Jesus Makes Happiness Attainable

He discharges the debtors,
  He delivers the captives,
     He defends the feeble,
        He blesses the young,
            He serves the unfortunate.
               He regards the aged.  
                   He rewards the diligent.
                       He beautifies the meek.

He is key to knowledge.
He is the wellspring of wisdom.
He is the foundation of faith.
He is the doorway of deliverance.
He is the pathway to peace.
He is the roadway of righteousness.
He is the gateway og glory.
He is the highway to happiness.

                                   Just Give Me Jeaus

Just Give Me Jesus

I just started reading this new book. "Just Give Me Jesus" by: "Anne Graham Lotz"

God is my joy and reason for living. He is....
                                                                   the wing beneath my wings,
                                                           the treasure that I seek,
                                                  the Foundation on which I stand,
                                         the song in my heart,
                                 the Object of my desire,
                         the Breath of my life---
                   He is my All in all!

Embrace Faith

A man is driving a convertible on a mountain road, took an unexpected turn too quickly and went right over the edge. As his car fell, he managed to grab onto a tree sprouting from the cliff face as his car dropped a thousand feet to the canyon floor.
"Help!" he screamed.
 "Can anyone hear me?" he cried.
Suddenly the clouds rolled together and a voice like thunder said, "Yes I can hear you."
"Will you help me?"
"Yes, I will help you. Do you believe in me?"
"Yes, I believe in you."
"Do you trust me?"
"Yes, yes I trust you. Please, hurry."
"If you trust me, then let go of the tree," thundered the voice.
After a long silence, the man cried, "Can anyone else hear me?"

If you want to embrace faith, you must let God into your life.

What is your attitude about MONEY?

A husband and wife attended a county fair where a man in an old biplane was giving rides for $50. The couple wanted to ride, but they thought the pilot's price was too high. They tried negotiating to get him to lower the price, offering $50 for them both, but he would not budge. Finally, the pilot made them an offer. 

"you pay me the whole $100 and I'll take you up," he said. "And if you don't say a single word during the flight, I'll give you back your money."

They agreed, and the couple got into the plane. Up they went, and the pilot proceeded to do every aerial maneuver he knew: diving, looping, rolling, and flying upside down. When the plane landed the pilot said to the husband, "Congratulations! Here's your $100. You didn't say a word."

"Nope," answered the husband, "but I almost did when my wife fell out."

The Day America Told The Truth

• James Patterson and Peter Kim published results of a national survey on morals in The Day America Told The Truth. Here are some of the things people said they would be willing to do for $10 million (along with the percentage of people who would do it). They would.....

• Abandon their entire family (25%)
• Become prostitutes for a week or more (23%)
• Give up their American citizenship (16%)
• Leave their spouse (16%)
• Withhold testimony, letting a murderer go free (10%)
• Kill a stranger (7%)
• Put their children up for adoption (3%)

If these findings don't show that some people believe money will bring them happiness, nothing does!

Two thousand years ago the Roman philosopher Seneca said: Money has yet to make anyone rich

In the bible it says:

Whoever loves money never has money enough,

whoever has wealth is never satisfied with his income,

this  too is meaningless

Ecclesiastes 5:10

Funny Questions?

•  Should a person engage a plastic surgeon if his office is filled with Picasso portraits?
• How much deeper would the oceans be if sponges didn't live in them?
• If FedEx and UPS were to merge, would the company be called Fed Up?
• When elderly people spend more time reading the Bible, is it because they're cramming for their finals?
• If a bus station is where the bus stops, and a train station is where the train stops, what should happen at my workstation?

Today Matters

I am reading this great book!
Today I read:
You cannot buy or win happiness. You must choose it.
Your attitude is contagious!
There are 2 kinds of people in any organization: polluters and purifiers. Polluters are like smokestacks, belching out dirty smoke all the time. They hate clear skies, and no matter how good it gets, they can find a way to make it gloomy. When the people around them "breathe" their toxins, they feel sicker and sicker.
purifiers, on the other hand, make everything around them better. It doesn't matter what kind of rotten atmosphere they encounter. They take in the toxic words of polluters in the organization just as everyone else does, but they filter the words before passing them on. What goes in may be gloomy and negative, but when it comes back out, it's fresh and clear.

It's my Birthday and I want to have fun!!!!

TODAY

Today is the most important day of my life. Yesterday with it successes and victories, struggles and failures is gone forever. The past is past. Done. Finished. I cannot relive it.I can't go back and change it. But I can learn from it and improve my TODAY.
Today. This moment NOW. It is God's gift to me and it is all I have.
Tomorrow with all its joys and sorrows, triumphs and troubles isn't here yet. Indeed, tomorrow may not come. Therefore, I will not worry about tomorrow.
Today is mwhat God has entrusted to me.It is all that I have. I will do my best in it. And when this day is done I will look back with satisfaction at that which I have accomplished.
Then and only then will I plan ,y tomorrow. Looking to improve upon today, with God's help.
Then I shall go to sleep in peace....content.

GOOD Or BAD Which Is It?

Well the day started out good, I got a Mary Kay order,YEAH!! Then I went in to work and found out was not needed and my last day is Monday after be the manager for 2 years. Well, they say everything happens for a reason, so will have to wait and see if this turns out to be a good thing or not...I got to get some things done and spend time with my husband..good thing. But quess what, the handle on the passenger side door of my BMW quit working and it is going to cost over $200 to fix. I am still trying to figure out if today was good or bad, which is it???

GREAT DAY!!!!

I had oatmeal with a banana for breakfast. Lunch was smoked tuna. I went over to visit a friend and they talked me into eating one slice of cheese pizza. Honestly they would not let me go with eating the pizza. Well tonight I only had few pieces of raw broccoli and snap peas.


My best thing of the day was I got a pearl bracelet at my Mary Kay meeting for having recuited someone and her placing an order. Yes!! then I also won the cutest little cadillac that holds my cell phone. AWESOME!!!

Who Would Have Guested?

Would you believe I have lost 2 pounds since I started eating healthy. I just can't believe it. Well I will say this, It makes me want to try harder to stay on target with eating right.
Today had a fruit smoothie for breakfast. Red beans and 1 piece of cornbread for lunch with unsweet tea. of course supper is a whole other thing. I had one sugar cookie at 10 p.m. Well can't win at every meal...

What Is The Deal????

The day started out good. We went to church then had a veggie omelet and large OJ. Lunch I had left over veggie soup and more OJ since my allegies are driving me crazy today. I cooked eggplant casserole with angel hair pasta and was fine till 9 p.m. and then it happened....


I had David get me the chocolate chip cookies and I ate three...can you believe that not one, not two, but three chocolate chip cookies. What is the deal with that? Why can I do good all day and at night blow it? What can I do to keep on track/
? Anyone have any ideas?

Day 2

Today I am back on target to eating healthy... I got up this morning and made oatmeal with apples & cinnamon for breakfast. Had 1 cup of coffee & OJ also. Lunch I did great. I fixed me a mixed green salad with strawberries and seasoned rice vinegar.


I cooked a homemade soup all day in the crock pot...OMG it turned out so good! I ate two bowls. One thing I really like about eating for health is that I can eat all the fresh fruits and veggies I want.
Well David wants to go see a movie tonight so wish me well!!!

NEVER DIET AGAIN!!!

EAT FOR HEALTH

Started reading this book last night. I am trying to find something that will help me have more energy, feel better, and live healthy. I started out good today. I had a bowl of fresh fruit for breakfast with cup of coffee and OJ. For lunch I did excellent..ordered mixed salad greens with dressing on the side...didn't eat any dressing..yes!! and did not eat garlic bread that comes with it..but tonight was another matter. David & I went to the movies and watched " Julie & Julia", a great, funny movie. I had a small popcorn, not too bad,but when I got home was still hungry and had some boudin..Blew the whole day..Oh well we start over tomorrow..

Mary Kay

Just got back from Mary Kay seminar. I had a most awesome time. I have been very impressed with Mary Kay products. I love their miracle set. My skin is much softer and I can actually see a difference in my skin. I learned so much while I was there and I know now the American dream is still possibe.
