Money

By Stephanie Duke

Money, what can be said about money? Money tows the line, money maybe kind. Money you cannot trust, money may even rust. Money, what can be said about money? Money pays the bills; money gives you thrills, money gets you over the hill. Money, pays you back, money keeps you on track. Money, what can be said about money? It has been said that money can be funny, and it pays playboy bunnies. Money's at the root, it can be a hoot, but let me take you back a minute, cause you know that I am in it . In the beginning was God and all things were created by him. God has no problem with them. It is not that money is evil, the problem is with the people. So, trust God and not your money and he will give you all of his honey.

Money answereth all things. Eccl. 10:19

My Son's Movie

Hi everyone and Happy New Year! I hope that everyone had a blessed holiday season; I know I did.  It was the best one yet; my family and I enjoyed being with one another. Well, it is another year filled with new hope and new life and great opportunities.  I would like to share this video of a movie that my son is playing in.  It is called "Rum Smoke".  He plays the henchmen or bouncer for the loan shark in this picture.  He also wrote and sung the song "Fallen Angel" that is featured in the movie.  Here it is hope you enjoy it.

Angels Are Watching

Angels - Celestial beings, heavenly host, God's messengers.

      Angels are they real or fiction? Or, are they just some mythical creatures from long ago?  I personally believe that Angels exist, not just because the bible says so but because I have had a close encounter with the heavenly kind.  Here's my story: It was one winter night, my family and I  had gone to bed.  Before I went to sleep; I prayed a prayer asking God to place his Angels around my family to keep us all safe as we slept.  I went to sleep along with my husband and our then 6 children. 
      Sometime later I was awaken, something or someone drew me toward our living room.  I walked up toward the center of the room, I felt like there was a force of some kind trying to pull me down to the floor.  I fought it; I felt an urge to wake up my husband. He wouldn't wake up; I persistly pulled at him and said; baby get up! We have to get the children out of the house.  Finally, he moved, but he keep passing out, I kept pulling on him until  we began to quickly get our 6 children out of the house. We took them out through the back door because we couldn't go out the front.
     Well, I am happy to say that we all survived.  What it turned out to be was; that earlier that day we had a gas heater installed in our house.  It was not installed properly, so carbon dioxide had escaped from it and that was the force that I was fighting.  As everyone knows, you can not smell carbon dioxide. I didn't smell anything I could feel it and God lead me to get my family out.  We should all be dead, but God did exactly that I asked him to do that night.  He put his Angels around us and protected my whole family.  So, I truly believe that Angels do exist and that they are watching over us everyday.  If you have had an experience with Angels, I would love to have you share it here on my blog. So, please comment; tell me about your close encounter of the heavenly kind. 

Luke 13 and 14

and suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God and saying. Glory to God in the highest and on earth peace, good will toward me.

This review is from: "No Separate Roses II (A collection of Short Stories and Poetry)" (Book 2) (Kindle Edition)

I'm a big fan of chick lit so the short stories are outside my normal genre. Nevertheless, I did find the stories interesting. I gave the book five stars because I loved the poetry. It was very inspirational and heartfelt.

This review is from: "No Separate Roses II (A collection of Short Stories and Poetry)" (Book 2) (Kindle Edition)

A very sweet book filled with short stories and poems written in an easy to read understandable way. This book is nspiring and the stories read well. It is a family book because it is non offensive, sensitive and offers a lot to learn in terms of morals and values. The author writes very subtlely where at points I could almost imagine a slight whisper as I coul hear the words in my head.She is very descriptive at points and there are messages to her stories.

Praise The Lord Everybody!

Today is Sunday November the 24th 2013, it is a day that we have not seen before and it is a day that we will never see again.  I thank the Lord for blessing it when he created it.  Hi everyone, God has seen fit to bless us all with another day.  I give him thanks and praise, for he did not have to do it.  God is a good God and worthy to be praised.  Praise him in the morning and praise him in the noon day and praise him all night long.  He is Alpha and Omega the beginning and the end.  He is omnipresent and omnipotent, he is all powerful.  So, stop what you are doing right now and praise him with your whole heart and you whole mind body and spirit.  Praise Jesus, Praise Jesus, forever.  God Bless!
