Good Friday...
"For God so loved the world that he gave His only begotten son that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish but have everlasting life." John 3:16
The Passion film clips are so vivid but true. The song is the Via Dolorosa. May this touch your heart as it has touched so many.
Blessings to you this Good Friday!
Check This Out For Real American Spirit...
Sarah Palin will host Real American Stories on April 4, 2010 on the Fox News Channel. I watched this video clip and love it. It is so nice to see real American every day people who have overcome. How refreshing it is.

An Explanation...
If an explanation is in order... here it is. I always did love Johnny Cash's voice. It was a nice clear bass. I will probably share a few of his songs when they seem appropriate. He did make a turn around towards the end of his life. I think his & June's trip to the Holy Land affected them a lot.
Here's hoping you enjoy the songs that I share.
I Love Books...
I love books and I am always looking for books to add to my library. No, I don't read all of them from cover to cover because some of them are reference as well as how-to and cook books.
I found this site that has some out of print books. I know how frustrating it is to look and look for an out of print book. Anyway, it's a neat site. I just thought I'd share the site with you.

The Groundhog Saw His Shadow...
Great News... the groundhog saw his shadow this morning! Punxsutawney Phil saw his shadow and we can now officially say, "we have six more weeks of winter." It is nice to have something official like this to count on. lol!
Where I live here in Ohio, the ground is covered in snow, so, I'm liking it real well. If it's going to be winter... let it snow!
Got Coffee?...
Got coffee and garden catalogs. I'm having a wonderful time looking over what is possible for my new and upcoming garden year. We are so blessed in America to be able to grow such an abundance of different vegetables, fruits, trees and flowers. Of course, we don't have time, space or money to do it all, but it sure is fun to look at and plan what we can do.

Thoughts on Election Years...
This is one of my thoughts of election years... why do they have to run into each other? It seems like life is one big election constantly. The news just goes on and on and on with it. We have several survey calls weekly. Everyone wants money.
I know we need good leaders and I'm 100% for it, but I do not want to read, eat, drink and hear candidates, elections and politics forever and ever. Enough already!
One of my New year's resolutions is to take it with a more balance aspect. Limited news and limited comments. I know what I believe and all I need to know is who stands for that same belief system. I'm very conservative and very patriotic to the USA. I just want to live a politics free life and then vote on election day. The constant contacts are becoming an issue to a lot of us.
That doesn't mean sticking your head in the sand... it just means getting everything in perspective and it's rightful place in my daily life. Enjoy the things that matter most God, Family and my work.
I do believe this one thing... Prayer changes things and God expects us to pray for our leaders, our country and then vote for those who will make it a good country.

Life Is A Burning Candle...
I like this quote from George Bernard Shaw, "Life is no brief candle to me. It is like a splendid torch which I have got hold of for a moment, and I want to make it burn as bright as possible before I hand it on to future generations."
As we start this new year, we can purpose to have the goal of being a life burning candle that makes a difference in the world. Whatever we do, whether we shine only as a good Christian, or shine using one of the gifts that God has given us, we need to shine and make a difference.

Christmas Week Is Here...
The week of Christmas has finally arrived. We're making final purchases 
and preparation for Christmas Eve and Christmas day. Some of us have family traveling and others are just waiting for the days to arrive so that we can get together and enjoy the blessings of being together to celebrate Jesus birth.
and preparation for Christmas Eve and Christmas day. Some of us have family traveling and others are just waiting for the days to arrive so that we can get together and enjoy the blessings of being together to celebrate Jesus birth.To me, this has been one of the best, most relaxed Christmas seasons in a while. I haven't felt rushed or as stressed as some. Maybe, age has something to do with it. It has surely been a blessed time of giving and sharing with others.
Have a blessed Christmas week...-
The Fourth Sunday of Advent 2009...
Today, we light the third purple candle (we will now have 3 purple and one pink candle burning). This is the candle of peace.
"For unto us a son is given, and the government shall be upon His shoulder, and His name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The Mighty God, The Everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace."
-Isaiah 9:6

Why Do Men Make It So Complicated?...
This Christmas season as we think on the real meaning of Christmas and the prophetic Christ child who came in answer to the salvation of men, we sometimes wonder... why do men make it so complicated? It is such a simple salvation message... a child is born, grew, became a man, was crucified and rose again that we might accept him as savior and have eternal life. So simple, so wonderful a gift!
We are so blessed!

The New Media...
I like the New Media, as so many call it. It gives so many people the opportunity to voice their opinions with not only news organizations, but with blogs and web sites. It is truly the voice of America! Before, it was evident that it was censored news and we got to hear and see what a few wanted us to hear and see. Now, we hear from so many sources and voices. We can choose who we want to read, listen to and follow. We don't have to read or look at what we don't want to because there are more choices.
This is a good thing... true freedom of the press and expression.

Christmas is for Celebrating Real Joys...
You might not think much of it, but Christmas is for celebrating real joys in life. We have so much to be thankful for... family, friends, jobs, food, clothing, homes and a free country. We are so blessed and we should be joyful!
What I'm trying to say is this... look at what you have, not, what you don't have. We Americans are pioneers, with many successes and we will always strive to make things better. We don't have to follow the mess that the news puts in front of us today. So many leaders, movie stars, sports figures and others have their lives in a total unsatisfied mess. Publicity seekers who will do anything to get noticed. Don't follow the losers in life... find real leaders who have got it together. Follow those who have found true satisfaction in living and giving. The choice is each of ours!

I have not the smallest interest in any holiday,
except as it celebrates
real and not pretended joys!
