(**except for holidays**) ** Images For Use By Upgraded+ Only ** Stealthmode Air Power!  ### ### ### ### ### ### I've a wagon load of opinions on nearly every subject and I seem to gather enough steam occasionally to instigate a debate if the subject stirs me. I have super-low tolerance for stupidity, child, senior and animal abusers, smelly old men who come on to any female and last but certainly not least, Criminal Politicians.  I am a Christian, NOT perfected by any stretch. Come on in, read, agree, disagree or just shake your head, I welcome your thoughts, all peoples, all nations, always.  ** Images For Use By Upgraded+ Only ** *  * |

Check out slammin' Sammies' skin in 12 short months . . . looks like some nose narrowing was done as well.

Sad. ** Images For Use By Upgraded+ Only ** Israel scored a big hit with this seizure, look what their Navy hauled in, en route to Hezbollah.  http://www.prophecynewswatch.com/November06/0621.html Tam and I now watch Creflo Dollar's half hour segment on TBN, at 8 every morning. She seems to have some "Aha!" moments when she listens to him. I know I sure do. I learn something EVERY time I hear him. Her assault case comes up 12/03/09 - We really have given this all to the Lord. We know He can get Mr. Bad-man better than any of us. So we have peace.  I really wonder if the step-mother and adopted dad can be prosecuted? Tamra requires heavy-duty psychiatric care, maybe as often as 2 to 3 times a week initially. I know her Medicare or Medicaid covers psyche meds but I don't think they cover psychiatric care. I think this profession has out-priced its usefulness. >>> >>> >>>  <<< <<< <<<I feel some poetic rumblings beginning to stir and rummage 'round within my spirit, it's been five years since I had a flow period; of 7 weeks, 7 days a week, 16-18 hours per!

** Images For Use By Upgraded+ Only ** Quote for the Day ~ "You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart" Jeremiah 29:13 The problem with most of us is we are unwilling to seek God for the answers. Seeking God requires an intentional focus that may require prayer and fasting. Bill Bright, the founder of Campus Crusade for Christ said, "I believe the power of fasting as it relates to prayer is the spiritual atomic bomb that our Lord has given us to destroy the strongholds of evil and usher in a great revival and spiritual harvest around the world. The longer I fasted, the more I sensed the presence of the Lord. The Holy Spirit refreshed my soul and spirit, and I experienced the joy of the Lord as seldom before. Biblical truths leaped at me from the pages of God's Word. My faith soared as I humbled myself and cried out to God and rejoiced in His presence."* Do you need a breakthrough? Consider committing to a time of fasting and prayer. I just did a 24-hour fast* from, before nine am on Saturday to ten on Sunday. (** had to have some chips and dip while I screamed for the Texans' defense to dump Manning  **) at least they did NOT run up on us.)) We gave Peyton all he could handle for a while.))) Anyway . . . the fast was not as hard as I was geared up for handling. We are such food lovers. Myself included of course . . . I finished Esther, the Bible text, but blew off the Beth Moore homework.  I dunno' why but I was drawn to the book of Job again. Big, BIG SIGH.The first time I read it was 20 plus years ago and I remember getting angry at God FOR JOB! I failed to see the bigger picture and could not come to terms with the long, agonizing read. I cried for Job, as I read the torment that spilled over verse after brutal verse. (**good thing the Book of Psalms follows Job ~ reader needs that exaltation and praise**)I fought that Book and simply denied its existence, because the God I knew would never be so cruel to His most devoted servant. I asked my neighbor what could it mean? How could He? Then, to send Job's so-called friends to accuse him, instead of soothe him (**reminds me of a friend of mine**)  She said that Job had become self-righteous. Was that it? No way, ladies and gentlemen, no way. My God is a God of Love, been taught that all my life and I'm not believing any different just because that Book of Job says God was in league with Satan. During my fast I was led to (**cue the organ in a minor key - dum da dum dum . . . dummm**) return to that Book of Confusion, Calamity and Catastrophe, sooooooo it's time to bite that denial bullet and discover what Job really means to mankind. I'll get it, because I want to get it. Instead of allowing my legalism to interfere with my digestion of the text, I will pray for His clarity and receive the favor of understanding. Hopefully I will get a good at my former review of the Book of Job and come to the real purpose for this epic battle between Jehovah God & Satan/Lucifer.Good man, the Best God had, Satan's attack, poor guy; it came to pass, and Job was restored, beyond his former family and finances.  ** Images For Use By Upgraded+ Only ** 24-hour fast* my fast was prompted by the frustration I am experiencing from my son and Tamra. She's in need of that psychiatrist that she failed to get correct directions for. Now she's booked until 2010. She's bucking and refusing every suggestion that I make and I just had to finally tell her, with budget in hand, that she cannot afford to smoke, hell, even groceries are NOT in the budget. She's applied for food assistance but I can see the handwriting on the wall, it's fallen through the government crack, and she'll have to apply again or give up. I told her that she must hit the food pantries, she's not motivated to do anything but complain and smoke like a demon. She can't breathe now, and is lackadaisical about the breathing treatments. She raised hell with her insurance company about the nebulizer, then when she received it she did not use it. She's lying to me and I'm catching her. More than once! I really hate that! It's many steps backwards. Friday night, she allowed a man, who we all know here, (likable but illegal in his recreational druggin') to drive her car, with her in it and my son's friend Kurt, to a crack house at, are you ready . . . ? M I D N I G H T  I asked her, "had you taken your night meds? She said she had not. "What did you get out of it?" I asked her. She said, "Willie put 2 bucks in my gas tank." I said, "That's not even ONE gallon of gas, PLUSSS, he has a car and so does Kurt, so why are they using your car? Well, I KNOW why, if there is a police stop, Tamra goes downtown and her car will be impounded, cause it's illegal. Inspection sticker and tags and no insurance. Then the shakedown would result in discovery of illicit drugs, then what do you think will happen? I called Kurt yesterday and asked him to come over and he answered some questions I had about last Friday night. I told him to think twice before taking advantage of Tamra and he promised he would. My son does not believe the edict my ex has laid down. He's supposed to be OUT by December 16th. He's supposed to be saving money to move, but the druggin' continues. He was supposed to be out long before his 21st birthday. I was on my own at 18 and so was his Dad. He and I are barely speaking. He was given to my Lord a long time ago so I can rest with all this ugliness. I refuse to allow my son to rob me of my peace, took me too long to get it. Naturally I care and love him. We are doing him no favors by allowing him to stay and drug and take and take and take. I told Cody that these years, NOW, are his Dad's golden years and I was going to make certain that what's left are better than the last five or six have been. I could tell from his face that he, indeed, believed me. > > > > > > > < < < < < < < |
