Wow, I wonder if so many people have trouble with this site? Like it took me several attempts to even get this page to open? Of course, with the crazy weather we are having here in Calif! Yep, yesterday we had lightening, thunder, rain, hail which some think is SNOW:) and twin tornadoes!!? COLD 2day but I"m NOT complaining. Just shows life and weather can change...But I was reminded again this morn, how this life is a constant battle between good and evil. And I"m sure the devil doesn't want me to write this positive tribute to God:)
But what I really wanted to write about was how I pray everyone is taking good care of themself's? This world is CRAZY so it's NOT just YOU! How can anyone really be at peace when the world isn't? Sad how far we really havent' progressed when it comes to not FIGHTING one another...But for those who know the Word of God, we have strength and the best Leader on our side. I thank God every morning for his blessings and for just being able to turn to him whenever I need to! And lately, my life has been a real struggle...I had MY idea of how what I WANTED but that was pretty much turned upside down and changed so I have had to learn how to adjust. Like we all do at times. But one has to TAKE the time to be still and know and in touch with God. There we find the answers to our struggles or even if not, we find comfort.
If you are one of the really rich who dont' think most people are struggling these days, you need to get off your meds (sorry, sometimes when I get angry, my sourcasm comes out:) or in touch with the real human race! For the first time in my life, I have no income and so I know now just how hard that can be on a person...By the grace of GodI"m not on the streets so don't worry:)
But getting back to our Comforter. This morning, in my Daily Word reading, I was reminded again that "For I, the Lord your God, hold your right hand; it is I who say to you "do not FEAR, I will HELP you"! Isaiah 41;13. How I needed those words of comfort. I thank him for returning me to my rational self as I've really been struggling for almost 1 1/2 years now. It's so easy to lose yourself when Illness/tragegy strikes. When our hormones rage and we become a person who we no longer recognize...I thank God for all my friends and esp for those on here who have helped me so much. I thank God for Doug setting up this website. I pray that all of you will find alittle "heaven on earth" whenever your day gets to be too much. That God will send someone to help you as he's done me so many times. And if that person can be me, I'm here for U!
WE are ALL in this together ! No matter how far apart we may be. And now If I could only remember which fav music group of mine sings "heaven on earth" I'd tell u to listen to it!
Now it's time to go make lunch. God bless and keep you../'./'

OK, I will let my sarcasm show. Maybe this page was feeling neglected and wanted to make it's point?
You are right. Things are only going to get worse and worse now. We are looking at about $8 a gallon for diesel by the end of this month or the next and gas will not be far behind as it is already over $6. There are food shortages (mainly from the drought we are having - 5-10 years depending on where you live in this country) and everything is going up. It is so hard to make the money stretch to cover the necessities of life now and any luxuries (like eating out or going to the movies or a holiday) - totally out of the question for anyone on a fixed income. Still we are a lot better off than many. We have a roof over our heads, food on the table three times a day and clothes to wear as well as wood for our fires.
And yes, we thank God every day for all that we do have.
