Healthcare

The health care industry is one field that will keep needing employees.  People are always needing health care and therefore jobs in this field will be around for quite awhile.  Once people heal, they need therapy to get back on their feet and assume responsible positions in the community.  The hospitals are hard at work and need assistance to keep certain positons filled.  You can click on the link listed and look for  Therapists Jobs   when you become qualified.

Scriptures

These six things doth the Lord hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him:
A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood, an heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief, A false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren.
Proverbs 6:16-19

Pools

This time of the year, we have drained our pools and are waiting for the spring to arrive so, we can fill them once again and have everything serviced, ready for the coming summer.  It is necessary to find a good  Pool Cover  to protect the water once it has been shocked and readied.  Many leaves and dirt fall into the pool and cause the water to ruin.  A good cover can help protect your vital parts that are included with your pools servicing on a monthly basis.

2012 Is Coming.......

As we search our thoughts about, this past year and remind ourselves of things, gone by. Let us also look forward to the coming year with hope and love in our hearts, as we reach a milestone and move on to another. Remember the one's we've lost and the one's yet to come, for our future depends on the new one's that come to us from now on. God bless you all and may you have wonderful peace, this coming year, no matter what we may face.
God's peace and love to you my friends and readers.......

Pins

 There a certain reasons to wear lapel pins, and I'm sure that you find yourself looking at these on a daily basis.  Some  custom lapel pins  tell you a person's preference when it comes to religion, sex, origins and even company status's.   I've often wanted to purchase an "American Flag" lapel pin to wear on certain holiday's.  It would be nice to have certain other pins, that affiliate with my religious beliefs.  You can find almost any type of lapel pin at the above link.  I am sure they would welcome your custom design requests.

A Virgin

Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying, Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us. Then Joseph being raised from sleep did as the angel of the Lord had bidden him, and took unto him his wife: And knew her not till she had brought forth her firstborn son: and he called his name JESUS.
Matthew 1:22-25
Prayer is one of the best free gifts we receive. There is no cost, just a lot of reward. Make sure you pray, and pray believing God will answer. May today be all you need it to be. May the peace of God and the freshness of the Holy Spirit rest in your thoughts, rule in your dreams tonight, and conquer all your fears. May God manifest himself today in ways you have never experienced? May your joys be fulfilled, your dreams be closer, and your prayers be answered. I pray that faith enters a new height for you; I pray that your territory is enlarged. I pray for peace, healing, health, happiness, prosperity, joy, true and undying love for God.
Bless you all during this Holiday Season and throughout the coming year.....

Atheist displace CA park nativity scenes

 Most of the Christmas nativity scenes that churches had placed in a Santa Monica coastal park for decades have been displaced by non-religious displays.  This year the Churches only got three with 18 units going to atheist groups. The spokesman claimed that it was a fare lottery. I don’t buy that. The odds of there being that must difference in the outcome is astronomical. This is just another attack by liberals against Christmas and Christians.  The atheist in this country have zero tolerance to all things christian. I have never herd them complain about anything Muslim and Obama has been pushing it down our throats. I didn’t hear one complaint about government funds being made available for building the “Ground Zero Mosque”.

“The Heavens and the Earth shall pass away, but My Words shall never pass away”.-Jesus Christ
“If they hate you and insult you because of Me, your reward will be great in Heaven” (Paraphrase) – Jesus Christ
Know that through the power of God the Father and the Lord Jesus, these people will never be successful against Christ’s church (“the gates of Hell will not prevail against it.”).  He also said “Pray for yor enemies”.
Unfortunately, they will bring our country down if they increase in numbers and it appears they are increasing and gaining power.  These same people would probably not knock Islam…an unholy alliance.
  Atheist, Communist, Liberals, democrats all deny GOD.  That is their right, but as a Christian I
have the right guranteed under the U.S. Constution for freedom of relegions.   They can deny,
decry it all they want but the United States was founded upon Judeao Christian principles to
give all the freedom of worship.    We do not deny others that right and they will not be tollerated to deny us our right. The only reason Athiest, homosexuals or other deviants of society are tollerated is because of the Christain beleifs and the United States Military.   The Military stands in the breach between chaos and order.  Politicans creat chaos to try and stay in power and corrupt out system of balence in  American.   GOD BLESS AMERICA AND THE U.S. MILITARY.

Abraham asked the Lord to spare 50 righteous people. God responded to Abraham's plea "If I find in Sodom fifty righteous within the city, then I will spare all ....Genesis 18:16-33

America

The United States of America was founded on biblical principles with the intent to guarantee freedom of worship. But over time, we have removed the Lord from many aspects of public life. Prayer in schools, for instance, was deemed unconstitutional. What was once a “nation under God” has turned into a country that tolerates a growing number of sins and yet belittles absolute truth.
If a nation turns its back on the Lord, His judgment is inevitable unless the people repent and make Him Lord once again. As believers, our responsibility is to pray that God would draw the heart of our country back to Himself—and to help the gospel and truth spread through our land.

No Sun

There isn't any sun today, because it's been raining off and on all night and is still raining this morning.  There's a big rain storm hovered over the north central Texas area and it's not letting up.  We need the rain, because of the drought we've been in and this is a welcome sight.

Leather

 Texans, usually like to wear their boots and this is something that's tradition.  You will see several people on the streets of a town, with their western attire.  The  Old Gringo Boots   have good leather boots to offer people who are interested in fine leather products.  You can go online and shop for the different designs they have and get good quality items at a nominal price.

Oh Well

The job was short lived, as I sat thinking about the things I needed to do.  Now, I can regroup and do things that are necessary for my life in general.  No, longer do I need to get up early and make my way down the freeway to get to the regular job I had.  Now, once again I am retired and I am very glad to be back in this laid back situation.  The stress of the job was more than I really liked and therefore this thing happened just at the right time.

God Is Good

Many things have happened recently and I can surly say that I'm thankful for the good in all of them.  I find that I can always expect God to know my needs before I even know of them.  He has blessed me in ways that would take awhile to tell all of you.  But, truly.........he is good!

Eyes

I'm sure you ladies are like me.  We try to please our men, when we have one.  We do our best to look great in order to catch their eye.  Now, we don't have to put on all that mascara to have long beautiful lashes.  There are eyelash growth serums  you can get to help with your thin lashes.  I don't know if you are able to use these products or not, but click on the above link and shop.

Weather

It's been acting crazy here in Texas again, and I'm looking out the window, wondering what the storms are bringing, that are on the way.  Our area was under a tornado alert last night, and this morning the storms are on the way as I speak.  I must get ready and get on to work before it gets really bad out there.  Driving is rough when the rain and wind is pounding you.

Jobs

It's looks as though the world is becoming so high tech, that we must go back to school in order to keep up with the new culinary arts.  It's amazing to see all the intricate systems and computers involved in technology these days.  Fifty years ago no one ever knew about such things as Cooking Jobs and if they did, it was in town or for some high class family and we knew nothing of it.  You can get more information about this type of job, by clicking on the above link

Cold & Flu Season

Today, it's raining, something we've needed plenty of since we are still in a drought of sort. It would have been nice, to have gotten this rain, during the summer months, when it was so hot and dry.
I'm sure it won't be long until the doctors will be getting many people in their offices, from all the colds and flu, this weather will help cause. I can only hope that this winter won't be too bad, because it's very hard to get places you need to be and dress properly.
They say that if you don't like Texas weather, just wait a few minutes and it will change........

Vacation?

I know that summer has ended, but there are times that families want to have some time away from the everyday world and be together.  The coming holidays are a good time to invest in a vacation for the family and get a good deal.  You can find these vacation rentals by owner  for a great time to be had by all who attend.  The season, will give you added pleasure and maybe even a discount.  Take a look at this website, before you make any decisions.

Bein Stein's Confession

The following was written by Ben Stein and recited by him on CBS Sunday Morning Commentary.

My confession:


I am a Jew, and every single one of my ancestors was Jewish. And it does not bother me even a little bit when people call those
beautiful lit up, bejeweled trees, Christmas trees.. I don't feel threatened. I don't feel discriminated against. That's what they are:
Christmas trees.

It doesn't bother me a bit when people say, 'Merry Christmas' to me. I don't think they are slighting me or getting ready to put me
in a ghetto. In fact, I kind of like it It shows that we are all brothers and sisters celebrating this happy time of year.
It doesn't bother me at all that there is a manger scene on display at a key intersection near my beach house in Malibu .
If people want a crïeche, it's just as fine with me as is the Menorah a few hundred yards away.

I don't like getting pushed around for being a Jew, and I don't think Christians like getting pushed around for being Christians.
I think people who believe in God are sick and tired of getting pushed around, period. I have no idea where the concept came
from that America is an explicitly atheist country. I can't find it in the Constitution and I don't like it being shoved down my throat.

Or maybe I can put it another way: where did the idea come from that we should worship celebrities and we aren't allowed
to worship God as we understand Him? I guess that's a sign that I'm getting old, too. But there are a lot of us who are
wondering where these celebrities came from and where the America we knew went to.

New Dog

The Author of this post is Cheryl Martinez
My kids are all about the new dog but to be honest, my husband couldn’t care less. I don’t know why he was so all about the new pet but it seems like ever since we got the lab he’s been nonstop watching expert satelliteand can’t be bothered to take the thing outside. I know it’s football seasonand he says the dog is the kids’ responsibility but it would be nice to have a little more help around here when it comes to the dog. I just don’t get why all of a sudden everything seems to be falling on me! I love Tabby and I think he’s the sweetest dog I’ve ever met and I’m glad my kids have him to learn responsibility when it comes to owning a pet. I think it’s really important for people to have that type of thing growing up but I sure would have thought twice about this if I had known my husband wasn’t going to help me with it at all!

The Trials

Just when you think things are about to ease up on you and you see a patch of blue in the sky.  It happens again.  Another trial for yo u to face and manage to get through are around.  The elements of the trail unfold with such hast and turmoil you find that you sometimes fall to pieces emotionally.  It's these times you must reach down inside you for the strength you know is there.  You find that this is the strength you have developed over the years from just such trials.  Reaching out for help can soothe things, but your inner strength can get you through the situation, when no one else is there during the dark moments of the trial.

Ink Stamps

I've used Self-inking Stamps  for various jobs as well as party favors and gifts.  There are these type that you can use which has a good imitation of your signature.  These are very convenient at companies where a large amount of paperwork is passed daily.  I see that you can get stamps to use on certain mail outs and give them flair.  For more information about stamps and the prices, click on the above link.

Sib Competition

There are two boys down the street who get out in the evenings and place with a ball.  Sometimes it's a large beach ball, and other times it's a soccer ball.  Either way, one of them will do his best to kick it out into the street so the other one will have to go into the street to get it.  In other words, they like to see the cars stop for them.  It gives them a moment of control on other people.  That's a boy for you.

Crash Carts

I know you've seen them in hospitals and wondered how many they had served that day alone?  It's necessary to have these carts available in convenient areas of hospitals and clinics.  The  point of care cart   is stocked with the necessary equipment, tools and supplies to care for patients who are having the need for medical help.   For more information about these carts and the different designs, click on the above link.

Goodbye Tom

My dear friend, I'm so sorry to hear of your passing.  It's so terrible to get an email from another friend telling me of your passing.  I hope you are resting in your loved one's arms and I sure am going to miss your wonderful smile, and sweet sense of humor.  It was a pleasure knowing you for the short time you were around my world.
May the angels lift you up to the great one in the sky.........
Love ya,
Nita

On A Diet?

Generally speaking today's world looks toward the slender, beautiful people.  It's these people we larger one's learn to dislike.  We work so hard on a diet, exercise and look for the best diet pills   to aid in our attempts.  Many of us loose some weight, but we really don't get to that goal we had in mind.  It may be that we set too high a goal, and did it with the idea, that we weren't going to be able to achieve it anyway.  This was a easy way to set ourselves up to quick when the going got rough.
We know that it takes hard work to loose weight.  We get ourselves all charged up and off we go on the down hill trek.  I say down hill, because without proper help and resume you can't do this.  A good trainer or a friend that's dieting, exercising and such along with you can get you there.  I've lost weight by just adjusting my diet, but some obese people, need extreme help. 
I can not understand how someone can go to the extreme's that certain weight builders take.  I would fall out in the first fifteen minutes from over exhaustion.  I suppose that's why they go to the gyms and spa's to get the special training to get those buff bodies.  Those people have a lot of will power and strength.

Preference?

I remember going to church every time the doors were open and sometimes when they weren't. The new world out there has taken it's toll on churches and left them sitting empty and forsaken. 
I'm sure you were raised much as I was, with church being the major part of your life.  It seems that we have moved in other directions, knowing what the true direction is.  Excuses become a part of why we don't go, and laziness is another.  I love to sleep in on a Sunday morning, because it's the only day I have to do so.  There's the getting up and dressing to go off to a place, that we might end up sleeping once again, if the pastor isn't keeping our attentions.  It comes down to what you really believe, anyway.  The personal experience is what's important, along with the relationship between you and your maker.  The real thing is that, and the different denominations, doctrines and such leave me cold.  I find that I must constantly find contact with the one that's most important to keep me on the right paths.

Aging Gracefully

 As we all know, the art of aging is not always what we want it to be.  There are health issues that crop up and we don't want to accept them.  Still, they happen and we must cope with the reality that aging, is a pitfall, we all must face.  One of the issues of aging is incontinence, and it will not go away.  It gets worse and we become dependent on  incontinence products  to protect our clothing as well as our ego's.  We don't want to be embarrassed by leakage, while out in public, and that's why we must invest in these products.

The Wrong Person

How often do you find yourself caught up in a relationship that just doesn't make the grade?  Maybe it's you, maybe it's the other person, who just couldn't handle the stress.  Who knows what happens to a relationship that can't make the grade?  There are reasons and if we really look at the how's and why's of the situation, then we know what happened.  If your guts tell you something's not right, then you had better listen...........because something's not right.

Thankful

I am so thankful for the peace that we have experienced in recent months.  Even with the 911 anniversary, there were no major events to mar the effects that the American people were trying to accomplish.  For this I am thankful and only hope that in coming months, coming days we will be safe, secure and happy. 

New Item

The big items in today's market has become something of a safety item.  It's used at airports and local agency's that have problems with would be criminals.  Today's world has become scary with all the terrorists  that have shown their pending threats to our society and it's people.  You can find good  metal detectors garrett
 brand locally and around the USA.  I know of it because I live in the suburban area that this company has it's main branch housed.

Thankful

We are thankful that the hurricane wasn't as bad as it could have been.  The different states involved along the east coast were hit with the brunt but didn't sustain as much damage as predicted.  For this we are thankful. Our thoughts are with the families, who lost loved one's in this weather.  The clean up ahead will be rough, and without power, it will take longer than normal.  The evacuation of many, saved large amounts from death and injuries.  Once again we are thankful it wasn't worse.

A Trophy

 I'm sure you' ve walked into homes or office's that had a line of display of trophies from an avid sports participant or other events.  It's a conversational piece for friends and family to gather information from the proud owner's of these  trophies  and what they are for.  You can always acquire different types of trophies from online stores as well as local trophy showcases.  It's a good thing to give achievement award trophies at work to deserving employees as well.  Check out the many designs and price lists on this website.

From A Child

From the time I was born, I was raised to know about the Lord. My grandmother, took me to church every time the door was opened. All my childhood, was spent playing with my dolls and whatever toy, the family was able to afford for me. Remembering my grandmother, always telling me about God, and expressing how she hoped one day I would be a preacher, led me as a small child to feel special. I can remember playing church with my dolls and sitting them on the steps of the front porch, and leading them in church. Everything I had seen during service's was what I would perform, during my play session. I became the leader of songs, prayer and eventually preach a child like sermon, to my dolls. I would that today's children, enjoyed the innocence of the children years ago. To know God, with the innocence of a child is the beginning of real faith....

Your Fork

There was a young woman who had been diagnosed with a terminal illness and had been given three months to live. So as she was getting her things 'in order,' she contacted her Pastor and had him come to her house to discuss certain aspects of her final wishes.

She told him which songs she wanted sung at the service, what scriptures she would like read, and what outfit she wanted to be buried in.

Everything was in order and the Pastor was preparing to leave when the young woman suddenly remembered something very important to her.

'There's one more thing,' she said excitedly.

'What's that?' came the Pastor's reply.

'This is very important,' the young woman continued . 'I want to be buried with a fork in my right hand.'

The Pastor stood looking at the young woman, not knowing quite what to say.

That surprises you, doesn't it? ' the young woman asked.

'Well, to be honest, I'm puzzled by the request,' said the Pastor.

The young woman explained. 'My grandmother once told me this story, and from that time on I have always tried to pass along its message to those I love and those who are in need of encouragement. In all my years of attending socials and dinners, I always remember that when the dishes of the main course were being cleared, someone would inevitably lean over and say, 'Keep your fork.' It was my favorite part because I knew that something better was coming...like velvety chocolate cake or deep-dish apple pie. Something wonderful, and with substance!'

So, I just want people to see me there in that casket with a fork in my hand and I want them to wonder 'What's with the fork?' Then I want you to tell them: 'Keep your fork, the best is yet to come.'

The Pastor's eyes welled up with tears of joy as he hugged the young woman good-bye. He knew this would be one of the last times he would see her before her death. But he also knew that the young woman had a better grasp of heaven than he did. She had a better grasp of what heaven would be like than many people twice her age, with twice as much experience and knowledge. She KNEW that something better was coming.

At the funeral people were walking by the young woman's casket and they saw the cloak she was wearing and the fork placed in her right hand. Over and over, the Pastor heard the question, 'What's with the fork?' And over and over he smiled.

During his message, the Pastor told the people of the conversation he had with the young woman shortly before she died. He also told them about the fork and about what it symbolized to her. He told the people how he could not stop thinking about the fork and told them that they probably would
not be able to stop thinking about it either.

He was right. So the next time you reach down for your fork let it remind you, ever so gently, that the best is yet to come. Friends are a very rare jewel, indeed. They make you smile and encourage you to succeed. They lend an ear, they share a word of praise, and they always want to open their hearts to us.
Show your friends how much you care. Remember to always be there for them, even when you need them more. For you never know when it may be their time to 'Keep your fork.'

Cherish the time you have , and the memories you share .
being friends with someone is not an opportunity but a sweet responsibility.

And keep your fork.

Scriptures


O Lord, thou art my God; I will exalt thee, I will praise they name; for thou hast done wonderful things; thy counsels of old are faithfulness and truth.
 Isaiah 25:1

Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the Lord is risen upon thee.
 Isaiah 60:1

Straight Talk

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Straight Talk for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.
I began to see the light about exactly how much I was spending on those cell phone service plans.  It didn't take me long to realize that I needed a plan I could control and have things limited to my needs.  My finances are considered "fixed income", so therefore I must have control over my spending.  I found that the only way to control my cell phone expenses was to go the "pre-pay" way.   This company offers plans that have caught my attentions with  everything you need   and I'm ready to take the bait.
Shopping for great deals meant that I had to spend time online doing constructive research.   I found Straight Talk and took the time to look at all the options offered.  As you know  mom knows best  and when my teenager wants to  call a friend   I'm thankful that I choose a great plan which allows so much more.   I needed a company where there is  everything you need  and no contracts, no surprise bills and no credit checks.  I wanted to get great nationwide coverage and excellent reception and connectivity.

Straight Talk only uses trusted phone manufacturers like LG, Motorola, Kyocera, Nokia and Samsung.  Reconditioned phones are available from $10.00 with camera, mp3 player, mobile web access, and blue-tooth capability.  Straight Talk can give you everything you need without a contract.  Their International Long Distance Service is a flexible prepaid calling service that enables you to make international calls from your home, cell or office phone at low rates.  Just look at the money you will be saving with one of these plans.  There are many ideas you could whip up, to use that extra money.

Hello God

I just wondered how things are going, with this world we're living in? Isn't it about time you did something to stop all the problems, we're experiencing? I know you've got a lot on your hands, but it's just getting worse. I remember you saying in your word, that it would. I just wonder how far it has to go before you will intervene? It's really rough down here and getting to the point, we are scared to leave our homes. I'm looking for some help here, and would appreciate you making an effort towards our needs. I know you will meet whatever they are, but some of this stuff, is just outrageous. Please, put your hand on our nation and give us the strength to do the right things. In your name I ask........

Their move

Authored by Rickey Combs
My mom and dad have been talking for the longest time about moving somewhere a little slower paced. I thought it was a great idea, myself, and have been pushing them for years and they’ve finally worked up the courage to get out and go this year – they’ve been in their new townhome for almost two months and they say they love having less house to maintain! I told them to go to Http://www.Securitychoice.com to secure the place up when they moved in since they’re not too used to living in the city and I talked to my mom about having her groceries delivered. Can you believe she joined a gym? They act like they’re going on 17, not 70, but I think it’s totally great that they’re living life to the fullest even in their old age. I love my parents and no matter what they do with their retirement I’m going to think they hung the moon – they’ve been so good to me and my brothers all our lives!

Save A Child's Life

I'm sure you've seen commercials on television about different relief organizations who help needy chidren.I found one that does this effort around the world.
You know the joy that comes from helping underprivileged children  find love, encouragement and hope for the future. Imagine how blessed you will feel if your encouragement leads to the sponsoring of just one child!
Compassion's desire is to help children in need grow into healthy, educated, confident adults, ready to serve God and others. By focusing on all stages of a child's development, Compassion's Christian ministry is changing the world, one child at time.

Churches

In the last few years, I have noticed many churches opening and closing.  Some of the churches would spring up in local strip malls and very soon after they would close and vacate the space.  Others would open in vacant houses and make needed repairs on them.  Yet, they would fall to the bad economic situations we have been facing. 
There's a huge fancy church here in my town that is going to go under from lack of funds.  The denomination involved should have been able to pull enough parishioners to carry the load.  It just hasn't happened and this too will fall on hard times.  This has become a sad situation that looks to be an epidemic in proportion.

Dear Paul

In a week or so, you will have been gone a year.  It's going to be hard on several people, especially your daughters.  I know they are missing you because I hear it from their own words weekly.  It's so sad that you had to leave them.  Now, your sister has followed you and that only leaves your brother David.  I hope somehow, you have been at peace and please know how much the girls miss you.

Suing Perry

I can see where this is going.  We've come down to the fact that people who don't believe in God, are suing the Governor of Texas because he has issued the support of a "Day of Prayer" to be conducted in the Houston, TX area.  They say he has stepped over the line by using his office and the seal as a means of support for the event.  In other words, these people are trying to tell us that our leader is not supposed to lead the Christians in this event.  We are not telling them "not to believe", which they do so very well.  Why can't they leave the Christians and God fearing people to their beliefs.  Isn't that what the American freedom is all about?  Freedom to or not to ....believe.  If prayer helps and comforts during our time of economic duress, then what makes this such a problem?  Is there not the same attentions, given to sick and ailing people?  If our Governor is a person that believes in God, why can't he call those who believe, to come and assemble for prayer?

Scriptures

Praise ye the Lord, Praise, o ye servants of the Lord, praise the name of the Lord.  Blessed be the name of the Lord from this time forth and for evermore.  From the rising of the sun unto the going down of the same the Lord's name is to be praised.  The Lord is high above all nations, and his glory above the heavens.  Who is like unto the Lord our God, who dwelleth on high, Who humbleth himself to behold the things that are in heaven, and in the earth!
Psalm 113:1-6

Remnants of the Philistines.....

Archaeologists are piecing together the history of a people remembered as the bad guys of the Hebrew Bible.  The remains of an ancient metropolis of Gath, appear in the biblical story close to three millennia ago.  The most famous resident, according to the Book of Samuel, was Goliath.  Gath was on the frontier between the Philistines, who occupied the Mediterranean coastal plain, and the Israelites, who controlled the inland hills.  This digging sheds light on how the Philistines lived in the 10th and 9th centuries B.C.  Around 604 B.C., Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon invaded and put the Philistines' cities to the sword. There is no remnant of them after that.  Every year they have an annual digging season in this area to try and find items from that era.

GPS

While taking a long trip, I found that keeping up with the paper map would get to be an ordeal.  Many times I would have to stop and buy another map that interacted with the map I already was using.  Now, you can get
gps rangefinder at the source   and be well on your way to your destination in no time.  These units are equipped with the best amenities and come in different price ranges.  The installation usually can be obtained from a local dealer associated with this company.

Happy July 4th Pictures, Images and Photos 
Have a fun and safe 4th..........

Grills

If you don't want to grill out doors, then you can do as well with the convenience of a electric grill, inside your patio or home.  Shopping for appliances is better done at an online store, because of the amenities involved.  You can shop for electric grills  and compare the price's plus benefits that these stores offer.  Then you can have the product shipped to your home which gives you extra time for other activities.  Go online to the link in this article and see what items they list.  They will also have a list of items which are on sale at this time.

Independence Day

The 4th of July sets off an array of festivities to celebrate our country's independence.  It's as American as baseball, coke, and apple pie.  That's just part of the celebrations we enjoy throughout the year and it's something each individual looks forward to.  We don't even allow the hot weather to ruin our fun.  BarBQ's, will be in full force and the fireworks will have to wait due to the burn bans the Fire Departments have enacted.  The drought has cause many fires to break out and destroy large amounts of grasslands, plus home and buildings.  It's okay with us because we'd rather be safe than sorry.  Happy and safe 4th......to all!

Meeting of Minds

How often have you been involved in a conference call or office meeting?  It never fails that on Friday you will be summoned to a meeting of minds.  The huge companies have but one way to include more that one complex and it's executive's during a company meeting.  Today, you can find many who are coming together using megameeting.com web conferencing  to make major decisions.  This type of communication is a great way to keep up on current company functions as well as budget and corporate decisions.

Compare

A Holy man was having a conversation with the Lord one day and said, 'Lord, I would like to know what Heaven and Hell are like.'
The Lord led the holy man to two doors.     
He opened one of the doors and the holy man looked in.      
In the middle of the room was a large round table.. 
In the middle of the table was a large pot of stew,
which smelled delicious and made the holy man's mouth water.
The people sitting around the table were thin and sickly.. They appeared to be famished. They were holding spoons with very long handles that were strapped to their arms and each found it possible to reach into the pot of stew and take a spoonful.
But because the handle was longer than their arms, they could not get the spoons back into their mouths..    
The holy man shuddered at the sight of their misery and suffering. The Lord said, 'You have seen Hell.
They went to the next room and opened the door. It was exactly the same as the first one. There was the large round table with the large pot of stew which made the holy man's mouth water. The people were equipped with the same long-handled spoons, but here the people were well nourished and plump,  laughing and talking. 
The holy man said, 'I don't understand. 'It is simple,' said the Lord. 'It requires but one skill. You see, they have learned to feed each other.  
The greedy think only of themselves.'   
When Jesus died on the cross, he was thinking of you..

Book Store

While shopping the other day, I walked past a religious book store.  Curious about it's different items, I ventured in to look around.  There were so many nice items that I could get and give for gifts.  Some of the things were what I had been looking to buy for many years.  I picked up a few items and walked to the cashier in order to pay for them.  She quickly feed my items through the  barcode scanner  and my purchase was complete.  I left the store feeling good about my shopping trip and will definitely go back for more items in the future.

Prop Me Up!

Every time I am asked to pray, I think of the old deacon who always prayed, "Lord, prop us up on our leanin' side." After hearing him pray that prayer many times, someone asked him why he prayed that prayer so fervently.
He answered, "Well sir, you see, it's like this... I got an old barn out back. It's been there a long time; it's withstood a lot of weather; it's gone through a lot of storms, and it's stood for many years." "It's still standing. But one day I noticed it was leaning to one side a bit. So I went and got some pine poles and propped it up on its leaning side so it wouldn't fall."  "Then I got to thinking about that and how much I was like that old barn. I've been around a long time. I've withstood a lot of life's storms. I've withstood a lot of bad weather in life, I've withstood a lot of hard times, and I'm still standing too. But I find myself leaning to one side from time to time, so I like to ask the Lord to prop us up on our leaning side, cause I figure a lot of us get to leaning at times."
Sometimes we get to leaning toward anger, leaning toward bitterness, leaning toward hatred,   "leaning toward cussing, leaning toward a lot of things that we shouldn't." "So we need to pray, "Lord, prop us up on our leaning side, so we will stand straight and tall again, to glorify the Lord."

Coming

You see it coming to pass, and there's nothing  you can do to stop it.  The life of someone in your close family is slowly ebbing away, and you are helpless in the situation.  The doctor's look at you with those eyes and let you know that you are in the last days of this person's life.  Naturally, this is something you don't want to see or accept.  You realize the depth of what is happening and know that they can't last much longer.  Yet, you wonder if there is something you can do to give them hope or the "want to", to fight for their life.

Office Supplies

A notepad, notebook, easel, ink, are just part of the supplies needed for a business office.  You need to keep these things well stocked because  business office supplies  are a must to keep it going.  There are local stores you can order from and have them delivered.  You can also shop for your supplies online and get great value for the price's.  I'm sure that you are interested in controlling your business expenses, and shopping online, can help.

Dear Louise

It was so sad to hear of your passing.  You only last 11 months past your brother's passing and it seems that the timing wasn't expected by any.  I know that you had many health problems and certainly they contributed to you demise.  I feel bad for your boys and hope that somehow they can accept you being gone.  This leaves only one of the main line to that side of the family and I'm sure David will be taking better care of himself now that all these things have happened.  His health isn't too great either and people will worry for him.
Although, you and I never had a close relationship, I still had fun joking with you when I would visit over there.  I'm sure you will be missed by many,

 Sincerely,
Nita Kaye

Grandmother

A gift for your grandmother can be a very special item.  It's something she will hold on to and cherish, because it came from you.  You can get  personalized grandmother gifts  at this online website, that are unique and precious.  A grandmother is special and your gift to her should show the bond that is between you two.  You can have it delivered to her, or to you and then take it to her.  If she lives in another town or state, then I'm sure you would want it sent.

Paul

This time last year you were so sick and very pale.  The cancer had robbed you of the spunk you bestowed upon all around you through out the years.  You could talk the horns off of a billy goat and sometimes this really got on our nerves.  All in all it was your persona and people either accepted you or went the other direction.
 Our daughter has asked me to go with her to visit your grave for Father's Day.  Not wanting to hurt her feelings,  I told her I would go.  I am not one to like being around these types of scenarios and so I will make this visit as fast as I can.  I know it will be hard on her and at the present she needs someone who can give her strength during this time.  Next month it will be a year since you left the girls and that will be rough on them as well.

Scriptures

For the which cause I also suffer these things: nevertheless I am not ashamed: for I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that he is able to keep that which I have committed unto him against that day.
Timothy 1:12

Funeral

In order for a funeral to be arranged, there are certain aspects to check out.  Does the person have burial insurance, life insurance or not?  The funeral cost  for even a cheap arrangement, is over $6000. and can get very high with any extras.  I know that it's hard to consider your own death, but you must make sure your family can get through the grief as easy as possible.  The costs are going to keep growing, so make those plans before it's too late.  I may have to buy extra insurance, with the way prices are climbing.

Desktop?

The recent rage in electronics has become laptops, but I still like my desktop much better.  It seems that you can find the  best desktops  for the price and value at online stores.  I have looked for items at the stores before and found them to be as good or better than the deals I saw at local electronic stores.  The convenience of shopping local stores is good, but if you can wait, then getting an item from online stores and having it shipped can give you great savings.  Click on the above link and see what you can find.

You Know

Have you ever watched a family going through the torture of seeing their precious child loose it's battle with a terminal disease?  It's heart rending and there doesn't seem to be much you can do to help them.  You can offer condolences, but an actual act of helping in some way gives them more comfort than you will ever know.  Maybe you could sit with the person for an hour or two so they can get some needed rest or maybe you could offer to bring over some food to help while they are watching over the patient.  The little things you can do to help don't seem like much, but you will be much appreciated for years to come.

Social Security

I've seen many people who need help filing their disability insurance  with the Social Security Department.  It's a very overwhelming undertaking, and gives the people red tape that is hard to understand.  Needing help with filing  SSDI  isn't uncommon and there is a place you can find it.  This company doesn't charge you to help you get the benefits you need.  They are paid a fee by the office's that issues your disability coverage.  You can find some of the best counselor's around to assist you when you file.

Dear Robert

Today, you have been gone 7 years and they say time changes things.  It has gotten me past the major storm that ensued because of your passing.  There are memories that will never go away.  Today, is also your sister's birthday, and I'm sure she will never forget that particular birthday.  It is with regret that things are at a stalemate, with the others involved.  You know that I will not be able to have a relationship of any kind with them.  I believe you wouldn't like it, but there's nothing I can do about it, except protect myself.  They will never change and I can't allow them in my life.  Sorry, it has to be this way, but things are too extreme for me to accept.  I believe that your death helped one of them grow up to be a better person, but the other 2 are what I consider "lost causes."  Please forgive me for not allowing them in my life. 
I hope you are at peace.
Sincerely,
Nita Kaye

Cash Advances

I have noticed that these type of financial establishments have been popping up everywhere.  There's a large number of these places that can help with a loan for your financial peril.  They give cash advances  fast and set  you up for later payments to get you through the hard times.  There's been a report to many state governments about certain companies that are not using good financial practices.  Make sure you do some research on the company you want to use.  It's very important to make good decisions about your finances.

Disasters

So much devastation has come into focus lately, with all the different weather related problems that have happened.  People are without homes, and some have even lost their lives.  It's very hard for the help organizations to keep up with the demand for the different areas that have been affected.  Our hearts go out to the people and we offer our prayers for their safety and emotional trauma they are experiencing during this time.  Those of you who are able can help with donations to the Red Cross and your local help groups.  I know any assistance will be appreciated.

Weight

 I'm not sure about this product, so I will need to do further research on it.  The OxyElite Pro  is another product which boasts help with your diet, exercise and future weight loss.  It may also help with building muscle mass, which many body builders are interested in obtaining.  I suggest you contact your personal doctor before starting any type of weight loss or body building program.  It' the sensible thing to do when your health is involved.

Scriptures

For the which cause I also suffer these things: nevertheless I am not ashamed : for I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that he is able to keep that which I have committed unto him against that day.  Hold fast the form of sound words, which that has heard of me, in faith and love which is n Christ Jesus.
 II Timothy 1:12-13

Traveling?

The environment in the world today, has warranted the safe comfortable surroundings of our own country.  We as Americans make efforts to enhance our safety when traveling as well and enjoyment of our own country.  Some of us like to visit sites in the US, rather than travel abroad.  We need the convenience of a RV to get around and still have homey comforts.  It's necessary to get an RV loan for some of us.  Others have the available finances to cover their expenses.  For more information on  rv loans  I suggest clicking on the link in this post.

Happy Mother's Day

Although your no longer with me, I still think of the one who took the time to take a 3 day old baby girl and make every effort to raise her in the right way.  You were the only one who made time for this small child and as I found later, the only one who took the time to care.  Oh, there were others who helped with the process of raising me, but you were the only "Mother" figure,  I ever had.  I will never forget the time you took to teach me things that my young mind often wondered about.  Thank you for being the one I could turn to, when I didn't have the answers.  I love you even though I can't be with you anymore.  You were truly a "Mother" to me.
Your Grand daughter,

Trailer Hitch

I'm sure you know what I'm talking about when I mention a trailer hitch.  It's a necessary implement that is use to connect trailer's to larger vehicles for towing.  While I'm sure there are many name brands on the market to choose from, you might consider researching the website for the curt trailer hitch supplies.  They have a large supply of equipment available for your traveling needs.

Remember

The next time you feel like GOD can't use YOU, just remember...
Noah was a drunk
Abraham was too old
Isaac was a daydreamer
Jacob was a liar
Leah
 was ugly
Joseph was abused
Moses had a stuttering problem
Gideon was afraid
Sampson had long hair and was a womanizer
Rahab was a prostitute
Jeremiah and Timothy were too young
David had an affair and was a murderer
Elijah was suicidal
 
Isaiah preached naked
Jonah ran from God
Naomi was a widow
Job went bankrupt
John the Baptist ate bugs
Peter denied Christ
The Disciples fell asleep while praying
Martha worried about everything
The Samaritan woman was divorced, more than once
Zaccheus was too small
Paul was too religious
AND Lazarus was dead!

No more excuses now!! God can use you to your full potential. Besides you aren't the message, you are just the messenger.

God bless you by passing this on to someone else,
 if you'd like.

There is NO LUCK attached.

Electronics

It has become a trend to see someone with this thing stuck in their ear.  Most of the time it is for their cell phone usage, but if they are running or exercising, then they might have a  ps3 headset  in one ear and the phone in the other.  There was a time when if someone had something like that in their ear, it was because of their hearing loss.  I believe that many will develop this if they turn up the volume too high on their headsets.  What do you think?

So Long Joe

It was so sad to hear of your passing.  I know that you are not hurting anymore and that you fought as long as you could.  My daughter knew it was just a matter of time, before you left her, but she tried to do for you as best she could.  Being a caregiver for a terminally ill person is hard on anyone, but she is so young.  I've watched her going through extreme grief in the last year, with the passing of her father, and the break ups of her and her boyfriend.  Now, she looses you too.  You fell into the position of being a dad once her's was gone.  I know you didn't want all the problems, to happen that she is now going to face.  Sometimes, we can't control how life dictates things.  Either way you were a big support to her in many ways, and now she must go on without you as well. 
You will be missed and I know she cared deeply for you.  You were someone who gave her a form of life, when she didn't have any.  May your soul rest in peace.
Thank you,
Nita (Ashley's Mom)

Eyes

Dark circles are a menace to one's beauty and can be very aggravating to cover up.  I'm sure there's a good review that tells how to get rid of dark circles  with certain products or treatments.  Some circles can become permanent with prolong exposure to allergies effects.  The sun, wind and age can also be factor's in this situation.  For more information about the help needed, click on the above link and see what they offer.

Congrats

The world watched at Prince William and Catherine Middleton took their vows.  The fairy tale wedding took place in relaxed style, with both people showing the utmost sincerity to their union.  It is our hope and prayer that these two will make the future monarchy rich with their actions.  Hats off to a great couple, may they have a wonderful life.

Diets

It's very smart to shop for a good product when deciding to start a diet.  I've found that there are several pro's and con's about products used in dieting.  There's a lipofuze review  on website's that can give you an idea whether you would want to use this brand.  I know you can handle certain extreme's but some are very harsh.  For more information about this product and to read reviews, click on the above link.

Prayer Request

Last Friday my Mother went back to the hospital for the second time in a month.  This time is much worse than the last.  Mom, is 86 years old and her husband is 89 years old.  They have been trying to live at home in the last few years but are getting very feeble.  Now, we find that she has many ulcers in her stomach, one of which was bleeding.  They have cauterized it and have her on meds, but as of yesterday she was still in ICU.  This time isn't looking too good, and my sister is worn out trying to keep things going for 2 homes.  There's a decision to be made, based of how well, my Mom heals.  Your prayers are desired for the outcome.

Aircast

The medical world keeps evolving with all types of new concepts.  Now they have these aircast walking boots  to aide with the healing processes of broken bones and possible surgeries.  The cast are more light weight and give convenience to the fact of allowing more air around the actual wound.  You may want to read about the amenities of using these products.  It's good to research things you are interested in obtaining.

Come See Me........

Dear Al,
Our friendship started back in 2003, when I came to your town to escape the hell I was living in.  You and 2 other friends introduced yourselves and from there it began to unfold.  I managed to get a kitchenette apartment at the same place you and Jesse lived.  You 2 saw a new woman in the complex and immediately began saying "hello" and be friendly.  It was a welcome feeling and I appreciated it, since I was there alone.  The times that I spent hold up in my room, alone and unhappy were broken by your smiles and waves.  I started going over and sitting with you guys in the evenings and visiting.  We would share laughs, drink coffee or beer and enjoy each others company.  As time evolved, we came to be good friends and I started cooking extra food, and offering you guys a home cooked meal.  Two old bachelor's loved to get a good home cooked meal.  It was then that you guys would bring your extra meat and vegetables for me to use, rather than use up all of my stuff.  I didn't mind, and it soon became a ritual with us.
There were days that I would be down, and you would listen to me pour out my heart.  You would give an opinion, that seem to hit the spot at the right moment.  You sat with me, as I suffered the loss of my last husband, and let me talk your ears off.  There were times I could see that you really didn't feel up to it, but you never complained. 
After I moved away I made sure to keep in contact with you.  I even went back a few times to visit when I would be in town at my son's home.  You always welcomed me with open arms and a bear hug.  I tried to make it up there to see you but my old car just wasn't up to par.  I kept sending you emails, in hopes of helping the lonely times I knew you must be going through.  There were times when you wouldn't be on the internet and those times I feared were bad.  This last time was it and I lost my very good friend.  I'll miss your quick wit and funny laughs......your were my friend.
I love you,
Nita

Need Help?

Those hard to reach areas are basically something we try to stretch and accomplish.  Many times we even knock over what we're reaching for and cause a big mess.  If you've been hit in the head by something that has fallen from a top shelf, then you know what I'm talking about.  You need to invest in a two step stool  to make life simpler.  I'm sure you will want to check out the brand and price's before you buy.  Click on the above link and look around the  website.

Grand Children

There's 3 older and 4 younger listed to my credit.  Whether it's my credit or not there will be a listing of them at my obituary some day.  The three older one's are trying to gain prospective for their lives and select some sort of future to establish.  The four younger children are still learning about this big world and encountering the experiences of a childhood yet to explored.  I see the live's unfolding into different path's that will be diverse.  Several may find a college degree in their future, while one or two will not make it a direction to follow.  Time is moving so fast and all too soon, my children will be wondering where the time went.  I'm already there and can't believe my eyes, when I look in the mirror.

HGH

There have been certain channels on the TV that advertise the need for you to buy HGH  to improve you health.  It's boasted that this product can renew and build the body's strength and vitality.  I've considered using it in previous years, and even bought some of a brand that I found at a local health food store.  I will admit, that I never really used it religiously as I should so, therefore I didn't get the complete benefits it was used for.  Should you be interested, then click on the above link and read about it.



Dear Paul

The house is not the same over there.  Everyone can tell that you were the chief motivator of that family.  Things need help and your not there to give it that extra nudge.  It's too bad that something so small slipped into your body unknown and destroyed your health so fast.  You fought health problems all those years and won.  Visiting you the month before you passed on was a hard experience.  I could tell you were hanging on by a thread and it was just a matter of time.  Our daughter has managed to get through the last few months, but at times wishes for your strength to be present.  I'm sorry you had to go, and wish that this horrible cancer would have left you alone.

Sincerely,

A Good Smoke

This sounds like a oriential cigar, to me.  When in fact it's a cigar design or brand that's ready for your purchase.  I can't figure what  gurkha cigars  could have that would make it any different for other cigar's except maybe the blend of tobacco's.  I know that you men who relish a good cigar will know exactly what this cigar is all about.  Hats off to you guys and your smoking expertise!  All I can say is have a great day and enjoy one!

A Mess

The trees are a big problem when you have a hot tub in your yard.  I realize that it's nice to have the shade but as with your swimming pool, the leaves seem to go for the water.  Maybe they are attracted to water and naturally fall there on purpose.  Cleaning a hot tub after use is trouble enough.  You don't need added extra trash and leaves to clog the filters.  It's nice to have a hot tub cover  to protect it while it's not in use.  You can go online and find the right size for your hot tub, and get great quotes.  You might even get a special sale, which would make the purchase even nicer.

Choose

 John is the kind of guy you love to hate.   He is always in a good mood and always has something positive to say.  When someone would ask him how he was doing, he would reply, 'If I were any better, I would be twins!'  He was a natural motivator.  If an employee was having a bad day, John was there telling the employee how to look on the positive side of the situation.
Seeing this style really made me curious, so one day I went up and asked him, 'I don't get it!'
'You can't be a positive person all of the time.  How do you do it?'

He replied, 'Each morning I wake up and say to myself, you have two choices today.  You can choose to be in a good mood or...you can choose to be in a bad mood.  I choose to be in a good mood.'  Each time something bad happens, I can choose to be a victim or I can choose to learn from it.  I choose to learn from it.  Every time someone comes to me complaining, I can choose to accept their complaining or I can point out the positive side of life.  I choose the positive side of life.
'Yeah, right, it's not that easy,' I protested.
'Yes, it is,' he said.  'Life is all about choices.  When you cut away all the junk, every situation is a choice.  You choose how you react to situations.  You choose how people affect your mood.  You choose to be in a good mood or bad mood.  The bottom line:  It's your choice how you live your life.'
I reflected on what he said..  Soon hereafter, I left the Tower Industry to start my own business.  We lost touch, but I often thought about him when I made a choice about life instead of reacting to it.
Several years later, I heard that he was involved in a serious accident, falling some 60 feet from a communications tower.
After 18 hours of surgery and weeks of intensive care, he was released from the hospital with rods placed in his back.
I saw him about six months after the accident.
When I asked him how he was, he replied, 'If I were any better, I'd be twins...Wanna see my scars?'
I declined to see his wounds, but I did ask him what had gone through his mind as the accident took place.
'The first thing that went through my mind was the well-being of my soon-to-be born daughter,' he replied.  'Then, as I lay on the ground, I remembered that I had two choices:  I could choose to live or....I could choose to die.   I chose to live.'
'Weren't you scared?  Did you lose consciousness?'  I asked.
He continued, '...the paramedics were great.  They kept telling me I was going to be fine.  But when they wheeled me into the ER and I saw the expressions on the faces of the doctors and nurses, I got really scared.  In their eyes, I read 'he's a dead man'.   I knew I needed to take action.'
'What did you do?' I asked.
'Well, there was a big burly nurse shouting questions at me,' said John.  'She asked if I was allergic to anything 'Yes, I replied.'  The doctors and nurses stopped working as they waited for my reply.   I took a deep breath and yelled, 'Gravity''.  Over their laughter, I told them, 'I am choosing to live.  Operate on me as if I am alive, not dead.'
He lived, thanks to the skill of his doctors, but also because of his amazing attitude....I learned from him that every day we have the choice to live fully. 
Attitude, after all, is everything.  Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself.   Each day has enough trouble of its own.'
