What an Awesome God of Perfection!!! Wow!

What an awesome and orderly GOD!! I think this is sooooo awesome and just have to share it.

For example: -the eggs of the potato bug hatch in 7 days; -those of the canary in 14 days;-those of the barnyard hen in 21 days; -The eggs of ducks and geese hatch in 28 days; -those of the mallard in 35 days; -The eggs of the parrot and the ostrich hatch in 42 days. (Notice, they are all divisible by seven , the number of days in a week!)

The lives of each of you may be ordered by the Lord in a beautiful way for His glory, if you will only entrust Him with your life. If you try to regulate your own life, it will only be a mess and a failure. Only the One Who made the brain and the heart can successfully guide them to a profitable end.

God's wisdom is seen in the making of an elephant.. The four legs of this great beast all bend forward in the same direction. No other quadruped is so made.
God planned that this animal would have a huge body, too large to live on two legs. For this reason He gave it four fulcrums so that it can rise from the ground easily. The horse rises from the ground on its two front legs first. A cow rises from the ground with its two hind legs first.

How wise the Lord is in all His works of creation!God's wisdom is revealed in His arrangement of sections and segments, as well as in the number of grains
Each watermelon has an even number of stripes on the rind. -Each orange has an even number of segments. -Each ear of corn has an even number of rows. -Each stalk of wheat has an even number of grains. -

Every bunch of bananas has on its lowest row an even number of bananas, and each row decreases by one, so that one row has an even number and the next row an odd number.

-The waves of the sea roll in on shore twenty-six to the minute in all kinds of weather. All grains are found in even numbers on the stalks, and the Lord specified thirty fold, sixty fold, and a hundredfold - all even numbers.

God has caused the flowers to blossom at certain specified times during the day, so that Linnaeus, the great botanist, once said that if he had a conservatory containing the right kind of soil, moisture and temperature, he could tell the time of day or night by the flowers that were open and those that were closed!Thus the Lord in His wonderful grace can arrange the life that is entrusted to His care in such a way that it will carry out His purposes and plans, and will be fragrant with His presence.

Only the God-planned safe life is successful. Only the life given over to the care of the Lord is fulfilled. Let's all enjoy each and every blessing of Mother Nature and the God of our Creation. He is!!!

Who Among Us Should Lead? Hummm...= )

I thought that the following lesson is sooo great. Life (and God) always has a way of surprising us from time to time. We like to 'think' we know at least a few answers to daily ups and downs...yet sometimes....we just simply 'miss the mark'. I hope you enjoy the following...that it gives you inside, renewed inspirations and a smile to your lips...as we all have to contend with life and ....it's surprises...both the bad....AND, thank God, the GOOOD!!!!! = ) Blessings,

A successful business man was growing old and knew it was time to choose a successor to take over the business. Instead of choosing one of his Directors or his children, he decided to dosomething different. He called all the young executives in his companytogether. He said, "It is time for me to step down and choose the next CEO.

I have decided to choose one of you." The young executives were shocked, but the boss continued. "I am going to give each one of you a SEED today - one very special SEED. I want you to plant the seed, water it, and come back here one year from today with what you have grown from the seed I have given you. I will then judge the plants that you bring, and the one I choose will be the next CEO."

One man, named Jim, was there that day and he, like the others, received a seed.He went home and excitedly, told his wife the story. Shehelped him get a pot, soil and compost and he planted the seed. Everyday, he would water it and watch to see if it had grown. After about three weeks, some of the other executives began to talk about their seeds and the plants that were beginning to grow.Jim kept checking his seed, but nothing ever grew. Three weeks, four weeks, five weeks went by, still nothing.

By now, others were talking about their plants, but Jim didn't have aplant and he felt like a failure. Six months went by -- still nothing in Jim's pot. He just knew he hadkilled his seed. Everyone else had trees and tall plants, but he had nothing.

Jim didn't say anything to his colleagues, however, he just keptwatering and fertilizing the soil - He so wanted the seed to grow. A year finally went by and all the young executives of the company brought their plants to the CEO for inspection.Jim told his wife that he wasn't going to take an empty pot. But she asked him to be honest about what happened.

Jim felt sick to his stomach, it was going to be the most embarrassing moment of his life, but he knew his wife was right. He took his empty pot to the board room. When Jim arrived, he was amazed at the variety of plants grown by the other executives. They were beautiful -- in all shapes and sizes.

Jim put his empty pot on the floor and many of his colleagues laughed, a few felt sorry for him!When the CEO arrived, he surveyed the room and greeted his young executives. Jim just tried to hide in the back.

"My, what great plants, trees and flowers you have grown," said the CEO. "Today one of you will be appointed the next CEO!"All of a sudden, the CEO spotted Jim at the back of the room with his empty pot. He ordered the Financial Director to bring him to the front.Jim was terrified. He thought, "The CEO knows I'm a failure! Maybe he will have me fired!"When Jim got to the front, the CEO asked him what had happened to his seed - Jim told him the story.

The CEO asked everyone to sit down except Jim. He looked at Jim, and then announced to the young executives, "Behold your next Chief Executive Officer!His name is Jim!" Jim couldn't believe it. Jim couldn't even grow his seed.

"How could he be the new CEO?" the others said.

Then the CEO said, "One year ago today, I gave everyone in this room a seed. I told you to take the seed, plant it, water it, and bring it back to me today. But I gave you all boiled seeds; they were dead - it was not possible for them to grow.All of you, except Jim, have brought me trees and plants and flowers. When you found that the seed would not grow, you substituted another seed for the one I gave you. Jim was the only one with the courage and honesty to bring me a pot with my seed in it. Therefore, he is the one who will be the new Chief Executive Officer!"*

The moral of the story....

If you plant honesty, you will reap trust * If you plant goodness, you will reap friends * If you plant humility, you will reap greatness * If you plant perseverance, you will reap contentment * If you plant consideration, you will reap perspective * If you plant hard work, you will reap success * If you plant forgiveness, you will reap reconciliation So, be careful what you plant now; it will determine what you will reap later.

Highest of Golden Dreams for Miss Potato Princess....;-)

Well, as the story goes...a Girl Potato and Boy Potato had eyes for each other, And finally they got married, and had a little sweet Potato, which they Called 'Yam.'

Of course, they. as the most loving of parents, wanted the very, very 'best' for Yam....after all she was so beautiful, so charming, so talented,....hummm, SO SWEET!!!

When it was time, they told her about the facts
Of life.They warned her about going Out And Getting 'Half-baked', so she wouldn't get accidentally 'mashed', and Get a bad Name for herself like 'Hot Potato,' and
End up with a bunch of Tater Tots .....

Yam said not to worry, 'no Spud' would get Her into the 'sack'.... and Make a 'rotten potato' out of her!
But on the other hand she Wouldn't stay home And become a "Couch Potato" either.
She would get Plenty of exercise so as not to be skinny like her Shoestring Cousins.

When she went off to Europe , Mr. And Mrs. Potato told Yam To watch out
For the "hard-boiled"... guys from Ireland ..And the "Greasy" guys from France called the "French Fries". And When she went out West,....To Watch out for the Indians so she wouldn't get scalloped.. After all, didn't she have 'good EYES'


Yam said she would 'stay on the straight and Narrow' And Wouldn't Associate With
Those high class "Yukon Golds", or the ones from the 'other Side of the tracks' who advertise their trade on all The trucks that say, 'Frito Lay.'

Mr. And Mrs. Potato sent Yam to Idaho P.U. (that's Potato University ) so that when she graduated she'd really Be In the Chips. But in spite of all they did for
Her, one-day Yam came home And announced she was Going to marry Tom Brokaw.

Tom Brokaw! Mr and Mrs. Potato were very upset. They Told 'Yam she couldn't Possibly
Marry Tom Brokaw Because he's just.......

*Are you Ready for this?
Are You sure?

OK! Here it is!

*he is just a......just a........justa A ....COMMONTATER!!!!!
,
(I hope you have a great day...laugh a lot...forget your troubles, share this with someone else ....make their day brighter!) hugs

Apology to followers....

I must make an apology to you....since I started Facebook ....my blog has bombed out. I really don't seem to find time to 'blog' and I used to love doing it. Many of my friends have now pledged that they are going to be 'blogging the 365 days of the year' and I think that is neat...but I can't seem to find time to blog for months at a time. I greatly admire 'blogger' because it is a means of speaking openly and at far more length/depth.... on any given subject than space allowed on Facebook. It's a great way to reach/teach/preach/meet/gripe/snipe whatever. ha ha ....and we LEARN from other people as well. Wow...some good...some great....some er ...err...not so good. ha ha

I love Facebook Friends...so very, very much...because you can CHOOSE the people that you communicate with each day....while Blogs...are open to any/all types of wierdoes to send comments and virus' if you try to trace their comments. So, for the present....I am 'into' Facebooking to the max....my known friends...not people that I do not know....and occasionally I may come back to blog from time to time. Either way, thank you for stopping by and my prayer is that today is a blessing to you and life bids you the greatest of JOY. This is my wish, my prayer and truly...my Glorious Expression! (smile) ;-D

Two Faced People R also Two Taled ...;-D

If someone is a Two Faced person...do they also have Two Tales (tails)...oh yes!!! You bet they do.

Maybe it's because I am getting older...or having more experiences in life... but I certainly have far less patience than I USED to have with people who constantly prove to be two-faced and untrue. I have always called this the 'the 5th grade Mindset" because it's so immature and stupid. But after living it as a child in school as all do AND after working daily for over 15 years/trained in both regular/Special Ed..... with school kids/church kids and then raising two of my own, plus two others...I feel that through the years/kids...I learned a long time ago that it is common...tho...unnecessary element of life and extremely hurtful to innocent individuals. People with Two faces...also have two tales/tails...the latter is the largest!!!

Yet here I am, recently turned 70 years old and this crazy junk still pops up in my life...and I step back in total disgust and amazement...'where does this mess come from?". What's it all about? What does the Giver Get out of being two-faced/hypocritical. What is gained?

And no, it is not coming from friends my age or older...mercy...they~~for the most part~~ are like me...had ENOUGH of this world's weird junk that they grab for every inch and fraction of joy/laughter/rainbow that they can sqeeze out of each day...as their own bodies give them enough pain/misery of aging....that they certainly don't care to stir up more troubles/pain/disgust..on top of what they already have to endure just 'staying alive'.

We all agree tho...it seems that 'lying' has become the most practiced lifestyle/acceptable/often expected of the world today.

It seems that some PREFER to LIVE in lies and deceit...than just live a simple and happy life. Almost everyone is sick of the renown Politicians lying about everything/we sort of 'expect it/ hahaha...but most commercials consist of lies, TV, Ads, media....and people in general. What makes fakes feel such low self-esteemed that they lie about unnecessary things/junk & that truth doesn't even matter? (You can see/understand that the person in the courtroom always says "I didn't do it"...but two-faced so called friends...'what's with that??) I am simply referring to some people hurt by two faced/taled 1/2 wits/gossip.

And I am not talking about people 'kidding', cutting up, telling silly funnies to entertain and make somebody laugh...that's not the issue at all. Almost everybody loves to laugh...if they don't...then they should!!! ;-D It's good for their health/life and spirit. But I am addressing those that JUST LIE...no reason needed.... are two-faced and carry two tales/tails..(or more) .and eventually make real tails out of themselves and others by their actions//words/deeds. Wrong/hurtful/devilish junk. humm, guess I have just written my own REAL answer....in the word...devil.... hummm. ;-\

I'm just saying...wrong is wrong....just because 'somebody said it'...does not make it true. Gossip is gossip...it's disgusting! If it's not helpful...it's usually hurtful!..God sees and judges all.

Hilarious Scientific Research...Texas Style ;-D

Scientists at NASA built a GUN specifically to launch standard FOUR POUND DEAD CHICKENS at the windshields of airliners, military jets and the space shuttle, all traveling at maximum velocity. The idea is to simulate the frequent incidents of collisions with airborne fowl to TEST the strength of the windshields.

BRITISH ENGINEERS heard about the gun and were eager to test it on the windshields of their new high speed trains. Arrangements were made, and a gun was sent to the British engineers.
When the gun was fired, the engineers stood shocked as the chicken hurled out of the barrel,
crashed into the shatterproof shield, smashed it to smithereens, blasted through the control console,
snapped the engineer's back-rest in two, and embedded itself in the back wall of the cabin, like an arrow shot from a bow.

The horrified Brits sent NASA the disastrous results of the experiment,
along with the designs of the windshield and begged the US scientists for suggestions.

NASA responded with a one-line memo –
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~"Defrost the chicken."



PILOT to GROUND CONTROL... 'WATCH for flying CHICKENS...' ;-D

Backward Moments... ;-D

"WOW, I LOVED LIFE IN THE COUNTRY!"


The above cartoon is ACTUALLY my husband...ha ha. Every evening we like to sit outside...in the cool of the day and enjoy watching traffic from our front yard. But since this year we have had a wonderful amount of rainfall and also have numerous lakes/earth tanks nearby....we are infested by those dratted ZINGING ugly little pests...called mosquitoes! Not bad if there is a wind blowing...but unmerciful when it's a gentle breeze. Needless to say, we often 'give in' rather than 'fight their feasting'.

The last few days have been what I call...backwards days...things just keep 'messing up'...unnecessary junk keeps coming 'down the pike'----when I saw the following poetic UN TRUTH...I knew I needed to post it ....for myself and others to 'just get a chuckle'. Hope you enjoy the creative writing of someone....not me...but could've been. ha ha

BACKWARD MOMENTS....

Ladies and gentlemen, hoboes and tramps,
Cross-eyed mosquitoes and bow-legged ants,
I come before you to stand behind you,
To tell you something I know nothing about.
Next Thursday, which is Good Friday,
There will be a Mother's Day meeting for fathers only;
Admission is free, so pay at the door,
Pull up a seat and sit on the floor.
The topic to discuss...
The crime that has never been committed.

HUMMMMM, do you ever feel like 'life is sooo confusing?" hahaha Blessings 2 U
