FIVE STAR WEEKEND

Friday10 & Saturday11, AUGUST, 2012

GOT MY LIST, HEADING OUT OF TOWN! LEAVE TIME 1:00 PM FRIDAY.

HIT CORTEZ, J FARGO'S IT WAS GREAT.

WENT TO DURANGO! WOW, We had a wonderful weekend WE HAD a motel reservation for the CABOOSE MOTEL...........GOT OUR ROOM Great Motel. THEN WE WENT OUT TO EAT.

We went to the STEAMWORKS and had the CAJUN BOIL. It had the best Alaskan Crab Legs, Shrimp and Crawfish plus Corn on Cob and great Boiled Potatoes. The Andouie Sausage was a touch hot but that was the name of the game, Cajun. Then we had the Cream Cake(cream in the middle layer) with Cranberries and Blueberries in a fantastic sauce.

BACK TO THE CABOOSE! People I am here to tell you, considering it was not a name brand chain, we were not sure, what it was going to be like. But it was fabulous. And the bed was the best bed we had ever slept on. I went to bed, and slept like a baby all night. Slept 11 hours, did not wake up till 8:00. COURSE THE DINNER HELPED, IT WAS FANTASTIC.

Saturday morning, my husband said he tried to tip toe around so as not to wake me up. It was clean and loved every minute of it. We parked right in front of the room, so we did not have to carry luggage anywhere. If you're ever in Durango, remember the Caboose, better yet, reserve a room there for your trip to Durango.

We ate Breakfast at Carters Brewery. Had the Asian Breakfast. I had Scrambled Eggs over Salmon, with Brown Rice and Squashes, Onions, Bean Sprouts, Red Bell Peppers, plus Braggs Sauce.

NOW THIS WAS EXTRA SPECIALLY GREAT. IT WAS ALL SO VERY FRESH. THE SALMON WAS THE BEST. Best breakfast we had eaten ever.

We went to Honeyville, got a few BD and Christmas gifts ME I GOT TWO CINNAMON AND HONEY STICKS, THEY WERE 0.25 CENTS APIECE. LOVED THEM. ATE ONE, STILL GOT ONE TO EAT IN CAR.

Went to SKA Brewery to get a growler filled for a friend WHO WAS BABY SITTING TIVA OUR DOG!

Then went to the Health Food Store. We got Oat Grouts and Bulgher Wheat. Lots of it. My friend said Wheat is going out of sight because of drought so we had to get plenty of Bulghar Wheat, I love Taboli all Winter long. She also said corn & corn meal were going to be in short supply, but we already bought that.

We headed down 491 to FARMINGTON, to get belts and handkerchiefs at Dillards for Don. Then to Wallmart to pick up a few items., yarn for new baby blanket, my husband knits, I already sewed 7 towel sets. Lot's of new baby's this year. Even considering this was the Saturday before School Starts, and they were totally packed out, we had no problem shopping. Everyone was nice and considerate.

Ate dinner, AT THE 3 RIVERS BREWERY, SOME Fish and Chips and headed back to MF.

The electricity was out when we got there it was about 7:00.

Got everything put away, the electricity finally came on and my husband put on his SIRIUS MUSIC, RECORDED MUSIC, He loves, “She played Taborine,” and we enjoyed the rest of evening doing the rest of the little stuff(wash etc), with Music.

He watched some OLYMPICS and we went to bed.

IT WAS A 5 STAR WEEKEND! WE ENJOYED IT TREMENDOULSY JUST NICE TO BE BACK HOME. ALWAYS IS..........BUT I RECOMMEND ALL THE ABOVE IF YOUR EVER IN TOWN, CORTEZ, DURANGO AND FARMINGTON. Course I recommend a nice leisurely homecoming also, minus the electric outage. Sometime after working straight through a couple of weeks, a 2 day VACATION certainly comes in handy to just put you in the right mood, even if it's a short one. Consider this, we live in a town where you have to make lists or you forget things.

Sunday was a day of rest and relaxation, wrote emails to all my kids, like to keep a homey touch.

DON'T TAX THE INTERNET

DON’T TAX THE INTERNET

I was reading the news and there was an article that said, they were thinking about taxing the Internet shopping. I liked to have done a double flip.

Things have gotten so bad that they were thinking of ways to bring in more revenue and the Internet Shopping seemed like a cash cow. Now I have not seen any article on it since but I thought I would put my two cents worth in, before they really got serious about it and pass a law to do it.

They already passed a law that Taxes smokers to the point they have gone to over $5 dollars a pack just to support some of their lack of amenities the public wants. They tax liquor rigidly too. They call these Sin Taxes. That is A OK. People ought not be using these filthy habits right? Well, I always said, no one complains about these Taxes, cause the users ought to be ashamed of them right? Let um pay and pay out the Yahoo, if they want to smoke or drink. Well, I think they went too far on Taxing Sin. But that is just my opinion. One particular people, Sinners, ought not be penalized to give Government more money to Waste. But it went through and nobody yelled about that. But everybody will probably agree, lets go ahead and tax them to the nth degree, so smokers have to leave the Country or go TO THE INDIANS to get a decent price for their Sins. But I knew it would not stop there. GREED IS GREED, EVEN WHEN IT COMES TO TAXES. Let's just Tax people right out of their house and homes.

I figured sooner or later, they would finally get to the point if they Tax, Sin, then wait just a doggone minute, sooner or later; they would be 'Taxing Pleasure,' as well. But alas, they already 'Tax Pleasure ' don't they? Food is 'Pleasurable' and they sure Tax 'A Loaf of Bread,' till it is out of sight, and one has to MAKE homemade bread just to feed oneself and to escape the tentacles of the Tax on 'Eating'. Hey I can't wait till the day, they decide SEX IS BOTH PLEASURABLE AND A SIN and they will Tax you for every piece of pie you get.

Well, it is a Pleasure to shop on the Internet, cause the prices are so cheap. But oh no, The Taxer's haven’t got enough money, so they will figure out a way to outsmart the regular shoppers, and raise the prices on everything that one shops for on the Internet. They get you coming and they get you going. I will not and cannot stand by and not say my piece about Taxation.

People where is the Sin in Shopping on the Internet. When people get tired of paying $4.00 a gallon in gas, they shop on the Internet. It is cheaper and smarter to obtain things that otherwise would be out of their budget. I think people who shop on the Internet are smarter than your average bear, for they have finally found a way to save money. I think the INTERNET IS ABSOLUTELY ADORABLE! THE COMMON PERSON FINALLY HAS A SAY, EVEN IF IT'S ON THE SOCIAL SITES.

But if they put a 'Tax on Shopping, the Internet' the prices of everything will rise to an unreasonable amount and the people who do the Internet will have to charge more for their products. Which is then passed onto us. I really think the people with 'Thinkers,' have finally gone too far, in even 'Thinking,' about this particular Tax. Surely there will be a 'Storm of Protest.'

I don't even like to contemplate what kind of bite that would take out of our pocket books. Find another way to pay for Government Amenities, like Parks, Schools, Politicians Salaries, and Vacations to Vegas for Conferences for people who do not learn a cotton-picking thing. I for one think the 'Thought,' should just go the way of the Antiquities, and not ever be brought up again.

I for one cannot comprehend why anyone would even suggest 'Taxing Internet Shopping,' except for the fact that Stores are not making the money they used to thereby causing a 'Decrease in Taxes,' to be brought in. That is too bad. If the stores reduced the price of things one would not bypass them so readily. I love shopping, but I do not like being robbed.

That is what happened to the housing market. Too many people were becoming Millionaires over the overpriced houses, Real Estate Agents number one, till no one could afford to buy. Now they bawl about the 'fall.' Well, it strikes me that is the only thing that made any sense at all, the 'Fall of the Price of Houses.' People quit buying 'Overpriced Homes' and Walla, the fall.

Well the stores do the same thing. If they don't cut their prices people will not buy and Walla, the fall of the Stores. But the Internet does not Tax so it can give us reasonable prices, thereby insuring us we have a choice. I choose to buy off the Internet.

SO LEAVE THE INTERNET ALONE!

Love Nina

WELL, MAYBE NOT! I DO LOVE TO READ MY BIBLE AND I LOVE JESUS!

NOW BACK TO THE SUBJECT OF MARRIAGE!!!


NOW FIRST OF ALL, IF YOU LIVE WITH UM BEFORE MARRIAGE, YOU PROBABLY HAVE ALL KINDS OF REASONS WHY THIS IS SO. THIS IS NOT A SUBJECT I WILL BROACH, SO  DON'T COMMENT ON IT. NOT NOW ANYWAY! I WILL SAY IT IS PROBABLY SEXUAL IN NATURE! AND AS GOD PUTS IT, IT IS FORNICATION. SOMETIMES IT'S DOWNRIGHT ADULTERY(MIND COUNTS)TAKE IT UP WITH HIM.

"Has no one condemned you?”
   “No one, sir,” she said.
   “Then neither do I condemn you,” Jesus declared. “Go now and leave your life of sin.”

THE LAW CONDEMNS, CHRIST MAKES ALIVE.  
“I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.”
My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me. I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; no one will snatch them out of my hand. My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all; no one can snatch them out of my Father’s hand. I and the Father are one.”
FOLLOW HIM. 

-->

BEFORE YOU READ ON DOWN, I THOUGHT I WOULD GIVE YOU SOME CREDENTIALS TO ASCERTAIN WHY I AM EXPERT ENOUGH TO WRITE ON MARRIAGE. 

I HAVE  BEEN MARRIED 50 YEARS! OUR GOLDEN ANNIVERSARY WAS FEBRUARY 24, 1962.  THROUGH UPS AND DOWNS WE ARRIVED UNSCATHED! I THINK THAT IS CREDENTIALS ENOUGH FOR ANY ONE, IT'S CALLED EXPERIENCE....AND IT COUNTS!

First of all let me tell YOU what I believe about marriage. None of the gooey kinda of, 'I love you,' then 5 years down the line I don't love you no more. OR THE OLE, I SEX YOU 5 YEARS AGO, BUT I DON'T SEX YOU NO MORE!
How goofy can you get. You marry for sex, FOREVER. YOU HAVE ESTABLISHED A BLOOD COVENANT WITH EACH OTHER. THAT IS A PRETTY HEAVY COVENANT. Now you at least ought to agree with me on that. 'I GOT MARRIED IN A FEVER, HOTTER THAN A PEPPER SACK.' AT LEAST JOHNNY CASH, IS HONEST ABOUT IT. SEX IS NOT LOVE, LOVE IS NOT SEX.  THERE  MAY BE SOME CROSSOVERS OCCASIONALLY, BUT SOON YOU WILL BE ABLE TO DIFFERENTIATE BETWEEN THEM.

LOVE WILL GROW GIVEN THE RIGHT FOUNDATION and one never knows when this happens, the right foundation that is, but one has TO BUILD ON IT, or it will waste away. LOVE HAS CHRISTLIKE OVER-TONES. IF NEITHER ONE OF YOU ARE CHRISTIANS, YOU'LL NEVER KNOW LOVE ONLY IN IT'S EARTHLY ELEMENTS. SO GO AHEAD AND SEX IT UP. YOUR LOST ANYWAY. YOU NEED JESUS. 
LOVE DOES NOT DEMAND IT'S OWN WAY..... uh-o, lets me out.....LOVE NEVER FAILS! uh-o I have double dipped sometimes,  LOVE IS STRONGER THAN DEATH! I should laugh at funerals, CRY AT BIRTHS(THEY FACE PAIN TO COME IN AN IMPERFECT WORLD) but I HAVE been known to cry AT FUNERALS, even when I know I will see them again GOD TELL'S US THAT(.Yet He, the power of life itself incarnated before her eyes, wept at Lazarus’s tomb. Verse 35 shows Jesus again as the fully divine Son of God still being fully human. He is the embodiment of the intersection between heaven and earth. This verse is crucial to understand His delay in coming. God’s ways may be mysterious, but He does not play games with us merely to prove a point. His triumph does not remove real pain. However much we deserve it, death is a terrible price to pay, and God knows it. Jesus wept)........EXCERPT FROM MY MOODY DEVOTIONAL.
HOW MANY PEOPLE EXHIBIT THESE TRAITS!  Read 1 & 11 Corinthians, it will tell you what Love is and it is not sex.  IT WILL TELL YOU WHAT GOD IS ALSO.
If you say your in Love, but don't exhibit some of these traits, then it is not so. WHY NOT TELL THE TRUTH. SOME PEOPLE ARE REALLY really LUCKY ENOUGH TO HAVE, “LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT.” This is marvelous, keep it up. Prove “LOVE IN THE PRESENT EXISTS TOO.” And also prove “LOVE AT LAST SIGHT,” exists also. 
But I figure you prayed for this individual IF YOU'RE A CHRISTIAN.THEN YOU DO HAVE BRAGGING RIGHTS! AS LONG AS GOD GIVES UM TO YOU, THAT IS. BUT I REALLY BELIEVE HE'LL TURN IT AWAY FROM YOU, AND POINT TO HIS SON WHO EXEMPLIFIED ALL THESE TRAITS. I AIN'T SAYING IT'S IMPOSSIBLE TO BE IN LOVE, BUT COMPARED TO CHRIST, YOU'LL FALL SHORT BUT I BELIEVE YOU CAN LOVE WITH GOD'S HELP, THAT IS. AND YOU CAN ACHIEVE IT, and satisfy maybe one or two of these traits. I am saying you better not be found bragging about it, if I were you. Just be happy God has given you a taste of Heaven. And thank him for it.

I SAY ALL THAT TO SAY THIS, SEX is a good reason to get married. Then you forsake all others, which is what God wants to begin with and get it from your marriage partner. SOME EVEN SAY WELL, I DON'T SEX UM ANYMORE...NOW THAT IS A REAL LIE. SEX ALL OF A SUDDEN DID NOT CEASE TO BE ON YOUR AGENDA. IT IS ALIVE AND WELL, TO COME OUT IN SOME MANNER OR OTHER, it will show up at odd times and places, and you will all of a sudden say, Why I think I love this NEW guy or girl, look at all the things that were wrong with my last partner. No what is usually wrong, is not with your last partner, IT IS WITH YOU. God's speaking to you. Why, you ask, "cause your the one listening to him."
WHAT YOU ARE SAYING IS, I AIN'T GIVING SEX, AND HE AIN'T GIVING SEX.

SAD THING!!!

OK. I can buy that. If you do not want TO follow the Christian Precept on Marriage, then I ain't there at every nook and cranny to see that you do follow it.

Your body doesn't belong to you, it belongs to your husband!

The husband's body don't belong to him it belongs to you!

Neither one of you can SAY NO to each other if the other wants sex!

If you do you open up your marriage to Satin's Wiles. And he is a wily one!

Now, NO IS A HORRIBLE WORD TO HEAR, WHEN YOU NEED SEX.

IT CUTS US TO THE BONE EMOTIONALLY. SO IF YOU DON'T WANT IT DONE TO YOU, DON'T DO IT TO YOUR MATE. 

SO, YES, I DO HEAR YOU,  WHEN YOUR LIFE IS TORN UP WITH STRIFE AND SEX HAS GONE DORMANT. IT HAPPENS! TURN IT ALL OVER TO GOD, WHEN YOU CAN'T SEE NO WAY OUT, GOD WILL FIND YOU A WAY OUT, EVEN IF IT'S JUST MORE OF HIM! THAT IS WHEN ONE PICKS UP THE PIECES, AND LOOKS TO THE FUTURE WITH GOD AS YOUR GUIDE.

NO WONDER WE HAVE A 50% RATE OF CHILDREN BORN OUTSIDE OF WEDLOCK. WHERE IS THEIR EXAMPLES?

YOU KNOW I CAN UNDERSTAND WHY PEOPLE DO NOT WANT TO GET MARRIED. THEY GOT SOME PRETTY BAD EXAMPLES THEY HAVE SEEN, EITHER FRIENDS, FAMILY, OR THEMSELVES.

SOMEWHERE IN ALL THIS IF GOD, IS PUT IN HIS RIGHT PLACE, YOU WILL BE ABLE TO FOLLOW HIS PRECEPTS ON THE REST OF THE STUFF AS WELL.

NOW THE ABOVE IS THE FOUNDATION ON WHICH I BASE THIS TREATISE.

 
WHY I LET MY HUSBAND DO WHAT HE WANTS TO DO!

LISTEN PEOPLE:
1.  DON FIXES BREAKFAST!

2.  DON DOES THE DISHES BEFORE HE GOES TO WORK!

3.  DON DOES DISHES AFTER A PARTY AND CLEARS THE TABLE AND PUTS 
THE FOOD AWAY!

4.  DON MOPS FLOOR WITH MOP & GLO!
5.  DON VACUUMS LIVING ROOM AND DINING ROOM FLOORS!
6.  DON TAKES OUT THE TRASH!

7.  DON CUTS GRASS FRONT& BACK!

8.  DON PLANTS VEGGIES TO EAT! 

9.  DON MOVES FURNITURE!

10. DON WASHES THE CARS!

11. DON LOADS UP THE TRAVEL TRAILER AND CAR FOR A TRIP!
12. DON UNLOADS ALL THE ABOVE IN WHATEVER STATE WE ARE IN!
13. DON BRINGS IN ALL THE ITEMS THAT WE BUY OUT  OF TOWN!

14. DON PLANTS TREES!
15. DON TAKES  CARE OF HIS ROSES!

16. JUST A NOTE TO SAY:
17. DON TRIES TO HELP THE KIDS WITH THEIR TO DO LIST!
18. DON HELPS WITH SEWING, PINNING ALL PATTERNS, CUTTING ALL PATTERNS, TURNS TINY STRAPS WITH A SAFETY  PIN, WHATEVER IT TAKES TO GET FINISHED PRODUCT! 


19. DON DOES ALL THE PAPER WORK!

20. WHATEVER THE JOB IS:
21.  DON WILL DO IT!
22.  DON KNITS BABY BLANKETS WHILE WATCHING NCIS!      
23. DON PLAYS WITH ALL GRAND KIDS WHEN HE GETS THE CHANCE TO GET TO TEXAS.
24. DON FEEDS & BRUSHES TIVA OUR DOG!

25. DON DON'T LIKE "UN-BUSY!"
26. DON LOVES TO SEX ME UP, AS I ALSO DO HIM. MOSTLY IT'S PLAY...................... BUT AT OUR AGE THAT GETS TO BE WORK SOMETIMES................................ 


NOW WHEN DON WANTS, A “BEER,” OR TWO OR THREE, HERE AT THE HOUSE OR WITH HIS FRIEND Z AT HIS HOUSE, IT WOULD BE VERY TACKY OF ME TO SAY, “NO." "OH I'VE DONE IT BEFORE BUT I IMMEDIATELY FELT RATHER BAD AND SAW WHAT I HAD DONE. HEY, I'M HUMAN! BUT REMEMBER THIS, IT AIN'T RIGHT TO BE ORDERING A MAN AROUND, TRY PLEASE!
  BUT HE ALSO KNOWS WHEN NOT TO DRINK A BEER, IF A MAN OR WOMAN CAN'T HAVE ONE, THEN HE IS OK WITH THAT, AND DOES NOT DRINK AROUND THEM. HE IS A REAL KIND MAN, HE RESPECTS THEIR DECISIONS, EMOTIONS. HE IS ONE WHO THINKS  OF OTHER PEOPLE'S FEELINGS.

IN FACT, IF DON ASKED FOR ANYTHING, HE SHOULD GET IT, DON'T YOU AGREE. I FOR  ONE THINK HE IS TRYING TO MAKE IT EASIER ON ME WHILE I SEW AND WRITE. SO I HAVE NOTHING, BUT ACCOLADES, FOR THE MAN, AND "NO," IS NOT IN MY VOCABULARY, SO HIS EARS CAN HEAR IT.
BESIDES, HE KNOWS MORE THAN I DO ABOUT OUR FINANCIAL SITUATION, AND IF HE DECIDES SOMETHING LIKE HE HAS TO WORK ON WEEKENDS, I SHOULD BOW TO HIS SUPERIOR KNOWLEDGE. ALSO WHEN WE RETIRE! THAT'S A CALL HE SHOULD MAKE NOT ME! COURSE I DO PUT MY 2 CENTS WORTH IN!

DO YOU SEE WHAT I AM SAYING! I REALLY DO NOT HAVE THE RIGHT TO TELL THE MAN, WHAT HE CAN AND CANNOT DO, WITHIN THE CONFINES OF THIS MARRIAGE. I HAVE MET WOMEN THAT ACT LIKE THEY OWN THE GIRL OR GUY. HEY MAN, NO SLAVERY, REMEMBER!!!

AFTER ALL, A MARRIAGE SHOULD NOT BE A PLACE WHERE, YOU HAVE A JUDGE AND A JURY ON YOUR TAIL AT ALL TIMES. A MARRIAGE IS NOT A PLACE OF MISERY, WHERE ANOTHER CAN VENT ALL THEIR FURY ON THE SAID INDIVIDUALS. A MARRIAGE IS NOT A PLACE TO BE BOSSY. NOT UNLESS YOU GET PAID FOR IT, I THINK .

A MARRIAGE IS NOT A HOT BED FOR JEALOUSY. GET OUT OF IT, IF YOU CAN'T CONTROL YOUR JEALOUSY. YOUR CERTAINLY NOT PRACTICING FORGIVENESS, THEREBY ENSURING YOU WON'T BE FORGIVEN BY JESUS EITHER . YOUR ALREADY IN HOT WATER, WHAT'S A LITTLE, LEAVING ON A RECORD OF THAT MAGNITUDE. OR IF YOU CAN'T GET OUT OF IT, AS LEAST GET IT RIGHT. GODLY RIGHT.

THERE IS NOTHING MORE DAMAGING TO A MARRIAGE THAN UNBRIDLED JEALOUSY, PLUS IT KEEPS FRIENDS FROM BEING COMFORTABLE WHEN THEY VISIT, IF ONE EXHIBITS THE SIGNS OF JEALOUSY AGAINST THEM. THE MAN OR WOMAN CAN NEVER WIN! NEVER CAN YOU PROVE IT, BUT YOU CAN MAKE EVERYBODY INVOLVED IN IT, MISERABLE. ACTUALLY, THERE IS SOMETHING YOU CAN DO IF YOU'RE THE JEALOUS TYPE, YOU CAN IMPROVE YOURSELF, THEREBY GIVING YOU MORE CONFIDENCE IN DEALING WITH THE DAYS NEEDS.

BUT PLEASE LEAVE THE JEALOUSY TO GOD! HE CAN HANDLE IT. I'M SPEAKING FROM EXPERIENCE, MY FRIEND. YOU'LL OPEN A CAN OF WORMS IF YOU DON'T LET THE HOT THING GO!
JUST DON'T DO IT. BITE YOUR TONGUE !

THE MAN LIKES TO BE AROUND HIS FAMILY AND YOU DO TOO. I CERTAINLY DO NOT HAVE THE RIGHT TO APPROVE OR DISAPPROVE OF THEM. A MAN CAN'T CHOOSE HIS RELATIVES. HIS FRIENDS YES, NOT HIS BROS OR SIS. Do not cause conflict by conflicting about your relatives. Hey man, yours or mine, ain't pots of gold, but neither are they clay pots. It's all up to the POTTER TO MAKE A MAN OR WOMAN, WHAT THEY SHOULD BE. We really should stay out of it. IT'S MORE HONEST THAT WAY! WHY YOU ASK? BECAUSE WE DON'T SEE ALL FACETS OF OUR RELATIVES THAT IS WHY.

 TRY TO KEEP YOUR MARRIAGE A HAPPY ONE. STRIFE DOWN TO A MINIMUM.

GOD HATES A MAN OR WOMAN WHO CAUSES STRIFE AMONGST HIS BRETHREN. THIS IS A NO, NO. SO NEXT TIME YOU WANT TO TELL A MATE WHAT SOMEONE DID TO YOU, FORGET IT RIGHT THEN AND THERE. GO WITH GOD ON THIS ONE. DON'T ADD TO STRIFE AMONGST BROTHERS AND SISTERS. FAMILY REUNIONS WITH ALWAYS BE UNITS OF PEACE THEN.

MOST OF ALL, DON'T STRIVE WITH YOUR MATE. LIVE IN PEACE. GOD CAME TO BRING US PEACE, SO WHY NOT TAKE IT. MAKE YOUR HOUSE A LITTLE HEAVEN ON EARTH AND YOUR MATE WILL BE HAPPY TO COME HOME TO IT.

COUNTRIES STRIVE, CHURCHES STRIVE, SCHOOLS STRIVE, BUSINESS'S STRIVE, DON'T ADD TO IT. WHEN YOU COME HOME, LEAVE THE STRIFE, WHERE IT BELONGS, OUTSIDE YOUR 4 WALLS, AND BE A LOVING AGENT OF GOD. I THINK HE'S PROBABLY GOT PLENTY OF THE OTHER KIND, WHO CALL THEMSELVES CHRISTIANS AND ARE NOT. REMEMBER GOD IS LOVE!, NOW THAT AIN'T HARD TO EMULATE. BE GOD LIKE AND YOU'LL FIND YOURSELF A HAPPY CREATURE.

NO GOD DON'T ALLOW DON TO GET ANOTHER WOMAN. WHY YOU ASK. BECAUSE DON DIDN'T SEEK ONE FOR HIMSELF AND DON DIDN'T ASK FOR ONE FROM GOD, HE'S PERFECTLY SATISFIED WITH ME, I KNOW! REMEMBER DAVID AND BATHSHEBA, GOD WAS RATHER MAD, AT DAVID. HE HAD WIVES YOU KNOW, BUT HE PICKED ONE ALL BY HIMSELF. THEN GOD said to him, WHY DID YOU DO THAT? IF YOU'D ASK ME I WOULDA GIVEN YOU ONE. SEE! HE SIMPLY WON'T STEAL OR KILL TO GET YOU A WIFE, YES I AM AWARE OF ABIGAIL, BUT THAT GUY was very mean to David, he did die, and David took Abigail as his wife because she was a peacemaker, AND KNEW WHAT HER HUSBAND DID TO DAVID WAS WRONG. AND DAVID GOT HIS WIFE. BUT STILL DAVID DID'NT PICK HER, GOD DID IT.

SEE WHAT IS GOING ON HERE. BETTER NOT BE FOUND PICKING THEM FOR YOURSELF. LET GOD DO IT IF YOUR REALLY SERIOUS ABOUT A CHANGE FOR SOME REASON OR OTHER! HE WASN'T OPPOSED TO GIVING DAVID ANOTHER WIFE, HE WAS OPPOSED TO DAVID'S GOING HIS OWN WAY WITHOUT CONSULTING HIM. 
 AND IF YOU'VE LOST A MATE, MY DEEPEST CONDOLENCES. THAT IS A HARD ROW TO HOE, MAY GOD BE YOKED WITH YOU EVERY STEP OF THE WAY. THAT IS MORE THAN MY MIND CAN HANDLE.  I DO NOT GIVE MY OPINION, BUT TO A VERY FEW PEOPLE,  ON TRAGEDIES. I AM SURE A "PREACHER BOY,"  CAN AND WILL HELP YOU. BUT MAYBE THIS WILL HELP, ON THE PICK OF THE NEXT ONE. BUT BY ALL MEANS, ASK GOD'S ADVISE. AND IF GOD WANTS IT TO HAPPEN, THEN WHO CAN BE FOUND FIGHTING GOD!


BACK TO NORMAL SITUATIONS:

BUT UNDERSTAND THIS, HE CAN ALSO NOT GIVE YOU ANOTHER WIFE IF FOR SOME REASON OR OTHER, YOU CAN'T STAND THE ONE YOU GOT. ALSO HE CAN GIVE YOUR WIFE ANOTHER HUSBAND IF YOU DON'T' FLY RIGHT. AND THAT WILL LEAVE YOU (MR OR MRS,) DOWNRIGHT LONELY! UNLESS, ONE DESIRES ANOTHER, IN THAT CASE GOD WILL INTERVENE. SOUNDS! LIKE AN UN-HOLY MESS!  AND ONLY GOD CAN CLEAN UP UN-HOLY MESSES.

 SO WHY NOT JUST BE CONTENT WITH WHAT GOD HAS DONE FOR YOU. BOTH OF YOU! HE HATES GRUMBLING ALSO, HE OPENED THE EARTH AND SWALLOWED UP THE GRUMBLERS. I THINK GOD LIKES CONTENTMENT!

BUT SOMETIMES HE JUST GETS TIRED OF SIN! AND HE GETS HIS CUP FULL, THEN HE REACTS. MAKING THE SIN UNTO DEATH,

AFTER ALL HE IS SOVEREIGN, AND CALLS EVERY SHOT.

DO BE SO CAREFUL WHAT YOU WISH FOR...GOD  IS MYSTERIOUS! AND DOWNRIGHT WIERD SOMETIMES.

!!!!!!!!!!!! OUR GOD IS A JEALOUS GOD!!!!!!!!!

THAT STANDS TRUE ON ALL THINGS! BETTER PRAY FIRST! THEN IF YOU GET IT, YOU'LL KNOW GOD DID IT. 

I DID NOT SAY HOW YOU'D GET IT, I DID SAY, ASK AND YOU SHALL receive!

New Years Eve Resolutions

    I did not make any New Years Resolutions. It is not to be for me. I BELIEVE, EVERYDAY IS A NEW MOMENT AND A NEW DAY AND A NEW YEAR. JUST BELIEVE IT IS AND THAT WILL MAKE IT SO.

    No amount of wishing we were like someone else will make it possible to be someone else. We are who we are. IF WE HAVE BAD HABITS, THEN SO BE IT. IF WE WISH TO QUIT ANY BAD HABIT, WE CAN, ANYTIME, ANYPLACE ANYWHERE. BUT NOT ONCE A YEAR AT MIDNIGHT. THAT IS NOT THE TIME, NOR PLACE, TO SAY, WE WILL IMPROVE OURSELVES. For the mood of the moment is not strong enough to carry a desire for improvement for any length of time.

    We must be committed to improving ourselves in a positive way. One that does not entail, giving something up. We must begin to like ourselves just like we are, period. That is the hardest thing people will ever face. Liking ourselves, and thinking positive things, bout us, who we are and what we will become someday, if we but begin to clothe ourselves with goodness, mercy and forgiveness. Look in the mirror, if you see, you as bad traits, or bad habits, you will never succeed to change yourself for the better. YOU WILL ONLY SEE BAD! DON’T LET THE DEVIL OR ANYONE ELSE FOR THAT MATTER, SUCCEED IN MAKING YOU BAD, OR YOU WILL COMMIT  THE BAD and also what other people consider bad for you..

NEGATIVE IS SO MUCH MORE POWERFUL THAN POSITIVE, THAT IS EVIDENCED BY,

'ONE AWE SHIT,’ WHIPS OUT 'TEN ATTA BOYS'. TRY I T, IF YOU DON’T BELIEVE ME.. NEXT TIME YOU DO 10 GOOD THINGS, TO YOUR WIFE OR HUSBAND OR FRIEND OR CHILDREN AND THEN YOU DO ONE BAD THING. PEOPLE WILL AUTOMATICALLY LOOK AT THE BAD, NOT THE TEN GOODS AND THEY WILL TELL YOU IN NO UNCERTAIN TERMS, YOU BETTER NOT DO THAT THING AGAIN, OR I WILL LEAVE YOU!
NEVER REMEMBERING ALL THE GOOD YOU DID!!!!YOU KNOW  IF  PEOPLE WOULD TELL THE ONE BAD, THE TEN GOOD, TO THE JUDGE, WHILE TRYING TO GET A DIVORCE FROM, 'SAID INDIVIDUAL,' INSTEAD OF HOWLING IRRECONCILABLE DIFFERENCES, THE JUDGE WOULD JUST LAUGH AT YOU AND SAY, NO WAY, GO HOME AND WORK IT OUT. DON'T YOU SEE WHAT YOU'RE DOING? YOUR FOLLOWING YOUR LUSTS NOT THE PERSON YOUR LEAVINGS LUST. EVEN GOD SAYS WHEN WE SIN WE ARE NOT TEMPTED BY HIM, BUT WE FOLLOW OUR OWN LUSTS! NOW GO TO BED WITH THAT AND THINK ABOUT THAT FOR LONG AND HARD MOMENTS IN TIME, AND WE WILL NOT BE SO SWIFT TO IDENTIFY ANOTHER'S  WEAKNESES.   WE MIGHT EVEN END UP A BETTER AND BRIGHTER PERSON BECAUSE OF THIS. AND WORK ON OUR VERY OWN WEAKNESSES.

WELL THEY WILL CERTAINLY GIVE YOU A TONGUE LASHING, FOR SURE.

    WHAT I AM TRYING TO SAY, IS DO NOT LET NEW YEARS EVE RESOLUTIONS
BE THE CRITERIA FOR IMPROVING YOURSELF. IT WON’T WORK. DO TAKE THE 364 OTHER DAYS AND SAY, YOU KNOW TODAY I MIGHT JUST SUCCEED, IF I REALLY WANT TO. THAT IS THE KEY!   

    REALLY WANTING TO!

    WHAT YOU WANT TO DO, YOU USUALLY COMMIT.

    BUT DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE DO AN IMPROVEMENT BECAUSE SOMEONE ELSE DON’T LIKE WHO YOU ARE, OR WHAT YOU DO OR WHAT YOU SAY, ANY CHANGE UNDER THIS PICTURE SIMPLY WON’T LAST..

PEOPLE I KNOW!  Believe me! Not all improvement is good for you. Sometimes it turns out to be downright bad for you.! ONCE MY DOCTOR SAID years ago, "QUIT SMOKING." Well I did, everybody wanted it to happen. They thought I'd get healthy!!!And please the world to boot!

Then my weight ran rapid, 40 lbs rabidly, for that matter. It took me five years to get that rise in weight down to a livable level. And who knows what that is? To make a long story turn short, it went down SOUTH.

My Cholesterol ran up to the ceiling. all the way up to NIAGRA FALLS. So I had to go on Lipitor to bring my cholesterol down(till the side effect shot pain up and down my leg and my hip joint) then I went on PAIN PILLS FOR MY HIP, HORRID PAIN IN JOINT AND UP AND DOWN THE LEG. I THOUGHT I WAS HAVING A STOKE CAUSED BY A BLOOD CLOT THAT HAD WORKED IT'S WAY LOOSE AND UP MY LEG AND HIP...... I TOLD DR. she said that  happens to some people. SHE GAVE ME PAIN PILLS AND PUT ME ON Lovastatin, then I just quit taking them altogether, MY CHOLDESTEROL COULD JUST ZOOM FOR ALL I CARED....CAUSE THE PAIN WENT AWAY. I DID NOTE I DID NOT WANT THE SIDE EFFECTS, THAT WENT ALONG WITH IT---I had to take pain pills to stop that in order to sleep----, when I quit the LIPITOR AND Lovastain, the pain stopped, no more pain pills to sleep.I decided I'd live with HIGH CHOLESTEROL. BESIDES THE PAIN PILLS WERE WORLD RENOWN FOR MESSING WITH THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM OF THE HEART, BUT MAN THEY DID TAKE THAT RUMBLING PAIN AWAY, WHEN I WENT TO BED, NERVE ENDINGS BECAME EXTRA SENSITIVE WHEN YOU GET OFF THE JOINT, AND BOY DID THEY HOWL, HOWL, HOWL...THOSE PAIN MEDS WERE SOON TAKEN OFF THE MARKET BECAUSE THE ELDERLY WERE DOUBLING UP ON THEM, FORGETTING THEY HAD ALREADY TAKEN ONE, AND THAT WAS A NO, NO. YOU  SEE, THERE AIN'T NO SUCH THING AS A

 "no side effect drug.'

Mainly I would suggest just not gaining weight or getting rid of it, and maybe the cholesterol will go to sleep and forget to go up.....BUT ALAS DON'T WE ALL LOVE TO EAT.....I THINK I'M PREACHING TO THE CHOIR.....

And my blood pressure shot out of sight.DOWN UNDER TO AUSTRALIA.. 
I also had to go on Atenol to get my Blood Pressure back to normal. Now it sometimes gets so low, I have to quit that. But if  my Blood Pressure rises I will go back on it. .

I SAY ALL THAT, TO SAY THIS!!! I went back to smoking. After all that seemed to me the lesser of 4 evils. NOW I SAY ALL THAT, TO SAY THIS, PICK YOUR BATTLES. JUST DON'T BELIEVE EVERY TOM, DICK AND HARRY JUST BECAUSE THEY HAVE A PH'D AFTER THEIR NAME. THINK FOR YOURSELF. KNOW YOURSELF. I KNEW I WAS GOING TO OVEREAT, I JUST DIDN'T REALIZE WHAT KIND OF PROBLEMS THAT WOULD CAUSE ME. I HAVE ONE OF THOSE DEPENDENT PERSONALITIES. I LIKE FOOD! CHANGE DON'T COME EASY TO ME. BUT IT DOES COME. AND WHEN IT COMES IT WILL BE GOOD FOR ME! IT WILL NOT BRING A BUNCH OF NEGATIVES TO WALLOW in and write about.

AND I HAVE DISCOVERED, THAT PEOPLE WHO DON'T LIKE ME AS I AM, WON'T LIKE ME ANY BETTER IF I GIVE SOMETHING UP FOR THEM. WHY, YOU ASK?

BECAUSE THEY DON'T LIKE ME PERIOD. DON'T LIVE YOUR LIFE TRYING TO PLEASE PEOPLE WHO DON'T LIKE YOU PERIOD, OR YOU'LL GET ALL SCREWED UP IN YOUR MIND WHEN THEY TURN ON YOU, AND YOU WILL END UP WORSE NOT BETTER!, MENTALLY!                      

    IF YOU REALLY WANT TO CHANGE, FIND THAT MIRROR AND SAY, I LOVE ME, BECAUSE THE CREATOR OF THE UNIVERSE LOVES YOU. AND FOR GOODNESS SAKE MAKE SURE THE CHANGE DOES YOU HONOR! NOT FOR SOMEONE ELSE'S SAKE BUT FOR YOUR SAKE. DON'T END UP NO DORK LIKE ME, I REALLY FEEL STUPID ABOUT THE CHANGE I ATTEMPTED TO MAKE FOR OTHERS SAKE.

    THE ONE VERSE, THAT MOST PEOPLE LEARN EARLY ON AND SOON FORGET, IS

; “for God so loved the World that He gave, His only begotton son, that whosoever believes in him, SHALL NOT PERISH, BUT HAVE EVERLASTING LIFE."

 God is LOVE, GOD LOVES YOU. WOULDN’T IT BEHOOVE YOU TO BELIEVE GOD SEES SOMETHING IN YOU, THAT OTHERS CANNOT SEE. GOD SEES HIS SON IN YOU! LET THE HOLY SPIRIT BE IN CHARGE OF CHANGING YOU, GOD HIMSELF,. and Success will be sweet to you.

QUIT TRYING TO CHANGE YOURSELF TO SUIT OTHERS, IT WON’T WORK. For you could end up far worse than you ever anticipated. Just because you change, it don't spell success. You could be like me and end up with more problems than Carter's got oats.

AND IF YOU DO NOT CHANGE, WELL GUESS WHAT? I WILL LOVE YOU FOREVER JUST LIKE YOU ARE. YOU DON'T HAVE TO CHANGE TO SUIT ME. I THINK YOUR PERFECT JUST LIKE YOU ARE. 

AND REMEMBER---KEEP ON SAYING, "I LOVE YOU" WHEN YOU LOOK IN THE MIRROR 
EVENTUALLY YOU WILL COME TO BELIEVE IT.  AFTER ALL GOD LOVES YOU, UNCONDITIONALLY! TALK TO HIM ABOUT IT!
HE AIN'T NEVER BEEN KNOWN FOR A SHORTAGE OF WORDS!

What Christmas Means To Me

    He that dwelleth in God, and God in him — 1Jo_4:16

    Recently I was trying to tell a friend who had moved away, who had not told me Goodbye, not to worry about it all. For Love never has to say Goodbye. Cause we will always see each someday in Heaven. That Love is stronger than death and I would love him regardless of the issues between us, simply because as a brother in the Lord, I had already forgiven him and simply wanted him to know I love him, his girls and his wife. I’m not sure that I got my point across. It is so hard to explain LOVE.  It is so easy to live the path it takes one down. EVERYDAY IS CHRISTMAS WITH LOVE the Story’s not old.
    God is Love. Jesus is Love. The Holy Spirit is Love. Jesus went about doing good because Jesus loved people. For God so love the World he sent Jesus to help us. We had been living under the Law that demanded an eye for and eye, and a tooth for a tooth, fear based, and here comes Jesus on the scene bringing Love from HEAVEN, to explain the kind of love they lived in his home. There he was taught what Love looks like in Action. At 33 he wanted the World to know this kind of Love. The Kind of Love he walked and had his being in, which was God himself.
    The Golden Rule to Love our neighbor as our self, is an out cropping of the Love he knew God was. They 3, not only were Love, they did not only talk about Love, they acted upon it’s attributes.
     Now no one can act like, they love their neighbor, without the Holy Spirit influencing us to do so.Now the two representatives on Earth can point us to a God who not only acts like love but is LOVE HIMSELF. YES HE IS EVERYWHERE, NO TEMPLE CAN CONTAIN HIM, NO RELIGION CAN DEFINE HIM!
    One cannot fake Love, that is why Jesus was so controversial. He turned the world upside down with his teachings. And anyone that met Jesus was never the same. Jesus could read them inside and  out. He knew what they were thinking by the questions they were asking. They constantly tried to trick him, but no one was ever capable of doing so. He just walked away from the midst of his enemies. He knew he was going to the cross, for that was what he was sent down here to do. He knew alls people needed a savior. He knew he was it. HE DID NOT VEER FROM HIS CROSS. And neither should you. Look what they did to your Master, they’ll do worse to you. “If they did this to a green tree, what do you think the fate of a dry one will be?” You answer that question the next time you are growling about how people treat you. You should not be surprised, but true to Love’s form. LET IT BE, SO.
Love is a healer people/Love is a provider/Love is our righteousness/Love is our peace. Don’t you get the message. Start with your home, for a piece of Heaven on Earth. Let Jesus reign supreme with people who are closest to you. Go the extra mile. DO THINGS not because you were made to, but because you want to. Volunteer for tasks no one else wants to do. This is Love in Action to your Father, Mother, Sister and Brother. One person can bring Love into a Home, a Town, a Country! LOVE WILL NOT FAIL.
     People IF you want God in your life He will come to you. He said, “when you seek me with all your heart then you will find me”

He won’t turn anyone down. But he does not want no second-hand Love.
He wants to be first. He is easy to find. You walk in him, you have your being in him......
Please do not miss the one who really LOVES YOU!

GOD HIMSELF via Jesus

Remember what the Angels sang Christmas Morn, GOD IN US!
I’ve been given the Best Gift by God himself.
All the rest of them are “Icing on the Cake.

Angels

Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation?- Heb_1:14      
Every believer is surrounded by an innumerable amount of Angels. They minister to us. May each one of you come in contact with them, today or tomorrow or better yet when you need them in your life.
    In whatever capacity we need, we can feel them, whenever we need them. Sometimes I think they help us even when we don’t understand the need of them. They just appear and help us out of a bad situation and go their way.   

One day I was driving home, and we lived on a rather hilly highway.  There was a car stopped in the valley of the hill. I had two choices. I could crash the car, or I could try to pass at full blast which is what I chose.  I looked first at the people in my car. My Mother was one of then and my kids also. These precious ones God had put under my care. AND I HAD BLOWN IT. I WAS SPEEDING BECAUSE IT WAS RAINING, TRYING TO GET HOME  FAST.  Now understand I would never try to pass on this hill-hail-sleet-snow OR rain, cause it was a blind one, you could not see what was on the other side.    In the middle of my passing, trying to stop an obvious wreck, here came a car over the hill. I KNEW I HAD TO PICK UP SPEED SO, I picked up speed and barely missed that car. We would all have died hitting at that speed, I am certain of that. God did not want that happening, right then. I was sure shaking, when we got safe. Guess It was Adrenalin shock. But I really feel I heard A SWISHING AND A WINNOWING OF  ANGELS WINGS who were sent to us boldly, sent to us for sure, to protect us from dashing our family's foot against a stone. It was so close only an Angel or company thereof could have rescued us at the moment in time. NOW I SAY, NOT ALL WRECKS NEED AN ANGEL OR COMPANY OF ANGELS, BUT  IF YOU CONSIDER AN ANGEL AS SOMEONE WHO IS JOHNNY ON THE SPOT TO HELP YOU, THEN THAT QUALIFIES A WHOLE LOT OF  PEOPLE, POLICE, EMT'S, FIRST RESPONDERS. FIREMEN,WHO ARE TAKING ORDERS FROM GOD AND DON'T KNOW IT. AND IF YOU JUST CONSIDER ANGELS AS BEING UNAWARES THEN THEY CAN HELP YOU AND YOU DON'T KNOW IT IS HAPPENING....ANGELS ARE  SPIRIT BEINGS WITHOUT FORM, UNLESS THEY TAKE  FORM.
THEY DO NOT HAVE TO GET ANY GLORY. GOD GETS  IT ALL. HE IS THE ONE SENDS THEM.
SO THANK YOU LORD, FOR ALL THE ANGELS MINISTERING AROUND THE WORLD.I SAY ALL THAT TO SAY, IT DOES NOT MATTER IF WE DESERVE IT OR NOT, GOD  THINKS SO.

JUST CAUSE WE CAN'T SEE HORSES OF FIRE AND CHARIOTS OF FIRE, DOES NOT MEAN THEY DON'T EXIST, ELIJAH AND ELISHA CAN ATTEST TO THERE EXISTENCE. HE CALLED THEM THE HORSEMEN OF ISRAEL. Elijah  told Elisha, if he sees the Angels come and take him away, Elisha would receive a double portion of ELIJAH'S SPIRIT.  Elisha saw him leaving Israel and he got a double portion of Elijah's Spirit.  Because of that, I asked for a Triple dose, well I did not want to be greedy.

I don’t see a hill, that I am not reminded of the day the Angels visited us in an unseen manner. 

Be not forgetful to entertain Strangers, for thereby some have entertained Angels Unawares! Strangers is the KEY, Unawares means we will not always know it. Some will. The other KEY is Angels report Directly to God. Be careful how you entertain Strangers. This was when she first moved to Arizona and was quite depressed about it all. My friend says two Navajo Angels came to visit her and she let them eat soup in the kitchen as it was snowing and she gave Grandpa a coat cause he needed one. She said, she told them bye, it was still snowing and a few minutes later she went outside to watch them off. There was footsteps on the porch, to the yard , and all of a sudden, a few feet out in the yard, they stopped. It was Navajo Angels, a boy and his grandpa.

I think it is too wonderful to ENTERTAIN ANGELS, but I think you gotta need um for some specific need. Like if your lonely and they come to help you make it through the day. BY THE SAME TOKEN, NOT EVERYBODY WHO IS LONELY GETS A VISIT FROM AN ANGEL. I DO NOT KNOW WHY. We'll I take that back, I do  know why!!! God did not tell them to do it !!!!
If I ever did entertain an Angel, I did not know it.But I’d think you’d  know it
Abram knew it, Jacob knew it. Daniel knew it. Mary knew it , Paul knew it. 
Lots of people do not know it, they are dealing with the unawares, just like I was. 
But there is no doubt about their existence. Many people can attest to their touch of an Angels hand. They have no form but can take the form of a man, a woman, a child, an animal, an in-animate-Object. They can sing, etc. Just ask, you will get a convo started, and you just might find them a  touch different than regular people.

I wrote a Song about Angels, I have written over            200      And          Pappy              Liked this one best of all.   Pappy was my Father(RIP) The lst few verses go

'ANGELS'
I ain’t never seen me no little bitty Angel, I ain’t never seen me no Angel Band.
I ain’t never seen me no Great Big Angel, but I got an Angel that ‘s  Holding  my hand...
Angels are watching watching o’re m e , Angels are watching o’re my land
Angsels are watching watching o’re me , Angels are watching me sing to the Lamb
Angels can only sing the song of   I AM, I can only sing the Song of the Lamb
Angels can only sing the song of   I AM, I can only sing the Song of the Lamb
Angels can only sing the song of   I AM, I can only sing the Song the song  of the Lamb
That just about sums it up when it comes to Me......

TO CATCH YOU UP, Granny(RIP), HAD HER FAVORITE SONG IT WAS 'lOVE IS A SONG!' it also is one I wrote music for on the piano so I could play and she could sing.

Love is a song Oh hear it’s voice
As music plays Love’s not a choice
 It’s neither right Nor ever wrong
Love simply says You belong

It’s never rich Nor ever poor
Love simply knows There’s always more
It can’t be bought Nor ever paid
Love simply is Going God’s Way       

I sing a song I hear a voice
As music plays Love’s not a choice
It’s neither far Nor ever near
Love simply says Goodby to fear

It’s never win Nor ever lose
Love simply knows What just what to do
It can’t be lost Nor ever fade
Love simply is Going God’s Way

God sang a song His Son’s the Voice
It’s Jesus Christ  He is your Choice
As Angels play God’s Song today
Love simply is Going God’s Way
Love simply is Going God’s Way
Love simply is Jesus is The Way

My Brother Erick Goodman is a preacher and he brought  me a CD. Granny loved to cook for everyone. My favorite song on it is,

Come Home, Come Home it's Supper Time. I like the words that say, by granny, Come home, there is a banquet on God's Celestial Shores.I think she is saying, their is a right time to come home.
Trust God, he will lead you, THROUGH IT ALL, you must follow! Don't ever tell God  no! HE CAN SEE THE FUTURE! He may surprise you !

The Sword of the Lord and of Gideon--Jdg 7:20

   Here is an example of God working with man to produce his eternal business. No where  in the Bible is it so evident that it takes both God and Man to deal with the business of the Kingdom.

    To feel, we can come in our name only, is presumptuous upon a God, that does require us to be humble in our approach to God, and humble toward a man, to whom we witness. Humility towards God, to even allow us to do his witnessing, of what He has done for us in our lives, and toward man, who is moved to tears, when he or she comes upon a truly humble person, who is willing to do as God bids. This is ascertained by the fact that God culled the men down to a mere 300 men who lapped, simply because he did not want Israel smarting off about it, being all their own effort that sustained them. God don't divide His Glory, His Honor or anything. He is Primo Uno. He sure don't divide his Honor with a wooden belly, cow, sand flea, etc. if you get my drift. They can't send 20,000 ministering Spirits to God's Chosen Ones. But He can, NOW THAT IS POWER!..........When we mention God’s Name, there is something Holy that is happening in the here and now. People stand up and take notice. Because HE IS DIFFERENT, HE'S BEEN HERE FROM THE BEGINNING, IS PRESENT, AND KNOWS THE FUTURE. HE DEFINITELY IS DIFFERENT. Wow, like maybe we should listen, when he or she talks. I BELIEVE IN THE SPIRIT OF PROPHESY. Even if it is just, "which fast food restaurant do you want to go to?"

    We should never attempt to take on witnessing without first being willing to shine our lights before mankind, SUCH AS, HOLD OUR TORCHES HIGH, BE SPIRIT LED. Only as we are good toward God and man, can those in the dark, have an example to follow for themselves. As Gideon told his people, take a pitcher, put a light into it, and when he calls, BY BLOWING THE TRUMPET, he and the other  men with him, then HIS  WORKING FORCES are to break the pitcher, and hollow, the Sword of the Lord and Gideon.  THEY WERE TO CARRY THEIR TORCHES IN THEIR LEFT HAND AND THEIR TRUMPET IN THEIR RIGHT. As you can see, in trying to give us an example to follow, he truly wanted us to shine like little stars. WE MUST GO IN LIGHT(TORCHES) WITH THE SPIRIT OF PROPHESY(THE TRUMPET)We must always be willing to show ourselves faithful to God by WALKING IN THE SPIRIT(WALKING IN THE LIGHT-we know where to go, and what to do)

    This is a way to bring light into darkness. We must be willing to go. Now if one cannot see that an area is truly dark to the light of the gospel, we won’t go. But that is not the case and never has been. There is no lighted believer that cannot see into the Spirit World. We all can start where we are. When we see a dark city as Gideon did, then we are admonished to bring light into it’s folds. We indeed have been given authority to baptize believers where ever we find them that want to be baptized. /you don’t need a degree from a seminary/we need to believe what God said, the Great Commission, “GO INTO ALL THE WORLD, BAPTIZING THEM IN THE NAME OF THE FATHER, THE SON, AND THE HOLY SPIRIT, TEACHING THEM TO OBSERVE ALL THINGS, WHATSOEVER I HAVE COMMANDED YOU! AND LO I AM WITH YOU ALWAYS, EVEN UNTIL THE END OF THE AGE”(And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age. - Matthew 28:20

    SONS', IT MEANS YOU! DAUGHTERS' IT MEANS YOU.  Don’t think that God is going to do it all by himself. Gideon teaches you this. Don’t think that you can do this all by yourself. Gideon teaches you this. Alls it takes is a willing heart. God will provide the humility. God will provide the food, clothes, houses, cars. He’ll even give you a strong mind with Godly Wisdom that no one can withstand.

    In fact, when you put God first, He has promised you houses here on earth. He says, when we give up our life for Him, He gives and gives and gives to us. But first the corn seed has got to fall into the ground, it is a soft landing people. He is the ground, you are the corn. So how do you think you could possibly fail. You can’t. He won’t let you. Fall into the Heavenly Father's hands, let him deal with the results. GET YOUR SWORD(WORD OF GOD) AND GO WITH GOD’S SWORD. BRING DIVISION, LET GOD DO THE MULTIPLYING. God didn’t come to bring Peace, but a Sword-Division. The word of God is powerful, a two-edged sword, capable of dividing asunder the spirit, the soul and the body. The soul consists of the Spirit and the Soul, the physical is the body. God came to save the Souls. It’s left up to him to translate the body  into Heaven. A Great Mystery that is. HEAVEN IS HIS BUSINESS NOT OURS.

    If you have the light, you’ll see the dark rather sharply. In fact, you'll be able to see through the dark as if it were light. There is a reason God says, we can look into the Spirit World, it is a gift from God. Yes, I've seen it. Maybe someday, He'll provide a use for that knowledge.You’ve got to begin with Souls in the dark, oh yes, you'll know they are in the dark. You’ve got to begin there. Talk it over with God, see what He has to say before you step out and fwd. Don't get ahead of Him. Make 100% sure you are witnessing to the right ones.
I REALLY SHOULD INTERJECT HERE, BEFORE  I  CLOSE. SOME PEOPLE LIKE THE DARK.    SIMPLY  SHAKE THEIR DUST OFF YOUR FEET. TURN UM OVER TO GOD, GET OUT OF HIS WAY. THE RESULTS OF WITNESSING, ARE NOT IN YOUR HANDS. GOD HAS BIGGER HANDS THAN YOU DO.  YOU'VE JUST BEEN ADMONISHED TO PRAISE HIM.

He don’t need anybody’s Money, he owns all the cattle on the hillsides. He needs plain and simple,

more souls to praise him.

If you got the light, SHARE IT...LET’S GIVE GOD WHAT GOD WANTS.
