Happy New Year

Christmas was an awesome event this year. I had forgotten how exciting it is to have little ones on Christmas morning. The joy and excitement on their little faces sure fill your heart to over flowing. Of course, Santa brought them what they wanted and a whole lot more than they expected.

It's hard to believe the kids have been here almost 7 months now. The time has flown as I'm sure the next 6 months will also. It's going to be difficult when it's time for them to leave but I thank God for the blessing of allowing us this time to bond.

I hope everyone of you also had a grand Christmas and that the blessings of the season follow you throughout the next year. As for New Years resolutions I have a long list. How many of them will come to pass is questionable.

I wish you all a happy, healthy, and prosperous New Years!

Cheers to a new year and another chance for us to get it right.

HIS EYE IS ON THE SPARROW

  
A female mate was hit by a car as she swooped low across the road, and the condition was soon fatal.

Her male mate brought her food and attended her with love and compassion.


He brought her food again, but was shocked to find her dead.

He tried to move her - a rarely seen effort.

Aware that his mate was dead and would never come back to him again, he cried with adoring love...

...and stood beside her with sadness and sorrow.

Millions of people were touched after seeing these photos in America , Europe, Australia , and even India .  The photographer sold these pictures for a nominal fee to the most famous newspaper in France .  All copies of that edition were sold out on the day these pictures were published.

And many people think animals and birds don't have brains or feelings.  You have just witnessed love and sorrow felt by God's creatures.  The Bible says that God knows when a sparrow falls.  Imagine how much He cares for us!

Live simply, love generously, care deeply, and speak kindly.

Tis the Season

Twas the month before Christmas*
*When all through our land,*
*Not a Christian was praying*
*Nor taking a stand.*
*See the PC Police had taken away,*
*The reason for Christmas - no one could say.*
*The children were told by their schools not to sing,*
*About Shepherds and Wise Men and Angels and things.*
*It might hurt people's feelings, the teachers would say*
* December 25th is just a ' Holiday '.*
*Yet the shoppers were ready with cash, checks and credit*
*Pushing folks down to the floor just to get it!*
*CDs from Madonna, an X BOX, an I-pod*
*Something was changing, something quite odd! *
*Retailers promoted Ramadan and Kwanzaa*
*In hopes to sell books by Franken & Fonda..*
*As Targets were hanging their trees upside down*
* At Lowe's the word Christmas - was nowhere to be found.*
*At K-Mart and Staples and Penny's and Sears*
*You won't hear the word Christmas; it won't touch your ears.*
*Inclusive, sensitive, Di-ver-is-ty*
*Are words that were used to intimidate me.*
*Now Daschle, Now Darden, Now Sharpton, Wolf Blitzen*
*On Boxer, on Rather, on Kerry, on Clinton !*
*At the top of the Senate, there arose such a clatter*
*To eliminate Jesus, in all public matter.*
*And we spoke not a word, as they took away our faith*
* Forbidden to speak of salvation and grace*
*The true Gift of Christmas was exchanged and discarded*
*The reason for the season, stopped before it started.*
*So as you celebrate 'Winter Break' under your 'Dream Tree'*
*Sipping your Starbucks, listen to me.*
*Choose your words carefully, choose what you say*
*Shout MERRY CHRISTMAS ,
Not Happy Holiday !*
Please, all Christians join together and
Wish everyone you meet during the
Holidays a
MERRY CHRISTMAS
Christ is The Reason for the Christ-mas Season!


A friend shared this with and I feel I should share it also. MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL!

God Gave Me A Gift

God gave me a gift, the gift of life. He did not promise it would hold no strife. God gave me a gift, the gift of love. He sent His Son from Heaven above. God gave me a gift, the gift of prayer, He constantly listens, He's always there. God gave me a gift, the gift of hope. He sent His spirit who helps me to cope. God gave me a gift, the gift of choice. In His infinite love, I now rejoice.

We Take So Much For Granted

Desks
Back in September of 2005, on the first day of school, Martha Cothren, a social studies school teacher at  Robinson High School in Little Rock , did something not to be forgotten.  On the first day of school, with the permission of the school superintendent, the principal and the building supervisor, she removed all of the desks out of her classroom. 

When the first period kids entered the room they discovered that there were no desks. 

'Ms. Cothren, where're our desks?' 

She replied, 'You can't have a desk until you tell me how you earn the right to sit at a desk.' 

They thought, 'Well, maybe it's our grades.' 

'No,' she said. 

'Maybe it's our behavior.' 

She told them, 'No, it's not even your behavior.' 

And so, they came and went, the first period, second period, third period.  Still no desks in the classroom. 

By early afternoon television news crews had started gathering in Ms.Cothren's classroom to report about this crazy teacher who had taken all the desks out of her room. 

The final period of the day came and as the puzzled students found seats on the floor of the deskless classroom, Martha Cothren said, 'Throughout the day no one has been able to tell me just what he/she has done to earn the right to sit at the desks that are ordinarily found in this classroom.  Now I am going to tell you.' 

At this point, Martha Cothren went over to the door of her classroom and opened it. 

Twenty-seven (27) U.S. Veterans, all in uniforms, walked into that classroom, each one carrying a school desk.  The Vets began placing the school desks in rows, and then they would walk over and stand alongside the wall.  By the time the last soldier had set the final desk in place those kids started to understand, perhaps for the first time in their lives, just how the right to sit at those desks had been earned. 

Martha said, 'You didn't earn the right to sit at these desks.  These heroes did it for you.  They placed the desks here for you.  Now, it's up to you to sit in them. It is your responsibility to learn, to be good students, to be good citizens.  They paid the price so that you could have the freedom to get an education.  Don't ever forget it.' 

By the way, this is a true story.

I'm 63 and I'm Tired

This was shared with me by a friend and I felt the need to share it also.

I'm 63 and I'm Tired -

VERY PROFOUND READING!

 Robert A. Hall is the actor who plays the coroner on CSI if you watch that show.  He also is a Marine Vietnam War veteran. 

This should be required reading for every man, woman and child in the United States of America .
  "I'm 63 and I'm Tired"By Robert A. Hall


I'm 63.  Except for one semester in college when jobs were scarce and a six-month period when I was between jobs, but job-hunting every day, I've worked hard since I was 18.   Despite some health challenges, I still put in 50-hour weeks, and haven't called in sick in seven or eight years.   I make a good salary, but I didn't inherit my  job or my income, and I worked to get where I am.  Given the  economy, there's no retirement in sight, and I'm tired.  Very tired. 

I'm tired of being told that I have to "spread the wealth" to people who don't have my work ethic.  I'm tired of being told the government will take the money I earned, by force if necessary, and give it to people too lazy to earn it. 

I'm tired of being told that I have to pay more taxes to "keep people in their homes."   Sure, if they lost their jobs or got sick, I'm willing to help.   But if they bought Mc Mansions at three times the price of our paid-off, $250,000 condo, on one-third of my salary, then let the left-wing Congress-critters who passed Fannie and Freddie and the Community Reinvestment Act that created the bubble help them with their own money.

I'm tired of being told how  bad America is by left-wing millionaires like Michael Moore, George Soros and Hollywood Entertainers who live in luxury because of the opportunities America offers.  In thirty years, if they get their way, the United States will have the economy of   Zimbabwe , the freedom of the press of China   the crime and violence of Mexico , the tolerance for Christian people of Iran , and the freedom of speech of Venezuela .

I'm tired of being told that Islam is a "Religion of Peace," when every day I can read dozens of stories of Muslim men killing their sisters, wives and daughters for their family "honor"; of Muslims rioting over some slight offense; of Muslims murdering Christian and Jews because  they aren't "believers"; of Muslims burning schools for girls;  of Muslims stoning teenage rape victims to death for "adultery";  of Muslims mutilating the genitals of little girls; all in the name of Allah, because the Qur'an and Shari'a law tells them to.  

I'm tired of being told  that "race doesn't matter" in the post-racial world of Obama,  when it's all that matters in affirmative action jobs, lower college admission and graduation standards for minorities  (harming them the most), government contract set-asides,  tolerance for the ghetto culture of violence and fatherless  children that hurts minorities more than anyone, and in the appointment of U.S. Senators from Illinois.  

I think it's very cool that we have a black president and that a black child is doing her homework at the desk where Lincoln wrote the Emancipation Proclamation.  I just wish the black president was Condi Rice, or someone who believes more in freedom and the individual and less arrogantly of an all-knowing government. 

I'm tired of a news media that thinks Bush's fundraising and inaugural expenses were obscene, but thinks that Obama's, at triple the cost, were wonderful; that thinks Bush exercising daily was a waste of  presidential time, but Obama exercising is a great example for the public to control weight and stress; that picked over every line of Bush's military records, but never demanded that Kerry release his; that slammed Palin, with two years as governor, for being too inexperienced for VP, but touted Obama with three years as senator as potentially the best president ever.  Wonder why people are dropping their subscriptions or switching to Fox News?  Get a clue.  I didn't vote for Bush in 2000, but the media and Kerry drove me to his camp in 2004. 

I'm tired of being told  that out of "tolerance for other cultures" we must let Saudi Arabia use our oil money to fund mosques and mandrassa Islamic schools to preach hate in America , while no American group is allowed to fund a church, synagogue or religious school in Saudi Arabia to teach love and tolerance. 

I'm tired of being told I must lower my living standard to fight global warming, which no one is allowed to debate.  My wife and I live in a two-bedroom apartment and carpool together five miles to our jobs. We also own a three-bedroom condo where our daughter and granddaughter live.  Our carbon footprint is about 5% of Al Gore's, and if you're greener than Gore, you're green enough.  

I'm tired of being told  that drug addicts have a disease, and I must help support and treat them, and pay for the damage they do.  Did a giant germ rush out of a dark alley, grab them, and stuff white powder up their noses while they tried to fight it off?  I don't think Gay people choose to be Gay, but I #@*# sure think druggies chose to  take drugs. And I'm tired of harassment from cool people treating me like a freak when I tell them I never tried marijuana. 

I'm tired of illegal aliens being called "undocumented workers," especially the ones who aren't working, but are living on welfare or crime.  What's next?   Calling drug dealers, "Undocumented Pharmacists"?   And, no, I'm not against Hispanics.  Most of them are Catholic, and it's been a few hundred years since Catholics wanted to kill me for my religion.  I'm willing to fast track for citizenship any Hispanic person, who can speak English, doesn't have a criminal record  and who is self-supporting without family on welfare, or who serves honorably for three years in our military.... Those are the citizens we need. 

I'm tired of latte liberals and journalists, who would never wear the uniform of the Republic themselves, or let their entitlement-handicapped kids near a recruiting station, trashing our military.  They and their kids can sit at home, never having to make split-second  decisions under life and death circumstances, and bad mouth better people than themselves.  Do bad things happen in war?  You bet.  Do our troops sometimes misbehave?  Sure.  Does this compare with the atrocities that were the policy of our enemies for the last fifty years and still are?  Not even close.  So here's the deal.  I'll let myself be subjected to all the humiliation and abuse that was heaped on terrorists at Abu Ghraib or Gitmo, and the critics can let themselves be subject to captivity by the Muslims, who tortured and beheaded Daniel Pearl in Pakistan, or the Muslims who tortured and murdered Marine Lt. Col. William Higgins in Lebanon, or the Muslims who ran the blood-spattered Al Qaeda torture rooms our troops found in Iraq, or the Muslims who cut off the heads of schoolgirls in Indonesia, because the  girls were Christian.  Then we'll compare notes.  British and American soldiers are the only troops in history that civilians came to for help and handouts, instead of hiding from in fear.  

I'm tired of people telling me that their party has a corner on virtue and the other party has a corner on corruption.  Read the papers; bums are bipartisan.   And I'm tired of people telling me we need  bipartisanship.  I live in Illinois , where the " Illinois   Combine" of Democrats has worked to loot the public for years.   Not to mention the tax cheats in Obama's cabinet.  

I'm tired of hearing wealthy athletes, entertainers and politicians of both parties talking about innocent mistakes, stupid mistakes or youthful mistakes, when we all know they think their only mistake was getting caught.  I'm tired of people with a sense of entitlement, rich or poor. 

Speaking of poor, I'm tired of hearing people with air-conditioned homes, color TVs and two cars called poor.  The majority of Americans didn't have that in  1970, but we didn't know we were "poor."  The poverty pimps have to keep changing the definition of poor to keep the dollars flowing. 

I'm real tired of people who  don't take responsibility for their lives and actions.  I'm tired of hearing them blame the government, or discrimination or big-whatever for their problems. 

Yes, I'm #@*% tired.  But I'm also glad to be 63.  Because, mostly, I'm not going to have to see the world these people are making.  I'm just sorry for my granddaughter. 

Robert  A. Hall is a Marine Vietnam veteran who served five terms in the Massachusetts State Senate.

There is no way this will be widely publicized !

Family Woes

Things have been crazy at Granny’s house. In one week, I think we ended up at the ER or walk-in clinic like 6 times. Both kids had ear infections in both ears, both had near pneumonia, Maddy and Mel had pink eye, and then when they start getting better Granny gets a bad sinus infection/head cold.  Finally, we are all feeling better.

“May God give you...For every storm a rainbow, for every tear a smile, for every care a promise and a blessing in each trial. For every problem life sends, a faithful friend to share, for every sigh a sweet song and an answer for each prayer.”

Have a blessed week ahead.

Word Play

(No offense to the blondes out there who know and love football, I am one too.)

A guy took his blond girlfriend to her first football game.
They  had great seats right behind their team's bench.

After the game, the guy asked her how she liked the experience.

"Oh, I really liked it," the blonde replied. "Especially the tight pants and all the big muscles, but I just  couldn't understand why they were killing each other over 25 cents."

Dumbfounded, her date asked, "What do you mean?"

"Well, at the beginning, they flipped a coin, one team got it and then for the rest of the game,  everyone kept screaming 'Get the quarterback! Get the quarterback!'

 I'm like, "Helloooooooooooo - it's only 25 cents!"

Have a super day!

I'm So Far Behind

Well it's been a while since I have posted. I have so many irons in the fire it's a wonder I haven't burnt myself.  I am taking every opportunity allowed to spend as much time with my family and grand kids as possible, which has meant less time on the PC.  My weekends are pretty much booked for the next year.

At the moment I am spending much of my day in my online writing group F2K, as we have just cranked up a new session. I have 71 students signed up just for my room, so that means a lot of reading and responding.

When I'm not doing that I'm busy as bee over on Peoplestring earning some extra cash watching, video's emailing, and socializing. Feel free to come join me and be my friend, it's free.

When I'm not doing that I'm running to the gym, viewing pics and video's of the kids, and working on my manuals for next term for my LIR classes.

Life is shorten than we think, so live like there is no tomorrow. Most of all have fun and enjoy those around you. Sometimes I believe we take life to seriously.

Enjoy!

Writers Quotes

`
It's time for another session of F2K. Writers helping writers. I would like to share a few of my favorite writing quotes. Writing is an opportunity to journey through lands and experiences that we would otherwise only visit in our dreams.

Writing is easy:  All you do is sit staring at a blank sheet of paper until drops of blood form on your forehead.  ~Gene Fowler
Fill your paper with the breathings of your heart.  ~William Wordsworth
Don't tell me the moon is shining; show me the glint of light on broken glass.  ~Anton Chekhov 
Write your first draft with your heart.  Re-write with your head.  ~From the movie Finding Forrester
You fail only if you stop writing. ~Ray Bradbury 
Write because your heart tells you too!

May You Have A Joyful Easter


God Gave Me A Gift

God gave me a gift, the gift of life. He did not promise it would hold no strife. God gave me a gift, the gift of love. He sent His Son from Heaven above.

One Word Of Advice

If I could give you one word of advice, It would be to trust in the Lord Jesus Christ. He went to Calvary and died on the cross, So that you as a sinner would not be lost. In your time of need he will always be near, He will comfort your heart and wipe away your tears. Give HIm your heart, soul, body and mind, A truer friend you will never find. (c)1993

Family Blessing


Hi everyone, I hope that todays post finds you all health and happy. The last two weeks or so I have been helping my dad through cataract surgery. As most of you may know he is 85 and lives next door to me. I love him dearly and feel blessed to have been able to have such a close relationship with him.

The blessing, however, has been two fold. Although I  am glad to have him near me and can be of some support to him for all that he has done for me in my life, it has been difficult. To watch a man that once was so vibrant, who was my tree of strength through so much of my life, slowly dwindle before my eyes into a man who has become as dependent on me, as I was on him when I was child, is heartbreaking.

I pray daily for God to continue to bless him and to give me the strength and courage to be there for him.


"I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me."

Philippians 4:13 (KJV)

My your week ahead be a blessed on.

"But my God shall supply all your need
according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus"
Philippians 4:19 (KJV)


Can't

Can't is the worst word that's written or spoken;
Doing more harm here than slander and lies;
On it is many a strong spirit broken,
And with it many a good purpose dies.
It springs from the lips of the thoughtless each morning
And robs us of courage we need through the day:
It rings in our ears like a timely-sent warning
And laughs when we falter and fall by the way.


Can't  is the father of feeble endeavor,
The parent of terror and half-hearted work;
It weakens the efforts of artisans clever,
And makes of the toiler an indolent shirk.
It poisons the soul of the man with a vision,
It stifles in infancy many a plan;
It greets honest toiling with open derision
And mocks at the hopes and the dreams of a man.



Can't is a word none should speak without blushing;
To utter it should be a symbol of shame;
Ambition and courage it daily is crushing;
It blights a man's purpose and shortens his aim.
Despise it with all of your hatred of error;
Refuse it the lodgment it seeks in your brain;
Arm against it as a creature of terror,
And all that you dream of you some day shall gain.



Can't is the word that is foe to ambition,
An enemy ambushed to shatter your will;
Its prey is forever the man with a mission
And bows but to courage and patience and skill.
Hate it, with hatred that's deep and undying,
For once it is welcomed 'twill break any man;
Whatever the goal you are seeking, keep trying`

And answer this demon by saying: "I _can_."
~Edgar A Guest

Love Comes From The Heart


Can you love someone whom you have never meet personally? I have been spending a lot of time in online social portals, writing groups, and chat rooms over the past year and have learned that indeed you can love people whom you have never personally meet. It is so easy in today's world to become self absorbent thinking only of ourselves, our troubles, our needs, our desires, we are all guilty of it at some point in our lives. We are human, after all. I have made some great new friendship over the Internet and truly feel a bond with these friends. I would take to this opportunity to wish each of you a special and loving Valentine Wish! You have enriched my life.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Don’t just pretend to love others. Really love them. Hate what is wrong. Hold tightly to what is good. Love each other with genuine affection, and take delight in honoring each other. Never be lazy, but work hard and serve the Lord enthusiastically. Rejoice in our confident hope. Be patient in trouble, and keep on praying. When God’s people are in need, be ready to help them. Always be eager to practice hospitality."
Romans 12:9-13 New Living Translation Bible

Super Bowl Sunday!

Super Bowl XLIII, Saints or Colts?  Who will you be pulling for?  




I like both teams so I was undecided for a while, however, I think I will be pulling for the Saints. The Colts have been in the Super twice, and since this is the Saints first trip I'm going to give them my support.


It should be an interesting game with some hard hitting in your face football.  For a list of the history of who played who in what super bowl you can go here


I'm looking forward to the halftime show with "The Who." I'm curious to see how their performance stacks up to the way I remember them way back when. 


Wishing you all a great, fun, safe day with friends and family!

Touch Someone Today

Whatever our hands touch -
We leave fingerprints!
On walls, on furniture
On doorknobs, dishes, books.
There's no escape.
As we touch we leave our identity.


Wherever I go today
Help me leave heartprints!
Heartprints of compassion
Of understanding and love.
Heartprints of kindness
And genuine concern.
May my heart touch a lonely neighbor
Or a runaway daughter
Or an anxious mother
Or perhaps an aged grandfather.
Send me out today
To leave heartprints.
And if someone should say,
"I felt your touch,"
May they also sense the love
that is deep within my heart.

Doubting Thomas

Hello everyone. I hope you are having an awesome week. I just got off my weekly webinar, checked my PayPal account, and I'm pumped and excited.  Being from the  "old school" I have always been a bit leery of the actuality that you could sit at your computer, in the comfort of your home, in your PJ's, with a cup of coffee and make money.  Granny has been burnt a few times over the years and so I've become a bit cautious, which unfortunately in this day and time we have to be, not only in cyberspace but in the real world as well. There are indeed a lot of scams and a hoard of folks roaming about who will gladly take advantage of you.


With that said, what I am discovering is that, although there are scam artist who prey on our vulnerabilities, there are also those who scream scam, scam, scam, when in fact, it's not a scam at all. In actuality they shout scam because they failed to succeed, not because the opportunity is truly a scam, but because they sat back on their laurels rubbing their hands together waiting to get rich. Then instead of admitting this to themselves or others they just run around cyberspace screaming scam.

There are some truly honest and good opportunities to make extra cash working online in social marketing. I know because I'm doing it!  However, like any JOB it takes a little effort on your part.  So, the next time you hear scam, or dismiss an opportunity because of something someone said, take a moment and consider the person.  Is the opportunity really a scam or did the person just not put forth the effort to make the opportunity profitable for them and thereby they feel they were scammed and they want you to think it too.

Well, that's my tidbit of advice for all you wonderful folks today. May you be all you can in 2010 and may all your dreams come true.
People do not seem to realize that their opinion of the world is also a confession of character.
-- Ralph Waldo Emerson
