I'm Back! Full Time! Every Day, 7 Days A Week!

The house is no where close to finished but finished is not
something I expect for a few years. The exterior is finished except
for the deck which is planned for the spring. The interior is still
in
primer paint and waiting on inspiration and free time. I won't
bother
you with all the details right away... I do that randomly and with
pictures as we go!

My first goal is to revamp all of the websites and lists that I have
neglected
so.. Not to mention a mountain of mail that has built up over nine
months time.
But I'll get to it all with due time... In the meantime I hope you
enjoy today's inspirations

Nancy

Today's Story

I have Learned
Carol Roach, M.Ed
I have learned that just because somebody says I love you, does not
necessarily make it so.
I have learned that just because somebody doesn't say I love you in
words, does not mean it is not shown in actions.
I have learned that sometimes a person just needs to vent, they
don't want or need advice. What they want is someone to listen to
them.
I have learned that the angriest children and grownups are sometimes
the very people that need love the most.
I have learned that when a person pushes away from you, it is
oftentime the time he/she needs you the most.
I have also learned that when a person pushes away from you, perhaps
you have come on too strong.
I have learned to respect my own personal space as well as the space
of others.
I have learned that I do not always have to be right to have people
love and respect me.
I have learned that my world will not fall apart if I am wrong. When
I acknowledge the wrong and correct it, it keeps my world together.
I have learned that the world does not evolve around me, but I am a
very special person in it.
I have learned that everyone is special in their own way.
I have learned the wonderful power of God.

WARM HEARTS
By: Joseph J. Mazzella
The cold weather of Winter returned to the mountains of my home
recently. Several inches of fresh snow fell again covering the
landscape in white. Steam rose from my breath as I walked my dogs
outside. A quiet peace filled the woods around me as I smiled and
breathed in deep the chill of the air. I didn't mind that my nose
was numb and my fingers felt like ice. I didn't mind that my feet
were cold and my lips were chapped. I didn't even mind that my
middle-aged bones were aching a bit. I didn't mind any of it,
because my heart was warm. My heart was warm with the beauty of the
evening sunset over the far mountains. My heart was warm with the
delight of watching my dogs jumping joyfully in the snow. My heart
was warm with the peace and love of God that I felt within me and
all around me while I walked over this sparkling field of white.
I was thinking too that if God can keep our hearts warm in the
middle of a cold Winter's day then God can keep our hearts warm in
the middle of a sometimes cold world. Yes, this world is often full
of heart freezing hate, bone chilling apathy, and bitterly cold
meanness. Sometimes we worry about even going out in it for fear
that it will turn our own souls to ice. God's love, however, is
always there waiting to keep us warm and waiting to help us warm the
world around us as well.
God loves us so much. He gives us so much peace, love, joy, beauty,
and delight to warm our hearts, souls, and minds. He gives us so
many opportunities to choose and share this glorious warmth everyday
of our lives. He gives us all the chance to be one with Him and to
help Him bring this warmth to the world. It is up to us, however. We
can wrap ourselves and others in the warm coat of God's love and joy
or we can continue to shiver out in the cold.

Trip Into Hell
Bill Walker
wildbill6807@...
Maybe trip into hell isn't the right words. But to the people that
lived there, and so on it might be close. I am speaking of Katrina.
One that has never seen what is left after a battle of war, might
like to see this war zone. I think it would be about the same. Now I
don't think it is wise to take your next R and R trip there. You
might not like paying 131 dollars a night for a room in a motel.
More on motels in a bit.
Leah and I met many people of many different reasons for being
there. Each had a story.
There was people that lived there at one time. Those had a home of
some class, now most are what one could call homeless. Each has a
story to tell. Each for the most part had insurance, now the
insurance people don't know them. They also was people who was tax
payers. Now some wonder if they are known by the government at
times.
Now I will try best I can to tell what I seen
I seen buildings, some standing with windows and doors blown out.
Some with more damage, maybe you could tell those was buildings say
two or three stories. Some buildings just could say there was a
building a few months ago. Now it is a pile of rubble.
Now this also was the case for houses. There was houses with tar
paper roofs now. Some whole roof was covered from end to end. While
some just a few feet. Then you would see houses with no roof at all.
That is nothing to really put tar paper on. Oh the wall might still
be there, but the real roof was total gone with the wind. Then you
would see houses with a side blown out, many like that There would
be houses that even had been moved. I seen one that the house moved
enough, one wall was right against a tree. The house looked like it
was kind of broken in the middle. That is the roof wasn't in to
great a shape. Lots of houses had the look of a box torn open to get
what was inside, then you would stomp on it after getting the
goodies out. I seen many a pile of what once was inside of a house
near the streets. There was also many a pile of what was once a fine
home.
Now people let me tell you something. From the pictures one may see
of these homes, one might say a lot of these homes didn't amount to
much. Don't you believe it. These homes for the most part ran in the
range of 200,000 dollars and up. One home that looked like the city
dump, ran in the range of one million dollars. There isn't a wall
left standing, just one big pile of rubble, with many little piles
of rubble here and there.
When wind can take out a large well built bridge, you have been in a
storm. When wind can take out old long standing government
buildings, that is a storm. Now the insurance people claims is, it
was all water that did the damage. I would like to add my two bits
here.
I seen a row of columns standing, all leaning the same way. Water?
Well maybe, but these were big fellows. I would believe more like a
wind storm, maybe did have help of water. A bridge made a pile of
rubble. I believe a bridge is a way to cross water. There fore the
bridge would be made to stand water, and the flow and force of
water. Now I have pictures of said bridge. The thing that is damaged
best I can see was the deck or rood way of bridge. What would cause
that? WIND!!!!
Now I found another thing that debunks the water, or flood idea.
Leah home was nearer to the water. About a mile more inland is a
golf course. First off Leah does not play golf, never had such a
thing as a golf ball. I found what looked like brand new golf balls
on her land. I think a couple things here. These golf balls may have
never met up with a golf club, or was hit one time and lost in the
rough. Now I did find about 4, or 5 balls. Would water have carried
them to her little corner of the world? Maybe but I would think more
like what is said a wind storm can do.
Any fool knows, these storms comes with two things. That is wind,
and water. The wind picks up large amounts of water, building up
stronger as it moves. It dumps the water like you can't believe,
both before and after the eye passed by. You are going to get hit by
large amounts of water before, and after. So say your home with
stood the first dumping of water, the wind ripped the place apart.
How what is left gets the dumping of water from the back side. So
you will have rubble that is wetted down.
Now we seen motels that had a couple of feet of water in the first
floor. The walls and such was left standing. Some damage here or
there to allow water in. Rain water, not a flood from the sea.
Now I know the cost of a motel room in normal times does cost a bit
more there. You know how that goes. Any where people likes to go for
a special get away, cost is always more. But now we have the excuse
of rooms are really hard to find. So the cost may go up more. This
one place, the power is off to run the elevaters. but we charge 110
dollars a night for a bed. Also we do not have other things we would
have if things was up to par. Another motel charges 131 dollars. The
inside looks like a war zone. Don't drink the water or take a bath.
seems like the water has a funny brown look to it. In normal time we
have a breakfast for you. Not now, but the price is said to be the
same as if we did.
Every thing is not a bummer. Let me tell you one thing or two. I
found many good people. I in fumbling around got stuck by a rusty
nail. I went to a certain place to get the needed shot. I waited my
turn at the first aid tent. One lady helped me fill out the paper. I
had forgot my glasses. I use any excuse to talk to a pretty lady you
know. She told me much. Each person there was in the medical field
some where. She was from Canada. Nice people wouldn't you say? Each
had came for the most part to help out in time of need. God Bless
them.
There was many people like this, they were in some field of work
back home some where. They are really needed here in this sad time
in history. I seen many church groups from all over, there with
help, working with one another. I seen no church group beating the
drums of church thinking, but to help those in time of need. Now
that is Christian. Sure the vans might be marked with Last Baptist
Church of North Carolina or something like that, but they were there
to help. I seen many signs, of different churches, from different
towns and states. Just good people, all with heart.
I also seen and did talk to men that had come to work from different
places. Lots of them worked for a city else where. The city sent
them to do the same work here with pay and so on just like they were
working at home. Yes people does have heart.
We also seen something real strange. I never in my life seen armed
guards out side of an insurance office. Leah found her insurance
man. That is the one that took her money. He now has two standing
out side the door. Armed guards that is.

From Ruthie
GOD KNOWS

* When you are tired and discouraged from fruitless efforts...
* God knows how hard you have tried.

* When you've cried so long and your heart is in anguish...
* God has counted your tears.

* If you feel that your life is on hold and time has passed you by...
* God is waiting with you.

* When you're lonely and your friends are too busy even for a phone
call...
* God is by your side.

* When you think you've tried everything and don't know where to
turn...
* God has a solution.

* When nothing makes sense and you are confused or frustrated...
* God has the answer.

* If suddenly your outlook is brighter and you find traces of hope...
* God has whispered to you.

* When things are going well and you have much to be thankful for...
* God has blessed you.

* When something joyful happens and you are filled with awe...
* God has smiled upon you.

* When you have a purpose to fulfill and a dream to follow...
* God has opened your eyes and called you by name.

* Remember that wherever you are or whatever you are facing...
* GOD KNOWS!!!
