Whirlwind
==========

.

I have no idea why I am sitting here about to tell the world
about my situation, but maybe it will help someone.

.

A little over a year ago I found myself back home, working two
jobs, single, feeling alone and pregnant.

.

Now the reason for me being back home was so that I could save
some money so that I might be able to buy my first home. I was
working two jobs so that I could pay my current bills off.

.

I also wanted to start a new career. I was a nail tech and an
intake person. I was 28 years old, a single woman longing to be
married but finding myself alone and pregnant which I thought
would never happen.

.

My mother and step-father gave me the option to move in for one
year so that I could save a little faster. Well my year had
come to a close and it was time to go, if you know what I mean.

.

One day I felt like I was sitting in a chair in the middle of
the room and looking above only to see the whirlwind of my
problems going around me. I was like “wow if I get pulled up
into this mess I’d just keel over.” Well you know what happened
next. Our words do have power because all of a sudden it seems
as though I became trapped in this whirlwind.

.

I then began to give up until I remembered that God said that we
should cast all of our worries unto Him, so I began to pray a
prayer with all my heart. With faith I believed that He would
fix all of this, but I didn’t quite know how.

.

The next day while working at the nail shop around 5 p.m.,
I began to tell a client of mine about my situation. After
crying all over myself at the end of her appointment, she gave
me a big hug and said that I was strong and everything would
work itself out. Now that was the last thing that I wanted to
hear. I was in trouble and needed major help.

.

So by the end of my shift around 10 p.m. that client of mine who

Are you ready for Michelle Obama, kitchen goddess? The first lady’s pulling a Gwyneth Paltrow and publishing a cookbook. Americn Grown, on sale April 10, 2012, combines veggie growing tips with recipes inspired by Michelle’s White House garden.

It’s a garden she’s toiled over since 2009. So have daughters Sasha and Malia, who help with the weeding “like it or not”. Despite being a gardening novice, Obama’s laid the groundwork for over 55 varietals of veggies. Stalks of black kale, bright yellow peppers, and beams of eggplant have grown from the most expansive garden the White House lawn has ever seen.

Now it’s growing beyond the Obama home, and into the cookbook arena. According to her publishers, she’ll use the garden’s offerings as the starting point for seed-sowing, recipe ideas and personal anecdotes and photos of the Obamas’ home-base. The aim of the book is to show how “increased access to healthy, affordable food can promote better eating habits and improve health of families and communities across America,” according to the publishers at Random House, who

GOOD SAMARITAN..

A Sunday school teacher was telling her class the story of the

Good Samaritan.

She asked the class, “If you saw a person lying on the roadside, all

wounded and

bleeding, what would you do?”

A thoughtful little girl broke the hushed silence, “I think I’d throw

up.”

DID NOAH FISH?

A Sunday school teacher asked, “Johnny, do you think Noah did a

lot of fishing when

he was on the Ark ?” “No,” replied Johnny.

“How could he, with just two worms.”

THE LORD IS MY SHEPHERD

A Sunday School teacher decided to have her young class memorize one of the most

quoted passages in the Bible - Psalm 23 .

She gave the youngsters a month to learn the chapter.

Little Rick was excited about the task - but he just couldn’t remember the Psalm.

After much practice, he could barely get past the first line.

On the day that the kids were scheduled to recite Psalm 23 in front of the congregation,

Ricky was so nervous.

When it was his turn, he stepped up to the microphone and said proudly,

“The Lord is my Shepherd, and that’s all I need to know.”

UNANSWERED PRAYER

The preacher’s 5 year-old daughter noticed that her father always

paused and bowed his head for a moment before starting his sermon.

One day, she asked him why. “Well, Honey,” he began, proud that his daughter was so observant of his messages. “I’m asking the Lord to help me preach a

good sermon.”

“How come He doesn’t answer it?” she asked.

BEING THANKFUL

A Rabbi said to a precocious six-year-old boy, “So your mother

says your prayers for you each night?

That’s very commendable.

What does she say?”

The little boy replied, “Thank God he’s in bed!”

ALL MEN / ALL GIRLS

When my daughter, Kelli, said her bedtime prayers, she would bless every family member, every friend, and every animal (current and past).

For several weeks, after we had finished the nightly prayer, Kelli

would say, “and all girls.”

This soon became part of her nightly routine, to include this closing.

My curiosity got the best of me and I asked her, “Kelli, why do you always add the part about all girls?”

Her response, “Because everybody always finish their prayers by saying ‘All Men’!”

SAY A PRAYER

Little Johnny and his family were having Sunday dinner at his

Grandmother’s house.

Everyone was seated around the table as the food was being served.

When Little Johnny received his plate, he started eating right away.

“Johnny!

Don’t Mess with Mom
====================

.
My son came home from school one day,
with a smirk upon his face.
He’d decided he was smart enough,
to put me in my place.

~*~

“Guess what I learned in Civics Two,
that’s taught by Mr. Wright?
It’s all about the laws today,
The “Children’s Bill of Rights.”

~*~

It says I need not clean my room,
don’t have to cut my hair.
No one can tell me what to think,
or speak, or what to wear.

~*~

I have freedom from religion,
and regardless what you say,
I don’t have to bow my head,
and I sure don’t have to pray.

~*~

I can wear earrings if I want,
and pierce my tongue & nose.
I can read & watch just what I like,
and get tattoos from head to toes.

~*~

And if you ever spank me,
I’ll charge you with the crime.
I’ll back up all my charges,
with the marks on my behind.

~*~

Don’t you ever touch me,
my body’s only for my use,
not for your hugs and kisses,
that’s just more child abuse.

~*~

Don’t preach about your morals,
like your mama did to you.
That’s nothing more than mind control,
