ILLNESS IS OFTEN SYMBOLIC OF EXCESS
Watching t.v. for a short period of time will show you we are a world of excessive people in so many ways. Excess surpasses investigation by such a great margin it makes the advocate's opinions null and void distraction to the truth. It happens here as well. Some bloggers only go on other blogs to criticize the blogger, not to give proven basis for their comments. My husband and I have been excessively busy in our ministry for the last few days. It is difficult to get female musicians for the...

RECIPE FOR DEADLY HASH CAKE?
Take one radical man who has no compunction about lying because his religion affords him the right to lie all he wants to those who are not Muslims. Add to that three dozen or so radical Czars, which is illegal, and mostly they are Communists. Throw in a woman of skin tight bone covering, power hungry, mouth espousing ignorance and arrogance with the morals of an ally cat. Don't forget to toss in a generous amount of the power grabbing leader of the Senate and you have a recipe for taking over a...

IT IS TOTALLY UP TO YOU
Jesus is the only saving grace from the turmoil in the world now. Many will not buy that. It only stands to reason they wouldn't; it makes no sense to them, it is all free and seeking on His terms will cleanse them from fear, the turmoil to come and give them eternal life, together, with a lot of miracles along the way. Too good to be true, it is for the loons who believe in anything. Not so my friends, it is true and for everybody who wants it. I have been a member of a tall steeple, mahogany...

ADDICT'S DRUG OF CHOICE: MISTAKEN IDENTITY
i recently ran into an old acquaintance I had not seen in years, yes many years. This was on one of my rare trips into the 'city'. We met in the book store. It was such a treat to see her even if she only looked a little older than when I saw her last, very little older. We decided to have a cup of coffee and catch up a bit. It was such a strange conversation to me. i had really known her all my life, but we were not best friends etc., just casual acquaintances. I had no idea how really little I...

HOW LITTLE HELP SOME PEOPLE NEED TO BE LIKE YOU/ME
Thursday evening George and I picked up seven women and one man from the jail and brought them to 'Celebrate Recovery' at our church. A meal was served with several kinds of desserts. This is a healing group for recovering addicts whatever kind. There is a program and several small groups afterward. These people wore their orange suites but no arm or leg irons. No one treated them any differently. This was the first time for these to be there. I have never seen more grateful people for anything...

I AM SO BLESSED SOME DAYS I HAVE TO TELL THE WHOLE WORLD
Isn't a good life for your children what every parent wants. We want the best for them, a good relationship with them and we feel all is well. Not so! We want the good life as we see it not necessarily as they see or want it. Anything different often drives us up the wall. The Lord often wants discord between parents and children so the child can find the perfect plan he has for that child's life. He wants that child to have the strength and courage to find it his or her own path from God. If we...

HOW WAS YOUR DAY? MINE WAS AWESOME.
For a few weeks now I have been able to do things I could not for almost fourteen years. It is such a blessing. It is like a new life, not just a lease on this one but a new one. Today I worked in the yard, planted new pots for the front porch, and felt wonderful. It was a beautiful day, hot but not searing hot as earlier ones have been. A gentle breeze blew through the pecan trees cooling the area enough to be content to remain outside. While everybody buys mums for the fall, I pulled a trick....

MY FIRST FUNERAL THAT DIDN'T HURT
Some time ago I thought I was a curse. All those I loved kept dying all around me. My parents and my sons were dead and I had no sibings. Only my daughter was left. Who did I think I was any way? I did not give them life, even if I bore the sons. Whether I was a curse was not my judgement to call; I was being self pitying. It was God who loaned them to me, and me to those parents. I was here for another purpose; I didn't yet know what it was. After seeing other mothers lose children from drugs...

MERCY HAS AN OUTTING
This morning was George's day for music ministry for the recovery group. He knew I was tired from yesterday and last night and he let me sleep until he returned. When I began breakfast I didn't have any bread for toast. In my younger day I would have made biscuits and never thought of it. Now I ask George to go to the store please and get bread. He did and dropped off the cake I baked for the friend who will undoubtedly have family in today. I noticed I had not seen Mercy (our cat) but I knew...

WOW WHAT A DAY
We are rarely in bed before 1 a.m. because most of the time George's work is 3 p.m. until 11 p.m.. He was off today and we were up late until about 3 a.m. yet both of us were wide awake at about six o'clock. Maybe only an hour later the phones began. A friend of ours mother was dying. The family was meeting today to make the decision to take off the life support. We were needed to be there to support and pray for and with them. Two other friends were there when we arrived. The family was doing...

THEY BEGIN AS TINY WARRIORS
It has been a long time but I remember the broken bones, cuts and scratches. Some actions I thought would kill them for sure. Boys are little warriors in training from the womb I do believe. All of you who have been on here very long know I have a little grandson, Samuel. He is a gentle child in usual social interaction. On the field in any sport he is so competitive and when it comes to cuts, breaks, bumps and bruises he appears to go out of his way to get his share. Yesterday his mom called me...

FEAR IS FAITH UPSIDE DOWN...
Oh I must not covet another's property. I wish I could have bought that shiny Jeep SUV a Jimmy I believe they called it. But no it was crushed to keep it off the road. I am driving a thoroughbred clunker and I can't have one of those cars for a small price, I could pay as much as it takes to crush it I guess. I know God is in my corner. He always come through unless I get in the way. I am 'afraid' I am about to do that. I am getting nervous. It is really hitting bottom when your tithe check...

THAT DIRTY CHUNK IS A DIAMOND IN THE ROUGH
Women broken seeking wholeness We are getting ready for class Only half of them are in the room Where are they today or any day They’re hunting, trolling, seeking Looking for anybody to really love them They’ve been through a recovery program Still they are but shards and splinters Puzzle pieces of once beautiful women The pieces don’t interlock they must be glued They are far more valuable than Humpty Dumpty They have been clean for at least six months Before that a year, five some of them more...

IS THE PRICE RIGHT?
Looks like Michael Vick is not worth as much lately! Is someone about to turn his lights out? It is not likely he will be left to do without treatment if he should come down with some horrific disease. He has been judged on the value of what he does. Is that a real stretch? My mother died at 79. She had a variety of ailments including alzheimer which they did not diagnose at the time with true confirmation. Up until the last few weeks before her death she could be up and around. She was...

I DIDN'T REALLY WANT TO KNOW THIS MUCH
I know for sure that all of you grandparents on Blogit think you have the most beautiful grand children in the world. I hate to burst your bubble but I have the most beautiful ones. The boy is from my side and the girls are from George's but we share them. Needless to say we want the very best life possible for them. We want them to be raised with Christian values, good morals, good manners, a good work ethic, studious and inquisitive, we want the best health possible for them; good educations...

JUST WHO ARE YOU?
I don't need to know all about your business. I don't need to know any more than you want to share; however, I like to read those who are more than a post to me. Those who have no ' about me page' are a bit suspect to me. I haven't a clue if those of us who do have are telling the truth. They appear to me to be more real because they have uncovered enough of themselves to allow me to believe they are real at any rate. If people are really 'out there' you will tell that in time from their posts...

BLOGIT THE COMMUNITY OF ALL
Part of the joy of writing on Blogit is the diversity of all of us. We come from an array of countries, some small towns, some large and busy cities and others from the country side. Yet we find things to share in our blogs. There are black, white, red, yellow and brown. We write through that without trouble with very few exceptions. We usually understand the other and make allowances for those concepts that are outside our own understanding. Muslim, Jew, Hindi, Buddhist, Catholic Christians and...

THANKS LUSTORLOVE
This maybe is just my thinking but I noticed lately when I post a comment on a Lustorlove blog she responds. I realize she never stopped doing that. Once we all did it that way. Have we come to take a lot for granted? When you leave a comment on my post that reminds me I haven't read you today. So rather than respond to your comment I run over to your blog and leave you a comment. I don't like that! I am not giving my readers the consideration I once did; that is to read their comments and write...

WOW! MY NEW HEALTH CARE WORKS
I found a new doctor in January. I was diagnosed with a new group of ailments but I have been getting excellent and I do mean excellent treatment. I have also learned a lot about the different conditions. In the few months treatment I am so much better it is unbelievable, particularly this last week. I had a bad case of shingles about five years ago. They are unbelievable. Having a baby is a cake walk compared to shingles. I didn't know until now that they will stay with you. I am receiving...

BACK TO SCHOOL WE GO HO HO HO!
Children in our area are heading off to school and college this weekend. Some single mothers are having a very hard time getting all the materials they need. Our state is having a tax vacation today and tomorrow on school supplies, clothes and many things associated with their getting them going again. That is a huge help. I wish we had tax free groceries in our state. I understand some states do have this. Our state at this moment is hurting from low revenues anyway. It takes a lot to get them...
