A Secret Scrolls message from Rhonda Byrne


Creator of The Secret

From The Secret Daily Teachings


It is important to remember that it is your thoughts and feelings together that create with the law of attraction, and you cannot separate them. Also remember that it's your feelings that are summing up your overall frequency and telling you what you are creating in this moment.

So how are you feeling right now? Could you feel better? Well then, do what it takes right now to feel better.

May the joy be with you,

Thought for the Day

Power to Tolerate


To tolerate does not mean to die, but to live in everyone's heart with love. No natter how much against you someone is, even if you have to tolerate not once but ten times, nevertheless, the fruit of the power of tolerance is imperishable and sweet.

Earth Day 2010

Earth Day is a yearly celebration to increase our environmental awareness and to make conscious efforts to save Earth and Mother Nature in general.

As today’s Earth Day celebration, we all need to participate in saving our planet Earth against further devastation by talking “green”. Global warming and climate change has been hunting us ever since we become agents of pollution in our environment causing extreme weather conditions.

However, it is not too late for us to act now to save our planet Earth. We need to conserve water, energy, and take good care of our environment for the benefit of all human beings not only in our generation but also for other succeeding generations ahead of us.

This year, Earth Day 2010 will coincide with the World People’s Conference on Climate Change, to be held in Cochabamba, Bolivia, and with the International Year of Biodiversity. Let us join Google and the rest of the world in celebrating Earth Day 2010.

From The Secret Daily Teachings

Most people don't realize how much passion they put into what they don't want. When you speak to a friend and you tell them all about an "awful" situation, you are putting passion into what you don't want. When you react to an event negatively, with the response that it is "terrible", you are putting passion into what you don't want.

You are a beautiful passionate being, so make sure you direct your passion wisely.

May the joy be with you,

Be kinder than necessary, for everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle

I would rather live my life as if there is a God,

and die to find out there isn't, than live my life

as if there isn't, and die to find out there is.

"Lord, I love you and I need you,
come into my heart, and bless me,
my family, my home, my finances,
and all of my friends,
in Jesus' name. Amen."

Inner Peace

If you can start the day without caffeine,

If you can always be cheerful, ignoring aches and pains,

If you can resist complaining and boring people with your troubles,

If you can eat the same food every day and be grateful for it,

If you can understand when your loved ones are too busy to give you any time,

If you can take criticism and blame without resentment,

If you can conquer tension without medical help,

If you can relax without liquor,

If you can sleep without the aid of drugs,
 
...Then You Are Probably The Family Dog!


And you thought I was going to get all spiritual:)

HAPPY KEISTER!

ALL I NEED TO KNOW ABOUT LIFE


I LEARNED FROM THE EASTER BUNNY

Don't put all of your eggs in one basket

Walk softly and carry a big carrot

Everyone needs a friend who is all ears

There's no such thing as too much candy

All work and no play can make you a basket case

A cute little tail attracts a lot of attention

Everyone is entitled to a bad hare day

Let happy thoughts multiply like rabbits

Some body parts should be floppy

Keep your paws off other people's jellybeans

Good things come in small sugar-coated packages

The grass is always greener in someone else's basket

An Easter bonnet can tame even the wildest hare

To show your true colors you have to come out of your shell

The best things in life are still sweet and gooey !!!

From The Secret Daily Teachings

You cannot bring what you want to you if you are feeling stress. Stress or any tension at all is something you have to remove from your system.

You must let the stress go - it is the only way you can bring what you want. The emotion of stress is saying strongly that you do NOT have what you want. Stress or tension is the absence of faith, and so to remove it all you have to do is increase your faith!

May the joy be with you,

From The Secret Daily Teachings

Write down all the great things about everyone you know. Make a huge list of all the wonderful things about you. Compliment people wherever you go. Praise every single thing you see. Be a ray of sunshine to everyone you meet, and make their day better for having seen you. Say "Thank you" at every turn. Walk, talk, think, and breathe appreciation and gratitude.

When you do this, your outer life will change to reflect your inner state of being.

May the joy be with you,

it only takes a minute....

Please tell ten friends to tell ten today! The Breast Cancer site is having trouble getting enough people to click on their site daily to meet their quota of donating at least one free mammogram a day to an underprivileged woman. It takes less than a minute to go to their site and click on 'donating a mammogram' for free (pink window in the middle).

This doesn't cost you a thing. Their corporate sponsors/advertiser use the number of daily visits to donate mammogram in exchange for advertising.

Here's the web site! Pass it along to people you know.

From The Secret Daily Teachings

Our natural state of being is joy, and it takes so much energy to think negative thoughts, to speak negative words, and to feel miserable. The easy path is good thoughts, good words, and good deeds.

Take the easy path.

Rules from GOD for 2010

1. Wake Up !! Decide to have a good day.
"Today is the day the Lord hath made; let us rejoice and be glad in it" Psalms 118:24

2. Dress Up !! The best way to dress up is to put on a smile. A smile is an inexpensive way to improve your looks. "The Lord does not look at the things man looks at. Man looks at outward appearance; but the Lord looks at the heart." I Samuel 16:7

3 . Shut Up!! Say nice things and learn to listen. God gave us two ears and one mouth, so He must have meant for us to do twice as much listening as talking. "He who guards his lips guards his soul." Proverbs 13:3

4. Stand Up!!..... For what you believe in. Stand for something or you will fall for anything.. "Let us not be weary in doing good; for at the proper time, we will reap a harvest if we do not give up. Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good..."Galatians 6:9-10

5. Look Up !!.. To the Lord.
"I can do everything through Christ who strengthens me."  Philippians 4:13

6. Reach Up !!... For something higher. "Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not unto your own understanding. In all your ways, acknowledge Him, And He will direct your path."  Proverbs 3:5-6

7. Lift Up !!.. Your Prayers. "Do not worry about anything;
Instead PRAY ABOUT EVERYTHING." Philippians 4:6

God answers prayer


VERY SPECIAL DELIVERY

May the Lord open up
The windows of heaven
And pour you a blessing
That you will not have room
Enough to receive it all.
May the Lord bless
You exceedingly and abundantly,
Above all you could ever hope for.

May the Lord bless you
That you may walk in a
Financial overflow.

May you fall in love with Him
For the rest of your days
In the Name of Jesus .

Amen!

Let ' s just see Satan stop this one!

Mars Turns Direct: Turn Plans into Action!

In astrology, Mars is the planet of passion and action. Named after the Roman God of War, it is known as the "red planet," and energy, passion, drive and determination are all within its sphere of influence. This planet commands you (and yes, Mars does rule the military) to stand up, be noticed and get things done!
Sitting on the sidelines belongs somewhere else in the heavens. Simply put, Mars speaks to your personal power and confidence level. Ambition and competition are also within Mars's realm. Martian energy gives us the power to act on our desire and goals -- it lights our inner fires and stokes our passions. Whether it's at work or play, Mars encourages us to face challenges and be our best -- or better. However, Mars's energy can be aggressive and even destructive, so it is up to us to harness this force for positive use.

Mars takes approximately two years to complete its orbit around the zodiac, and has been retrograde in Leo since December 20, 2009. On March 10, it once again resumes its apparent direct motion in Leo.

The Fire signs - Aries, Leo and Sagittarius - will feel the effect of Mars going direct most strongly, as they slam their feet down on the accelerator.

The Air signs - Gemini, Libra and Aquarius - will find that things have started moving faster for them as well.

The Water signs - Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces - will push practical and money-making plans into gear.

The Earth signs - Taurus, Virgo and Capricorn - have Mars hidden at the moment, but they too will find that their longer term plans will start to see movement.

However, we all will feel the full effect of Mars going direct, for depending on which house Mars is currently situated in our birth charts, the arena of our lives ruled by that house will suddenly wake up!

Enlist the energies of your progressed chart to understand where to focus your energies for maximum return. The continual movement of the planets through your life affects the events that shape your future. A progressed chart locates the signs, aspects and house positions for each planet for any given year, telling you how long they will remain in those positions. These changes show you when to act on the potential revealed by your natal chart, as well as when to embrace growth in your life. Awareness of your progressed chart helps you make informed decisions about every aspect of your life.

From The Secret Daily Teachings

Love is the highest power we possess to be in complete harmony with the law of attraction. The more love we feel the greater our power. The more selfless love we feel, the more unfathomable our power.

The law of attraction has been called the law of love, because the law itself is a gift of love to humanity. It is the law by which we can create incredible lives for ourselves.
The more love we feel the greater our power to create a magnificent life of love, joy, and harmony.

May the joy be with you,

PARA LOS CUBANOS DEL MUNDO Y PARA LOS QUE CONOCEN A ALGUN CUBANO;)

Para Todos los Cubanos Donde Quiera Que Se Encuentren - Son Unicos!!


Le preguntaron en una ocasión a un reconocido sabio, Maestro:
¿Qué es un cubano? Su respuesta fue la siguiente:

'Ah.... los cubanos... ¡Qué difícil pregunta!
Los cubanos están entre vosotros pero no son de vosotros.
Los cubanos beben en la misma copa la alegría y la amargura.
Hacen música de su llanto y se ríen de la música.
Toman en serio los chistes y hacen chistes de lo serio. No creen en nadie y creen en todo.
No se les ocurra discutir con ellos jamás! Los cubanos nacen con sabiduría.
No necesitan leer...... ¡Todo lo saben! No necesitan viajar.... ¡Todo lo han visto!
Son algo así como el pueblo escogido... por ellos mismos.
Los cubanos se caracterizan individualmente por su simpatía e inteligencia y en grupos, por su gritería y apasionamiento.
Cada uno de ellos lleva en sí la chispa de los genios y los genios no se llevan bien entre sí, de ahí que reunir> a los cubanos es fácil, pero unirlos es casi imposible.
No se les hable de lógica, pues eso implica razonamiento y mesura y los cubanos son hiperbólicos y exagerados. Por ejemplo, invitan a uno a un restaurante a comer, no nos llevan al mejor restaurante del pueblo sino al mejor restaurante del mundo.
Cuando discuten no dicen: No estoy de acuerdo contigo; sino: Estás completamente equivocado.
Tienen tendencias antropofaguitas.. Así entonces, '¡Se la comió!' es una expresión de admiración y 'comerse un cable' es señal de una situación crítica.
Los cubanos aman tanto la contradicción que llaman 'monstruos' a las mujeres hermosas y 'bárbaros' a los eruditos.
Los cubanos ofrecen soluciones antes de saber el problema. Para ellos nunca hay problemas.
Todos los cubanos saben lo que hay que hacer para eliminar el terrorismo, encauzar a América Latina, eliminar el hambre en Africa, pagar la deuda externa, quién debe ser Presidente y cómo cual quier país puede llegar a ser una potencia mundial.
Ellos no entienden por qué los demás no les entienden, cuando sus ideas son tan sencillas.

¡Ah.... los cubanos... No puedes vivir mucho tiempo con ellos pero es imposible vivir sin ellos!

Ámalos, respétalos y déjalos ser CUBANOS!!!!

PERMISO, PERMISO QUE LLEGARON LOS CUBANOS, A RECOGERSEEEEEE, JAJAJAJAJA.

PERO QUE DIOS BENDIGA A TODOS LOS CUBANOS, LA SAL Y LA PIMIENTA DE LA VIDA.

El Cubano no se vuelve loco: Se le cruzan los cables, tiene guayabitos en la azotea, le patina el coco.

El Cubano no se cansa: Se desguabina, Se descuarijinga, se desmondinga..

El Cubano no ignora a alguien: Lo tira a mondongo..

El Cubano no es culto y lector: Es una polilla..

El Cubano no dice 'toca mal el piano': Dice 'machaca las teclas'

El Cubano no forma una confusión: Forma un arroz con mango..

El Cubano no es ostentoso o pretencioso: Se da lija.

El Cubano no conquista a una mujer: Liga a una jeva.

El Cubano no dice 'come despacio': Dice '¡¡¡Respira niño!!!'

El Cubano no tiene una novia delgada: La novia es un bacalao o un esqueleto rumbero.

El Cubano no sabe la respuesta te dice: 'Me la pusiste en China'.

El Cubano no te dice que hiciste algo excepcional, sino que te dice: 'Te la comiste!'

Treasured Keepers

One day a woman's husband died, and on that clear, cold morning, in the warmth of their bedroom, the wife was struck with the pain of learning that sometimes there isn't "anymore". No more hugs, no more special moments to celebrate together, no more phone calls just to chat, no more "just one minute." Sometimes, what we care about the most gets all used up and goes away, never to return before we can say good-bye, say"I love you."

So while we have it, it's best we love it, care for it, fix it when it's broken and heal it when it's sick. This is true for marriage.....And old cars... And children with bad habits and report cards, and dogs with bad hips, and aging parents and grandparents. We keep them because they are worth it, because we are worth it.

Some things we keep -- like a best friend who moved away or a sister-in-law after divorce. There are just some things that make us happy, no matter what.

Life is important, like people we know who are special.. And so, we keep them close!

Suppose one morning you never wake up, do all your friends know you love them?

I was thinking....I could die today, tomorrow or next week, and I wondered if I had any wounds needing to be healed, friendships that needed rekindling or three words needing to be said...

The Five of Wands

My power today lies in practice. I play fair and can hold my own in against my peers in my chosen arena. I develop confidence, refine my intentions, and make progress by being prepared to put my desires, beliefs, ideas, or skills to the test or put my ""money where my mouth is."" I am empowered by healthy competition and I transform through preparedness.

How to speak Womanese

An Angel Says...

'Never borrow from the future. If you worry about what may happen tomorrow and it doesn't happen, you have worried in vain. Even if it does happen, you have to worry twice.'

1. Pray
2. Go to bed on time.
3. Get up on time so you can start the day unrushed..
4. Say No to projects that won't fit into your time schedule, or that will compromise your physical or mental health.
5. Delegate tasks to capable others.
6. Simplify and unclutter your life.
7. Less is more. (Although one is often not enough, two are often too many.)
8. Allow extra time to do things and to get to places.
9. Pace yourself.. Spread out big changes and difficult projects over time; don't lump the hard things all together.
10. Take one day at a time.
11. Separate worries from concerns . If a situation is a concern, find out what God would have you do and let go of the anxiety . If you can't do anything about a situation, forget it.
12. Live within your budget; don't use credit cards for ordinary purchases.
13. Have backups; an extra car key in your wallet, an extra house key buried in the garden, extra stamps, etc.
14. K.M.S. (Keep Mouth Shut). This single piece of advice can prevent an enormous amount of trouble.
15. Do something for the Kid in You everyday.
16. Carry a Bible with you to read while waiting in line.
17. Get enough rest.
18. Eat right.
19 Get organized so everything has its place.
20. Listen to a tape while driving that can help improve your quality of life. (I recommend The Secret!)
21. Write down thoughts and inspirations.
22. Every day, find time to be alone.
23. Having problems? Talk to God on the spot. Try to nip small problems in the bud. Don't wait until it's time to go to bed to try and pray.
24. Make friends with Godly people.
25. Keep a folder of favorite scriptures on hand.
26. Remember that the shortest bridge between despair and hope is often a good 'Thank you Jesus .'
27. Laugh.
28. Laugh some more!
29. Take your work seriously, but not yourself at all.
30. Develop a forgiving attitude (most people are doing the best they can).
31. Be kind to unkind people (they probably need it the most).
32. Sit on your ego.
33 Talk less; listen more.
34. Slow down!
35. Remind yourself that you are not the general manager of the universe.
36 Every night before bed, think of one thing you're grateful for that you've never been grateful for before. GOD HAS A WAY OF TURNING THINGS AROUND FOR YOU.

'If God is for us, who can be against us?'
(Romans 8:31)

Thank God for what you have. Trust God for what you need.

Nine of Swords

I am not my mistakes. I can't do this alone or pretend any more. The illusion of comfort in denial or sacrifice is no longer mine. There is no shame in my suffering -- no healing in silent self-torment. It is here at the surreal crossroads of the ""soul search"" where dawning truth meets the anguish of overwhelming resistance in mind over matter that I can finally wake up, change my mind, let go of what no longer works or own my losses or choices. I am empowered by intense acknowledgment or epiphany and my virtue is gratitude or relief in recognition.

Priorities, Please

Make a list of what's important to you. Whether you write it down on paper or keep it in mind doesn't matter. What does matter is that you're able to prioritize both tasks and people with an eye toward the future. Don't let anything stand between you and what you want.

Tuesday, March 2, 2010

From The Secret Daily Teachings

Begin your day by feeling grateful. Be grateful for the bed you just slept in, the roof over your head, the carpet or floor under your feet, the running water, the soap, your shower, your toothbrush, your clothes, your shoes, the refrigerator that keeps your food cold, the car that you drive, your job, your friends. Be grateful for the stores that make it so easy to buy the things you need, the restaurants, the utilities, services, and electrical appliances that make your life effortless. Be grateful for the magazines and the books that you read. Be grateful for the chair that you sit on, and the pavement that you walk on. Be grateful for the weather, the sun, the sky, the birds, the trees, the grass, the rain, and the flowers.

Thank you, thank you, thank you!
May the joy be with you,

Some Food for thought: LIVE IT UP!!

HOW TO STAY YOUNG

1. Throw out nonessential numbers. This includes age, weight and height. Let the doctors worry about them. That is why you pay 'them'

2. Keep only cheerful friends. The grouches pull you down.

3. Keep learning. Learn more about the computer, crafts, gardening, whatever. Never let the brain idle. 'An idle mind is the devil's workshop.'

4. Enjoy the simple things.

5. Laugh often, long and loud. Laugh until you gasp for breath.

6. The tears happen. Endure, grieve, and move on. The only person, who is with us our entire life, is ourselves. Be ALIVE while you are alive.

7. Surround yourself with what you love , whether it's family, pets, keepsakes, music, plants, hobbies, whatever. Your home is your refuge.

8. Cherish your health: If it is good, preserve it. If it is unstable, improve it. If it is beyond what you can improve, get help.

9. Don't take guilt trips. Take a trip to the mall, even to the next county; to a foreign country but NOT to where the guilt is.

10. Tell the people you love that you love them, at every opportunity.

AND ALWAYS REMEMBER :

Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.

We all need to live life to its fullest each day!!

Worry about nothing, pray about everything!!!

Men are happier people

MEN ARE JUST HAPPIER PEOPLE!

NICKNAMES
If Laura, Kate and Sarah go out for lunch, they will call each other Laura, Kate and Sarah.
If Mike, Dave and John go out, they will affectionately refer to each other as Fat Boy, Godzilla and Four-eyes.

EATING OUT
When the bill arrives, Mike, Dave and John will each throw in $20, even though it's only for $32.50. None of them will have anything smaller and none will actually admit they want change back.
When the girls get their bill, out come the pocket calculators.

MONEY
A man will pay $2 for a $1 item he needs.
A woman will pay $1 for a $2 item that she doesn't need but it's on sale.

BATHROOMS
A man has six items in his bathroom: toothbrush and toothpaste, shaving cream, razor, a bar of soap, and a towel .
The average number of items in the typical woman's bathroom is 337. A man would not be able to identify more than 20 of these items.

ARGUMENTS
A woman has the last word in any argument.
Anything a man says after that is the beginning of a new argument.

FUTURE
A woman worries about the future until she gets a husband.
A man never worries about the future until he gets a wife.

SUCCESS
A successful man is one who makes more money than his wife can spend.
A successful woman is one who can find such a man.

MARRIAGE
A woman marries a man expecting he will change, but he doesn't.
A man marries a woman expecting that she won't change, but she does.

DRESSING UP
A woman will dress up to go shopping, water the plants, empty the trash, answer the phone, read a book, and get the mail.
A man will dress up for weddings and funerals.

NATURAL
Men wake up as good-looking as they went to bed.
Women somehow deteriorate during the night.

OFFSPRING
Ah, children. A woman knows all about her children. She knows about dentist appointments and romances, best friends, favorite foods, secret fears and hopes and dreams.
A man is vaguely aware of some short people living in the house.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
A married man should forget his mistakes. There's no use in two people remembering the same thing!

Creator of The Secret

From The Secret Daily Teachings

Whatever feelings you have within you are attracting your tomorrow.

Worry attracts more worry. Anxiety attracts more anxiety. Unhappiness attracts more unhappiness. Dissatisfaction attracts more dissatisfaction.

AND . . .
Joy attracts more joy. Happiness attracts more happiness. Peace attracts more peace. Gratitude attracts more gratitude. Kindness attracts more kindness. Love attracts more love.
Your job is an inside one. To change your world, all you have to do is change the way you feel inside. How easy is that?

VIRGOs

VIRGO - The One that Waits


Dominant in relationships. Someone loves them right now. Always wants the last word. Caring. Smart. Loud. Loyal. Easy to talk to. Everything you ever wanted. Easy to please. A pushover. Loves to gamble and take chances. Needs to have the last say in everything.. They think they know everything and usually do. Respectful to others but you will quickly lose their respect if you do something untrustworthy towards them and never regain respect. They do not forgive and never forget. The one and only..

Because of recent abductions

In daylight hours, refresh yourself of these things to do in an emergency situation.....
This is for you, and for you to share with your husband, your children, everyone you know.
After reading these 9 crucial tips, share them with someone you care about.
It never hurts to be careful in this crazy world we live in.

1. Tip from Tae Kwon Do :
The elbow is the strongest point on your body. If you are close enough to use it, do!

2.. Learned this from a tourist guide.
If a robber asks for your wallet and/or purse, DO NOT HAND IT TO HIM. Toss it away from you....
Chances are that he is more interested in your wallet and/or purse than you, and he will go for the wallet/purse. RUN LIKE MAD IN THE OTHER DIRECTION!

3. If you are ever thrown into the trunk of a car, kick out the back tail lights and stick your arm out the hole
and start waving like crazy.. The driver won't see you, but everybody else will. This has saved lives.

4. Women have a tendency to get into their cars after shopping, eating, working, etc., and just sit
(doing their chequebook, or making a list, etc. DON'T DO THIS!) The predator will be watching you, and this is the perfect opportunity for him to get in on the passenger side, put a gun to your head, and tell you where to go. AS SOON AS YOU GET INTO YOUR CAR, LOCK THE DOORS AND LEAVE..
If someone is in the car with a gun to your head DO NOT DRIVE OFF, Repeat: DO NOT DRIVE OFF!
Instead gun the engine and speed into anything, wrecking the car. Your Air Bag will save you. If the person is in the back seat they will get the worst of it . As soon as the car crashes bail out and run. It is better than having them find your body in a remote location.

5. A few notes about getting into your car in a parking lot, or parking garage:
A.) Be aware: look around you, look into your car, at the passenger side floor, and in the back seat
B.) If you are parked next to a big van, enter your car from the passenger door. Most serial killers attack their victims by pulling them into their vans while the women are attempting to get into their cars.
C.) Look at the car parked on the driver's side of your vehicle, and the passenger side... If a male is sitting alone in the seat nearest your car, you may want to walk back into the mall, or work, and get a guard/policeman to walk you back out. IT IS ALWAYS BETTER TO BE SAFE THAN SORRY. (And better paranoid than dead.)
6. ALWAYS take the elevator instead of the stairs. Stairwells are horrible places to be alone and the perfect crime spot. This is especially true at NIGHT!)

7. If the predator has a gun and you are not under his control, ALWAYS RUN! The predator will only hit you (a running target) 4 in 100 times; and even then, it most likely WILL NOT be a vital organ. RUN, Preferably in a zig -zag pattern!

8. As women, we are always trying to be sympathetic: STOP It may get you raped, or killed. Ted Bundy, the serial killer, was a good-looking, well educated man, who ALWAYS played on the sympathies of unsuspecting women. He walked with a cane, or a limp, and often asked 'for help' into his vehicle or with his vehicle, which is when he abducted his next victim.

9. Another Safety Point: Someone just told me that her friend heard a crying baby on her porch the night before last, and she called the police because it was late and she thought it was weird.. The police told her
'Whatever you do, DO NOT open the door..' The lady then said that it sounded like the baby had crawled near a window, and she was worried that it would crawl to the street and get run over. The policeman said, 'We already have a unit on the way, whatever you do, DO NOT open the door.' He told her that they think a serial killer has a baby's cry recorded and uses it to coax women out of their homes thinking that someone
dropped off a baby. He said they have not verified it, but have had several calls by women saying that
they hear baby's cries outside their doors when they're home alone at night.

10. Water scam!
If you wake up in the middle of the night to hear all your taps outside running or what you think is a
burst pipe, DO NOT GO OUT TO INVESTIGATE! These people turn on all your outside taps full ball so that you will go out to investigate and then attack. Stay alert, keep safe, and look out for your neighbours!

Please pass this on

This should probably be taken seriously because the Crying Baby Theory was mentioned on America 's Most Wanted when they profiled the serial killer in Louisiana. I'd like you to forward this to all the women you know.

Send this to any woman you know that may need to be reminded that the world we live in has a lot of crazies in it and it's better to be safe than sorry..

Dancing with God

When I meditated on the word Guidance, 

I kept seeing "dance" at the end of the word.

I remember reading that doing God's will is a lot like dancing.

When two people try to lead, nothing feels right.

The movement doesn't flow with the music,

and everything is quite uncomfortable and jerky.

When one person realizes that, and lets the other lead,

both bodies begin to flow with the music.

One gives gentle cues, perhaps with a nudge to the back

or by pressing Lightly in one direction or another.

It's as if two become one body, moving beautifully.

The dance takes surrender, willingness,

and attentiveness from one person

and gentle guidance and skill from the other.

My eyes drew back to the word Guidance.

When I saw "G": I thought of God, followed by "u" and "i".

"God, "u" and "i" dance."

God, you, and I dance.

As I lowered my head, I became willing to trust

that I would get guidance about my life.

Once again, I became willing to let God lead.

My prayer for you today is that God's blessings

and mercies are upon you on this day and everyday.

May you abide in God, as God abides in you.

Dance together with God, trusting God to lead

and to guide you through each season of your life.

This prayer is powerful and there is nothing attached.        

If God has done anything for you in your life,

please share this message with someone else.

There is no cost but a lot of rewards;

so let's continue to pray for one another.

And I Hope You Dance Through 2010!

Tuesday, January 19, 2010

If God brings you to it, He will bring you through it

Happy moments, praise God


Difficult moments, seek God

Quiet moments, worship God         

Painful moments, trust God

Every moment, thank God .......

Cubans are Cubans!

St. Peter came to the Lord and said: "I have to talk to you".We have some Cubans up here who are causing problems. My flute is missing, mojo sauce is all over the place, they are making guayaberas from their robes,they have domino tables in the cafeteria,and they are wearing baseball caps instead of their halos. They refuse to stop making Cuban coffee on the heaven's stairs and some of them are walking around with just one wing.

The Lord said:"Cubans are Cubans,Peter. Heaven is home to all my children. If you want to know about real problems,ask the Devil".

Peter calls;the Devil answers the phone:"Hello?.. Damn,... hold on a minute !. "The Devil returns to the phone O.K. I'm back.What can I do for you? Peter replies I just want to know what kind of problems you're having down there? The Devil again says hold on, hold on............. The Devil comes back to the phone .......... Man ! I don't believe this.......Hold on ! This time the Devil is gone for 15 minutes. The Devil returns and says: "I'm sorry Peter ,I can't talk right now.Those damn Cubans have put out the fire and are trying to install air conditioning !!!"

The Waves of Hawaii


Waimea Bay shore-break surfing pioneer, husband, and father of two, Clark Little has gained nationwide recognition for his photography with appearances on Good Morning America, Inside Edition, and many local news stations across the U.S.

Clark Little on Good Morning America (2009):
It all started in 2007 when Clark 's wife wanted a nice piece of art to decorate a wall.
Voluntarily, Clark grabbed a camera, jumped in the water, and starting snapping away capturing the beauty and power of monstrous Hawaiian waves from the inside out.

" Clark 's view" is a unique view of the ocean that most will only be able to experience safely on land while studying one of Clark 's photos.  Now with a camera upgrade and an itch to get that better shot, Clark has taken this on full time and has moved his office from land, to the inside of a barrel. Since the recent stir of Clark 's work, his images have been run on the Today Show, ABC World News Now, Nature's Best Photography, Paris Match (France), La Vie (France), Hana Hou (Hawaiian Airlines) magazine, Surfer magazine, Surfer's Journal as well as multiple publishers and newspapers in the U.S. and overseas.

These incredible images of waves in the Hawaiian Islands were taken by Clark Little, the number one photographer of surf.  He is dedicated to photographing the waves and has published a selection of his best images.


He captures magical moments inside the tube as surfers say.

This shot captures sand from the ocean's floor being swept up by a monstrous wave and resembles a sandstorm.

Little calls it the Sandmonster.
There were clouds of sand ten feet high and I'm standing there.

I'm holding on to my camera and my trigger as long as I can. Then I have to jump into the cloud of sand to try to get out of danger's way. His fans pay as much as $4,000 for his gorgeous photos.

Living in 2009

YOU KNOW YOU ARE LIVING IN 2009 when...
1. You accidentally enter your password on the microwave.
2 You haven't played solitaire with real cards in years.
3. You have a list of 15 phone numbers to reach your family of 3.
4. You e-mail the person who works at the desk next to you.
5. Your reason for not staying in touch with friends and family is that they don't have e-mail addresses.
6. You pull up in your own driveway and use your cell phone to see if anyone is home to help you carry in the groceries.
7. Every commercial on television has a web site at the bottom of the screen.
8. Leaving the house without your cell phone, which you didn't have the first 20 or 30 (or 60) years of your life, is now a cause for panic and you turn around to go and get it.
10. You get up in the morning and go on line before getting your coffee.
11. You start tilting your head sideways to smile. : )
12 You're reading this and nodding and laughing.
13. Even worse, you know exactly to whom you are going to forward this message.
14. You are too busy to notice there was no #9 on this list.
15. You actually scrolled back up to check that there wasn't a #9 on this list

AND NOW YOU ARE LAUGHING at yourself.

Tiger Woods Holiday Poem

Twas the night of Thanksgiving and out of the house
Tiger Woods came a flyin' . . . chased by his spouse.
She wielded a nine iron and wasn't too merry,
Cause a bimbo's phone number was in his Blackberry.
He'd been cheatin' on Elin, and the story progressed.
Woman after woman stepped up and confessed.
He'd been cheatin' with Holly, and Jaimee, and Cori,
With Joselyn, and Kalika . .. . the world had the story.
From the top of the Tour to the basement of blues,
Tiger's sad sordid tale was all over the news.
With hostesses, waitresses, he had lots of sex,
When not in their pants, he was sendin' them texts.
Despite all his cryin' and beggin' and pleadin',
Tiger's wife went investin' . . . a new home in Sweden.
And I heard her exclaim from her white Escalade,
"If you're gettin' laid then I'm gettin' paid."
She's not pouting, in fact, she is of jolly good cheer,
Her prenup made Christmas come early this year.

Gotta joke about this bastard!

It is near the Christmas break of the school year. The students have turned in all their work and there is really nothing more to do. All the children are restless and the teacher decides to have an early dismissal.

Teacher: "Whoever answers the questions I ask, first and correctly can leave early today."
Little Johnny says to himself "Good, I want to get outta here. I'm smart and will answer the question."

Teacher: "Who said 'Four Score and Seven Years Ago'?"
Before Johnny can open his mouth, Susie says, "Abraham Lincoln."
Teacher: "That's right Susie, you can go home."

Johnny is mad that Susie answered the question first.
Teacher: "Who said 'I Have a Dream'?"
Before Johnny can open his mouth, Mary says, "Martin Luther King."
Teacher: "That's right Mary, you can go."

Johnny is even madder than before.
Teacher: "Who said 'Ask not, what your country can do for you'?"
Before Johnny can open his mouth, Nancy says, "John F. Kennedy."
Teacher: "That's right Nancy, you may also leave."

Johnny is boiling mad that he has not been able to answer to any of the questions.

When the teacher turns her back Johnny says, "I wish these bitches would keep their mouths shut!"
The teacher turns around: "NOW WHO SAID THAT?"
Johnny: "TIGER WOODS. CAN I GO NOW?"

CHILDREN’S WISDOM

1. She was in the bathroom, putting on her makeup, under the watchful eyes of her young granddaughter, as she'd done many times before. After she applied her lipstick and started to leave, the little one said, "But Gramma, you forgot to kiss the toilet paper good-bye!" I will probably never put lipstick on again without thinking about kissing the toilet paper good bye. . .

2. My young grandson called the other day to wish me "Happy Birthday." He asked me how old I was, and I told him, 62. My grandson was quiet for a moment, and then he asked, "Did you start at 1?"

3. After putting her grandchildren to bed, a grandmother changed into old slacks and a droopy blouse and proceeded to wash her hair. As she heard the children getting more and more rambunctious, her patience grew thin. Finally, she threw a towel around her head and stormed into their room, putting them back to bed with stern warnings. As she left the room, she heard the three-year-old say with a trembling voice, "Who was THAT?"

4. A grandmother was telling her little granddaughter what her own childhood was like: "We used to skate outside on a pond. I had a swing made from a tire; it hung from a tree in our front yard. We rode our pony. We picked wild raspberries in the woods." The little girl was wide-eyed, taking this all in. At last she said, "I sure wish I'd gotten to know you sooner!"

5. My grandson was visiting one day when he asked, "Grandma, do you know how you and God are alike?' I mentally polished my halo and I said, "No, how are we alike?" "You're both old," he replied.

6. A little girl was diligently pounding away on her grandfather's word processor. She told him she was writing a story. "What's it about" he asked. "I don't know," she replied. "I can't read."

7. I didn't know if my granddaughter had learned her colors yet, so I decided to test her. I would point out something and ask what color it was. She would tell me and was always correct. It was fun for me, so I continued. At last, she headed for the door, saying, "Grandma, I think you should try to figure out some of these yourself!"

8. When my grandson Billy and I entered our vacation cabin, we kept the lights off until we were inside to keep from attracting pesky insects. Still, a few fireflies followed us in. Noticing them before I did, Billy whispered, "It's no use, Grandpa. Now the mosquitoes are coming after us with flashlights."

9. When my grandson asked me how old I was, I teasingly replied, "I'm not sure." "Look in your underwear, Grandpa," he advised, "mine says I'm 4 to 6."

10. A second grader came home from school and said to her grandmother, "Grandma, guess what, we learned how to make babies today." The grandmother, more than a little surprised, tried to keep her cool. "That's interesting," she said, "how do you make babies?" "It's simple," replied the girl. "You just change 'y' to 'i' and add 'es'."

11. Children's Logic: "Give me a sentence about a public servant," said a teacher. The small boy wrote: "The fireman came down the ladder pregnant." The teacher took the lad aside to correct him. "Don't you know what pregnant means" she asked. "Sure," said the young boy confidently. "It means carrying a child."

12. A grandfather was delivering his grandchildren to their home one day when a fire truck zoomed past. Sitting in the front seat of the fire truck was a Dalmatian dog. The children started discussing the dog's duties. "They use him to keep crowds back," said one child. "No," said another. "He's just for good luck." A third child brought the argument to a close. "They use the dogs," she said firmly, "to find the fire hydrants."

13. A 6-year-old was asked where his grandma lived. "Oh," he said, "she lives at the airport, and when we want her, we just go get her. Then, when we're done having her visit, we take her back to the airport."

14. Grandpa is the smartest man on earth! He teaches me good things, but I don't get to see him enough to get as smart as him.

15. My grandparents are funny when they bend over. You hear gas leaks, and they blame their dog.

Always a good reminder to check our receipts especially during holidays

It happened at Wal-Mart (Supercenter Store #1279, 10411 N Freeway 45, Houston, TX 77037 a month ago. Someone bought a bunch of stuff, over $150, & she glanced at her receipt as the cashier was handing her the bags. She saw a cash-back of $40. She told her she didn't request a cash back & to delete it. She said she'd have to take the $40 because she couldn't delete it. She told her to call a supervisor. Supervisor came & said she'd have to take it. She said NO! Taking the $40 would be a cash advance against her Discover card & she wasn't paying interest on a cash advance!!!!! If they couldn't delete it then they would have to delete the whole order. So the supervisor had the cashier delete the whole order & re-scan everything! The second time she looked at the electronic pad before she signed & a cash-back of $20 popped up. At that point she told the cashier & she deleted it. The total came out right. The cashier agreed that the electronic pad must be defective. Obviously the cashier knew the electronic pad was "defective" because she NEVER offered her the $40 at the beginning. Can you imagine how many people went through before her & at the end of her shift how much money she pocketed? Just to alert everyone. My co worker went to Milford, DE Wal-Mart last week. She had her items rung up by the cashier. The cashier hurried her along and didn't give her a receipt. She asked the cashier for a receipt and the cashier was annoyed and gave it to her. My co worker didn't look at her receipt until later that night. The receipt showed that she asked for $20 cash back. SHE DID NOT ASK FOR CASH BACK! My co-worker called Wal-Mart who investigated but could not see the cashier pocket the money. She then called her niece who works for the bank and her niece told her this. This is a new scam going on. The cashier will key in that you asked for cash back and then hand it to her friend who is the next person in line.

Please, please, please check your receipts right away when using credit or debit cards!
This is NOT limited to Wal-Mart, although they are the largest retailer so they have the most incidents!

Always Moving......

By its very nature, life is dynamic. That makes it impossible to truly stand still.
If you're not moving forward, you're falling behind. So every day, in some way or another, take action to move your life forward.

Just a small improvement, just a subtle positive step, is infinitely preferable to doing nothing. Always, there is
some little something you can do to better your life and your world.
What can you do right now to solve a problem that's been frustrating you? What step can you take in the next few minutes that will bring you closer to the accomplishment of an important goal?

There is something you can do, and those small efforts quickly add up as time goes on. So instead of complaining that you can't get it all accomplished at once, do a little bit, and then do it again.

Always, your life is filled with energy, and is moving in one direction or another. Harness that energy, align it with your highest purpose, and proceed constantly in the direction of your dreams.

WHILE YELLING 'WOO -HOO!' IS TRULY THE SEXIEST DANCE MOVE AROUND.

3. WE'VE SUDDENLY DECIDED THAT WE WANT TO KICK SOMEONE'S ASS AND HONESTLY BELIEVE WE COULD DO IT TOO.

4. IN OUR LAST TRIP TO PEE, WE REALIZE THAT WE NOW LOOK MORE LIKE A

5. WE START CRYING AND TELLING EVERYONE WE SEE THAT WE LOVE THEM SOOOOO
MUCH...

6. WE GET EXTREMELY EXCITED AND JUMP UP AND DOWN EVERY TIME A NEW SONG
PLAY'S BECAUSE 'OH MY GOD! I LOVE THIS SONG!'

7. WE'VE FOUND A DEEPER/SPIRITUAL SIDE TO THE GEEK SITTING NEXT TO US.

8. WE'VE SUDDENLY TAKEN UP SMOKING AND BECOME REALLY GOOD AT IT.

LEMONADE, BUT THAT'S JUST BECAUSE WE CAN NO LONGER TASTE THE CHARDONNAY.

10. WE THINK WE ARE IN BED, BUT OUR PILLOW FEELS STRANGELY LIKE THE
KITCHEN FLOOR (or the mop ... OR THE BATHMAT ?)

11. WE FAIL TO NOTICE THAT THE TOILET LID'S DOWN WHEN WE SIT ON IT.

12. WE TAKE OUR SHOES OFF BECAUSE WE BELIEVE IT'S THEIR FAULT THAT WE'RE
HAVING PROBLEMS WALKING STRAIGHT.
 
And Remember...'A clean house is the sign of a wasted life!'  :)

Good Things to Know!

DID YOU KNOW?

Peel a banana from the bottom and you won't have to pick the little 'stringy things' (banana zippers) off it. That's how the primates do it.

Take your bananas apart when you get home from the store. If you leave them connected at the stem, they ripen faster.

Store your opened chunks of cheese in aluminum foil. It will stay fresh much longer and not mold!

Peppers with 3 bumps on the bottom are sweeter and better for eating.

Peppers with 4 bumps on the bottom are firmer and better for cooking.

Add a teaspoon of water when frying ground beef. It will help pull the grease away from the meat while cooking.

To really make scrambled eggs or omelets rich add a couple of spoonfuls of sour cream, cream cheese, or heavy cream; then beat them.

Add garlic immediately to a recipe if you want a light taste of garlic and at the end of the recipe if your want a stronger taste of garlic.

Reheat Pizza
Heat leftover pizza in a nonstick skillet on top of the stove; set heat to med-low and heat till warm. This keeps the crust crispy. No soggy micro pizza. I saw this on the food channel and it really works.

Easy Deviled Eggs
Put cooked egg yolks in a zip lock bag. Seal; mash till they are all broken up. Add remainder of ingredients, reseal, keep mashing it up mixing thoroughly, cut the tip of the baggy; squeeze mixture into egg. Just throw bag away when done - easy clean up.

Reheating refrigerated bread
To warm biscuits, pancakes, or muffins that were refrigerated, place them in a microwave next to a cup of water. The increased moisture will keep the food moist and help it reheat faster.

Newspaper weeds away
Start putting torn newspaper in your plants, work the nutrients in your soil. Wet newspapers, put layers around the plants, overlapping as you go; cover with mulch and forget about weeds. Weeds will get through some gardening plastic; they will not get through wet newspapers.

Broken Glass
Use a wet cotton ball or Q-tip to pick up the small shards of glass you can't see easily.

Flexible vacuum
To get something out of a heat register or under the fridge add an empty paper towel roll or empty gift wrap roll to your vacuum. It can be bent or flattened to get in narrow openings.

Reducing Static Cling
Pin a small safety pin to the seam of your slip and you will not have a clingy skirt or dress. Same thing works with slacks that cling when wearing panty hose. Place pin in seam of slacks and ... ta da! .... static is gone.

Measuring Cups
Before you pour sticky substances into a measuring cup, fill with hot water. Dump out the hot water, but don't dry cup. Next, add your ingredient (peanut butter, honey, etc.) and watch how easily it comes right out..

Foggy Windshield?
Hate foggy windshields? Buy a chalkboard eraser and keep it in the glove box of your car When the windows fog, rub with the eraser! Works better than a cloth!

Reopening envelope
If you seal an envelope and then realize you forgot to include something inside, just place your sealed envelope in the freezer for an hour or two. Viola! It unseals easily.

Conditioner
Use your hair conditioner or vitamin E cream to shave your legs. It's cheaper than shaving cream and leaves your legs really smooth.  It's also a great way to use up the conditioner you bought but didn't like when you tried it in your hair.

Goodbye Fruit Flies
To get rid of pesky fruit flies, take a small glass, fill it 1/2 with Apple Cider Vinegar and 2 drops of dish washing liquid; mix well. You will find those flies drawn to the cup and gone forever!

Get Rid of Ants
Put small piles of cornmeal where you see ants. They eat it, take it 'home,' can't digest it so it kills them. It may take a week or so, especially if it rains, but it works and you don't have the worry about pets or small children being harmed!

INFO ABOUT CLOTHES DRYERS THIS IS ABOUT THE BEST HINT EVER HEARD......
The heating unit went out on my dryer! The gentleman that fixes things around the house for us told us that he wanted to show us something and he went over to the dryer and pulled out the lint filter. It was clean. (I always clean the lint from the filter after every load of clothes.) He took the filter over to the sink and ran hot water over it.  The lint filter is made of a mesh material . I'm sure you know what your dryer's lint filter looks like. Well .... the hot water just sat on top of the mesh! It didn't go through it at all! He told us that dryer sheets cause a film over that mesh - that's what burns out the heating unit. You can't SEE the film, but it's there. It's what is in the dryer sheets to make your clothes soft and static free. You know how they can feel waxy when you take them out of the box ... well this stuff builds up on your clothes and on your lint screen.
This is also what causes dryer units to potentially burn your house down with it! He said the best way to keep your dryer working for a very long time (and to keep your electric bill lower) is to take that filter out and wash it with hot soapy water and an old toothbrush at least every three months. He said that increases the life of the dryer at least twice as long! How about that ! ! Learn something new everyday! I certainly didn't know dryer sheets would do that. So, I thought I'd share! Note: I went to my dryer and tested my screen by running water on it. The water ran through a little bit but mostly collected all the water in the mesh screen.
I washed it with warm soapy water and a nylon brush and I had it done in 30 seconds. Then when I rinsed it .... the water ran right thru the screen! There wasn't any puddling at all! That repairman knew what he was talking about!

Golden Buddha Fountain


"Nothing in the world is as soft and yielding as the water from a fountain. Yet for dissolving the hard and inflexible, nothing can surpass the fountain."
- Lao-Tze, Ancient Chinese Philosopher

Feng Shui, the Sacred Secret of the Orient


A fountain is considered the symbol of our life force. It represents moving water and this has what the Chinese call strong chi, which means energy. The ancient Chinese art of Feng Shui is the great secret of the orient. It is the art of placement that allows you to acheive your goals by arranging objects in your home.

In Feng Shui, a fountain influences wealth in your life, because water plays such a vital role in nature. It nourishes the growth of all our food and fuel sources. Its constant motion is symbolic of the vitality of life itself. Without it, we could not live. So it's no coincidence that the Palace of Versailles, Buckingham Palace and all the stately homes the world over have water fountains.

People all over the world are turning to the Lucky powers of Buddha to get a winning life...

Lucky Winners in a Wisconsin lottery had a statue of Buddha in a Locker and rubbed it for Good Luck...$208 Million Dollars later...

A Southern Suburban Family Won $2.2 Million. The Secret...rubbing the ticket on their Lucky Buddha!
Margaret Shearer scooped the $1 Million Jackpot at lunchtime. Her secret?...A miniature Buddha in her handbag!

Some people drift through life missing incredible opportunities

You may know, that Buddha means "one who is enlightened." And it's only by being truly open to new ideas that we are led to success. This is why bringing the Buddha Fountain of Wealth into your life is so perfect, because the gifts you have will enable you to embrace the possibility of success.  You may already know that there are a staggering amount of millionaires and billionaires sweeping through China. It's such a fascinating phenomenon that it was only when I began delving into why this was happening that the answer was suddenly there, staring me in the face... The Power of the Buddha.

But How Does Buddha Bring Me Success and Wealth?


You don't have to become a Buddhist to attract success and happiness into your life. All you have to do is have his extraordinary presence in your home. Your Fountain will be like a key that will unlock your full potential so you may realize the unique and exceptional individual you are!

There are many reasons why Buddha has been associated with good luck and wealth. One is because his presence in your home helps you to live mindfully, and as soon as we do this, everything in our lives falls into place.

The most valuable gift the Buddha will nurture within you is the ability to live in the present. You'll take time to enjoy experiences that you normally rush through, whether it's taking a walk or having a conversation. The Golden Buddha Fountain will remind you that every second of your life is to be nurtured and cherished because that is the meaning of living.

The Fountain Contains Buddha's Precious Symbols Representing Luck, Power, and Prosperity


When you gaze upon the Golden Buddha Fountain you will realize that the Buddha figure itself is surrounded by his precious symbols of luck, power and prosperity.

Over his shoulders Buddha carries an ancient symbol of Good Fortune: The Ruyi. Composed of two parts - the head in the shape of a heart, and a long handle in the shape of a flat "S" - the Ruyi is a magical symbol of power and wealth. Its power is magnified here by the gold coins that hang from either end.

The Buddha sits with his Enchanted Bag lying before him as it cradles the Chakra Energy Globe. Buddha's Enchanted Bag comes with the legend that you can fill it with your financial worries and troubles and they will magically transform into a never-ending supply of money, luck, and happiness.

And next to the Enchated Bag are the "Yuen Boa" or Gold Ingots. These were used by the Chinese emperors as money or symbols of wealth, which attract powerful energies of prosperity to you.
And the final symbol is Buddha's Big Belly itself, which according to Chinese tradition is significant, because rubbing it can bring wealth and good luck and make your wishes come true.
The Fountain Is Your Sanctuary...

This life we've been given goes by so quickly that each moment is precious. Whenever you feel yourself speeding through life or experiencing negativity, rub your Buddha. Its powers will surge through you, reinforcing your amazing attributes, and keeping you always mindful, centered and calm.

Soon, your connection with your Fountain will become unconscious, as the full force of its luminous power will be reflected in everything you do, and everyone will want to bathe in your glowing vitality.

Such is the positive influence of the Buddha that hearing the water, and from time to time rubbing the Buddha to summon good luck and prosperity, can have a profound effect on your life.

A Spinning Wheel of Light and Energy


In Eastern thought, the Chakras are seen as levels of consciousness and states of the soul. They are essentially energy centers, and it's only by keeping them unblocked and freely flowing that we can live our lives at our highest potential.

The word "Chakra" comes from Sanskrit and means wheel. Thus the Chakras are often referred to as the Wheels of Life. They are like spinning wheels of energy in constant motion and, like all things in our reality, they're linked to light, sound and color. The Chakra energy globe that comes with your Buddha Fountain of Wealth represents the 6th Chakra, located between the eyebrows. This is the gateway to your higher self and the pure receptor of divine wisdom and inspiration.

This Chakra energy globe stays perfectly balanced on the fountain's flow of water and it will help release the divine energy through your 6th Chakra, leaving it clear and unblocked. If ever you feel that your energy is not flowing, focus on this globe of white light. Visualize its revitalizing white energy coursing through your body. This way your transformation will be a smooth and fluid path to great personal and spiritual wealth.

A Kept Woman

I Am a 'Kept ' Woman


You see, there were a few times when I thought I would lose my mind,

But GOD kept me sane. (Isa. 26:3)

There were times when I thought I could go no longer,

But the LORD kept me moving. (Gen 28:15)

At times, I've wanted to lash out at those whom I felt had done me wrong,

But the LORD kept my mouth shut.. (Psa. 13)

Sometimes, I think the money just isn't enough,

But GOD has helped me to keep the lights on, the water on, the car paid, the house paid, etc.., (Matt. 6:25 -34)

When I thought I would fall, HE kept me up.

When I thought I was weak, HE kept me strong! (I Pet. 5:7, Matt. 11:28-30)

I could go on and on and on, but I'm sure you hear me!

I'm blessed to be 'kept '

Do you know a 'kept ' woman?

I'm "Kept" by the Love and Grace of God

Joke for the day :) (funny)

Whatever you give a woman, she will make greater.

If you give her sperm, she'll give you a baby.
If you give her a house, she'll give you a home.
If you give her groceries, she'll give you a meal.
If you give her a smile, she'll give you her heart.
She multiplies and enlarges what is given to her.
So, if you give her any crap, be ready
to receive a ton of shit.

Why get married? in 2009...



In today's world, is marriage still relevant? Unlike a hundred years ago, a couple today can live together without getting married. What are they missing?

Marriage is more relevant today than ever before in history. Marriage used to be a given. Now it is a choice. All the old arguments for marriage have fallen away, and we are left with only one true reason to get married. We can finally get married for the right reason.

What were once good reasons to get married are largely irrelevant today. Here are four classic reasons to get married:

So we can live together.  As you pointed out in your question, this reason no longer applies to the many couples who live happily together without getting married.

So we can have children. Again, it is possible to have children and be wonderful parents without getting married.

To make a solid commitment. That's a charming one. We are getting married to make it harder to walk away from each other. How romantic.

To make our relationship official. You could achieve that by placing an announcement in the newspaper saying, "We are now official." You don't need a caterer to serve gazpacho soup in a ballroom just to make it official.

So what are we left with? If not to live together, to start a family, to make a commitment or to make it official, why get married?

There's only one reason.

Marriage makes a relationship divine. Getting married means that something bigger than both of you is bringing you together. A wedding achieves something that simply can't happen otherwise -God is introduced into the relationship.


Until they are married, a couple's commitment to each other is a human commitment, with all the limitations of being human. We can't see the future, we can't know what may change and what may eventuate, and we make mistakes. The blessings made under God's name upon the couple, and bring God into the union as a partner. You are married not just because you chose to be, but because God has said so.

Without God you can have love, commitment and family -- but it isn't holy. Only by standing under God and marrying according to tradition does your union become sacred. Only after the wedding is your love blessed with the divine imprint of eternity.

(Oprah.com) -- You may think that you and your fiancé have talked about everything...but have you discussed the issues that will make your marriage work? Author Susan Piver reveals the questions you and your partner should answer before you say "I do."
