MY STORY.....................

I was asked many years ago to give my testimony of how I became a Christian…. and because of knowing how nervous I would be to stand before an audience and tell my story; a very personal story at that; that I blurted out the first thing that came to my mind. “Oh, my testimony is just like all the...

MY CHRISTMAS QUILTS......................

I still have the Christmas quilt I gave my mother several years ago. When she died, I took it and have used it every year when the weather gets cooler. It isn’t a fancy quilt; just a solid color on one side and bright Christmas colors of houses and blocks of geometric designs on the other side but I... Sign in to see full entry.

Thought for the Day...............

People who tell you never to let the little things bother you have never tried sleeping in a room with a mosquito..... **With rushing to and fro with buying gifts, going to parties etc.....try not to let the little things get to you this holiday season.

Hello, folks. Hope some of you have gotten in the Christmas spirit. I started in November one day while out shopping with my daughters and Wow...it just kept on going...

I was looking for a Toilet and found this..............................

Have you ever had to replace your toilet? It became evident to me that when the bowl got scratched a few months ago, in our main bathroom, I felt I was being judged as a poor housekeeper. The truth is... my husband scratched the bowl when he was cleaning it out with a router...but it just looked... Sign in to see full entry.

FINDING THE "LIGHT SIDE" in a STRESSFUL WORLD.................

Monday morning I come in to my office and find the fax machine has jammed again…only to realize that there are 44 papers coming but the real “kicker” is that they have been faxed to the wrong school!!! And…….I have to have “special paper” to put in this darn thing because the agency buys the... Sign in to see full entry.

I slipped it in her bag and hoped she didn't catch me!

I overheard a women the other morning at the front counter of the school office say to a co-worker that she, "Didn't have extra money to go buy some more black pants!". It is required now for certain staff to wear uniforms here. The facility is to furnish the shirts but it is the employee's... Sign in to see full entry.

Why I do What I do?............ What do you Do?

I used to go home some days and wonder what am I doing...HERE in this place. But after about two months, I realized that I am here for a reason. I found a card that says, "I believe we are HERE for a REASON.... As each day unfolds, we see LESS of the shadow and MORE of the SUN. So that's why I work... Sign in to see full entry.

I'm gonna give my MOM a big hug!...........................

That was the answer I got this morning when I asked a young man what was he going to do when he was released from here and went home. I usually get, "Oh, I'm going to college." or "I'll get a job." or "I'm gonna eat as much pizza as I can!"..... I work in an incarcerated facility for youth (boys)... Sign in to see full entry.

The night was quiet for only awhile............then the snoring began...

I know there are many treatments out there for snoring but what truly works for you? Does your spouse or partner wear ear plugs? Do they sleep in separate bedrooms when the noise gets so loud? Do they seek a "Sleep Center" and go through the process of sleeping in a lab etc.. to find what will cure... Sign in to see full entry.
