MAN IN ELECTRIC GROCERY CART OUT TO DO HARM

Well I got my Christmas something at Wal Mart today. George had gone to work and a friend gave me a ride to Wal Mart so I could shop and ride with George when he comes home for dinner. I was finished except for some sandwich buns. I was standing at the push end of my cart stretched up checking out what was available, when I was hit full force from the front of the buggy by a man in a motorized cart. It hit so hard it knocked me to the floor and I guess I lost consciousness f or a while seconds... Sign in to see full entry.

ONCE UPON A TIME

It just occurred to me today that everything is a Once Upon a Time when you get old. It is not because people don't like you or have time to visit anymore. You have told them everything you know and some you don't know for sure. Still some things are new. Have you ever read a chapter in the Bible you have read so many times and some little stone of beauty just pops out at you, one you have never seen before. Having been ill with whatever, that other thing and that painful stuff for more than 20... Sign in to see full entry.

SOON TO BE CELEBRATION DAY

THEY KNEW, THEY DID. Therefore the Lord Himself will give you a sign: Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a Son, and shall call His name Immanuel. Isaiah 7:14 NKJV As you can see in this prophesy by Isaiah, hundreds of years before Christ was born people knew of his coming. Of course His birth had been told and given in foreshadowing three or more thousands of years before it happened. Just as today people reject this because they cannot believe there can only be one God. His first... Sign in to see full entry.

I AM SO BLESSED

It is cool here but not teeth chattering cold as it looks some places. I see all those pile ups and think how blessed I am. I was borned down South and I think that makes a difference if it gets down to 30 detrees I am shaking like a leaf. George is even worse a Floridian by birth, 40 is his max low and on goes the toboggan in the house. Today is a good one for us. It is about 45 degrees right now and it is our thirty third wedding anniversary. I really lucked out here I got the best man on the... Sign in to see full entry.

WHY I CONCERN MYSELF WITH YOUR RELIGION!

Please excuse me for this interruption. I shall not say another word about yours or my religion if you forgive me for this. What do you have to lose if I am right. So here is my case. 1) You have not been dead. 2) You nor I can be sure there is Heaven or Hell but I do have great reason to believe there is. 3) It is my belief that the spirit is complete with feeling and knowing after the bodily death. 4) It is also my belief that death is only a separation of the body from the spirit. 5) After...

RAIN YOU ARE GOD'S DRINK

We have not had rain in months, we were 20 inches low and it is still late summer type of weather. Yesterday it rained. When I heard those beautiful rain drops I was sure Jesus was sprinkling all of us. It has been so long since we had actual water on the ground. I ran out to the yard and took down the Umbrella from the table. Oh let me rephrase that right now; at my age you do not run toward or from anything. Actually I hobbled out in the back yard weakly and messily wrestled down the umbrella.... Sign in to see full entry.

IT IS THANKSGIVING IN THE USA

Dear Blogit Friends, I know you are from many different places. Here in the States e will observe Thanksgiving tomorrow and I want to wish you a day of Thanksgiving wherever you may be. Be well, be happy, be prosperous, and be kind to one another in the name of Jesus. He is what I am so thankful for on any day. I don't know if my ancestors were at the first Thanksgiving I would like to think so. I don't know what year that was but I do know my people arrived in 1605. I am thankful for this place...

Donald said what????

Yes I heard what Donald Trump said. I have never pressed my ear to a men's dressing room but I am sure that is not so uncommon. Perhaps not such bragging as he did, but! Hear me out before you close this and send me to the trash pile with him. He is sexually and socially insecure. He brags and jumps back at any comment he thinks puts him in a bad light. That is why he is so boisterous he wants to impress other men. We did not impeach Bill Clinton when he was having sex with w omen everywhere,... Sign in to see full entry.

TELL ME IT IS NOT TRUE!

There seems to be no doubt that I am a pack rat, perhaps even close to being a hoarder. I have never seen so much stuff, I don't mean bad stuff just stuff, a crying shame. We worked a week in the garage and still are not through out there. I have worked another week in this house before the stuff goes into the garage and I am still not through. I haven't any idea why or where all this came from. I have not culled clothes in five years, which is something I ordinarily do yearly. But I don't look... Sign in to see full entry.

WHY DID I EVER KEEP ALL THIS?

I know why I kept all this I thought one day someone would want it. Things have changed, times have changed. My mother would be 115 if she were living now. I have so much of her furniture and many things of her mother's but today children are not so much into antiques, they want new, fashionable and shiny. Oh well! When I made the comment I thought I might find my grandparent's Christening gowns I was only kidding. however when my oldest was Christened he wore my daddy's gown. We were not...

THANK YOU

Oh I am so thankful to all of you for being loyal to me even though I have little or nothing to post. I am still deep in this house/garage cleaning. I am surprised I have not found one of my grandparent's christening gowns. I have found things I have not needed for years and years. I did not think of myself as a pack-rat. Oh well! I will not be writing much until i finish this; not that my writing is much anytime. I have been reading this morning and you guys have such interesting posts. Thank... Sign in to see full entry.

HI ANYBODY BORED AND WANT TO COME HELP A NEIGHBOR?

If any of you have emptied out 99% of your belongings in order to have a more flexible and convenient environment you know what we are doing. George took vacation days and we are cleaning the garage of all those things we thought we would want one day, you know. We are cleaning the house of all those things we no longer use, want or have room for and we are going to have a tremendous yard sale. Seven rooms and a garage of junk, hoping I can enjoy this house without striping over something I... Sign in to see full entry.

THERE IS NO FOOL LIKE AN OLD FOOL SO I HAD HEARD, NOW I KNOW.

Well I have done it now. I complained about the combined men/women bathroom situation until my throat was dry. I hate to go to public bathrooms anyway, but George and I were at Wally-World and I could not avoid the need. He was checking out an ink cartridge and told me where a better location than the front was and he would be there soon. I felt in a real hurry and when I got there just went in on the right and did my thing. There was no body in there until I came out. At the sink sto od an... Sign in to see full entry.

Surgery and Anger 20 years later ...THE END

George and I made up the next day and I began to try to be normal. It was not easy. It still is not easy. Three years later our fifteen year old business was faltering fast. Our best business was private label where we developed products for other companies to sell under their name. Most of them did their own packaging that was good and easy money; however, there was a catch. We used all total natural oils and my job was to blend them into a wonderful totally unlike from any other fragrance just... Sign in to see full entry.

Hospital Part III

I remembered nothing from that time until the next day. Early the next morning I awoke without all the trappings, padding and drugged feeling. "Hello Ms. M____, how would you like to go home?" said a nurse that I don't remember. I was still in a fog as to why I would be going home I did not remember having had surgery the night before. I felt my head and half my face and my head was covered in bandages and my face half of it. One eye was covered. I sat straight up and looked around me. I... Sign in to see full entry.

Part II Hospitalization

I don't know how many of you have gone into your own business on a shoe string and it began to grow faster than you had cash. You know what all you do without, hospitalization being one of them. We were healthy and thought we would get that later. I stayed the night in the hospital after telling them we had no insurance. I don't remember much of the night. My my daughter came and stayed the night with me. George had to be home that morning to open all the business operations. The next morning... Sign in to see full entry.

YOU DON'T ALWAYS KNOW WHAT THE NEXT MINUTE OF YOUR FUTURE IS

It was just that way today. Nothing was wrong but nothing was so right. Do you ever have days like that? I did make it to get out of bed with much angst. Today I have mostly gone over life in the past; in that fast lane, you know it. Back in the fast lane I hit the floor every morning gassed up and roaring out. My day was always strategized and usually very organized. The organization was the life and breath of the whole thing. The many many little accounts are what took up so much of the time....

LIFE or DEATH by Johna Moody (Justi)

Your Honer I can still see and smell the death in that room. But before I entered the room I heard one of them say "Ol Man where is the money? It is here we know that this is the address." As sure as I had known anything in my life, I knew they would kill my husband. I knew exactly where the shot gun and the pistol were. We are old and we keep them loaded and in the corner by the bed. The room was dark and this was taking place just outside my door. I took the time to slip on my robe picked up... Sign in to see full entry.

WHAT HAPPENED NEXT WAS NEVER IN ONE CELL OF MY BRAIN

Part 2 LIFE OR DEATH by: Johna Moody (justi) Three months I was in jail; had visits from my dear husband who felt guilty that I was there instead of him. Neither of us was guilty of anything except being alive and I was concerned that he would never get to believing that, not as long as I was in this jail cell. Tomorrow I go to court. I could not even think about it for it was still the most foreign movement I had ever witnessed. A good night’s sleep turns into two men dead. This is it. This is... Sign in to see full entry.
