I have never, EVER been so glad to see a year go! And what a year it has been. Even now that I look back; even though I have lived it, I still can not remember nor speak of all of the different ways that the Lord saw us through! Bills have always been paid, gas was always in the van, food was always in the house, and the home came out of foreclosure without paying a cent! Yes—that- my Dear, are miracles.
Since 2004, the years have been progressively more and more trying, frustrating and- to put it in the terms of a “glass half full”—presented “opportunities” (hurdles) to overcome. And overcome- thus far- we have.
And I am done! I want NO more!
Situations this year have shaken me to my core, brought me to my knees and kicked me while I was down. Never was I ever more aware of my strengths, my short comings, my tenacity and my deep level of responsibility and being someone that others can depend upon. Many times on the brink of exhaustion, fatigue, and walking the fine line between insanity and sound-mindedness- I would like to “opt-out” of any future tests and trials to THAT extent.
So 2011 as you leave, you can take the pain, the sickness, the panic, the stress, the depressive worry, the heart-wrenching situations, the tasks that make me sweat, the financial struggle, all the blockages to that which stands in the way of me and those close to me; finally, realizing our destinies and prosperity with you.
2012- you have my permission to totally turn my world around to the good. No more death- only life, no more near death-only total health, no more hard physical labor- only the bringing of those who do these things for a living and enjoy doing them. Let this be the year that all the business ideas and aspirations come to fruition. The right people at the right time. Bring me all my Boaz’s, Butler’s and Baker’s.
As bad and stressful as 2011 was- I am expecting 2012 can be the exact opposite!

Just a quick praise report.
My 15 year old GSD had to have a very large mammory mass removed. It came off easily, had not grown into her body, only two blood vessels were affected and she took the anesthesia with no problems whatsoever!!! And the mass is non-cancerous!!
All praise and honor be to our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. Thank you Lord for being with her, giving her peace and guiding the vets' hands!

"He" called me a heretic

–noun
1. a professed believer who maintains religious opinions contrary to those accepted by his or her church or rejects doctrines prescribed by that church.
2. Roman Catholic Church . a baptized Roman Catholic who willfully and persistently rejects any article of faith.
3. anyone who does not conform to an established attitude, doctrine, or principle.
One- I am not Catholic.
Two- maintains religious opinions contrary to those accepted by his or her church or rejects doctrines prescribed by that church. I don't belong to a 'church'--so how can I go against something that I am not part of nor 'belong' or 'associate' with?
This site is NOT a church. This is a DATING site.
Three-anyone who does not conform to an established attitude, doctrine, or principle. Isn't that really a 'relative' thing? Everyone has their OWN established doctrine-don't they really? Disagreement of what someone else believes or wants you to believe how THEY believe--does not constitute heresy. It just means that you are able to think for yourself and they might have a control problem--which stems from witchcraft--which God abhors!
I will continue to seek God and His Kingdom, leaning on Him for understanding and studying His Word with the leading of the Holy Spirit- to show myself approved of God. If a 'man' has a problem with that-- then that 'man' has a problem-period. It's not MY problem and will not let 'his' problem become mine............
THE BLINDEST PERSON IS THE ONE WHO CANNOT SEE HIMSELF.
(If that is someone else' quote- then good- if not- I just made it up )
I have found in the past that when someone points the finger at you--there are at least three fingers pointing back to the real offender......

Do you have any favorite words? One of my Mom's is 'crux'-- the crux of the matter.....
I'm kind of fond of 'exacerbate' and not to be forgotten by old time favorite---antidisestablishmentarianism-- and yes- it is a word- look it up. It's the longest word in the dictionary that is not made up. Unless you are talking about 'smiles' where there is a mile between two 's' s. Supercalifragilisticexpealidocious is the longest made-up word.
Here is one question to all the scholars out there--someone asked me this years ago and I still have yet to figure out the third answer.
What three words have a 'uu' in them?
First answer right away- vacuum.
The second took a while- continuum.
Now- what's the third?

Today- someone's father died, mother, sister or brother.
Today- someone lost someone dear to them.
Today- someone gave birth to a little boy or girl-
.....maybe twins or even triplets.
Today- someone was given a diagnoses of cancer.
Today- someone was given a clean bill of health.
Today- no matter what- lives have been irreversibly changed.
How aware were we of anothers' "today"?
How aware were we that an eternal soul now faces eternity-
or-
that eternity now faces a new eternal soul?
What did we do with our "today"?
Has it changed- for the better- someone's tomorrow?
(C)2011- Suzanne T
Yesterday- 30 years ago- someone I loved was laid to rest.
Yesterday- someone I loved found rest.
Mr. Fred Brown- I will miss you terribly!

It's a Wonderful Life

I FINALLY got to see this movie. I had never even caught 'snippets' of it. I turned the channel just in time to see the beginning rolling credits. So I stayed up to watch it.
Pretty intersting!
I had a couple of laughs and I saw a lot of things and phrases that my mom used to say growing up- that would bring back memories-- but the sentence that really floored me was when the angel was showing "George" his life as if he was never born.
They were at his brothers' grave and Clarence said--"No- your brother never received the Medal of Honor--all those men died because your brother died when he was 8- when he fell in the water- you weren't here to save him."
WOW!!! What a ripple affect! To think that one persons' existence could influence whether some people lived or died--20 years in the future!
How far does your 'ripple' go out? How many people are still alive because you were born? How many people are now or will be in the Kingdom of Heaven- because you were born (and/or you didn't go through with that suicide attempt? )
Then my mind goes to my brother who did take his life. We were overwhelmed at the literaly- hundreds of people who showed up wanting to thank Dave for having such a great and wonderful impact on their life. 
Father, I ask right now-- that anyone who was supposed to have been touched through Dave-- have someone touch their lives the way he would have been supposed to have. Don't let their lives suffer because of his actions! In Jesus' name, Amen.
Sorry, trying to choke back the tears right now.
Every morning when I take communion, I say Psalms 23 first- the Lord's prayer and then Communion. When saying the Lord's Prayer- I add by asking God to save the souls that are closest to hell.
I bind the enemy from working or distracting them from doing it- I loose the blinds and the scales from off of their eyes and minds- I loose them to a sound mind- then pull the stoppers from their ears- so that they hear, they understand, they believe and they receive Jesus as their Lord and Savior. That Jesus would reveal Himself to them ( and on and on).
Has anyone made it into Heaven, because I did pray? I don't know- might not until I get to Heaven. I just found out that a customer I really got along well with when I was working for the dumpster company- just passed away at 51. Was he one of them?
Who elses son or daughter or mother or father came to Jesus because of the prayers? What kind of impact will that have on the rest of the family that is left behind?
What if I never prayed those prayers? Would those souls be accountable to me on Judgement Day? I would rather pray and be right than to not pray and be wrong. Even if I am wrong by praying ( WHich I know I am not- it is biblical )--I would rather err on the side of caution.
How many people has your life affected-- just because you were born? Who came to Jesus just because on a busy day and they were having a bad one-- YOU smiled at them? You radiated God's love towards them? Just that one or two words of encouragement that you gave someone--to help them along--what impact did they have-- just because you were born?
How far out does your ripple go?
It's a VERY sobering thought.
