Hi

Hello everyone Happy Mother"s Day ....

Remember your mom today out of all days . It is so important to say thanks and acknowledge your mom for all she does for you. I went to a new church today . I can honestly say I enjoyed it so much. It was like a wonderful spirit was inside that church through all the children. Some of them had written poems to there mother and others sang a song for them but it was wonderful. I was really impress and bless to be a guest at another church. A good sister in christ of mine had asked me to come so a little skeptical like I always am decided to go. I was pleased so I will go next week as well. Yesterday we celebrated my grandbaby"s first birthday. I was so happy to be able to be there with all the children and help my daughter for it was her first birthday party. Now she knows why a lot of people have only one child. Kids are a lot of work. I am enclosing some of the pics that my wonderful son took of this event. So no promises on the great photography.... Another thing guess what, I lost 7 1/2 pounds , I now weigh 130.8. The strict diet I put myself on and the discipline it takes is finally paying off. I just have to keep doing this though all the time so that nasty tea I told you'll about that my sister recommeded is finally paying off. So a big thanks to her.

As usual I like to enclose a small joke for laughs... This comes from The "OUR TOWN" paper around our town in Mt. Pocono..

The title is
" Talk about getting old"

Poor Mildred was a 93 year old woman who was particularly despondent over the recent death of her husband Earl. She decided she would just kill herself and join him in death. Thinking that it would be best to get it over with quickly, she took out Earl's old army pistol and made the decision to shoot herself in the heart since it was so badly broken in the first place.
Not wanting to miss the vital organ and become a vegetable and burden to someone ,she called her doctor's office to inquire as to just exactly where the heart would be . "On a woman," the doctor said, "your heart would be just below your left breast."
Later that night , Mildred was admitted to the hospital with a gunshot wound to her left knee....


Getting old and sagging...lol

May the blessing of the lord be with you today and everyday and may his spirit shine down on you.....Till the next time God Bless you

Funny Tales...

Good Day everyone. Hope all is well and healthy. I've been trying to stick to this diet that I have decided that I needed and let me tell you it's been the worst. First of my wonderful sister(not) has recommended me this tea that has a fat blend loss and it tastes like crap literally. She was so determine to help me that she went out and bought it herself. How thoughtful? She wants whats best for me. So I love her for this.
I have been feeling under the weather so I have decided to take off a couple of days from work just to relax. Not working at all. I find myself looking for something to do and driving my poor husband crazy in the process. Don't know whats wrong with me. I stop drinking coffee and don't know how I feel about it yet. Never really was much of a caffeine freak but, I like the tastes early morning. I have been reading a lot of different books pertaining to biblical people. I"m reading now about King David. I always had wonder what made him so special. So I made it my business to read about him and now I can see why our creator chose him and was with him all the way even when he was wrong and sinned in so many ways. You can read about him if you like in the king james version bible in Samuel and second samuel.
I also like to read different things and i'm going to share something that I read. This was in the "our town " issue#69 of a bi-weekly publication that's distributed through different areas in our state. This joke that I"m about to tell you was submitted by an our town faithful reader and the name of the joke is



"State Fair"
A man takes his wife to the state fair and one of the exhibits is of breeding bulls. They come up to the first pen and there is a sign that says:" This bull mated 50 times last year"
The wife pokes her husband in the ribs and says: He mated 50 times last year.
They walk a little further and see another pen with a sign that says " This bull mated 120 times last year"
The wife hits her husband and says" That's more than twice a week! You could learn a lot from him."
They walk further and the third pen has a Bull with a sign that says" This Bull mated 365 times last year."
The wife gets really excited and says, "That's once a day. You could really learn something from this one."
The husband looks at her and says...." Go up and ask him if it was with the same cow."

Just a little humor to brighten your days . Have a bless day...

1st Bday

Today was my granddaughter's 1st birthday. I can not believe that a year has already gone by. It seems like she was just born , then again it seems like my daughter was just a small child herself.. I miss those days full of joy and laughter and sorrows all at the same time but, so worth it. I could have not lived my life any better. My husband and myself have had some rough times but , having get together's to celebrate life it just seems all worth it. We probably would not want to change anything even the bad.I was watching some all videos of when they were small. I mean my children as all of you know I had 4 myself. Now they are 21,20,19,16. They all seem to have their own family but when they come home and we all get together it just feels like it's home again. Cherish your little ones for as long as you can it goes by so fast, soon you would be like me just watching videos of those precious moments....

What a day ???? The lord has been with me very seriously. He has embraced my every move and has forgiven all my wrongs.

Went to the drs. Yesterday. Nothing wrong thank god but I might have thyroid issues. Other than that I'm bless . Working today is hard. First off it's Friday. A lot of traffic, second of all it's just a dreadful day..... Saw an accident this morning very tragic. Car crush in the back of a tractor trailer pray for that persons family. The rest of my day very eventful and full of hard work but so is everybody's life. So be happy, be bless and be thankful to god for your many blessings that have you stable in your world today.

Good morning all,

Today I went to the Dr. I have gain 4 pounds and do not eat. How is that possible. We will find out. Will post later keep your fingers cross for me and no I'm not pregnant. I'm already a grandmother. Too old for kids.

Good morning all,

Expect a great gift from God today. Pray and eait for it. Don't think that everything you do is from you because already your falling short of your blessings. Be positive and give God all the praises for all your joys and your sorrows ........Much love your sister in Christ...

What a wonderful day today has been so far. Lot of work but at least I have a job.....

Went to church today.. What a gorgeous day. It ws about 70 degrees here in Pa. Sunny skies and big clouds. WoWWWWWWW.... I have been taking a prophetic teaching class. It's very weird to me and yet a new experience. I am learning how to channel in with my spiritual side. There are 9 spirituals gifts. Wisdom, knowledge,healing, faith, working miracles,prophesy,discerning of the spirits,speaking in tongues and interprtation of tongues. Now every believer of Christ have been given spirituals gifts. And the gifts belong to God and are given for the believer to use for the Glory of God. When we receive a gift from God, we have to use it with love and patience. Although you might not use the gift given to you right, He will not take it back. You will however pay the price later. I was told to read Philipians 1:6... I suggest you do the same... Till next time Love our sister in Christ Mrs. S. Barleston

Hello to all,

Today was a surprising day. It was in some areas 85 degrees and to top it all of it's only April 7,2010. Just the begining of spring. Not complaining at all but, it just goes to show you how not in control we are of the world that we live in today. It's nature is so beautiful that it is overwhelming to sometimes see. I drive a distance to work, approximately 2 hours and I see so much nature that it captures me everytime I see a sunrise or set. Unfortunately i'm on the road that long that I see the day and night. It makes me say thank you even more to our creator and almighty God and give him praises for a job well done.....

I had some bad news today that had me very sadden but, I had a visit from an old friend whom I use to talk to often and she was able to console me and in actuality it was just an answer to my prayer because I was just telling my husband a few days ago how much I miss my friend. When I felt bad she had always put a smile on my face and I sometimes need that . Not saying that I don't get that from my husband but it is different.It was good to see her. To all of you stay positive. There is someone out there with worst problems than you ....

Good Friday

I had the best time listening to my fellow brothers and sisters give the words of the lord with such conviction. For all of those who read my blog and don't know much about me, I go to a church that teaches the bible very thoroughly and allows us to do assignments like minituare sermons. We get a scripture or a person from the bible and elaborate on what we feel has happen or took place at this specific time. I have gotten so much closer to my spiritual side that I do not anger as much as I use to and have more peace in my life. I do not let things get to me and no matter what happens in my life, I just have to remember that Jesus walk the cross to his death and never complain and pick us to die for. There is nothing else that I can endure that would take the place of that. So no matter how bad it is, our choice makes a big difference. Jesus chose us so that we can be saved. If you do not understand what I mean, read from the King James Version of the bible in Numbers 16:20-36

Happy Easter

"Today is the day that the Lord has made. I will rejoice and be glad in it".
This song was sang in almost all churches today.. Let's remember that today Jesus our saviour resurrected and rose from the dead as prophesized by the prophets in our Old testament. I just want to say "Thank You Jesus" for hanging on that cross and dieing for me and for the sins of all mankind. We do not deserve a blessing like that and on behalf of the world I just want to thank you... Happy Easter

My Baby

It's an amazing feeling being a grandmother. I always thought I was to young to be a grandma and that my husband and myself needed to be at least 65 to be a good grandparent. We had the privilidge to watch our grandaughter due to some emergency that my daughter had with her in laws. Needless to say we were not prepared because you literally have to rest up and have days off of work in order for you to be prepared to babysit, but can I tell you that I think this is why God gave me the honor to have grandchildren early. So that I and my husband can enjoy to be parents all over again. Kind of do the thins that we could not afford to do when we had our own and we were so poor. Not that we are rich now but, we our more financially fit to deal with situations different than we where before . Also to play with them. My grandaughter has grown so much in the past month that I already see a difference in her little character and personality. She loves her grandfather to death. All she wants to do is play and she has such a way with the way that she is , its literally impossible to say no to her...

Love your children every moment, but love your grandchildren even more because this is your second chance in parenthood....

spiritual teachings

Hello all,

I've been very busy sorry . But, I have news. To those of you who take the time to receive a spiritual sentence in life... Here is one " But the manifestation of the spirit be given to every man to profit withal" 1 corinthians 12:7. My beautiful pastor and teacher has decided that we the congregation take a prophetic teaching course... We are learning at college level and will receive a certificate afetr we are finish if we take all 14 classes and past the test at the end.
We are so lucky to take all our courses free of charge and all we pay is the manuals. That's what you call a blessing... This is why I tell you I love my Pastor. She is always there no matter what and that is something that you can not find in a lot of pastor's/preacher today. If it's not sunday or if you have not made an appointment you will never get through. Ours is always working for the Lord 24/7....

We are getting ready to do events for our church through our women's fellowship and throughout the summer some plan events...If anyone is in Pa and in our town or close enough they would like to join please feel free to do so.. You will really enjoy. We also have a prayer line that we are honor to have so that we may pray as a congregation and share our prayer to God.

Introduction

The first step is in this method is the INTRODUCTION: " This is what I am going to talk about today, and this is why the text and the topic are important". The second step is the presentation of the sermon argument and application. The third step is a reiteration of the message and a reinforcement of the sermon outcome you are hoping to achieve. Following are some additional options but keep in mind that no matter what approach you take, a good solid first sentence is in order:

1) Begin with a question or observation drawn from the biblical text that offers an angle of vision from which the passage will be considered. ie" I wonder what went wrong through Noah's mind when God told him to build that ark?
2) Begin with stating a problem of national, congregational or personal that needs to be solved, from gesting how the text can offer guidance or even a solution to that problem. ie: 85 ytation taken ears after women received the right to vote in America, they are still denied the right to preach the Gospel in many of this county"s pulpits...
3) Begin with a quoatation taken from your readings or comments you have heard from others , or from tv or the newspapers. ie: " In explaining his conduct with Monica Lewinsky, Bill Clinton wrote these words in his autobiography: " I did it because I could".
4) Begin with a comment that fixes the occasion at which the people have gathered: Funeral, church anniversary, ordination when the occasion is clear to the people, they can all focus on that common event or experience. ie: Today is worldwide communion Sunday, and all around the world our brothers and sisters in christ are joining us in rememberance of our Lord's suffering, death and resurrection.

Argument: The argument constitutes the body of the sermon several types are rooted in the thetoric of ancient greece and rome and have been adapted for use in debates as well as in political disclosure. Preachers should be aware of them because each of them can easily be used in the crafting (putting together) of the sermon.

A priori is an argument that works from cause to effect. This argument states that as a result of a certain act or fact a certain outcome or consequence can be expected . ie : Consider Romans 10:9 or Romans 6:23 or Judges21:25 the key to this preaching device is to point out the consequences , both positive and negative , for virtually every action we take in life..
A Posteriori: is an argument that works from effect or outcome backward to the cause. It asks why things are the way they are. Arguments that are a part of the raging debate about the origins of the universe are a posteriori argument . ie: consider Romans10:13-17, The effect, or finished product is stated first" Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved." The text then works backward to explore what causes people to be saved.
Sometimes the shape of the biblical text may determine the shape of a ser,ons argument... In other words, the movements, within the scripture text might be used to determine the points to be made in the sermon: Many times all one needs to do is preach the sermon that is built into the text.
