A BOOK ABOUT CHURCHES
Nov 18, 2009 | 7:06AM
A BOOK ABOUT CHURCHES
A man wanted to write a book about churches around the country. He started by flying to San Francisco and started working east from there.
Going to a very large church, he began taking photographs and making notes. He spotted a golden telephone on the vestibule wall and was intrigued with a sign, which read "Calls: $10,000 a minute.."
Seeking out the pastor he asked about the phone and the sign. The pastor answered that this golden phone is, in fact, a direct line to heaven and if he pays
the price he can talk directly to GOD.
The man thanked the pastor and continued on his way. As he continued to visit churches in Seattle, Dallas, St. Louis, Chicago, Milwaukee, and many cities and towns all around the United States, he found more phones, with the same sign, and the same answer from each pastor.
Finally, he arrived in West Virginia, upon entering a church in the beautiful mountains of southern West Virginia, behold - he saw the usual golden telephone. But THIS time, the sign read "Calls: 35 cents"
Fascinated, he asked to talk to the pastor, "Reverend, I have been in cities all across the country and in each
church I have found this golden telephone and have been told it is a direct line to Heaven and that I could talk to GOD, but in the other churches the cost was $10,000 a minute. Your sign reads only 35 cents a call. Why?"
I love this part ...
The pastor, smiling broadly, replied, "Son, you're in West Virginia now ... You're in God's Country. It's a local call."
American by Birth - West Virginian by the Grace of God.
And why do West Virginians go barefoot? When you're in West Virginia you're on Holy ground! See...there is a reason that it is call "Almost Heaven, West Virginia!"
GOOD MORN...ING MY DEAR PRECIOUS FRIENDS. MY TOBY IS NOW HOME AND RECUPERATING VERY WELL. WE ALL HAD A GOOD NIGHTS REST :). THANKS FOR ALL YOUR THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS, THEY ARE GREATLY APPRECIATED. HAVE A GR8 DAY FILLED WITH GOD'S BLESSINGS. ASAP, LOVE, HUGS N BLESSINGS. YT

A NURSE
Nov 14, 2009 | 7:18AM
A NURSE
A nurse on the pediatric ward, before listening to the little ones chests, would plug the stethoscope into their ears and let them listen to their own hearts. Their eyes would always light up with awe, but she never got a response equal to four-year old David's comment.
Gently she tucked the stethoscope into his ears and placed the disk over his heart. 'Listen', she said...........'What do you suppose that is?' He drew his eyebrows together in a puzzled line and looked up as if lost in the mystery of the strange tap - tap - tapping deep in his chest. Then his face broke out in a wondrous grin and he asked, 'Is that Jesus knocking?'
GOOD MORN...ING MY SWEET LOVABLE FRIENDS. ITS SUCH A PRETTY WORLD TODAY, SUNSHINE AND ALL. HAVE THE TIME OF YOUR LIFE AND ENJOY EVERY MINUTE OF IT. ASAP, LOVE, HUGS N BLESSINGS, YT

Psalm 55:22
Nov 13, 2009 | 7:21AM
Psalm 55:22 --- you really need to read this.
'Friends are God's way of taking care of us.'
This was written by a Metro Denver Hospice Physician:
I was driving home from a meeting this evening about 5, stuck in traffic on Colorado Blvd., and the car started to choke and splutter and die - I barely managed to coast into a gas station, glad only that I would not be blocking traffic and would have a somewhat warm spot to wait for the tow truck. It wouldn't even turn over.. Before I could make the call, I saw a woman walking out of the quickie mart building, and it looked like she slipped on some ice and fell into a gas pump, so I got out to see if she was okay
When I got there, it looked more like she had been overcome by sobs than that she had fallen; she was a young woman who looked really haggard with dark circles under her eyes. She dropped something as I helped her up, and I picked it up to give it to her.. It was a nickel.
At that moment, everything came into focus for me: the crying woman, the ancient Suburban crammed full of stuff with 3 kids in the back (1 in a car seat), and the gas pump reading $4.95.
I asked her if she was okay and if she needed help, and she just kept saying 'I don't want my kids to see me crying,' so we stood on the other side of the pump from her car. She said she was driving to California and that things were very hard for her right now. So I asked, 'And you were praying?' That made her back aw ay from me a little, but I assured her I was not a crazy person and said, 'He heard you, and He sent me.'
I took out my card and swiped it through the card reader on the pump so she could fill up her car completely, and while it was fueling, walked to the next door McDonald's and bought 2 big bags of food, some gift certificates for more, and a big cup of coffee. She gave the food to the kids in the car, who attacked it like wolves, and we stood by the pump eating fries and talking a little.
She told me her name, and that she lived in Kansas City Her boyfriend left 2 months ago and she had not been able to make ends meet. She knew she wouldn't have money to pay rent Jan. 1, and finally, in desperation, had called her parents, with whom she had not spok en in about 5 years. They lived in California and said she could come live with them and try to get on her feet there.
So she packed up everything she owned in the car. She told the kids they were going to California for Christmas, but not that they were going to live there.
I gave her my gloves, a little hug and said a quick prayer with her for safety on the road. As I was walking over to my car, she said, 'So, are you like an angel or something?'
This definitely made me cry. I said, 'Sweetie, at this time of year angels are really busy, so sometimes God uses regular people.'
It was so incredible to be a part of someone else's miracle. And of course, you guessed it, when I got in my car it started right away and got me home with no problem. I'll put it in the shop tomorrow to check, but I suspect the mechanic won't find anything wrong.
Sometimes the angels fly close enough to you that you can hear the flutter of their wings...
Psalms 55:22 ' Cast thy burden upon the Lord, and He shall sustain thee. He shall never suffer the righteous to be moved.'
My instructions were to pick four people that I wanted God to bless, especially for the months left in 2009, and I picked you.
Please pass this to four people you want to be blessed and a copy back to me.
Here is the prayer:
'Father, I ask You to bless my children, grandchildren,nieces,friends, relatives and email buddies reading this right now. Show them a new revelation of your love and power.. Holy Spirit, I ask You to minister to their spirit this very moment. Where there is pain, give them Your peace and mercy. Where there is self doubt, release a renewed confidence through Your grace, In Jesus' precious name. Amen.'
I know I picked more than four -- you can, too.
When Satan is knocking at your door, simply say, 'Jesus, could You please get that for me.

HEALTH WARNING
Nov 12, 2009 | 6:56AM
This is an interesting story and I'd never thought of it in this way.
|
I thought that this was very interesting information. It came to me from someone who works in sales & distribution of cleaning & maintainence products for large industries.
Everyone in the cleaning industry has always been told that hand dryers in restrooms are not sanitary, they spread germs and bacteria around. I always thought that this just came from the paper companies because they are loosing sales to the hand dryers. A couple of years ago, I was working with a rep, and I noticed that after he washed his hands and noticed that there were no paper towels, only a hand dryer he left the restroom with wet hands. I asked him about it. He said that hand dryers blow a lot of germs and bacteria around. He also told me to take a look under the hand dryer next time I was in a restroom. There is a filter underneath the hand dryer that is supposed to be cleaned on a weekly basis. I looked at one and it looked like it hadn't been cleaned in years. It had layers and layers of caked on gunk (disgusting). Since then I will not use hand dryers in restrooms. Now this is where the story gets really interesting. The schools and universities that have had the H1N1 (swine flue) outbreak this year are being told by the health department that they have to take out all of their hand dryers and replace them with towel dispensers because the hand dryers are spreading disease. Please pass this along so everyone knows not to use hand dryers.

REMEMBERING ALL VETERANS
Nov 11, 2009 | 6:51AM
REMEMBERING ALL VETERANS
Please take a few moments from your busy day to pause, reflect, and thank those who have served and are serving our country. Although this page is dedicated to veterans of our Armed Services, almost every American family, many without donning a uniform, has contributed to the preservation of the ideals of the United States of America. "Rosie the Riveter" serves as a symbol of all those who stayed behind during World War II. Mom may have helped at the Red Cross or USO, and rolled bandages at home. School girls and boys knit scarves, socks, and mittens for the men on the front, and collected milkweed pods for life jacket fill. From the American Revolution to today's War on Terrorism, many are the untold stories and many are the unsung heroes.
Today we ask that you remember all those currently in the service of the United States and all her allies. While military conflicts are never easy to accept, neither are the denial of basic human rights. Whatever your opinions or beliefs, RESPECT and HONOR those who are answering the call to serve their country.
GOOD MORN...ING MY FRIENDS. HAPPY VETERANS DAY, GOD BLESS OUR VETERANS, OUR MILITARY THOSE ACTIVE AND INACTIVE AND OUR ALLIES, AND GOD BLESS AMERICA. HAVE A BLESSED DAY MY DEAR FRIENDS. ASAP, LOVE, HUGS N BLESSINGS. YT

Blessed Storms
Nov 09, 2009 | 5:55AM
Blessed Storms
During stormy weather
Clouds seem to lose their glow;
Gathering together
They darken Earth below.
The leaden sky explodes;
Rain pelts the ground with force
Threatening to erode
The soil without remorse.
Clouds rumble, roil and moan;
Lights split the sky in two;
Earth's creatures hide and groan
Birds bid the air adieu.
Though dark clouds hide the sun;
Though they are glum and gray -
Without them we're undone
For they send life our way.
They're smiled on by the Son
He formed; sent each of them;
A blessing every one;
A mystery to men.
Bringing much needed rain
Enabling life to grow;
Though storms can cause much pain
We need their blessed flow.
When storm clouds gather close
And life seems dark and bleak;
When foes attack; oppose
Leaving us battered; weak
Remember that each cloud's
A blessing in disguise -
Sent by God; allowed
To strengthen; make us wise.

Couple Marries
Nov 07, 2009 | 6:25AM
Couple Marries After Finding Lost Love Letter
The letter, found behind a fireplace, had been misplaced for more than a decade.
A British man and a Spanish woman rediscovered their romance and tied the knot, after a lost love letter had kept them apart for more than 10 years.
Carmen Ruiz-Perez was a foreign student in her 20s visiting the UK when she fell in love with Steve Smith 17 years ago.
They dated for a year and got engaged, but circumstances eventually drove the pair apart—that is, until Ruiz-Perez's mother renovated her fireplace.
The builders uncovered a letter that Smith had sent to Ruiz-Perez's mother's house just a couple of years after their breakup. It was a plea for them to rekindle their romance, but it had fallen behind the fireplace a decade earlier before Ruiz-Perez knew of its existence.
And now, the inspirational story has a happy ending. After finding the letter, Ruiz-Perez called her old boyfriend and the two met up again, finding their love was still strong. The couple married in July.
"When we met again it was like a film. We ran across the airport into each other's arms," Smith told the BBC.
"I never got married and now I'm marrying the man I have always loved," Ruiz-Perez added.

HOME REMEDIES
Nov 06, 2009 | 7:39AM
HOME REMEDIES
 Don't know if this one works, but some of those old "home remedies" had some basis in fact.
I knew a professor in Pennsylvania who talked to many of the old farmers and then collected samples of the plants they used as medicines. After extracting these in the lab, he found many pharmacologically active materials. Don't know what ever happeened to that research, but he did get lots of financial support from the pharmaceutical companies.
This is pretty interesting..going to have to give it a whirl.
In 1919 when the flu killed 40 million people there
was this Doctor that visited the many farmers to see if he could
help them combat the flu.
Many of the farmers and their family had contracted it and many died.
The doctor came upon this one farmer and to his surprise, everyone was very healthy.
When the doctor asked what the farmer was doing that was different
the wife replied that she had placed an unpeeled onion in a dish in
the rooms of the home, (probably only two rooms back then).
The doctor couldn't believe it and asked if he could have one
of the onions and place it under the microscope. She
gave him one and when he did this, he did find the flu virus
in the onion. It obviously absorbed the bacteria,
therefore, keeping the family healthy.
Now, I heard this story from my hairdresser in AZ. She said that several
years ago many of her employees were coming down with the flu and so
were many of her customers. The next year she placed several
bowls with onions around in her shop. To her surprise, none
of her staff got sick. It must work.. (And no, she
is not in the onion business.)
The moral of the story is, buy some onions and place them in bowls around your home. If
you work at a desk, place one or two in your office or under your
desk or even on top somewhere. Try it and see what
happens. We did it last year and we never got the
flu.
If this helps you and your loved ones from getting
sick, all the better. If you do get the flu, it just
might be a mild case..
Whatever, what have you to lose? Just a few bucks on onions!!!!!! !!!!!!!!
Now there is a P. S. to this for I sent it to a friend in Oregon who regularly contributes
material to me on health issues. She replied with this most interesting experience about onions:
Weldon,thanks for the reminder. I don't know about the farmers
story...but, I do know that I contacted pneumonia and needless to say I
was very ill...I came across an article that said to cut both ends off an
onion put one end on a fork and then place the forked end into an empty
jar...placing the jar next to the sick patient at night. It said the onion
would be black in the morning from the germs...sure enough it happened
just like that...the onion was a mess and I began to feel better.
Another thing I read in the article was that onions and garlic
placed around the room saved many from the black plague years ago. They
have powerful antibacterial, antiseptic properties.
GOOD MORN...ING MY DEAR FRIENDS. I HAVE NOT TRIED THIS, BUT IF I GET THE FLU, I WILL TRY IT. HAVE A WONDERFUL DAY AND MAY GOD BLESS YOU AND YOURS. LIVE EACH DAY AS IF ITS YOUR LAST. ASAP, LOVE, HUGS N BLESSINGS

“Daddy, Please Send Me”
Nov 05, 2009 | 7:22AM
“Daddy, Please Send Me”
The Lord of the Heavens looked down to the Garden
The snake in the tree talked to Eve.
His view of what happened left no other choice,
He asked the young couple to leave.
Eve bore two sons, one murdered the other,
Justice in Heaven must be.
Lord of the Heavens said, “What can be done?”
A voice answered, “Daddy...send Me.”
Judges were sent to the earth to correct,
Enshrined are these in Bible history.
Yet, though they prayed, the people still strayed;
Again the voice, “Daddy...send Me!”
Across the countless ages, throughout Bible pages
Ignored was the Prophet’s decree
Vengeance was reaped and the Lord’s people weeped;
Came the voice, “Please Daddy...send Me!”
The Lord of the Heavens then planted a seed
That someday would grow to a tree
With a tear in His eye, He turned and He spoke,
“As a last resort, Son...I’ll send Thee!”
GOOD MORN...ING DEAR FRIENDS, WHOA THE SUNSHINE JUST CAME OUT :). IT MIGHT BE A PRETTY DAY AFTER ALL. HAVE A WONDERFUL DAY AND MAY THE SON SHINE ON YOU. ASAP, LOVE, HUGS N BLESSINGS MY DEAR SWEET FRIENDS. YT

A little known NASA fact
Nov 04, 2009 | 4:49AM
The first food and drink consumed on the moon was the reserved sacrament of communion. At first, it was kept secret. To mark the 40th anniversary of the first Apollo moon landing, Bosco Peters has posted the details of this Christian act of worship 235,000 miles from the earth. The First Communion on the Moon is now one of The Episcopal Church ' s ' lesser feasts and fasts ' , he writes.
On Sunday July 20, 1969 the first people landed on the moon. Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin were in the lunar lander which touched down at 3:17 Eastern Standard Time. Buzz Aldrin had with him the Reserved Sacrament. He radioed: “ Houston , this is Eagle. This is the LM pilot speaking. I would like to request a few moments of silence. I would like to invite each person listening in, whoever or wherever he may be, to contemplate for a moment the events of the last few hours, and to give thanks in his own individual way.”
' Later he wrote: “In the radio blackout, I opened the little plastic packages which contained the bread and the wine. I poured the wine into the chalice our church had given me. In the one-sixth gravity of the moon, the wine slowly curled and gracefully came up the side of the cup. Then I read the Scripture, ‘I am the vine, you are the branches. Whosoever abides in me will bring forth much fruit..’ I had intended to read my communion passage back to earth, but at the last minute Deke Slayton had requested that I not do this. NASA was already embroiled in a legal battle with Madelyn Murray O’Hare, the celebrated opponent of religion, over the Apollo 8 crew reading from Genesis while orbiting the moon at Christmas. I agreed reluctantly…Eagle’s metal body creaked. I ate the tiny Host and swallowed the wine. I gave thanks for the intelligence and spirit that had brought two young pilots to the Sea of Tranquility . It was interesting for me to think: the very first liquid ever poured on the moon, and the very first food eaten there, were the communion elements.”
' NASA kept this secret for two decades. The memoirs of Buzz Aldrin and the Tom Hanks’s Emmy-winning HBO mini-series, From the Earth to the Moon (1998), made people aware of this act of Christian worship 235,000 miles from Earth.

Don't Quit
Nov 02, 2009 | 6:43AM
Don't Quit
When things go wrong, as they sometimes will,
When the road you're trudging seems all uphill,
When the funds are low, and the debts are high,
And you want to smile, but you have to sigh,
When care is pressing you down a bit,
Rest if you must, but don't you quit.
Life is queer with its twists and turns,
As every one of us sometimes learns,
And many a failure turns about,
When he might have won had he stuck it out;
Don't give us though the pace seems slow,
You may succeed with another blow.
Success is failure turned inside out,
The silver tint of the clouds of doubt,
And you never can tell how close you are,
It may be near when it seems so far.
So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit,
It's when things seem worse that you must not quit.
GOOD SUNNY MORNING MY FRIENDS. BRRRRRRR ITS 39 DEGREES OUT THERE :). HAVE A WONDERFUL PRODUCTIVE DAY MY FRIENDS, WITH GOD'S MOST PRECIOUS BLESSINGS. ASAP, LOVE, HUGS N BLESSINGS. YT
