Today's Truth
"Moses also said, 'You will know that it was the LORD when he gives you meat to eat in the evening and all the bread you want in the morning, because he has heard your grumbling again him. Who are we? You are not grumbling against us, but against the LORD" (Exodus 16:8 NIV emphasis added).

THE PROMISES
We are going to know a new freedom and a new happiness. We will not regret the past nor wish to shut the door on it. We will comprehend the word serenity and we will know peace.

So powerful that I am inspired to share wha...5 Recommendations9 Comments -
I needed an epiphany, and I got one Friday that I've been considering throughly. All the things I love doing are prevented by either my dodgy hands, dodgy spine or dodgy hearing, so it's about time I accepted that and lowered my own expectations.

This forest is awesome. It is cool and a little dark where we walk - the sun filters through above - it is magical.
The trees wrapping around one another as they grow. I would like to live in this forest. I could use SOMETHING wrapping around me:)
It's a little like a wonderland - I expect pixies to leap out at any point - Heinze loves it too. I wish the deer...2 Recommendations10 Comments -
An interesting life

He grew up with lots of hard work, love from his family, and Saturday moving picture shows – when he was good. Cowboys and Indians were the standard fare.

This man gave his clean date as 1969!!, I thought there is no way he is an alcoholic! Well after hearing his story I came to realize "if he ain't a alcoholic then there ain't none!! ha! ha!" Well another man ( a regular ...3 Recommendations13 Comments
