Does anybody know where lip balm goes? It always seems to disappear. I buy some and put it in my
hand bag. Then when I go to use some, it is gone. Same with the one I put in my coat pocket.And the one I put in my drawer. I think they run away with the missing socks.

Ladies, I like to read about what you have to say about birds. Cheryl, I was going to ask you about your birdhouses, but you wrote about them before I asked. Margie, It is always a special treat when a person gets to see a humming bird up close. Leigh, I used to have chickens and I wish I still could have chickens but for the whole two years that I had the chickens, I had a rash, then when I gave them away the rash went away. I also in my heart so enjoyed having chickens that I wanted to sell eggs but even if I was not allergic to the chickens, the county would have stopped me from selling eggs. Right now we have two parakeet birds here that belong to Bucky and they are kept in the shed and I don't go near them, I just looked at them once.
We still have our birdhouses here and birds are always in there. I was going to dig out of the ground some large tumbleweeds around here but I found that small birds make nests in them, bird about the size of parakeets with eggs almost as big as a marble.
Catt, I think you figured it out as to where the lip balm goes.

LA always has high speed chases to watch on the news. What is with those people that live there that they like to do that all the time?
Icky, nothing ruins a deviled egg like finding an egg shell in it, I should have worn my eye glasses when I made it.
I looked on-line for ideas on what to use old coffee cans for, so far I have lots of coffee cans and no ideas of what to use them for, until I throw some of them away, then about a month later I will wish I had them to use for something.

What have you heard lately on Al Jazerra American news? I have never listened to it, or if you read it instead.
I heard some news today that Saudi Arabia is going to hire 8 more men to be executioners of prisoners, to behead those that do not follow Sharia law.
Pastor Paul and his group were pulled over by the Israel police today and detained, he video taped some of it where they got out of the car and told the police woman what luggage belonged to which person. I hope he is on the airplane now. Two days ago his wife was chased by a camel.

Hi everyone.I am sorry I haven't posted in so long.I have PP'S but they don't always work.I can sit here about 30 min.I read and sometimes I can post.I just don't want to cause things are so bad here and who wants to hear all that?Right now,I was talking with my niece and she hung up on me,crying and won't call back.She got her feelings hurt by something I told her and I am very upset that I told her.I forget other people have problems accepting bad things being said about them.I do remember how bad that feels and she doesn't have the Lord to run to,but she always has me.Please pray for her to call me back so I can comfort her if possible. Maybe that's why I haven't wanted to talk to anyone,cause I am always saying the wrong things!!Love Ruthanne |

Ruthanne, I don't think anyone here feels like you say the wrong things, I think the ladies looks forward to reading your posts. We all have different personalities, yet we accept each other.

Hi .I forgot I was among friends here,this A.M. when I posted.I don't know if anyone prayed but she did call back and we talked it out.I was very upset this morn,cause she was crying and she never does that,she fights.I wasn't feeling sorry for myself ,I was just berating myself cause I can't control my mouth.I am a work in progress.Thank you all for sticking up for me to me,lol.I am my second worst enemy sometimes.We all know who my first enemy is ,we all have the same enemy. The Lord has taken me from trusting Him to now,when He seems to be growing me up in the Faith.I seldom feel Him except when I am being chastised,but He never leaves me so I figure He is teaching me to WALK in faith .And of course I live for the moments when I am so down I don't know up from down,saved from lost,cause I feel hopeless and THEN He comes and puts my heart and mind at ease.I cry much more but I am growing in that He is showing me I can stand on His Word.Indeed,that is the only solid ground I have to stand on right now.He has spent years trying to teach me to walk and now He is letting go of me and telling me I can walk in faith and He will never let me fall and hurt myself.So I feel like I am learning I can walk ,now He is preparing me for service.That used to scare me to death,now I am kind of looking forward to it,though I don't know how He can use me,I want to work for Him.I am not there yet,as I can't even walk half a block to check my mail,lol.I now live in a cul-de-sac and I am afraid people will call me over to talk to them. Sorry folks,I have to get up from here but I wanted to share a little and thank you all for your support. Hi Mark!!!I have been reading so I wanted to let you and one cat mom I am so glad you guys are back.,Love Ruthanne |

Ruthanne, First, I love what you have to say. I feel Jesus in your words.
I feel Him telling me how precious you are. And that there is hope and
possibility with Him. I don't know why I feel that way. I can't give an
example, but I know the Holy Spirit is alive and living in you.

Hello.I just wanted to thank you all,especially all my friends who remember better than I all I have learned from here. Catt,thank you so much.I felt a kinda confirmation of what Jesus is telling me in your words.I couldn't receive a better compliment than that you hear Jesus in my words!So many times I just wish I could give Jesus to some of the people I meet when I am out,but won't know if I have planted anything til the Judgement seat of Christ.Being the way I am(housebound) I often don't see many people but it seems like The Lord uses me in all the people I do meet.I hope so.I know I will have at least one crown to lie at the feet of Jesus.For I have the crown of salvation,which rightfully belongs to Him and I pray I might be able to lay more at His feet.It's not over til it's over. On another note,Deloris,Larry's sister came over today and I was telling her about my thoughts about going to school for something and she told me there is no way!You can't even go to the store by yourself.(I do,too)!Larry gave me the "look" like quit talking stupid.And I told her that I was running Cathy all over for 2 or 3 years and I was terrified most of the time but the Lord didn't take my panic away ,He just got me throught it ,over and over.She told me she would believe it when she sees it and Lar don't believe it at all.But I am not upset,cause when I do whatever the Lord tells me too,all glory will go to Him!!!That makes me happy.And once I learn total obedience I know He will show them that He is a force to be reckoned with,ha!I guess you can TELL YOUR RESPONSES HAVE CHEERED ME UP SO MUCH. Oops caps lock.Sorry.lol. One more note.Larry is getting so much worse,I fear I have only a couple of years with him.Please pray for his breathing and that I will be able to help him love his last time on earth.Love you all,Ruthanne |

Ruthanne, I can't remember. Is Larry saved? Does he have a personal relationship with Jesus?
I need to know how to pray.
ps The Caps Lock looks intentional there.

I just wanted to pop in here right quick and apologize for not posting more this week... Lulu, I never did comment on that wild ride your son took you on (sort of - I know you were in a separate car) and am SO grateful that nobody was hurt!!!!! Something you said about it made me laugh (although I don't remember it word-for-word).... I think the comment was that you couldn't say what you said! Haha! Ruthanne, I've been keeping up with you too and of course you know we all love you here, and Catt said it perfectly. I am so very sorry to hear that Larry is not well though. Do you know if is COPD, or something similar? Praying for all of your family. Hugs. Mark, it is so nice to have you chatting in here with us! A four day break is an awesome thing - John has that too and he is looking forward to it as well! Seven, hope you are able to get a little rain (or a lot!). Anna, thank you for answering about the chickens. I'm sorry they cause you to have a rash. Have you checked Pinterest for coffee can ideas? I know what you mean about soon as you get rid of them, you'll find some brilliant way to use them. Things like that happen to me all the time. I don't have coffee cans, but I save glass jars. Have you seen the painted mason jars? (Look here: www.google.com/search?q=painted+ball+jars&espv=2&biw=1152&bih=662&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ei=cL9eVbmDKM7uoAT1hIH4Bw&ved=0CB0QsAQ) They are so pretty! When I helped at the teacher appreciation tea at Daniel's school, one of the moms had brought beautiful pastel-colored jars with small bunches of fresh flowers to make centerpieces for the tables. They were gorgeous! I really want to do that, and it is supposed to be easy. But crafts = mess and I've got enough of that already! Missing lip balm, spoons, lids, socks, etc.... same thing here too! HA! Cindy and Cheryl, hope you're both feeling better. Well it's 1:30 a.m. here. Oh my. And Daniel only just went to bed and wants me to get him up at 6:00 so he can finish a school project. We will NEVER wake up!!!!! |

Hello and hugs to all. Lots more rain today! No yard work, no sitting on the patio, and I had to dig out warm clothes again. Made pot roast for supper. It seems like I should make a pot of hot tea but this is the end of May!
Hope everyone has a good weekend.

Hi Seven-
Unfortunately I don't think CA will get the rain, such drought in the southwester states, it will probably make food prices go higher, there is a lot of talk about water, and forget those navy ships there with distillers providing water with the nuclear radiation in the water there that is still coming over from Japan.
Leigh
I agree with Daniel about the acronym LOL or ROTFL I don't like them either. I do like HA, or HA HA better.
Ruthanne
It is to bad that when you told your family members about your interest in going back to school, that they reacted the way they did. It would have been nicer if they would have said to you, how interesting, let talk about it. Have you prayed first to the Lord to talk to you about it. It would be good if you could talk to a person who does do that job, that would give you so much insight into what the job is like.

Hi everyone.Christian spent the night last night and tonight he will be back.Tyler has already claimed tomorrow night,lol.
Y'all ,I was really worried about Larry's salvation and I was praying the Lord would show me so I could stop bugging Larry about it.I couldn't witness to him as he knows all my flaws and is a fault-finder.So I asked Jesus.Later that day ,Larry just up and told me he thought he had got saved when he was a child.I asked was he sure and he told me how it happened .It sounded right and I thought the Lord was reassuring me.But I have never felt the Spirit in him and wonder if I will ever be able to as I see the hardness of his heart and the only real love he has is for me.He loves Steven ,but not unconditionally.He does love the grandkids unconditionally.He may be saved but he has never studied the Word and I can't tell you if he prays.I know his COPD is much worse but he won't try to help himself.He is supposed to take 3 nebulizer treatments every day and he won't.None.He smokes as much as me,about 2 or 3 pks. a day.It hurts him to breathe.He used to take one pain pill a day , he had to. Now he is up to three a day.and sometimes some of mine(hardly ever,he hates pills).But he says his chest and head hurt all the time.He coughs and nothing but white stuff comes up cause everything is STUCK in his lungs.He has 20% lung capacity.
Considering my illness,I can understand why they don't believe me.I have never finished anything I ever started,except my marriage.I will be married for life and never again.But I know what the Lord is capable of.I haven't asked Him exactly what I am to do and I doubt He would tell me now.He probably wants me ready for whatever He chooses.I guess He will know when and what so why should I worry?I am committed to obeying,(even scared)whatever He wants ,even if it is just to go to church every time I can and being a servant there.See,I don't have a clue yet.And the family knows how I am so why would they believe me?I understand and I won't be alone if I do something even if they don't support me,Jesus will and I just want to glorify God somehow,someway .I have lived a very disobediant life and I pray it isn't too late.I think of Moses,80 yrs old and a murderer,and Israel,with the deceptions of his youth and how many years it took for them to be obediant,and then God could use them.So I have to believe He can use me somehow.
Larry just came home from an afternoon with his sister,Deloris,they drove around and reminisced(SP) about their childhood.I told her yesterday Larry needed to get out of this apt and talk to someone besides me.They also went to see his only brother,Buddy,who gave us the trailer we lived in.They are selling(or trying to)the Ponderosa(as they named it ).Where we used to live.He is down from Ill. Where they bought another house cause they missed all their family.But now they are here to do some work on the yard and try once again to find someone who will mow and weed-eat without supervision.And do it right.His wife Dixie is one of the unlovelys that we must love,even if we don't like them.And she is mean to me but I do love her soul.She has alot to answer for ,for the way she treated me,but it was before she was born again.After the Lord asked me to ask her if she was born again and she told me it was a very personal question and gave me the runaround.Thank Jesus He told me to be quiet and go on and pray for her.The runaround was how she was such a good person,who helped anyone she could and was always doing good deeds.I guess I was right to shut up.Anyway,not long after that they started going to a Baptist church in Kennett and went faithfully.I hope she was born again.She even brought me 2 CD'S from their services,so I could hear her preacher.She is 70.
I started this this morn.But C took me to the bank and went in the store for me and then we went to their house(me and C) and I saw Steven was home.He got off at 10 this morn.I wanted to go home ,but Steven said"You can't wait long enough for the coffee to make?"So I could tell he was proud I came over and Levi had just woke up,as had Robin and when I let my hair down Levi knew me.He knows my voice but he also knows my hair is wild.When he saw my hair he started smiling and doing the baby scream.He is pulling up and crawling like the wind.I got to give him his first choc. milk.Boy he smacked those lips (he does that alot and he says Da-Da).Still no teeth.Robin says he is scared of her mom.And I found out why she never brings him over.I have concrete floors(tile),and she is afraid he could really hurt himself if he falls here.I told her he would be ok.4 adults and 2 big kids,is plenty of supervision to keep him safe.The whole family is coming over tomorrow and we may have a b-b-cue Sun as Steven works Monday.I am so proud of him.He is growing up,finally.C says he works every day and some Sat. He pays his bills,gives the kids 20.00 allowance(he never did that)And he is not giving up on Robin.C also told me his mom pretty much stays home now.Oh,yay.That means she is not out looking for things.Y'all know.And she is staying away from the people who do.God is so good.He is almost 40 ,time to grow up.the best thing for all of us is our move here a year ago,cause he had to work or his whole family would be homeless..
Well I have caught y'all up and now maybe all my posts won't be about me and mine.Also,I want people who might read this see how it is when Jesus is your Lord.Not easier but peaceful,even in uncertainty.And the peace is priceless.
I love y'all and will reply to everyone tomorrow.I love y'all's,Ruthanne
