I LOVE ME….DON’T YOU? Hollywood? Who Cares? “The most difficult secret for a man to keep is the opinion he has of himself”. Marcel Pagnol “PUFF FLUFFS; Those who are vogue on the outside and vague on the inside.” My best football buddy, Linda Raber, quoted this to me. HERE IS HOLLYWOODISM; *I am awesome! *I am rich. *I know everything. *Those of you who don’t have my politics are worthless. *I am brilliant in politics. *Let’s make fun of those who are Christians, their values, and morality. I am Liberal. I can accuse any man…
MAN’S INNATE NEED TO WORSHIP Faith Brings Strength, Peace, and Wisdom Colossians 2:2-3 This is what I ask of you; that you will have the rich experience of knowing Christ with real certainty and clear understanding. For God’s secret plan, now at last made known, is Christ Himself. In Him lie hidden all the mighty, untapped treasures of wisdom and knowledge. History books and the Bible are loaded with examples. Cults, Scientology, Idol Worshippers, Islam, Buddism, Hinduism: It’s just as present now, as it was 2,000 years ago. Modern day idols include the following…
I CAN do all things through Christ… I know you’ve read that from me before. I am in a slump right now; emotionally, physically, but especially spiritually! I feel drained, totally empty, and without the “gumption” to fill back up. I was off my ‘nut’ medicine for a few days and that hasnt helped, but I feel lost and without purpose. I know God has this, I never doubt that, but my body is tired and in pain much of the time. I am getting older but seriously?! 55 shouldn’t mean…

MY WILD, WACKY, WONDERFUL, WEEKEND Lunch With My Ft. Thomas, Ky. Cousins Laughter is the Best Medicine: Granny Laible. OMG! Did my sister and I ever have a spectacular weekend?

EXPRESSING GRATITUDE Mother Teresa: Do little things in a big way. 2 Thess. 1:3 We ought always to thank God for you, brothers, and rightly so, because your faith is growing more and more, and the love every one of you has for each other are increasing. “Feeling gratitude and not expressing it is like wrapping a present and not giving it. Wm. Arthur Ward We are all blessed in so many ways. I am an unusual “Nutcase,” in a good way. Today, as I did my errands, I gave myself a goal: Praise and acknowledge anyone that did…
GOD HAD FUN AT CREATION He Laughs, Shakes His Head, and says, ”Really?” Psalms.. God has a smile on His face. Sometimes I see God laughing, and shaking His head at some of my pranks and failures. “Here she goes again. Another mess I have to clean up.” However; *She’s worth it. *She is my Daughter. *She is my heir. *I need her in eternity. I love her. I forgive her. I will give her strength and courage. I will hold her hand. I will keep her in perfect peace. Remember.. He knew us when He formed us in…

DEVOURING THE SICK MEDIA DON KNOTTS…”Who Me Worry? Nope!” Psalm 37:7 Be still in the presence of the Lord, and wait upon Him to act. Don’t fret about evil people who prosper, or fret about their evil schemes. Yes , I’m wise in life experience. If anyone remembers the 50’s as vehemently as I do, you remember crazy variety shows like Ernie Kovacs and Steve Allen. On the Steve Allen Show, he did his skit called “Men on the Street.” The following actors got their start in comedic entertainment :Don Knotts, Tom Poston, Louis Nye, and…
I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me… What does strength look like to you? What about courage? How about the flipside-failure. Does it have a face? This week I faced all of those in my week….and it’s only Tuesday!! Many years ago I was given an opportunity and I thought, at the time, that it was the perfect solution for me and the answer to my tomorrow! Turned out, God had something else entirely different for my future. I was heartbroken and devastated at the time it first fell apart, but…
I WHISPER HIS NAME Only About 1,000 Times A Day 1 Peter 5:7 Casting all of your care(fear, anxieties, worries) upon Him, for He cares for you affectionately and cares about you watchfully.

The fact that I’ve lost 20 lbs. has made a huge difference. Even after I cut my pill in half, I may not need it anymore. So…
CRUELTY DEFIES TRUST People Who Don’t Have God In Their Lives Do Cruel Things. Jesus Teaches Us to Forgive 70x’s 7 1 John 1:9 If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

THE POWER OF PRAYER I Journal All Blessings Matt 14:23 And when He sent the multitudes away, He went up on the mountain by Himself to pray. Now when evening came, He was alone there.
