This blog is more than an account of Near Death Experiences. It ponders in detail the tough questions of life. Who are you, and why are you here in this physical world? What happens when you die, and is there a judgment? However, most anything could appear here. This is not a news blog, archived posts are just as relevant as new posts.

They are my friends,
cows, piglets and also hens
bunnies, puppies and kittens too
and horses just to name a few!
I shower all my friends with love
I give them kisses and lots of hugs!
They show me affection in different ways,
They bring me sunshine on gloomy days!
I cause no harm to those I love
from fish below to birds above!
I show them kindness and compassion
they are my friends, not food and fashion
Some of my friends have colorful feathers
some have fur for frigid weather,
some wear scales and slither around
some of my friends live underground
some have spots and some have stripes
some of my friends come out at night,
all the animals are the same
they just go by different names
they all want to live life happy and free
no different from you, no different from me!
They all are deserving of respect
that’s why I treat my friends the best!
So please show them love the way that I do,
because my friends are your friends too!
For today develop an “Attitude of Gratitude”. Think of all the things you are grateful for: food, shelter, job, family, friends, health, etc. There is much to be thankful for in life and it should brought to the front of the line today. It is best to always be grateful, but today in particular. It will make you feel great.
When I was a kid, my mom every now and then liked to make breakfast food for dinner. I remember one night in particular when she had made breakfast after a long, hard day at work. On that evening so long ago, my mom placed a plate of eggs, sausage and extremely burned biscuits in front of my dad. I remember waiting to see if anyone noticed! Yet all my dad did was reach for his biscuit, smile at my mom and ask me how my day was at school. I don’t remember what I told him that night, but I do remember watching him smear butter and jelly on that biscuit and eat every bite!
When I got up from the table that evening, I remember hearing my mom apologize to my dad for burning the biscuits. And I’ll never forget what he said: “Honey, I love burned biscuits.”
Later that night, I went to kiss Daddy good night and I asked him if he really liked his biscuits burned. He wrapped me in his arms and said, “Your Momma put in a hard day at work today and she’s real tired. And besides — a little burnt biscuit never hurt anyone!”
You know, life is full of imperfect things…..and imperfect people. I’m not the best at hardly anything, and I forget birthdays and anniversaries just like everyone else.
What I’ve learned over the years is that learning to accept each others faults — and choosing to celebrate each others differences – is one of the most important keys to creating a healthy, growing, and lasting relationship.
And that’s my prayer for you today. That you will learn to take the good, the bad, and the ugly parts of your life and lay them at the feet of God. Because in the end, He’s the only One who will be able to give you a relationship where a burnt biscuit isn’t a deal-breaker!
We could extend this to any relationship. In fact, understanding is the base of any relationship, be it a husband-wife or parent-child or friendship!
“Don’t put the key to your happiness in someone else’s pocket — keep it in your own.”
God Bless You
So Please pass me a biscuit, and yes, the burnt one will do just fine.!.!.!.!
A Birth Certificate shows that we were born.
A Death Certificate shows that we died.
Pictures show that we lived!
Have a seat. Relax . . .
And read this slowly.
I Believe…
That just because two people argue,
It doesn’t mean they don’t love each other.
And just because they don’t argue,
It doesn’t mean they do love each other.

We understand that friends change.

Hours by people who don’t even know you.

are taken from you too soon.

all of the people that you believe in, I just did.
The happiest of people don’t necessarily
have the best of everything;
They just make the most of everything they have.
