her heart She is afraid of Him. He Sent me, and others like me I saw her standing there A waif of a girl all grown up Like a disjointed doll Her little girl bosom over plump covered just to the edge of not enough Oh it was such a long way to what passed for a skirt beginning only a scant bit above the pubic patch and...

I was hesitant to put so much personal junk out there but there is so much more of it than just that. Life is a sad situation in many cases. Many so-call nice families have lots of bad happenings. I have been very successful considering the circumstances. TAPS and Krislis both suggested that I do motivational speaking encouraging others to do the hard things to get to where they wanted to be. I have been doing that for sever al years as a ministry. I talk to women who have been in re-hab or are... Sign in to see full entry.

I wish I could show you photographs of some of the catering and the foods I am pleased with them. I find it so hard to manage photo-bucket. Yes I did it all and had other careers too I will write about them. You see I felt I had no choice. I gave birth to three lovely children over a period of ten years. During that time I worked for others. Also during that time I was physically abused with no place to turn for help. My family turned a deaf ear due to any embarrassment. Those days were very...

Sometime back somone asked me to post on my careers. I began and something else came up that closed that. Here is a touch on the foods layer of them because it played a large part in almost all I have done except fashion. Throughout my life food almost always played a role if not the main often it was a major focus. I think I was born loving to cook, discerning about flavor and making new things. FOOD FLAVORS ARE SUCH A PART OF ME SPECIAL EFFECTS, etc. was my first totally foods business. It... Sign in to see full entry.

George and I are working on some tedious projects right now. George is a good amateur photographer and a good musician. I am fair at amateur poetry so we are making hard backed spiral ring type books. You know the kind where you make the covers, pages and insert spiral rings. The books are 5X7 and each page will be a photograph on one side, printed on the best photo paper and the back is a poem. Of course when a poem is too long for one single page we will continue it until the end the poem... Sign in to see full entry.

This is just another one of those days, a day that has more than enough to fill the basket and I have a difficult time knowing where to begin. Many years of living have taught me there is not always a beginning and an end. Just go for it, begin somewhere and get it finished. How glib one can be when they are young enough to know how, when, where and most importantly why. All the relevance these words had in your young life become tempered with age because you no longer can put all things in a... Sign in to see full entry.

Today is simply not pretty oh I don’t refer to this calendar day. No I am thinking of this ghastly time when people are comfortable w ith sexual innuendo and such in mixed company at table or whatever. Yesterday people were prone to affairs, not openly, not blatantly out for the whole word to see including your own spouse and children, it is vulgar. Yesterday we made lovely meals for family and friends, visited and enjoyed it. Today we grab a fast food sandwich chat via our best friend the cell... Sign in to see full entry.

I don’t think I understand living here. It is certainly not what I expected, not in any way. When I turned 30 I didn’t have any shocking regrets I didn’t think that was old and what is old anyway except living longer than yesterday. On rolled the other decades and nothing shattering came along. Well not much anyway. This time I am more tired. I look at things with an ending, not as before, I just sort of felt as if all things would work themselves out if you gave them a chance and worked toward... Sign in to see full entry.

A 10 YEAR OLD REPOST - HOPE YOU WILL FORGIVE ME. I have three strikes against me going into the New Year. I could go to a masquerade ball without a mask and not be recognized. Day before yesterday I attempted to get out of my chair to get coffee when my slipper caught in the rug. I knew I was falling but I could not stop I was in motion full throttle. I had a totally ungraceful fall hands flailing first then a drop on the left knee then left hand on to the right knee and right hand still I could... Sign in to see full entry.

Everybody in the area knew Mr. Monroe. Long time before like maybe in the 1930s or even earlier he worked in what he called the ‘traveling show’. He worked until that is after he had his accident. I don’t know how close to the truth the telling of this story was but according to him he went from one side of the train between the cars to get on the side to enter instead of going such a long way around. Just as he stepped upon the train it uncoupled to switch and he was caught in the middle. It... Sign in to see full entry.

Ann Lucile Wallace stood far to the side of the gathering of people at the cemetery. She was dressed inappropriately as she should for this most inappropriate funeral. “Ann Lucille, honey I am so sorry. But you know I had never heard he had any more children much less another wife. Did you know this?” Asked Alice Webb looking greedy for some gossip fodder. “Alice Webb you are an ace in the hole when it comes to asking the wrong question about the wrong thing and at the wrong time still expecting...

Some 2,000 years ago a young man lived in Israel whose name was Simon Peter bar-Jonah. Well there were a few things about this young man that were special. You see he was already a fairly big business man. He was a fisherman. Since there were no automobile manufacturers, no world bankers, no high rise luxury hotel builders or owners and on and on as we have he had a really viable market. Everybody ate fish, he was a fisherman. We know he was Jonah’s boy because of the bar-Jonah. Now out on the... Sign in to see full entry.

I may have posted this before I can't remember it if I have but that is the grace of age. God grant me the senility to forget the people I never liked anyway, the good fortune to run into the ones I do, and the eyesight to tell the difference. Now that I'm "older" (but refuse to grow up), here's what I've discovered: 1. I started out with nothing, and I still have most of it. 2. My wild oats have turned into prunes and All Bran. 3.

Bam, bam! These sounds were coming from the front door. I felt the other side of the bed and John was not there. I heard loud cursing coming from the front door. I slipped into the next bedroom, pulled out my daddy’s shotgun, loaded it, and did not actually know why. The pistol was in a room by the door where the sounds were coming from. It was so scary that I was simply following the drive to protect my husband, who had nothing to protect himself with against what sounds like several people. I... Sign in to see full entry.

Where has our country’s compassion gone? Hidden in the crevices of hate and greed? Tell me our words are not our true hearts cry. When did we sink so low? We reject truth just to win our prize. We laugh at the Christian faith. The faith of our forefathers we deny. Nobody remembers it was a nation of production. A nation of pride in one’s work has long gone to China. A nation crying against spending and crying too for more spending how does that line up? Our ancestors established this country as... Sign in to see full entry.
