Great Joyce Meyer Prayer

Lord, the world continually tries to conform me to be like everyone else. I thank You for making me different. Help me to be content with who I am. Amen.

Talk To God!

Prayer is a central part of our faith, and it empowers us to relate with God on a personal level. How awesome it is that we get to have conversations with God daily, and that God chooses to listen and speak to us!

God Help Us

Government's first duty is to protect the people, not run their lives. Ronald Reagan........... HE said it wasn't a tax. The Supreme Court today ruled it was! Lies, lies, lies... so frustrated and worried about our country!

I Miss Ronnie...

Freedom prospers when religion is vibrant and the rule of law under God is acknowledged. Ronald Reagan

Believe

And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive. Matthew 21:22. The KEYWORD here is BELIEVING! Do it!

Take Personal Responsibility!

NEW YORK, May 31 (Reuters) - Coca-Cola Co and McDonald's Corp slammed Mayor Michael Bloomberg's proposed ban on large soft drinks in New York City, arguing for freedom of choice and saying it would not effectively curb obesity. "New Yorkers expect and deserve better than this. They can make their own choices about the beverages they purchase," Coca-Cola said in a statement on Thursday. The world's largest soft-drink maker, which would be most affected by the ban, said it already puts calorie counts on the front of its bottles and cans and noted that restaurants post calorie content for all their offerings, including soft drinks. Bloomberg's assault on super-sized sodas opened a new front in the battle over how local governments regulate in the name of health what people eat and drink. What next? If this were to pass, what would be next? NO large Fries, double and triple burgers, how about no bacon on the burgers? That would cut calories, or let's ban potato chips, cookies, and all fried foods, or better yet, let's just shut down all 7-11's and fast food restaurants! Really people? People out there know what is fattening and what is not! This is not rocket science. If you eat fattening crap you will gain weight. If you feed your kids fattening crap, they will gain weight. Banning certain crap and not other crap will not make you healthy. Only YOU can do that! Good Grief!

Memorial Day 2012

I try to keep this page different from my "Common Sense" page. But since this is Memorial Day weekend I am posting this on both pages.... My husband and I had the opportunity to spend a couple days this Memorial weekend with 2 retired Navy Seals. What a great weekend. These guys are awesome. Not only are they tough, courageous, talented, and "bad ass", they shared their human side with us as well. They told stories that we could only dare to imagine...war stories. These brave guys, and thousands before them and after them, give so much. We have no idea, and until you actually get the opportunity to know one, talk to one, hear one, the life of a soldier sometimes seems like simply something we see on TV, or in a movie. They are so brave, so patriotic, they love God and their country. And they SACRIFICE. They put their lives on the line, for us, for their country. To be around these guys was such a gift. While Memorial Day is a day to remember, and be thankful for those who served or are serving, we need to remember these guys and gals daily. Everyday there are soldiers out there risking their lives. If you don't know a soldier or haven't had the opportunity to get to know one, I hope you someday do. Meanwhile you can pray for them, pray for their safety, pray for their lives, and pray for their return home. If you would like to help Vet's but not sure how, I highly recommend giving to Camp Patriot. Camp Patriot is dedicated to helping wounded soldiers and exists to take Disabled U.S. Veterans on outdoor adventures. It is a wonderful organization. Check it out: http://www.camppatriot.org
