| Thoughts and takes on the way life presents.... |
| My neice was a 16 year old girl who took her own life on April 19. Whether by her own choice or accident is hard to say. She had a previous history of an attempted suicide at age 13. That left her with restless thoughts and disjointed actions. I can't say if she was in her right mind or not. Only God knows that. It's a good thing I am not the arbiter of people's fate. It is a good thing God is compassionate and merciful. She was beautiful, but did not see that in herself, no matter what others said. She was an artist, but did not see her own talent, no matter what others said. She was a prankster, but personalized it if she got it back. She liked to run alone. Being around people made her uncomfortable. Because she shunned attention and the boys would not leave her alone, they began to bully her and sexually harass her. The torment generated from within and from the outside became too much and that was it. Never let a tormented teen seek a confidant in someone who is also troubled and misunderstood. My neice found such a friend and they tried to ride out together with Benadryl and an alcohol chaser. She was just supposed to have an overnight with her friend. They got to talking and the next thing you know they are buying Benadryl and stealing alcohol. They found a park bench and decided to start their journey in the prettiest place they could find. One lived, one died. A jogger found them the next morning. My family's journey to the brink of hell's gate began. Jesus carry me. I need you now. Honey, may you find the peace in Jesus's arms that you could never find on this Earth. God love you, my precious niece. |
| Consider for a moment that a church is not God, just the place where you go to visit with God for a moment in a manner that is comfortable for you. Consider for a moment that God moves faster than zero, and yes, He can be in all those places at one time and visit with you in your preferred manner. Consider for a moment that you don’t know everything and what better place to learn something that will get you to the end of your days in the best manner available. Consider for a moment that God knew there would be doubters, so He sent Jesus back to the room of Disciples and displayed His wounds long enough for the reality to set in and the faith to take off. Consider for a moment that God loves you – really loves you – no matter what – even if you can’t or won’t love Him back. Consider that Jesus loves you and will help you, all you have to do is ask. Consider for a moment that we are in the last days and that Jesus will return before you know it. It will be too late to declare for Him once He gets here. |
| My advice to anyone -- when doing taxes, if you are scared, putting it off, not sure, hire a professional. For many years, I did the taxes myself with turbo tax. I think those fun days are over. Now I have to amend 2015, extend for 2016 and fear for 2017. If you are a tax professional. give free advice. That person will come back to you to fix the mess they are in. Even if they have to take a hit, they will come to you. |
| Tom is laughing so hard his eyes are tearing up. I am writing a letter to my deployed sailor friend. I loaded an envelope and then printed the letter. I now know that if you print a letter when the envelope is loaded, it will draw paper and the envelope. So I quit cussing and print the letter.... then the envelope. I now know an envelope does not self load. I quit cussing and load the envelope and print the envelope a third time. It will be a good day .... when I quit reinventing stupid. |
