Hugs for a Monday

If I could catch a rainbow
I would do it just for you
And share with you its beauty
On the days you're feeling blue.

If I could build a mountain
You could call your very own;
A place to find serenity,
A place to be alone.

If I could take your troubles
I would toss them in the sea,
But all these things I'm finding
Are impossible for me.

I cannot build a mountain
Or catch a rainbow fair,
But let me be what I know best,
A friend who's always there.

This is a Hug Certificate!!

LOVE OF GOD

Here are seven scriptures on love of God from the King James Bible

1. Romans 5:5 And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us.

2. II Corinthians 13:14 The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Ghost, be with you all.

3. I John 3:16 Hereby perceive we the love of God, because he laid down his life for us: and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren.

4. I John 2:5 But whoso keepeh his work, in him verily is the love of God perfected: hereby know we that we are in him.

5. I John 3:17 But whoso hath this world's good, and seethe his brother have need, and shutteh up his bowels of compassion from him, how dwelleth the love of God in him.

6. I John 5:3 For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments and his commandments are not grievous.

7. John 3:16 For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. (The ultimate Love of God)

Faith Filled Friday

Today in faith I am going to bring up a subject that I feel is important to pass along. This was a topic that was addressed in my oldest daughters blog. She was listing to her local Christan radio station and the topic came up with a web site to visit and was the first time she had heard about it. Without going into much this is something my daughter has come in contact with from an x-boyfriend who has the problem. She would encourage everyone to support and pray for this cause.

White Ribbons Against Pornography (WRAP) Week 10/26/2007

Washington, D.C. — The 20th annual White Ribbons Against Pornography (WRAP) Week begins this Sunday, October 28 to raise awareness of the harmful affects of pornography. Concerned Women for America (CWA) joins the national campaign to provide opportunities to fight pornography and sexual addictions and call for a respect for sexual virtue.

WRAP Week began in 1987 as a result of one woman, Norma Norris, who sought to sensitize the public to the magnitude of the pornography problem in everyday life. For one week, people are asked to wear or display a white ribbon in solidarity against pornography.

The Supreme Court determined in 1973 that the First Amendment does not protect “obscene material” (hardcore pornography). People can complain to businesses that distribute pornography, write letters to the editor, distribute information to the community, educate community leaders about the negative effects of pornography, ask pastors to address the sin of pornography, support those who are on the “front lines” of the fight against pornography, contact their State Prosecutor and U.S. Attorney to complain about violations of state obscenity laws, and ask state and local legislators to curtail “sexually oriented businesses.” More information regarding particular state laws and ordinances is available at www.moralityinmedia.org and www.obscenitycrimes.org.

To schedule an interview with one of our spokespeople, please contact Natalie Bell at 202-488-7000 x126.

Wendy Wright, President of CWA
Wendy Wright notes that “75 percent of convicted rapists admit they were acting out what they had seen in pornography, and 80 percent of child molesters admit their spiral down began with pornography.”

Janice Crouse, Ph.D, Director and Senior Fellow, Beverly LaHaye Institute
Dr. Crouse is an expert on the effect of pornography on relationships affecting women and children and on the link between pornography and sex trafficking.

Matt Barber, Policy Director for Cultural Issues
Mr. Barber said “Many people think that pornography is victimless. They don’t realize that many forms of widely accepted pornography are in fact a direct violation of federal and state obscenity laws. These laws should and must be enforced. Ultimately, it is women and children who are most victimized by pornography and the lack of obscenity law enforcement.”

CWA State Directors and Leaders are also available to provide local viewpoints and activities

Thusday Bible History

The following was sent to me by a friend. I needed a good laugh after a long day on the road and thought others would enjoy it also. This is a Thankful Thursday.

In the beginning, which occurred near the start, there was nothing but
God, darkness, and some gas. The Bible says, 'The Lord thy God is one,'
butI think He must be a lot older than that. Anyway, God said, 'Give me a
light!' and someone did. Then God made the world.

He split the Adam and made Eve. Adam and Eve were naked, but they
weren't embarrassed because mirrors hadn't been invented yet. Adam and Eve
disobeyed God by eating one bad apple, so they were driven from the Garden
of Eden. I'm not sure what they were driven in though, because they didn't
have cars.

Adam and Eve had a son, Cain, who hated his brother as long as he was
Abel. Pretty soon all of the early people died off, except for
Methuselah, who lived to be like a million or something.

One of the next important people was Noah, who was a good guy, but one
of his kids was kind of a ham. Noah built a large boat, and put his family
and some animals on it. He asked some other people to join him, but they
said they would have to take a rain check.

After Noah came Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Jacob was more famous than
his brother, Esau, because Esau sold Jacob his birthmark in exchange for
some pot roast. Jacob had a son named Joseph who wore a really loud sports
coat.

Another important Bible guy is Moses, whose real name was Charlton
Heston.&nb sp; Moses led the Israel Lights out of Egypt and away from the
evil Pharaoh after God sent ten plagues on Pharaoh's people. These
plagues included frogs, mice, lice, bowels, and no cable. God fed the Israel
Lights every day with manicotti. Then He gave them His top ten Commandments. These
include don't lie, cheat, smoke, dance, or covet your neighbor's bottom (the
Bible uses a bad word for bottom that I'm not supposed to say, but my Dad
uses it sometimes when he talks about the President). Oh, yeah, I just
thought of one more: Humor they father and they mother.

One of Moses' best helpers was Joshua who was the first Bible guy to
use spies. Joshua fought the battle of Geritol and the fence fell over on the
town.

After Joshua came David. He got to be king by killing a giant with a
slingshot. He had a son named Solomon who had about 300 wives and 500
porcupines. My teacher says he was wise, but that doesn't sound very wise
to me. After Solomon there were a bunch of major league prophets. One of
these was Jonah, who was swallowed by a big whale and then barfed up on
the shore.

There were also some minor league prophets, but I guess we don't have
to worry about them.

After the Old Testament came the New Testament. Jesus is the star of
the New Testament. He was born in Bethlehem in a barn. (I wish I had been
born in a barn, too, because my mom is always saying to me, 'Close the door!
Were you born in a barn?' It would be nice to say, 'As a matter of fact, I
was!')

During His life, Jesus had many arguments with sinners like the
Pharisees and the Republicans. Jesus also had twelve opossums. The worst
one was Judas Asparagus. Judas was so evil that they named a terrible
vegetable after him. Jesus was a great man. He healed many leopards and even preached to some Germans on the Mount. But the Republicans and all those guys put Jesus on trial before Pontius the Pilot. Pilot didn't stick up for Jesus. He just
washed his hands,instead.

Anyway, Jesus died for our sins, then came back to life again. He went
up to Heaven, but will be back at the end of the Aluminum. His return is
foretold in the book of Revolution.

Wonderful Wednesday

This day is turning out to be a wonderful word filled Wednesday. First I made a telephone call to a friend at the college I attended and she told me about 2 jobs that will be posted in the next day or two. I have calcification's for both of them. I will apply and see what happens. Next I was reading a post from a friend I have made and she had a web site that if you like cooking and baking for Christmas this is a site to visit and can get it from my list of links. It is called North Pole. Then I heard the sound of a combine. Our neighbor has a huge John Deere combine in a very small field of corn. It will only take him a round and a half to get it. It will take just a few minutes to pick but 10 minutes to turn it around to finish the field.

Today's holiday is not one of my favorite days, but it has turned out to be a wonderful fall day so the children will have a safe Trick or Treating evening in our small town. Our Church is hosting a party for the kids of the town for an alternative. Good knows how to brighten up a day that starts our cold and gray.

Submission

For two weeks now the Lord has been leading me to the book of Ephesians and the chapter and verses concerning submission of a wife to her husband. In the two weeks I have read different devotions on the subject that has been leading up to today. Today in the Ladies Bible Study I attend we discussed Sarah and what joys came to her when she submitted totally to God. Between Genesis and Ephesians I have finally realized something, for God to answer a pray of mine I must fully submit to my husband. When I do that I believe God will answer the pray and wonderful joys will come my way.

Wash Day

As a young girl I was told that Monday is to be set a side for wash day. I remember my Mom washing with a wringer washing machine. I liked to help and one day I stuck my hand through the wringer, Mom came running and fell spraining her ankle to get to me she forgot her pain and shut the washer off and took my hand out. Our Dr. lived at the end of our block so Mom hobbles down with me to make sure I had not broken anything. Thank the Lord she just had a small sprain and I had not broken anything so the wash was finished and hung on the line.

So 55 years later I have a washer and dryer that is up to date with the times. I still hang clothes on the line in good weather so today that is what I have been doing. I can not wait to smell the clothes as I take them off the line. How God has helped in the inventions of different generations to make it easier for the cleaning of clothes. What will our grandchildren have to wash their clothes? I can not wait to see.
