Tis the Christmas Season!

Merry Christmas to all . I am so wondering why we picked this day to celebrate Christ's Birthday? We really don't know Jesus was born on December 25Th. From what I was just reading the pagans picked this holiday to honor the the earth.The church wanted to get people away from the pagan tradition so they started celebrating Christ's day. If I am off base please let me know.

I love the Lord God with every fiber in me and I find I need to honor God everyday. If not for Him I would have been lost a long time ago. Now I want you to know what is making me feel this way. First I look around and I see all the wrong we do . Hurting one another. Lying , stealing , cheating. swearing, raping, and homosexuality, how we use the bible to fit our own needs. How we tell little lies so we don't hurt someones feeling. well I bet their feelings will really be hurt when they find out not only you lied but that you can't be trusted either.
Today I watched a simple soap opera on T.V. and I see they are about to make one of the Young men's actors gay. I think how much good they could do by showing good things and how to lead us to good ways not show the youth how to go against the bible.I see the elder woman across the street. All she wants is for her kids to come and spend a day with her. They are so mean to her. Yelling at her. I have tried to be there for her but now I am tired. And feel so guilty.I don't want to burn in hell.Help me Lord!



I am tired of looking around and seeing the disrespect for one another in the world today. Religious leaders molesting the young.Parents Beating Gods' babies, talking to one another and using the f--- word as if saying hello. Wars in your name. How can this be a happy season . Oh God forgive me for my judgeing ways, I am trying so hard to be good and love and worship you everyday. But its so hard. My grand son who I share raising with my daughter, is going down the wrong path I can feel it. I try but I can't stop him . Please help me Lord. Help them.Show us all the way. Come back soon Lord save us.

The Price (and Reward) of Raising Kids

Hi it's been a long time, With the holidays coming along I want to share something I read. It is so nice, enjoy. I did.


The Price (and Reward) of Raising Kids
This is just too good not to pass on to all. Here is something absolutely positive for a change. I have repeatedly seen the breakdown of the cost of raising a child, but this is the first time I have seen the rewards listed this way. It's nice.

The government recently calculated the cost of raising a child from birth to 18 and came up with $160,140.00 for a middle income family. Talk about price shock! That doesn't even touch college tuition.

But $160,140.00 isn't so bad if you break it down. It translates into:

* $8,896.66 a year,
* $741.38 a month,
* $171.08 a week.
* A mere $24.24 a day!
Just over a dollar an hour.

Still, you might think the best financial advice is; don't have children if you want to be 'rich.' Actually, it is just the opposite.

What do you get for your $160,140.00?

* Naming rights . First, middle, and last!
* Glimpses of God every day.
* Giggles under the covers every night.
* More love than your heart can hold.
* Butterfly kisses and Velcro hugs..
* Endless wonder over rocks, ants, clouds, and warm cookies.
* A hand to hold usually covered with jelly or chocolate.
* A partner for blowing bubbles and flying kites.
* Someone to laugh yourself silly with, no matter what the boss said or how your stocks performed that day.

For $160,140.00, you never have to grow up. You get to:

* finger-paint,
* carve pumpkins,
* play hide-and-seek,
* catch lightning bugs,
* never stop believing in Santa Claus.
You have an excuse to:
* keep reading the Adventures of Piglet and Pooh,
* watch Saturday morning cartoons,
* go to Disney movies, and
* wish on stars.

You get to frame rainbows, hearts, and flowers under refrigerator magnets and collect spray painted noodle wreaths for Christmas, hand prints set in clay for Mother's Day, and cards with backward letters for Father's Day .

For a mere $24.24 a day, there is no greater bang for your buck. You get to be a hero just for:

* retrieving a Frisbee off the garage roof,
* taking the training wheels off a bike,
* removing a splinter,
* filling a wading pool ,
* coaxing a wad of gum out of bangs, and
* coaching a baseball team that never wins but always gets treated to ice cream regardless.
You get a front row seat in history to witness the:
* First step,
* First word,
* First bra,
* First date,
* First time behind the wheel.

You get to be immortal. You get another branch added to your family tree, and if you're lucky, a long list of limbs in your obituary called grandchildren and great grandchildren. You get an education in psychology, nursing, criminal justice, communications, and human sexuality that no college can match..

In the eyes of a child, you rank right up there under God. You have all the power to heal a boo-boo, scare away the monsters under the bed, patch a broken heart, police a slumber party, ground them forever, and love them without limits, so one day they will, like you, love without counting the cost. That is quite a deal for the price!

Love & enjoy your children & grandchildren & great-grandchildren!

It's the best investment you'll ever make!


So the best gift ever given to you is from our Father in heaven, A child.Pray everyday for that child to walk Jesus's walk be kind, to pray and believe!

Remember we are all Gods' children no matter how old we get!

Another day

Well, another beautiful day..... a........ no its not, we were told we would have sunshine today. Where is it? All I can see are clouds , it looks like one continuous cloud. Oh well the rain was needed to bring on those beautiful colors. The rusts , oranges , yellows and different color greens , which happen to be my granddaughters favorite color, green, mine to for that matter. I love this time of year. Autum and spring. The seasons are wonderful. Not to hot nor to cold. Just right. You have to love the The north all should experience it. I am going to post some pic's have a look and let me know what you think.

God has such a beautiful eye. Each and everyone of us can see and believe in his beauty. Just say the majic words "I Believe in you Jesus" and Believe!

I can't wait to fill old clothing with leaves and make a scare crow or warm hot apple cider. wow sounds great A. I love it . Thank you Lord

All I can say is Wow!

All I can say is Wow, You go Mister Buffett if only more people thought your way. Not only the rich but all. If President Obama ,Senate and congress don't want to Tax the rich then I say open an account and donate money to pay on the the debt. Only someone who is smart can do this. Lots of brains are needed here.
Wake up America can't you feel the Lord is getting angry with all of us . This country has always been rich. America , Canada and Great Britten and Austria. Have always been blessed. But we stopped seeing what it means to tithe. To tithe is to give 10% of what you have. Or if you simply can't do that then donate your time in helping the church or the elderly, something. Almost none of us do that. A lot of us were so selfish we made bills to get what we wanted not only what we needed but what we wanted. For this I am sorry. I had to file bankruptcy. And I am ashamed of myself. I made the price of thing go up as did all of us that charge things we really did not need,and were in unions. We demanded more pay . The better work environment was needed. But we voted our self out of jobs.Do you understand what I am saying. It is time to step up to the plate and save America and hopefully the others (Canada and Great Britten and Austria) will follow . I am not smart enough to do what I have suggested. The bank thing . But the rich can figure out who is and can be trusted.
Now the other part of this page. I know that there are people who are struggling out there, trying to find work and make as much money as you use to, but until that time comes,Take what ever comes your way MC Donald's, Burger King, Toco Bell what ever. Mostly PRAY TO GOD! he loves you. The problem is do you love him? At church I hardly see any youth. Who is teaching Gods rules to these young ones what chance will they have as they grow up? Are you going to wait till God says It IS TIME TO PAY FOR YOUR SINS. Are you really willing to go to hell and burn for ever?
Satan has done enough damage we gave him the power. We need to take it back and give our souls to the LORD! God vs Satan I know who will win . I pray you do to. God Bless America!!!!!!

Myths and Facts About the Debt-Ceiling Compromise

I am very sorry but I don't speak any language except English , If you want your comments published Please say so. I don't want to get anyone in trouble. Thanks for your understanding.

For those that don't want to go and read the web sight them selves, here you go, And for those that do here you go: http://money.msn.com/credit-rating/escape-from-the-great-debt-trap-bloomberg.aspx?gt1=33001

Myth: President Obama caved.

Fact: President Obama laid out key priorities that had to be part of any deal. Those priorities are reflected in this compromise. First, we avoided default which would have plunged the economy into a deep recession, imperiling the well-being of millions of Americans. Second, the initial down payment on deficit reductions does not cut low-income and safety-net programs such as Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security. Third, we set up a path forward that will put pressure on Congress to adopt a balanced approach. And finally, we raised the debt ceiling until 2013, ensuring that House Republicans could not use the threat of default in just a few months to force severe cuts in Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid.

Myth: Republicans got everything they wanted

Fact: They won’t admit it publicly, but when push came to shove, Republicans backed down on their key demands. For months, Republicans called for a budget that would have ended Medicare as we know it, made catastrophic cuts to Medicaid, or cut investments in education by 25 percent, clean energy by 70 percent and infrastructure spending by 30 percent. As if that wasn’t enough, they also demanded that we repeat this debt-ceiling crisis, just a few months from now.

None of these of these demands made it into a final deal.

Myth: This deal cuts Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security.

Fact: There are no changes to these programs included in the initial phase of this agreement. In the second phase of the agreement, everything will be on the table – and the President has made clear that the committee must pursue a balanced approach where reforms to programs like Medicaid, Social Security or Medicare would only be acceptable if coupled with higher revenues from the most fortunate.

Myth: This deal reduces the deficit entirely on the backs of the middle class.

Fact: While the initial down payment on deficit reduction - about $1 trillion – will require belt-tightening, it still will allow us to invest in the programs and priorities we care about most. Moreover, hundreds of billions of this initial round of cuts will come from security spending.

As we negotiated the domestic side of the cuts, we protected our historic new investments in Pell Grants as part of the down payment. For the second phase, we made sure that programs for the most vulnerable, like food stamps, Medicaid and the Earned Income Tax Credit, would not be hit by the “trigger,” the automatic cuts that will go into place if Congress does not find an acceptable compromise.

Myth: The joint committee -- the so-called "super committee" -- makes it easier for Congress to cut the programs we care about.

Fact: The joint committee system puts pressure on Republicans to seek compromise. As we all know, in this round of deficit reduction, there wasn’t a lot of leverage bringing Republicans to the table. In round two, that changes.

If Republicans aren't willing to compromise, then the joint committee will fail. This would automatically trigger an additional $1.2 trillion in deficit reduction designed to be painful for both sides, with half that coming from savings in the defense budget.

Myth: Since we weren’t able to raise revenues right now, we won’t be able to raise revenues in the future.

Fact: The deal lays out two paths for further reducing our deficit. Both of them include revenues. Option one is for the joint committee to develop a plan that is passed by both Houses of Congress, and signed by President Obama. The President has already said that he will only support a balanced approach involving shared sacrifice. That means raising revenue through steps such as closing loopholes for corporations, reforming our tax code, and asking millionaires and billionaires to pay their fair share in taxes.
