First and Foremost there is a movie that has recently been released and may be in a theater near you called OVER COMER Go see it!! It is amazing, very inspirational and encouraging. It shows how we should continue persevering despite our circumstances no matter what we face. Whatever might be one's circumstance, I promise you that everyone has something that needs to be "overcome" Whether its health, finance, family issues IT is all important and ALL valuable!! While the issues that need to be overcome might be discussed or not, THEY are all important and God cares about each one. Please hear me when I say, I am not Preaching to you all in any fashion! If you all know me off screen at all, I am sure you know some or at least one of my struggles that needs to be overcome. It is hard to do it sometimes more than other times and truly I say to you brothers and sisters, it is my opinion that you and I cannot do it on our own!! We are weak helpless human beings that de...
When I lived in the village we had small cute little mice (NOT CUTE) (another story) and then we had..... RATS not R.O.U.S (Rodents of unusual size) but they were certainly RATS!! Anyhow one of the good old times was watching young boys go after RATS and killing them.. These RATS would have these nice deep holes and so they had to be forced out of the hole! The boys were clever and so they would have a big bucket of water and pour that into the hole. There were always a group of the boys that had sticks whatever they could gather and when the RAT came rushing out they would proceed to beat It and chase it if need be.. When the RAT was deceased they would burn the hair off and clean it and in the very end eat it Happy RAT hunting!! :) Laura

The first time at a job?, How about the birth of your first child? Or your first time buying a home? While these are joyous occasions and should be celebrated, there some "firsts" that are not so positive. The first time you get fired, loss of a friend or family member, or what about the first holiday without a loved one? Ouch this one is tough. My family's first reunion without my Granny has caused me some anxiety and leaving some raw emotions under the surface. When a loss occurs you naturally are left with a hole that over time reduces.. It is natural and healthy to miss the deceased but don't let your world screech to a stop and be done. Keep living, following your Lord and loving those around you. If you have the assurance that your loved one is in heaven, that alone can encourage ...
