I beleive in faith and prayer. This is why I am here today because of faith and prayer. Eventhough, there are challenges, but thru faith and prayer, I am here to give testimonies.

Just wanted everyone to know, being a caregiver is hard work, but it means everything to me, especially when it comes to the well-being of my hubby! Sure, it's hard, and I have suffered something like a nervous breakdown, along with going thru menopause, I think I am a pretty strong woman for the job! God is my co-pilot thru all of these trials and tribulations...and thru him, all things are possible, including taking care of our homeless situation!

Devotional: How to Deal
Proverbs 13:15, 16
15 Good understanding gains favor,
But the way of the unfaithful is hard.
16 Every prudent man acts with knowledge,
But a fool lays open his folly.
Footnotes from the Nelson Study Bible:
Favor with God and other people-- a good reputation-- is highly desirable because it assures that you will not be alone in life. It comes from good understanding.
Independent Study Notes
Verse 15: Good understanding gives the ability to act and speak tactfully. It makes you mindful of what you say and how you say it as well as what you do and how you do it. The way of the unfaithful is hard: Hard is synonymous with tactless and overbearing…harsh. Too strong and “in your face” tactics are counterintuitive and counterproductive to the furtherance of the Kingdom. It makes sense because the way of the unfaithful is completely out of the corridors of God’s will. The unfaithful are ignorant of God’s will and don’t have the tools to function in wisdom, so it’s no wonder their way is hard.
Verse 16: Prudent - adjective; meaning--
Wise in handling practical matters; exercising good judgment. Marked by wisdom or judiciousness.
The only way to deal wisely with any situation is if you have knowledge of all sides of a situation. If there are two sides, Proverbs cautions to listen to both sides because the knowledge you obtain from both sides will assist you in making a wise decision. Even in daily personal decisions, a prudent person has regard for what he/she will say and do and will think things out before taking action of any kind. “..a fool lays open his folly” because every time he opens his mouth, only confusion and idiocy (or foolishness) comes out because a fool stands for and thrives on foolishness and confusion.
The ultimate point is for your fluency to mirror your congruency...that it may lead to the affluence of wisdom. In other words, may the methodology of your use to decide what you speak and do equal what God wills consistently, so that in doing what God wills, you become affluent—that is, RICH—in wisdom.

The values that enhance life are confidence, cooperation, compassion, love, enthusiasm, faith and knowledge. These values come only through spirit. We think we can find happiness or comfort through the material, yet we know that material comfort alone is not sufficient or complete.
Happiness is a quality of consciousness. It does depend on matter, but to a far greater degree, it depends on attitude and understanding… Living the spiritual values makes your personality solid and strong.

(*) What is most needed in today's world? --- Human values. Bringing back the human values.
(*) What enlightenment is all about? --- "Mysteries are there not to understand but to live. Living the mystery of life is joy. Enlightenment is that state of being mature and unshakable in any circumstance. Come what may, nothing can rob the smile from your heart.
Enlightenment is a rare combination of innocence and intelligence, having words for expression and, at the same time, being very silent. In that state, the mind is fully in the present moment.
After making a consultation with the Lord Sri Sri Commander Dr Selvam at his holy place, I was totally rejunevated and felt very refreshed and got the feel of re birth by means of getting cleansified of my sins.
I felt condience and self motivated with full energy now. Its all beacuse of the Great Great Guruji Sri Sri Dr Commander Selvam's (Ji) supreme power. What a great power to refresh my mind and purify my soul.

From the day 1 he commissioned the temple, I was suspecious with this guy and the swamiji. Sincere Hindus cannot patronise such temple. This Commander was luring innocent public that he can solve so many problems. In this 21st century, I do not know why people believe such things.
there is no shortcut to a happy life other than hard work, sincerity and discipline.
Duty, Dignity and Discipline are the key to life as per Hinduism.

Hello everyone My name's James and i'm a new member here, & i wanted to create my blog speaking on the issue of so many people losing their homes in Georgia, and other counties and states. I really don't know what to say the real cause is of so many good people having to give up an investment that they've worked so hard to maintain but i will say that one day i do hope that the people that have lost their homes to foreclosure, will have the courage to buy another one.
I will never say that all citizens have lost their homes due to living outside of their means, because even Stevie Wonder can see that's a bold face lie! when i look at the economy today i have so much respect for those men and women that get up at the very early morning dawn just to make the day complete for those of us that get up alot later in the morning to go to work and to school. I am a firm believer that we as a people should begin to stick together and help each other and stop waiting on city government or the state government to come to our rescue.
I would love to see the young men and women helping the older generation more, and the older generation being more of an example for the young men and women, to show them that we can be a powerful influence in the neighborhoods we live in, if we work together for the same common goal.
To you men and women that i see everyday going to work in the restaurants, hotels, the police station, the elementary & high school, the banks, and most importantly you single and married mothers of the homes you take care of so well, also the city workers from the trash collector to the solicitor in traffic court. I THANK YOU! And last but not least the men that are real fathers to their children doing what a father should do, you deserve a thank you as well just for staying and helping to raise your children along with their mother.
Why do i thank you all? because i feel that you don't hear those words enough. Just know i appreciate you for all that you do, and even if i don't know you or ever meet you all, i still say thank you. I could name many more men and women that deserves a real and honest thank you but i only have so little time to do so.
In closing i hope that my blog inspires you all to think of what i've said here and make a difference in someone's life today.

We have all heard the "dig deep" sermons, which make us feel guilty about giving to the Lord. Then there are the radio and television guys using every manipulative trick in the book to get us to open our wallets and give to them. At the core of all these "guilt laden" messages is the idea that to be a “good Christian” we must tithe. And if we don’t, based on Malachi 3:8-10, we are robbing God.
Of course, no one wants to “rob God.” But is tithing the New Testament standard for the believer today? Let’s take a closer look.
Tithing was an Old Testament law, mandated by God to the nation of Israel. It was a requirement of every Israelite family to give a tenth of their produce and livestock for the support of the Levitical priesthood. The word tithe literally means one-tenth or ten percent.
The tribe of Levi was the only tribe of Israel not given an inheritance in the land by God. They were rigorously set apart by God to perform religious duties in the temple and to serve as His representatives to the people. The tithes from the remaining eleven tribes served to provide for the Levites’ needs, “I give to the Levites all the tithes in Israel as their inheritance in return for the work they do while serving at the Tent of Meeting” (Numbers 18:21).
The work of the Levites merely foreshadowed the person and work of Jesus Christ. The writer of Hebrews describes that old system in this way: “The law is only a shadow of the good things that were coming –not the realities themselves” (Hebrews 10:1). The realities are found in Christ Jesus.
Through His death and resurrection, Jesus fulfilled all that the Law of Moses required, and in so doing, ended the Levitical priesthood. Christ finished their work forever. Jesus now stands as our high priest, and the only high priest. Every reality, which the Old Testament foreshadowed, can now be experienced through faith in Him.
When Jesus fulfilled the Old Covenant, He ushered in the promised New Covenant (Jeremiah 31:31). Therefore, the old priesthood has been replaced by the new one – Jesus. Under this new covenant with its new priesthood in place, the old system of tithing no longer remains in effect. Under the New Covenant, we have a new way to share financially in His work here on earth - the grace of giving ( 2 Corinthians 8:7).
Under grace, giving is not a required activity as the law of tithing was. New Covenant giving is a natural overflow of God’s love in service to others as His Spirit controls us.
It is important that we see that God doesn’t want what is in our hands; He wants our hands. God doesn’t need money. He is far greater than limited human economic systems. God wants our hearts first, and then the right actions will follow.
As a child of God, giving should be a response to what Jesus Christ has already done and continues to do in our lives. The grace of giving flows from the heart. And it is in the heart that the Spirit of God does His work to transform us into people eager to share in God’s work.
2 Corinthians 9:7 summarizes the type of giving God desires for every believer. “Each man should give what he has decided in his heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.” We spend so much time focusing on the amount we are to give that we miss what truly matters to God. We look on the outside, and God looks at the heart. Only God’s grace can capture our hearts and produce in us overwhelming joy that wells up in generosity.
Since the Levitical priesthood has been replaced, that old system of tithing is no longer necessary. Under the New Covenant, we have a new way to share financially in His work here on earth - the grace of giving.

Presently in the U.S., we have a two-party political system which allows us to elect our leaders. The two dominant parties are those of the Democrats and the Republicans.
In this country, which was created by God through Jesus Christ, and which was discovered, formed, and developed in the name of Jesus Christ, we have been empowered to vote as citizens of this country by the U.S. Constitution and its edicts. This God-conscious constitution establishes a type of self-rule of the majority and individual rights of the minority. One primary way we exercise our rights is via the vote. Political leaders desiring elected office must woo a citizen’s vote. Each vote counts. If the Christian vote is central to that politician’s success, he will attempt to conform to Bible dictates. Hopefully, his convictions are more than just political aspirations. A Christian should exercise his or her franchise of the vote and convert as many as possible to the gospel, which in turn strengthens a Godly hold on this nation. God has placed a unique opportunity in our hands. It is the opportunity to individually promote righteousness and push back sin. Deuteronomy 30:19:
I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live:
America is in the midst of a presidential campaign with both parties attempting to woo the Christian vote. Keep in mind that Jesus Christ is not on the ballot. But if, incognito, he ran for office on the dictates of the scriptures, his chances of being elected would be nil.
Concerning this election, the job of the Christian electorate is to vote for the candidate who most resembles Christ.
In the American political landscape, we have the conservatives (who are somewhat represented by the Republican party) on the right. The liberals (who are represented by the Democratic party) are on the left. The conservative position is, simply, adhering to Bible-based principles. The Bible, in fact, is the foundation of conservatism. Understanding this concept means understanding that Jesus Christ is the author of conservatism. Jesus Christ is a true conservative. The liberal position, on the other hand, is anti-Bible.
The true conservative position, and consequently Christ’s position on the following sampling of issues, is as follows:
1. Evolution. Jesus Christ is against it. He knows the world was created in six literal 24-hour days just over 6,000 years ago. His platform would be to eliminate the teaching of evolution from U.S. textbooks. See Exodus 20:11.
2. Abortion. Jesus Christ is against it. It’s staggering! Nearly one-third of America’s children are terminated in their mothers’ wombs. His platform would be to outlaw abortion. See Exodus 20:13, Luke 1:15, and II Timothy 3:1-5.
3. Capital Punishment. Jesus Christ is for it. His platform would be to execute guilty parties swiftly. See Genesis 9:6, Exodus 20:13, Romans 13:3-5, and I Timothy 1:9-10.
4. Homosexuality. Jesus Christ is against it. The word of God calls homosexuality an abomination. The Lord’s platform would be forgiveness for those who repent and turn from their deeds. He would favor laws totally outlawing homosexuality. See Leviticus 20:13, Romans 1:21-32, I Corinthians 6:9-10, and Jude 1:7.
5. Gay Marriages. Jesus Christ is against it. Biblical marriage is, of course, between one man and one woman. Any other arrangement is considered gross error. Christ’s platform would be to ban it in America. See Matthew 19:4-6.
6. Salvation/Religion. Jesus Christ is for it. His platform would be that he alone is “the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father,” but by him. Eternal life can only be found through Christ Jesus. See John 14:6 and Acts 4:10-12.
A true Christian should vote for the candidate who holds the word of God without compromise. What if every candidate on the ballot is so anti-Christ that it makes it impossible to vote for any one of them?
Write in Jesus Christ.

I am a positive individual trying to do positive things with my life and I have a real desire to be successful. I have come to you looking for sponsorship or possible clientele to help aid me in my journey as I make this dream of mine a reality. As a sponsor or client of mine I am asking for support from you to get things done and help with things I need to move ahead.
Some of these things as a sponsor could include aiding me when I need pictures updated for my portfolio, staying fit so that I can give the clients what they are looking for and need, possible assistance to auditions out of town, or simply giving me financial support. As a client, I am asking to be called to represent you to the fullest with reasonable compensation in return.
Know that by backing me as a sponsor would be a positive act, and it would also be a positive reflection to the community of you and a way to give back to the community by showing that you do care about your society. Also as a sponsor or client I will advertise things about you and your company at every function and show I participate in to help build your clientele, advertise things about you on a daily basis, market what ever products I have or come across of yours, and make myself available for work for you be it print ads or commercials. If there are other things you feel you would like or desire of me I am ready to review what you have in mind so that we can come to a mutual agreement.
When you say yes to the request I have presented to you, I am most certain you will see that by sponsoring me or becoming a client can help us both.

I generally don't like getting those "forwarded" email cutesy things but since this one didn't require that I open some unknown attachment, I went ahead and read it. Plus it came from one of my closest crack pot friends. This ditty has been around in different varieties but the meaning is the same. Don't make perfection the standard for anyone because it doesn't leave room for anything else: no beauty, no grace, no fellowship, no meaning, no truth; be content with "good." Remember as you read this that you have to get over the whole "talking pot" thing in order to understand the parable.
An elderly Chinese woman had two
large pots, each hung on the ends of a pole which she carried across her neck.
One of the pots had a crack in it while the other pot was perfect and
always delivered a full portion of water.
At the end of the long walks
from the stream to the house, the cracked pot arrived only half full.
For a full two years this went on daily, with the woman bringing home
only one and a half pots of water.
Of course, the perfect pot was proud
of its accomplishments.
But the poor cracked pot was ashamed of its own
imperfection, and miserable that it could only do half of what it had been
made to do.
After two years of what it perceived to be bitter failure,
it spoke to the woman
one day by the stream.
'I am ashamed of myself,
because this crack in my side causes water to leak out all the way back to
your house.'
The old woman smiled, 'Did you notice that there are
flowers on your side of the path, but not on the other pot's side?'
'That's because I have always known about your flaw, so I planted
flower seeds on your side of the path, and every day while we walk back, you
water them.'
'For two years I have been able to pick these beautiful
flowers to decorate the table.
Without you being just the way you are,
there would not be this beauty to grace the house.'
Each of us has our
own unique flaw. But it's the cracks and flaws we each have that make our
lives together so very interesting and rewarding.
You've just got to
take each person for what they are and look for the good in them.
SO,
to all of my crackpot friends, have a
great day and remember to smell the
flowers on your side of the path!
Don't forget your Crack Pot friends and don't ever be ashamed of being one yourself!

On paths less taken , that is what he teaches. I am there............. I will watch over you on the path less taken. In the wilderness I found the most protection off the beaten path, where men did not venture. This was the way for me the next 6 to 7 years of my life. Greenman is the voice of the wind, the sound of that flows through the wood, the birds, the tree frogs, the crow.... a messenger, and all the creatures that inhabit the wood. He reaches up to the heavens, roots imbedded deep within the earth. If you look closely you can see his face among the branches, full of wisdom. Nothing is hidden from him. Life giving.... shelter, food and the very air we breath.................................................
.............The life I have written about here is a past life. There is no burden to bear....my father dyed a lonely death and it was over, his rein of terror and his families rein of terror... at least for me, it was over. I wrote of these things because an important man in my life found me unworthy of it.(Life) ..................
