A little humor:

A LOGICAL SOLUTION.

Now here is a problem that finally has a formula for getting to the bottom of an age old problem.
From a strictly mathematical viewpoint it goes like this:

What Makes 100%? What does it mean to give MORE than 100%? Ever wonder about those people who say they are giving more than 100%? We have all been to those meetings where someone wants you to give over 100%. How about achieving 103%? What makes up 100% in life?

Here's a little mathematical formula that might help you answer these questions:

If:
A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z is represented as:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26.

Then:

H-A-R-D-W-O-R-K
8+1+18+4+23+15+18+11 = 98%
and
K-N-O-W-L-E-D-G-E
11+14+15+23+12+5+4+7+5 = 96%

But,

A-T-T-I-T-U-D-E
1+20+20+9+20+21+4+5 = 100%

And,

B-U-L-L-S-*-*-T
2+21+12+12+19+8+9+20 = 103%

AND, look how far a** kissing will take you.

A-*-*-K-I-S-S-I-N-G
1+19+19+11+9+19+19+9+14+7 = 118%

So, one can conclude with mathematical certainty that While Hard work and Knowledge will get you close, and Attitude will get you there, it's the Bulls**t and A** Kissing that will put you over the top.

God bless you Misty and prayers that you will have peace, rest and your mind and spirit will be refreshed.

Also "seek' and you shall find "knock' and it will open. I do have time to "be still and know" but I have to let my heart out, it blesses me and hopefully does some good.

Happy Birthday JB!
I was born as best I can remember on December 2nd in 1951. That makes me young, right? I just wanted to wish myself a happy birthday, just in case no one else does.

I'll be honest...I didn't read more than the first page of this post. I will also say that this is the first time I've ventured into the religion threads at all. I say this for a reason.

Last week, I hit rock bottom. I've been out of work. I'm living with my daughter. I have no income. I lost my apartment. I'm close to losing my car. My car insurance expired. My cell phone is $400 past due. There is no house phone, this is my only means of communication, i.e., my only way to be contacted by an employer...My storage unit, which holds everything I own, will sell my items if not paid by Dec 5th. I could go on and on.
I have depression..bordering on bi-polar with suicidal tendencies..and at this point I'm untreated.
Yes...I'm telling way too much, I know..but bear with me.
Saturday night was horrible for me. I couldn't sleep. All I could think about was killing myself. I have enough medications in my cabinet, that it could be done. I thought of running a hose from my car exhaust in thru a window and dying that way. I could vividly picture putting a gun to my head...and could see the mess it would leave. I cried alot...it was all I could do to make myself stay in bed. I was afraid to get out of bed. Afraid of what I would do.

Sunday afternoon I had a talk with a friend of mine. We've never met in person. I met him on another site, but we talk alot. I told him what I was going thru. He told me that he found something recently to help him get thru the tough times. He told me I need to give my problems to God. I need to go to church, and pray. And let God lead me. I promised him I would do that. We sat on here and we prayed together. And I cried some more.

Monday, I got a call..and was offered a job. The last company I worked for had been holding my paycheck because they didn't have the money to cover it. I got the call on Monday that I could cash that check. I was able to make my car payment, my storage payment and a payment on my cell phone.

I'm not out of the clear. I still have a lot of work to do. But I honestly believe God helped me. I will keep my promise and go to church.

Maybe this is out of context. I don't know. I'm still scared. I still don't know how to reach out and do this alone. But I'm learning.

When I think about it, it thinks about me. How did I know it?

and a poor man is better than a liar.

This little verse is for all the moms. author posted unknown.

A baby asked God, "They tell me you are sending me to earth tomorrow, but how am I going to live there being so small and helpless?"

"Your angel will be waiting for you and will take care of you."

The child further inquired, "But tell me, here in heaven I don't have to do anything but sing and smile to be happy."

God said, "Your angel will sing for you and will also smile for you. And you will feel your angel's love and be very happy."

Again the child asked, "And how am I going to be able to understand when people talk to me if I don't know the language?"

God said, "Your angel will tell you the most beautiful and sweet words you will ever hear, and with much patience and care, your angel will teach you how to speak."

"And what am I going to do when I want to talk to you?"

God said, "Your angel will place your hands together and will teach you how to pray."

"Who will protect me?"

God said, "Your angel will defend you even if it means risking it's life."

"But I will always be sad because I will not see you anymore."

God said, "Your angel will always talk to you about Me and will teach you the way to come back to Me, even though I will always be next to you."

At that moment there was much peace in Heaven, but voices from Earth could be heard and the child hurriedly asked, "God, if I am to leave now, please tell me my angel's name."

"You will simply call her, 'Mom.'"

Good Morning all....Hope everyone is having a glorious day.


Winnie: The Lord so put this on my heart for you sweets. I have a friend on line that I have been talking to for quite some time. He was like you not being patient for God to send just the right gal for him. I said to him, "Rodney it's not up to you, it's all in God's hands". He said but Debbie I too am tired of waiting. Well he just found Ms. Right her name is also Debbie and they are both sooooo perfect for each other. So just remember Winnie....God's time not ours....love you gal-pal

Also my friend noden sent this to me today....and it was so awesome I just wanted to share.

I~ FRIENDS ~

As we walk our path of life,
We meet people everyday.
Most are simply met by chance.
But, some are sent our way.

These become special friends
Whose bond we can't explain;
The ones who understand us
And share our joy and pain.

Their love contains no boundaries.
So, even we are apart.
Their presence enhances us
With a warmth felt in the heart.

This love becomes a passageway,
When even the miles disappear.
And so, these friends, God sends our way,
Remain forever near
