I wanted you to be the first to know that I have moved and to give you my new home address: I have moved from Beggars Alley located on Poverty Lane at the corner of Bleak and Busted Circle. As of today, I have a brand new home.

My new address is: 123 Living Well Drive in the Abundance Subdivision, located at the corners
of Blessings Street and Thankful Peak. You get there by taking the Praising Him Interstate, which runs North, South, East and West.  Read more... (459 words, estimated 1:50 mins reading time)

“He that can have Patience, can have what he will” — Benjamin Franklin

As time went by in that restaurant we laughed talked, watched, and waited. We are all familiar with that old saying “Good Things Come To Those That Wait.”  Experience teaches me that its true!

We got a really good laugh because comedian/actress Kym Whitley came through for her tickets and was cracking jokes the whole time.

She was very friendly, had a big smile, and seemed like a lot of fun to be around.  Read more... (1261 words, 6 images, estimated 5:03 mins reading time)

As you know, when I contacted the Congress Woman’s office I was advised to send my travel itinerary immediately no later than Monday, which by the grace of God I was able to do.

On Wednesday, January 7, 2009 11:31 AM I received this email:

“The unemployment rate — now at a five-year high of 6.1 percent — is expected to hit 7 or 7.5 percent by late 2009…”–AP

An unemployed graduate woke up one morning and checked his pocket. All he had left was $10. He decided to use it to buy food and then wait for death as he was too proud to go begging. He was frustrated as he could find no job; nobody was ready to help him.  Read more... (670 words, 1 image, estimated 2:41 mins reading time)

A newly arrived soul in Heaven was met by St. Peter. The saint toured the soul around Heaven. Both of them walked side by side inside a large workroom filled with angels. St. Peter stopped in front of the first section and said, “This is the Receiving Section. Here, all the petitions to God said in prayer are received”. The soul looked at the section, and it was terribly busy with so many angels sorting out petitions written on voluminous paper sheets from all the people of the world.

They walked again until they reached the 2nd section, and St. Peter told the soul, “This is the Packaging and Delivery Section. Here, the graces and blessings the people asked for are packed and delivered to the persons who asked for them down on earth.” The soul saw how busy it was. There were so many angels working in that room, since so many blessing were being packed and delivered to Earth.

Finally at the farthest corner of the room, the soul stopped at the last section. To the surprise of the soul, only one angel stayed there idly, doing nothing. “This is the Acknowledging Section,” St. Peter told the soul. “How is it that, there is no work here?” “That’s the sad thing,” St. Peter answered. “After the people received the blessings they asked for, very few send their acknowledgments”. “How does one acknowledge God’s blessing?” “Simple,” St. Peter answered. “Just say, “Thank you, Lord.”

Thank you Lord, for giving me the chance to share this message with others and also, for giving me so many wonderful people to share this with.  Read more... (278 words, estimated 1:07 mins reading time)
