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.

Stretched Thin

       Every time there is a Natural Disaster, of some sort, it appears we are already stretched thin on resources, manpower and money. Lately we have had Tornadoes, Hurricanes, Fires, Flood's, Earthquakes, Power Outages, the sky is falling Chicken Little, kinda legacy NASA left us with, and last but not least, Terrorism. The three last ones not being  Natural Disasters, but man made ones. These we can and will deal with. But however the problem comes, it certainly requires, people thinking out of the box, to solve  it. Forget Fear,  that does not fit into any equation we own. Certainly FORGETTING FEAR, is a POSITIVE PROBLEM(IF YOU CAN CONSIDER THERE TO BE SUCH AN ANIMAL), the negatives have never even thought of! YES, FORGET FEAR! START THERE! CLIMB ONTO A POSITIVE MOUNTAIN, WHERE THE EAGLE TALKS, WOE WOE WOE, LET'S HOPE THE  LAST THREE ANGELS DON'T BLOW THEIR TRUMPET. Of, course we've read the back of book. We know they do.....What's this got to do with deficients?  Well when you take 1/3 away from things, Seas, Rivers, Moons, etc, I figure God understands deficiencies.

Don't have a lot to do with what I am talking about but for some reason it seemed to fit right in. Writers, tend to go back, now and forward. Yes, I like writers, especially John of Patmos. No, I'm not off base, I'm just not where I want to be, on base. What I have discovered, is, when I keep adding and adding stuff to the present Blog, it is time to get another Blog going. I think I am going back to DD Time.  Today's was a wackmaster.

Back to this Blog......

       It really taxes a Country that is already overburdened with all kinds of problems. None of them appear to have an answer, most of the answers are frivolous ones that are not really capable of being a long term answer to a short term problem.

    We have a Deficiency in our Budget, and it keeps on getting bigger and bigger. Like I said, everybody wants an immediate answer one that usually covers the real problem that got us there in the first place.

    My question is not ‘WHY SUCH A DEFICIENT?”  How dare we?

    My question is “WHY ISN’T IT A BIGGER DEFICIENT.” PTL

    THAT IS EXACTLY WHERE I WOULD START. The bigger Deficient is harder to solve but so what. We are in the problem solving business.  And it would really be a feather in our cap, if we gave everybody money who needed it, whether they deserved it or not, so they could continue to function as viable people in a viable government. OTHER WISE WE WILL MEET UP WITH THEM SOMEWHERE DOWN THE LINE.. WHY HESITATE....Why should some of our people have to hit the ‘street, no job, no house, no money,’ and then we help them. Why not help them where they are at.

    Now this will not make people happy, who were not happy anyway, but it will help the common man, for whom government is for, and whom we serve. Let’s serve them will the proper attitude.

    After all, people, who are flooding need help, right then.

    People who are in a fire need help, right then.

    People who are in a mudslide need help, right then.

People who are in a Tornado need help, right then.

    People who are in a Hurricane need help, right then.

    People who are in a Earthquake need help, right then 

People who are in a Power Outage need help, right then.

    Do you get the point here.

    People who have no job need help, right then, not 3 years later.

    People who have no money need help, right then, not 4 years later

    People who have atrocious health bills, need help, right then, not 5 years later.

    People who have lost everything, need help, right then, not a lecture 6 years later

    People who have lost their homes, need help, right then, not 7 years later, a new home.

    People need friends, right then, not 8 years later. 

    Treat people with respect that have a need, not when they are cleaned up.

    I just know, we have sure had our share of disasters, wouldn’t you agree? Now why, do you think this is so? Well, I am sure everybody has there very own reason, as to why it is happening. I certainly do!

    But you really do not care that I care. It is not appropriate for me to garner advise as to why your suffering in your very own way. Yes, I say suffering, cause most people to whom all of this has happened to, do not act happy about it all. So I will say they are suffering.

    So we do not need a government telling us too, ‘BATTEN DOWN THE HATCHES.’
PEOPLE, ALREADY HAVE DONE THIS.

WHAT THEY NEED IS A GOVERNMENT GIVING THEM, WITH A BIG GRIN, MONEY, JOBS, HOUSES, AND HEALTH CARE! THEY CAN USUALLY FIGURE OUT WHAT TO DO WITH IT.

    Now I am surely not going to be popular with the ‘Government.’

    For they do not like anybody that has an answer to their horrid problems of Deficient’s.

I just got this to say. If we’re down 4 Trillion, why not be down 12 Trillion.

You've heard the old adage, 'I clean up pretty good....'
I will reiterate, treat people with respect that have a need, not when they are cleaned up.


Give it to the people, give some to everybody, give some to the singles and families. I don't know a family with growing kids, that could not use some extra cash. I'm talking big time cash. I am a populist. They will really be happy for a change. They will spend and we won’t have a depression or recession or a down right slowing down period, and we sure won't have, a loss of a good attitude, from our Foreign Friends. They will be happy we are spending. We will generate jobs, and ideas will flow from happy people, how to get houses and health care, etc. I am not a socialist. I am of the Helper Party. Let's help our people....Government included.

Don’t penalize people because our leaders didn’t know how to govern.

We’re the people. We didn’t do it...........

USDA

             Man, I am gonna start with a praise, I may not end that way, but at the very least I will get your attention. When I was growing up, those initials, were like, WOW, to me. If something was said, it was backed by the USDA very well, I was the first to get in line to get it. USDA meat. After all, I just wanted the best. I will Veer off and interject this personal note. Speaking of the best, the USDA has, it is my BFF here in MF, Peggy Lee Bender. She works in Animal Control, for USDA and is a Wildlife Specialist for the Navajo Nation. I just wanted her to know that I care about her personally, and that I do not have 'Knock Peggy Tendencies.' This article has nothing to do with her what so ever. I am a writer therefore I write. She is the hardest worker, and the most conscientious person that  I know. Very intelligent! She really should be full time. E'en though I would see her less.She does an excellent job at whatever she puts her hands to. And I love her very much! But I still advocate they need shook up a bit and put her on full time. But they did not ask me! That said, therefore, I move on toward this article!

    Now, I will retrogress back to Feb-August 4th, 2011. That is when it all was happening. What was happening you ask? Well, people getting sick on a product, and it is really easy to go for one or the other, e coli or, salmonella, the symptoms are basically the same. Cepting the e-coli goes for ground round and the salmonella heads toward the Poultry Bin. But they both do about the same damage, I might add, usually to your kidney’s, and then bingo, death. Only thing is Dr Blair, one of my Science Professors at Tulsa University told us, he had it once(Salmonella that is), and if you ever got it, ‘why you’d wish you were dead.” It was that bad. I didn’t need to get it, he made a believer out of me. But here the ole culprit was showing up in America, wrecking havoc all over the States.

    I just have one little, tiny, problem with the USDA now. Why did it take you from July 19th where you suspected, the Turkey coming from Cargill meat plant in Springdale, Ark., was making these people sick. YOU SAY, “ they were unable to issue a recall because they simply did not have enough information. AND YOU HAD TO DO A TRACEBACK.”

How sick do you gotta be, for someone to take notice. There is never any hard rock evidence, that is going to come knocking on your door and tell you “well, here we go again.  Food Poisoning did it, in the library with the hammer! You can’t seem to get a handle on this. You don’t seem to be going anywhere WITH THIS SALMONELLA and 3,000 people die a year and it HARDLY EVER VARIES. You should be having a better Success rate than to have a repetition of the same ole same ole, food poisoning, year after year. You better get you a new graph and figure out where you’ve gone wrong. Food Poisoning is Food Poisoning. Why wait till half of America goes ahead and buys the Turkey Burgers and consumes them, to tell them, why we suspected this two weeks ago, but we had to confirm and confirm and confirm with this paper and that paper and this paper. In the meantime, people are getting a hold of something that makes them feel like they want to be dead.

    Now I say all that, to say this. If you people in the USDA, who did this to the unsuspecting American people, were all locked into a room with a man or woman, that I JUST SUSPECTED, might be a murderer, I bet you’d want me to tell you what I suspect, wouldn’t you? Forget waiting on the Warden to send ME their papers to me to confirm, yup, HE REALLY DOES LIKE TO KILL PEOPLE. What if I waited, like you all did, and he really was a murderer and did you all in BECAUSE YOU WERE AVAILABLE, would you get the message then.

    Kids love Turkey Burgers, and they are ‘HEALTHY EATING,’ RIGHT?  Think how many kids ate them Turkey Burgers. I am thankful they have a bounce back attitude.
    You need to revamp your meetings to include some common sense, once in awhile. Now if what you were doing was changing the statistics on Food Poisoning, I’d say, Ok, I’m a DORK, and I owe you an apology. But you ain’t changing statistics according to Note # 1. I bet if my Sons(Of course, they are very helpful people!)got a hold of them Statistics they’d show you a chart that would boggle your minds. If your willing to listen that is. Well, you’ve definitely shown by this last action that you are in the ‘need help business.’

Take Note # 1: 

the federal health officials say they’ve made virtually no progress against it.
The CDC estimates that 50 million Americans each year get sick from food poisoning, including about 3,000 who die. Salmonella causes most of these cases, and federal health officials say they've made virtually no progress against it.

    No Results, wow, you’d be fired out in the real world.

    But I only have one last thing to say. YOUR INTO EVERYTHING, FOOD, DRUGS, ANIMALS, ETC. I hope your success ratio is better in these avenues. But I get this gut feeling they could probably use a little shaking up also. Air out the mattress, kinda thing!

 But................................
    You’re a failure as an institution.
    GET IT RIGHT!
    AND I DON’T WANTA HEAR NO WHIMPERING, EITHER.

    I will listen to those people after July 19, who got this cruddy stuff, for they have a right to bawl. It hurts like Hell, IF YOU HAD STOOD UP FOR THEM AND TOSSED THE PAPER WORK TO THE WIND, I AT LEAST WOULD HAVE RESPECTED YOU. IF YOU NEED MORE PEOPLE, THEN SQUEAL LIKE A PIG. I DON’T HEAR NO PIGS SQUEALING even when you were dealing with the children’s ‘tylenol  issue.’ No pigs squealing! All you said was, 'we was short of people.'

    But I can say, emphatically, Pepto Bismol helps. Gas is a killer! I am pretty sure, the kidney is telling the lung to tell the heart to tell the head, ah, ‘it only hurts for a little while,’ especially while everything is bloated. THE TRUTH IS THE HEADS THE HEALER.

    My personal opinion, nah, this ain’t it. This is it, “my personal opinion is” THE USDA IS BLOATED IN THE HEAD, and it needs SOME ONE TO TELL IT THE TRUTH. IT NEEDS TO HEAL ITSELF.

    Go tell the Turkey Processor(that you Suspicioned in the first place), that Nina says, “they ain’t getting off so easy either,” for surely they got a ‘funny feeling’ while this all was going around, when it first started. They should have stood up and been counted as a possible culprit. People got a long memory. Don’t ever be guilty of putting Money above Health, ever again. I realize you had to recall 36 million lbs worth of Turkey and that was shall we say a ‘BITE OUT OF ONES PROFIT. But health is health! And one can’t put a dollar value on that, can one?

    After all, I love Turkey! And sounds like from the amount of the recall, so does America. I’m just glad this didn’t happen around Thanksgiving. Can you imagine almost everybody in America getting sick.

Now you talk about a bitch. There ain’t nothing as bad as making America angry.
One angry bitch!

Nah, I don’t think it’s ever happened. We’re a classy nation, PTL

ps my hubby says, it ain’t possible. People at Thanksgiving eat “WHOLE TURKEYS NOT GROUND ONES.” I THINK HE MISSED THE POINT OF THIS RANT, DON’T YOU?
WHAT IS THE POINT OF THIS RANT?
 I’M OFF HIS CASE

Just a few notes I thought important:

Take Note # 2 :

All of the packages recalled include the code "Est. P-963," according to Cargill, though packages were labeled under many different brands. Many of the recalled meats are under the label Honeysuckle White. Other brands include Riverside Ground Turkey; Natural Lean Ground Turkey; Fit & Active Lean Ground Turkey; Spartan Ground Turkey and Shady Brook Farms Ground Turkey Burgers. The recall also includes ground turkey products packaged under the HEB; Safeway; Kroger; Randall's; Tom Thumb and Giant Eagle grocery store brands.
The recall also includes some ground turkey that isn't labeled at all and some that went to food service establishments, according to Cargill.

Take Note # 3 :

Dr. Chris Braden, director of the division of Foodborne, Waterborne, and Environmental Diseases at the CDC said out of the 78 people that have been sickened, 22 people, or 38 percent have been hospitalized, which are higher numbers than normal.

“We are working to explore why this may be,” Braden said. “We know the strain is resistant to several antibiotics, which may increase hospitalization and failure of treatment.”

Braden said the good news is that this strain, known as Salmonella Heidelberg, does respond to several other commonly used antibiotics such as Cipro and Bactrim.

Take Note # 4 :

Government officials say that even contaminated ground turkey is safe to eat if it is cooked to 165 degrees. But it's also important that raw meat be handled properly before it is cooked and people wash their hands with soap for at least 20 seconds before and after handling the meat. Turkey and other meats should also be properly refrigerated or frozen and leftovers heated.

The most common symptoms of salmonella are diarrhea, abdominal cramps and fever within eight to 72 hours of eating a contaminated product. It can be life-threatening to people with weakened immune systems.

"It is regrettable that people may have become ill from eating one of our ground turkey products," said Willardsen -- "and, for anyone who did, we are truly sorry." I believe him, don’t you?

Everything Looks Big to the Aged!

    You know I been kinda following the Politics of Debt Ceiling. I can’t really tell you who is doing what, just that there is plenty of opposition happening and a deadline coming up. After August 2nd, perhaps no checks for the Social Security Recipients. Saw that while surfing. Two elder people trying to figure out what they are going to do. No they weren’t doing a jig!
   
    First, I need to point out something to someone somewhere. If you don’t understand POWER, JUST GO AHEAD AND MESS WITH SOCIAL SECURITY HERE IN THE USA.
    I FOR ONE KNOW THE POWER THAT THE ELDERLY HAVE WHEN IT COMES TO VOTE TIME. IN FACT THAT IS WHY THIS ISSUE LOOKS BIG. Loneliness and agedness are BIG ITEMS THE ELDERLY HAVE TO FACE.(how do I know this, because I am one of them-over 50 crowd) AND to take something away from them, is A BIG DEAL---BIG BROTHER STEALING FROM THE RETIREE’S--- THEREFORE THIS IS LOOMING LIKE THE GIANT DAVID KILLED WITH HIS 5 LITTLE STONES.

    Him being a lad no one expected him to kill the giant. Saul offered him armor he said no. he was going to fight the giant, with what he was most familiar with, stones. Plus HE KNEW HE WAS GONNA WIN, or he’d never dare do the feat. That kind of knowledge only comes from God!

    Now that is what I am going to do. My writing! Constitutes 5 little stones. I KNOW I AM GONNA WIN, or I’d never take on the Powerful who simply think they are powerful.

    I want you to understand POWER! This Country has them all over the place working and non working. Some are your neighbors. Some are your acquaintances. Some are your friends.

    THEY MAY BE LONELY AND THEY MAY BE AGED, BUT THEY GOT MOUTHS AND THEY WILL USE THEIR MOUTHS TO SEE TO IT THAT THE SACRED COW IS NOT TOUCHED.

    After all this is important to them. Financial security is one of the attributes of Social Security. That is why they need to keep the few benefits that they possess. Maybe they can’t do nothing about loneliness, and maybe they can’t do nothing about agedness, but they can use the POWER THEY POSSESS IN UNITY TO LET OTHERS HEAR FROM THEM.
   

    LONELY PEOPLE GOT POWER. Listen to what I just said.
    ELDERLY PEOPLE GOT POWER. Listen to what I just said.
    MOUTHY PEOPLE GOT POWER. Listen to what I just said.

    If I were you, I would be afraid to stand up like Goliath!
