If you want to learn to be a stunt car driver, move to Atlanta! Interstate 85 (better known as the constipated colon road to Atlanta) is a real challange especially since the state government messed with the Hov lanes."(It's best to prepare for the unexpected, definitely unbelieveable occurances while traveling anywhere on I-85.) "The Mystery Drive," downtown promises to elevate your blood pressure and challange your righteousness and imagination every single time!
Imagine tooling 65 to 75 mph in 8 lanes of traffic, singing your favorite tunes and bebobing a little to relax. Now throw in a tail gator, who resembles a hemaroid. Don't forget to add the big trucks weaving in and out of lanes, just missing your car. You're in a middle lane, boxed in on all sides. The semi, just 2 car links ahead of you in the right lane, has a major blow out. Two of his tires blow almost simultaneously together. The cute little sports car, right in front of you, takes a huge hit from flying tire parts. Suddenly, there's no way to dodge flying fiberglass, impact is inevitable. It bounces on the pavement, just before it kisses my front end. Then, of course I roll over what was once part of a trunk. "Well $#!*" flys out of my mouth.
Of course, I've just had a treatment and all this makes me sick, but there's no place to throw up, so I swallow it. Lovely huh? That was my day. How was your day? : D I sure hope your day was better than mine. Actually, it wasn't as bad as it could have been. Imagine how the sports car driver feels. He literally lost his hinnie! (That sports car wasn't so cute after the right rear panel and part of the trunk flew off.) He didn't stop either, we all just kept tooling up 85, thankful not to have been hurt. How many angels do you think God has watching main interstates? My guess is thousands on overtime!
What's my point? Although I try hard not to cuss-I do when I'm scared, mad or frustrated. That's one of my many sins. We all come short of the glory of God. Isn't it easier to admit our sins and ask others to pray for our weaknesses? Shouldn't we forgive and help each other? Please pray for me I travel I-85 and often loose control of my mouth.
"Likewise the tongue is a small part of the body, but it makes great boasts. Consider what a great forest is set on fire by a small spark. The tongue is also a fire, a world of evil among the parts of the body It corrupts the whole person, sets the whole course of his life on fire, and is itself set on fire by hell." James 3:5&6 (NIV)

My Help Comes from The Lord!
" I will lift up my eyes to the mountains; From where shall my help come?My help comes from the Lord, Who made heaven and earth. He will not allow your foot to slip; He who keeps you will not slumber. Behold, He who keeps Israel Will neither slumber, nor sleep. The Lord is your keeper; The Lord is your shade on your right hand. The sun will not smite you by day, Nor the moon by night. The Lord will protect you from all evil; He will keep your soul. The Lord will guard your going out and your coming in From this time forth and forever." Psalm 121 (NASB)
While I was watching the afternoon news I saw a ten year old boy whose heart was working at a ten percent capacity. He would like a new heart for Christmas. If I could, I would give him mine. I hate the thought of a ten year old child suffering and I hate what his Momma must be going through.
Latter, I seen an older lady talking about health insurance. She said she hoped she'd never have to use her health care, but was glad it was there if she ever needed it. :) Reality is almost all of us, young or old, at some point in our life will have to go through the dying process. Very few will be ushered into a physical death without pain, or suffering. If we realize this, maybe we can accept our fate a little easier, when sickness comes calling in our life.
Knowing God holds my fate is so comforting for me. I will joyfully be here every minute He wants me to be here. Likewise, I'll depart to be with Him forever as soon as God calls my name. He will not have to ask me twice. :)
Happiness is a choice, but only God can give the peace that surpasses all understanding. I can't explain it. It's one of those things I wish I could take out of my heart- just for a few minutes and put in your heart so you could feel it, but I can't. Putting your trust and faith in God relieves the weight of the world, warms your heart and soul, and puts a song in your heart.
"Then Jesus again spoke to them saying, "I am the light of the world; he who follows Me will not walk in darkness, but will have the Light of life." John 8:12 (NASB)
If you'll read the rest of John chapter 8, I think you'll be blessed. If you haven't already ask God's Holy Spirit to come into your life, I pray you will very soon. If you'll faithfully seek God I know you'll find Him. God Bless and keep you.
