Exciting Times

Well, we ended up going to the ER last night.  I had been having chest pains on and off over the last few days and decided to go ahead and go to the hospital to get checked out.  After an extended 6 hour stay in the ER, blood work done, CT Scan and EKG, I found that all I have is acute bronchitis.  Now I feel stupid for going in but at least I found that my heart is in excellent shape and no blockages anywhere.  It was a rough night.  I think it was rougher on Michelle.  We got back home from the  hospital at 4am this morning and she stayed up until she got the kids ready for school and came back from dropping them off and got in bed at about 8am.  She did get about 5 hours sleep before getting back up to go get the kids from school.  I, of course got my sleep in but still feeling a little rough.  Michelle is now passed out on the couch and I don’t have enough nerve to wake her.  Maybe I will just bring her pillow to her and make sure she is covered up.  Then I guess I will go to bed all by myself.  Lexi is having a friend over tonight too so they are keeping themselves busy.  Allison and Bradley are already passed out in their beds asleep.  Glad I am off this weekend.  I of course had to call in sick this morning cause there would be no way I could have worked after being up all night.  God Bless to you all.

Interesting Topics Being discussed

  Hello again everyone!  I know that it has been forever since I have blogged.  Things are going well.  Been real busy at work.  The weather here has been crazy over the last month or so.  We had gotten 9” of snow in my small little world.  Now they are calling for more snow next week but just don’t know how much.  For most folks, Snow might be the “Norm” for you.  In my little world, it is not.  The Kids do enjoy it though.  Brings back childhood memories for me too.
  Enough of the jibber-jabber though.  Let’s get down to the “Topics”.  I will only mention 2 topics today since I am running short on time.  The real funny topic is that I read an article from CNN about our President.  Let me just quote that for you here.
Addressing a gathering of Senate Democrats, Obama promised to "call (Republicans) out when (Democrats) extend a hand and get a fist in return."
Let me also give you the link so that you can read the full context of the quote.  It is Here.  Now this just cracks me up.  He meets with the GOP and gets hammered and then he goes to the Democrats and says now if those folks over there bother you, you come tell me about it.  Yea, right!  Like he is the Daddy.  Come on folks.  We DO NOT have time for this little bickering going on here.  We Need elected officials to do what they were hired to do.  It doesn’t matter what side of the fence they are on, just get off the fence and make a stand.  If you make the wrong stand (as determined by the voters) then you will loose your job.   Reminds me of telling my kids that if one hits you, come tell me and I will give them a spanking.  Oh my! what a waste of taxpayer’s money.  I didn’t think that the President was elected to scold either Democrats or Republicans but was elected to run the country.
  Now for the second topic.  Are you Ready for what the Lord has for you this year?  There has been a lot of Prophetic word going on and it’s still early in the year.  I know, some of you might be going on about not believing in all of that garb.  That’s fine. But what happens if you miss out on something?  Granted, you won’t just be blessed by reading or hearing but you will be blessed if you hear the WORD of God and act upon it.  I truly believe that this is the year that God will open up to his Children and pour out a whole bunch of stuff.  No, silly, Not Wrath.  But you never know who he might have to deal with either.  I am talking about those that have a calling on their lives.  Oh, but wait.  That is all of us.  We all have a calling on our lives from God.  This is the time to ACT on what GOD is calling you to do.  Have you ever felt that the Lord was leading you to do something, like preach, teach a Sunday School class, or help at a Nursing Home?  That might be your calling.  I pray that each of you that read this, will really take the time to dig into the Word of God and then take time to meditate and listen for the voice of the Lord.  You never know, you might just hear. 
  God Bless until next time!
