Hey Webmasters! New Photo Album Service Launched - Check it out!
I WAITED patiently and expectantly for the Lord and He inclined to me and heard my cry. He drew me up out of a horrible pit ( a pit of tumult and of destruction ), out of the miry clay ( froth and slime), and set my feet upon a rock, steadying my steps and establishing my goings. And He has put a new song in my mouth, a song of praise to our God.
~ Psalm 40:13 
~Proverbs 16:24

Renee - I have so missed YOU 
For some reason I was never able to 
on your new blog 
Please know that You & your Loved ones are ALWAYS in my Prayers, Well Wishes & Warmest of Thoughts 
See ya! 
Renee I was trying to stop by with a Monday Goose for you but I can not figure out how to post a comment 
Congrats on the new job! That is great news indeed!
I mention how much I enjoy to walk 
& I wrote about numerous houses 
becoming abandoned round these parts . . . there's this one house the family moved out for when they signed on they got a "great deal", at least for a limited time 
but then the note raised to where they just were not able to keep up with it ( this I heard from a few of neighbors, I used to wave 
to them as passing by but I never spoke with them ) . . . seeing I pass the house each day I get to see it quite a few times, houses draw me in 
. . . I walked the lot a couple times, pressed my face to a few of the windows to see in & always go away sighing 
for I know it is just not in our cards 
. . . but curiosity 
got the best of me . . . on the house was a white paper note 
proclaiming the house was winterized & if there was any emergency to call such-n-such number . . . I had begun to notice certain areas of the house being disturbed so I got in contact 
with the number to give them a heads up to this . . . later I contacted them again in reference to what was taking place, I got to hear the word ratification . . . some time passed, damage still taking place, no realtor sign up yet so I attempted to contact the company one more time . . . this time I was told it was not on the market yet, they would TRY to keep me in mind BUT with SO MANY interested it was difficult, they SUGGESTED I keep an eye on the house & call them when I see a sign go up . . . 
???? . . . on that note it took quite a bit for me to not tell them my suggestion! Talk about blown off before you even get a toe in the door! I would think that in the Realtor Business you would be a bit more . . . hhmmm . . . nicer . . . Sales are important in that line of work, so to me each person interested is a great potential & should be treated in such a manner . . . Realtors up our way are not the best & makes it clear to me why sales are not that great 
. . . I wrote them back informing them that their response was not one I favored & when I was interested in a house I would not be contacting them again . . . their response? Thank You, keep us in mind . . . . ???????? . . . . has been empty forever & a day, this one had a sign on the yard . . . so I thought well, lets give it a try, can't hurt to ask . . . it is a 4 bedroom 2 bath that is RENTING for $1850! um . . . no thank you 
. . . the individual bought the house back in 2000 for $133,400 that I have passed all these years . . . a very small rambler . . . when we first moved to this area I assumed the house was abandoned due to the outside condition, but quickly found out that no it was instead the individual was a very private sort who was an extreme & I mean EXTREME pack rat . . . there is a car port that was packed to the gill with boxes, crates, bags, chairs, you name it is there with this very very narrow pathway to the door . . . I always thought how the hey hiddy hey did this person get in & out 
. . . & my word if there was ever a fire 
!!!!! The front porch has collapsed, neighbors tell me that the back one collapsed years ago . . . it is in pretty sad condition . . . there is a dumpster out front now, I saw the neighbor before Thanksgiving, gave them greetings & wishes for a fine Holiday & inquired about the dumpster . . .she said she was moving, her house was recently broke into 
. . . yesterday I stopped & asked if she needed any help ( she is an elderly widow ) she declined, we talked briefly & she gave me this box of Avon items! Glory Be To God & Praise Sweet Jesus 
! How sweet was that! I went through them & found they were mostly from 1989! Yes she did like to keep things indeed!!! 
as passing by another house I was talking to one of the kids 
I walk home when I heard a rustling in the leaves 
coming from behind me, thinking mad squirrel ( we have a shortage of acorns around here & the squirrels are getting a tad aggressive ) I pushed the kid to the side as turning to look over my shoulder at what was coming at us 
. . . what did I see? the cutes, fuzziest, plumpest little puppies 
pouncing through the leaves to get to us!!!! We were near the street & I worried they would get squished so we stopped & got a lot of puppy love given to us . . . my girls 
& another kid were walking ahead of us so they did not spot them right away, but from the girly squeals 
I knew the minute they spotted me with the puppies!!! Watching my girls & the other kids rolling about with these puppies was a major "awwwww" moment . . . one of the kids upon my request knocked on the door to tell the owner these pups were out, I was hesitant about this for this house is one of the major drug ones in our area but as well, I really did not want to see these puppies injured! Turns out they had five but these were the last two . . . as well apparently the resident of the house found me to be hot 
& inquired if I was married . . . his interest in me confirms he is indeed on drugs!!!!! 
my son came back to the house earlier then normal . . . with a friend of his . . . I have known this boy for quite a few years, excellent individual, caring & hardworking . . . he works at a Hospital, is a major computer whiz & an outrageously talented tattoo artist . . he just recently got kicked out of his house & is now having to live in his car 
. . . I feel so badly for him 
. . . he has a horrid cold, his auto hydroplaned the other day & got damaged & now he has no where to live . . . this is the second friend of my sons that I have heard is living in his car . . . 
A Few Quotes:
There is only one degree of difference between hot water and steam.

A penny will hide the biggest star in the universe if you hold it close enough to your eye.

A Few Stories:
The grass wither, the flowers fade, but the Word of our God shall stand forever. 
about Job: for me! In my Family Devotions Bible 1993 
it has Job 19 titled as Job: Impatient but Trusting God . . . that sums be up very well indeed! Reading 
about Job was comforting to me, it was comforting to know that someone who is written about in the Bible at times was impatient & asked questions just as I do . . . you may know how you act or think others have too, but it is assuring when you read it 
. . . you don't feel so "wrong". . . Anyway I know I need to work on my patience & I know God is answering my Prayers & I know my Season will be . . . but I also know I need to work on many areas inside myself, patience being one of the greater ones & Job helped confirm that as reassuring me . . .
