HAPPY WEDNESDAY

It was a very quiet Trick or Treat night at my house last night. My next door neighbor sister and her neighbor and I sat on the porch and enjoyed what few we had…only about 35 tricksters. I had 103 pieces of candy.

DN#3 and his fiancé also stopped by with the pumpkin they had carved . So the 5 of us sat on the porch and we ate a few pieces of that good candy too!

With a new month, I also have a new purse, so make sure you check out my journal page to see what it looks like. Only one more month of purses and then it’ll be time to stop…I’ve got quite a selection now. Next year it’ll have to be something else, not sure what yet.

Have a great day all ! Another wonderful one on the Way !

Please pray for God's protection of our troops and HIS wisdom for their commanders.

 Lord, hold our troops in your loving hands. Protect them as they protect us. Bless them and their families for the selfless acts they perform for us in our time of need. I ask this in the name of Jesus, our Lord and Savior.

TODAY IS…PECAN DAY

Now, why do people usually only eat pecans during the holidays? The are cholesterol and sodium free - and are also full of vitamines and minerals. Eating a handful every day is good for you, but don't forget to try out special pecan recipes, too!

1 small pkg. butterscotch pudding mix

1/2 cup brown sugar

3/4 cup pecans candied cherries to decorate (optional)

1. Grease a bundt pan. Put the pecans and cherries in the bottom of the pan. Place frozen rolls over the pecans (don't defrost!). 2. Sprinkle the pudding mix and the brown sugar over the rolls. Drizzle the melted margarine over the top. Cover with waxed paper and a towel. Let stand overnight, or at least 8 hours. 3. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Bake for 40 minutes. Let stand 5 minutes and then invert onto a serving platter.

Overheard at a Computer Store:

ONE MORE…

 Not Enough Water

A man goes to the doctor and reports that he hasn't been feeling well. The doctor examines him, leaves the room and comes back with three different bottles of pills.

 "Take the green pill with a big glass of water when you get up," the doctor says. "Take the blue pill with a big glass of water after lunch. Then, just before going to bed, take the red pill with another big glass of water."

Startled to be put on so much medicine the man stammers, "My goodness, Doc, exactly what's my problem?"

Says the doctor, "You're not drinking enough water

TODAY’S REFLECTION

Why are you so worried about having no food? Won't you ever learn or understand? Are your hearts too hard to take it in? 'You have eyes -- can't you see? You have ears -- can't you hear?' Don't you remember anything at all?

Mark 8:13-18 NLT Ed. 1

A grandmother recently shared this story to illustrate the hearing and understanding problem.

Our five year old grandson couldn't wait to tell his grandfather about the movie we had watched on television, "20,000 Leagues Under the Sea." The scenes with the submarine and the giant octopus had kept him wide eyed.

In the middle of the telling, my husband interrupted him and asks, "What caused the submarine to sink?"

With a look of disbelief, he replied, "Grandpa, it was the 20,000 leaks!"

Could it be that we all, on occasion, have hearing problems, or at least understanding problems?

HAPPY TUESDAY

AND HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

We have trick or treat night here this evening. The weather man is saying all the showers predicted today should end by early evening. I hope so ! It was great going to work in the daylight yesterday morning. The sun was just starting to come up, I couldn’t see it on the horizon, but it was light out at 6:30 when I left the house and it turned out to be a beautiful sunny day! We’ll see what today brings…

Have a great day all ! Another wonderful one on the Way !

Lord, hold our troops in your loving hands. Protect them as they protect us. Bless them and their families for the selfless acts they perform for us in our time of need. I ask this in the name of Jesus, our Lord and Savior.

TODAY IS…WHAT’S HALLOWEEN DAY

Holidays and festivals have been celebrated at the end of October for thousands of years. During the 8th century, the Christian church made November 1st, "All Saints' Day". And the night before was called "All Hallows Eve". Over the years, this name became Halloween. The custom of Halloween was brought to America in the 1800's by European immigrants.

TODAY’S TRIVIA

National UNICEF Day - A day for raising money for the United Nations Children's Fund. http://www.unicef.org/

Today is National Knock-Knock Day, a day for kids of all ages to try out their knock-knock jokes.

Today is National Caramel Apple Day.

Today is Sneak Some of the Candy Yourself Before the Kids Start Knocking Day

834: Established by Pope Gregory the 4th to honor the saints, the first All Hallows Eve was observed by all Christian churches

1941 - Mount Rushmore was ‘completed’ this day. Actually, the money ran out. Work on the monument, honoring Presidents Washington, Jefferson, Lincoln, and Teddy Roosevelt, had begun August 10, 1927. It was dedicated March 3, 1933 although work continued. Sculptor Gutzon Borglum died in 1941 and his son, Lincoln, continued the project until funds ran out on this day. Since then , no additional carving has been done, nor is any further work (other than maintenance) on the memorial planned.

1964 - The Supremes Baby Love was the number one single (for four weeks), while Barbra Streisand’s People was #1 on U.S. album charts (for five weeks).

TODAY’S SMILE

I love the story of a church that had a parking problem. It was right next door to a store that was closed on Sunday. They asked the owner ifthey could use his parking lot.

He said that they could use it for 51 Sundays out of the year but that it would be chained off one week. They were happy with the deal, but curious why it would be chained off that one Sunday.

He explained that he just wanted them to remember that it wasn't their parking lot! You know, there's a lot of wisdom there. Because if you use something long enough, you tend to assume that it's yours.

But everything we have belongs to God. God wants us to remember that.

But then you say in your heart, 'My power and the might of mine hand have gained me this wealth.' And you shall remember the Lord your God, for it is he who gives you power to get wealth. (Deuteronomy 8:17-18).

TODAY’S REFLECTION

Everything you do or say should be done to obey Jesus your Lord.

Colossians 3:17

Have you seen the painting The Angelus by Jean-Francois Millet? It portrays two peasants praying in their field. A church steeple sits on the horizon, and a light falls down from heaven. The rays do not fall on the church, however. They don’t fall on the bowed heads of the man and woman. The rays of sun fall on the wheelbarrow and the pitchfork at the couple’s feet. God’s eyes fall on the work of our hands.

Our Wednesdays matter to him as much as our Sundays. He blurs the secular and sacred. One stay-at-home mom keeps this sign over her kitchen sink: “Divine tasks performed here, daily.” An executive hung this plaque in her office: “My desk is my altar.” Both are correct.

With God, our work matters as much as our worship. Indeed, work can be worship.

TODAY IS…FRANKENSTEIN DAY

In the summer of 1816, Mary Shelly was 19 years old and visiting a villa in Switzerland. Stormy weather forced the guests to stay indoors, so they spent the time reading ghost stories. One night, Mary was challenged to write her own ghost story - and this became Frankenstein. The classic monster movie based on her book was made in 1931. It scared the living daylights out of all movie-goers and was the most famous role Boris Karloff every played.

A JOKE THAT THOSE ON A DIET CAN APPRECIATE

 My husband had lost 50 pounds and after eight years of being a housewife, I had taken a job in a restaurant. When I returned home after my first day at work, I gave my husband a big hug.

He seemed to cling to me longer than usual. "Did you really miss me that much today, dear?" I asked.

"No," came the reply. "But you smell so much like pancakes that I hate to let you go."

TODAY’S WORD

Ad-um-brate

1. To give a sketchy outline of.

2. To prefigure indistinctly, foreshadow.

To disclose partially or guardedly.

TODAY’S REFLECTION

 He is like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither. Whatever he does prospers.

Psalm 1:3

Psalm 1 contrasts the life of the righteous with the life of the wicked. Verse 3 is a simile of the blessedness of the righteous. This type of tree will withstand the buffeting of the wind, and the scorching of the sun. It will bless man and animals with its fruit, shade and shelter. The fruit of the tree is unfailing.

 To continue nourishment for the righteous tree we must remain with God. We need to continue in prayer and worship of Him. We must read His Word. We must associate with God's people. We cannot afford to separate ourselves from the nourishment of God.

Two roads diverged in a wood,

and I – I took the one less traveled by,

And that has made all the difference .

HAPPY SUNDAY

Yesterday we had the high winds and thunderstorms and in the rain coming down, there were a few snowflakes too!  My weather alarm radio even went off with a warning.

Today is supposed to be a little calmer weather wise and I'm hoping it'll be nice enough to even get out for an afternoon walk.  I do miss the walks and need the exercise.  House work is supposed to be the equivalent of walking, if you do enough of it and I suppose going up and down all the flights of stairs that I have does count for something, but it's just not the same.

I'll be off to church shortly for my weekly dose of R&R and I hope you all are able to bless your spirit is some way today too. The good Lord knows we all need it.

Have a great day !  Another wonderful one on the Way  !

TODAY IS…DRACULA DAY

The 1931 version of Dracula was the first classic horror film made by Universal Pictures. It was based on Bram Stoker's 1897 novel. The popular vampire story had been made as a silent movie in the 1920s and was also a hit Broadway play. Hungarian stage actor Bela Lugosi starred in the smash-hit theater production and was signed to make the movie. He quickly became the definitive screen vampire, and Dracula was his most famous role. Universal's next picture was the successful movie Frankenstein.

One day, a little girl is sitting and watching her mother do the dishes at the kitchen sink. She suddenly notices that her mother has several strands of white hair sticking out in contrast on her brunette head.

She looks at her mother and inquisitively asks, "Why are some of your hairs white, Mom?"

Her mother replied, "Well, every time that you do something wrong and make me cry or unhappy, one of my hairs turns white."

The little girl thought about this revelation for a while, and then said, "So, Momma, how come ALL of grandma's hairs are white?"

One should take children's philosophy to heart. They never despise a bubble because it burst; they immediately set to work to blow another one

TODAY’S QUOTE

Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns whatwe have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity. It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend. Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today, and creates a vision for tomorrow.

On Going to Church: (Author Unknown)

A Christian wrote a letter to the editor of the newspaper and complained that it made no sense to go to church every Sunday. "I've gone for 30 years now," he wrote, "and in that time I have heard something like 3,000 sermons. But for the life of me I can't remember a single one of them. So I think I'm wasting my time . . . and the pastors are wasting theirs by giving sermons at all."

This started a real controversy in the "Letters to the Editor" column, much to the delight of the editor. It went on for weeks until someone wrote this clincher:

"I've been married for 30 years now. In that time my wife has cooked some 32,000 meals. But for the life of me, I cannot recall what the menu was for a single one of those meals. But I do know this: they all nourished me and gave me the strength I needed to do my work. If my wife had not given me those meals, I would be dead today."

 No comments were made on the sermon contents anymore.

"The lips of the righteous nourish many . . . " Proverbs 10:21a

TODAY’S WORD

hobbit \HOB-it\ noun :

a member of a fictitious peaceful and genial race of small humanlike creatures that dwell underground

"What is a hobbit?" wrote J.R.R. Tolkien in the 1937 fantasy novel that introduced Mr. Bilbo Baggins. The author then answered himself: "They are (or were) little people, about half our height, and smaller than the bearded Dwarves. . . . There is little or no magic about them, except the ordinary everyday sort which helps them to disappear when large stupid folk like you and me come blundering along . . . ." Tolkien tells us that hobbits "are inclined to be fat," and that they "dress in bright colours"; they "have good-natured faces, and deep fruity laughs (especially after dinner)." Tolkien, a professional linguist who taught at Oxford, coined the word "hobbit" (and many other terms—in fact, a whole new language) for The Hobbit and for his enormously popular series The Lord of the Rings.

TODAY’S REFLECTION

 Everything that was written in the past was written to teach us, so that…we might have hope.

Romans 15:4

Encourage those who are struggling. Don’t know what to say? Then open your Bible...

To the grief stricken: “God has said, ‘Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you’” (Heb. 13:5 NIV).

To the guilt ridden: “There is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus” (Rom. 8:1 NIV).

To the jobless: “In all things God works for the good of those who love him” (Rom. 8:28 NIV).

To those who feel beyond God’s grace: “Whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life” (John 3:16 NIV).

Your Bible is a basket of blessings. Won’t you share one?

We are back to rainy weather today, but I sure did enjoy the sunshine of the past two days . When I left for work yesterday morning it was cool and crisp. You could see the stars in the sky too !

TODAY’S SMILE

Four blind men met an elephant one day. The first blind man grabbed the elephant's trunk. "An elephant is long, thin and flexible", he said.

"You are wrong", declared his friend, who had hold of the elephant's leg. It is tall and solid like a tree trunk. I can put my arms around the elephant."

"What are you two talking about?" asked the third blind man, who was feeling the elephant's side. "An elephant is large and flat andvery hard. An elephant is like a wall."

 "You are all wrong!" cried the blind man who had grabbed the elephant's tail. "An elephant is like a piece of rope. I can hold it in one hand."

The four blind men continued to argue about the elephant. They did not realise that all of them were right and all of them were wrong. They did not know that they each had only part of the picture, not the whole.

How often have we all met with similar experiences in our own lives? We've all been in arguments in which all the participants had part of the truth only. We've all been in discussions in which each person was convinced that he or she had the full picture when in fact nobody did.

The putting together of pieces of a picture is interesting if we happen to be reading a detective story. We like to watch the detective pull together the threads of a story until he or she has a case. It's very different in real life. We all know people who are like the blind men; each determined to hold on to his own understanding.

HAPPY THURSDAY

I had a little excitement after work yesterday—I came home and my furnace was making a terrible noise and it wasn’t producing any heat. I called the repair service and they came out within the hour and had it fixed. Fortunately, they had the needed part and replaced it right away.

With only colder weather coming our way I’m glad that it decided to break down now and not when it gets down to the zero degree weather we sometimes get.

We had sunshine off and on yesterday afternoon and believe me it was welcome. When I left work it was up to 50 degrees outside. That’s more like a normal fall temperature.

Each new day is always a surprise ! You just never know what might be new at ‘my house’ .

Take good care all !

Have a great day ! Another wonderful one on the Way

TODAY IS…JACK-O-LANTERN DAY

The Jack-o-lantern custom comes from Irish folklore. The story tells of a man named Jack who carried an ember in a hollowed out turnip to light his way. So, early Jack-o-lanterns were all made out of turnips. When the Irish came to America, they found that pumpkins were far more plentiful than turnips - and easier to carve. Before flashlights were invented, carved pumpkins with candles inside became part of the Halloween tradition.

TODAY’S TRIVIA

Mule Day - The first mules in America arrived in Boston on this day in 1785. They were a gift from King Charles III of Spain.

Today is National Mincemeat Pie Day.

1854: Charles William Post was born in Springfield, Illinois. While an invalid for eight years, he developed "Grape Nuts," "Postum" and "Post Toasties." Later he formed the Postum Cereal Company.

Fearless Leader

A professor at Texas A & M, taught during the day and did research at night. and would usually take a break around nine, however, calling up the strategy game Warcraft on the Internet and playing with an on-line team. One night he was paired with a veteran of the game who was a master strategist. With master strategist at the helm, the troops crushed opponent after opponent, and after six games they were undefeated.

Pole Power

I was getting ready for work when I looked out the window and saw the utility company starting to erect a pole in front of my house. They were going to position it directly in front of my picture window. No way, absolutely no way, was I going to permit this.

I gulped down my coffee and went directly to the crew supervisor and told him, in no uncertain terms, that I was not going to stand for his crew putting that stupid electrical pole directly in front of my picture window.

He took out a plot map, a map for pole locations and a right of way document. He went on to explain that the chosen location was the best spot for the pole.

I told him it was not the best location for me and that when I came home from work that day I certainly did not expect to see that pole in front of my window.

He asked where I did want them to put it and I told him I didn't give a hoot, as long as it was not in front of my window. I felt pretty smug as I drove off to work because

I felt I got my point across. I knew he was afraid to put it there now. Ah, the feeling of power; at least until I got home and found the pole in the middle of my driveway.

TODAY’S WORD

sa·lu·bri·ous adjective

 Conducive or favorable to health or well-being.

TODAY’S REFLECTION

Jesus replied, You of little faith, why are you so afraid?

Matthew 8:26

The disciples cowered in fear, when their small boat was caught in the storm on the lake. They surely must have felt embarrassed when Jesus rebuked them for their fear and lack of faith.

Too many times we panic and waste time fretting and feeling sorry for ourselves. Jesus must feel the same sorrow over our lack of faith.

 Doubt sees the obstacles: faith sees the way.

Doubt sees the darkest night; faith sees the day.

Doubt dreads to take a step; faith soars on high.

Doubt questions, 'Who believes?' Faith answers, 'I'"

HAPPY WEDNESDAY

We missed the snow on Tuesday, it went way east of us. You won’t hear me crying about that one. A little snow on Christmas is all we really need. I know there are lots of you out there that would disagree with me, especially my children , but the older I get , the more I dislike it. I guess it would be fine if I could stay in and not have to go out in it, but I do.

The rest of the week our temps will be up in the 40’s so it’ll be too warm to snow!

Take good care all !

Have a great day ! Another wonderful one on the Way!

TODAY IS…TRICK OR TREAT DAY

Trick or-Treating started in 9th century European with a custom called "souling". On November 2, All Souls Day, people would walk from village to village begging for "soul cakes". These were square pieces of bread with currants. And for every soul cake the beggars got, they said a prayer for the dead relatives of the donors. Today, Trick or Treating is just for fun. And most children say their favorite Trick or Treat candy is either chocolate or gum.

TODAY’S SMILE

ANTS

 (Author Unknown)

Brenda was a young woman that wanted to learn to rock climb. Although she was terribly afraid, she went with a group and they faced this tremendous cliff of rock that was practically perpendicular.

In spite of her fear, she put on the gear and took hold of the rope and started up the face of that rock. Well, she got to a ledge where she could take a breather. As she was hanging on there, whoever was holding the rope up at the top of the cliff made a mistake and snapped the rope against Brenda's eye and knocked out her contact lens.

You know how tiny contact lenses are and how almost impossible to find. Well, here she is on a rock ledge, with who knows how many hundreds of feet behind and hundreds of feet above her. Of course, she looked and looked and looked, hoping that she would be able to find that contact lens.

 Here she was, very far from home. Her sight was now blurry. She was very upset by the fact that she wouldn't be anywhere near a place where she could get a new contact lens. And she prayed that the Lord would help her to find it.

Well, her last hope was that perhaps when she got to the top of the cliff, one of the girls that was up there on the top might be able to find her contact lens in the corner of her eye. When she got to the top, a friend examined her eye. There was no contact lens to be found.

She sat down with the rest of the party, waiting for the rest of them to come up the face of the cliff. She looked out across range after range of mountains, thinking of that Bible verse that says, "The eyes of the Lord run to and from throughout the whole earth."

She thought, "Lord, You can see all these mountains. You know every single stone and leaf that's on those mountains and You know exactly where my contact lens is."

Finally, the time came when it was time to go down. They walked down the trail to the bottom. Just as they got there, there was a new party of rock climbers coming along. As one of them started up the face of the cliff, she shouted out, "Hey, you guys! Anybody lose a contact lens?"

Well, that would be startling enough, wouldn't it? She had found the contact lens! But you know why she saw it? An ant was carrying that contact lens so that it was moving slowly across the face of the rock.

What does that tell you about the God of the universe? Is He in charge of the tiniest things? Do ants matter to Him? Of course they do. He made them. He designed them.

Brenda told me that her father is a cartoonist. When she told him this incredible story, he drew a picture of that ant lugging that contact lens with the words "Lord, I don't know why You want me to carry this thing. I can't eat it and it's awfully heavy. But if this is what You want me to do, I'll carry it for You."

 If God is in charge of the ants, don't you think He cares about you and me? I guess Solomon was right. One could learn a valuable lesson from that ant - TRUST IN GOD!

We could probably all say a little more often, "God, I don't know why you want me to carry this load. I see no good in it and it's awfully heavy. Still, if you want me to, I'll carry it for You."

TODAY’S WORD

pro·pi·tious adjective

1. Presenting favorable circumstances; auspicious. See Synonym favorable.

2. Kindly; gracious.

TODAY’S REFLECTION

I kept my faith, even when I said, I am greatly afflicted

Psalms 116:10

We have two choices in dealing with the unexpected. We can become bitter, or we can allow the unexpected to enrich our lives.

I would not have been able to handle all the ups and downs in my life with out God's love working in me. So, we must nurture our faith--no matter how much we have.

Whether we have lots of faith or only a tiny bit, we must nurture it.

TODAY IS…BLACK CAT DAY

Cats of all colors were domesticated as pets around 3000 B.C. in Egypt. They were well loved and protected by law from mistreatment. But let's jump to Europe during the Middle Ages. Many old women fed stray cats in the streets.

When superstitious people called these old women "hags" or "witches", they thought the cats (especially black cats) were their witchy companions.

That's the only reason black cats were ever considered unlucky. Silly superstition.

TODAY’S SMILE

A World of Smile

By: Author Unknown

About ten years ago when I was an undergraduate in college, I was working as an intern at my University's Museum of Natural History. One day while working at the cash register in the gift shop, I saw an elderly couple come in with a little girl in a wheelchair.

As I looked closer at this girl, I saw that she was kind of perched on her chair. I then realized she had no arms or legs, just a head, neck and torso. She was wearing a little white dress with red polka dots.

As the couple wheeled her up to me I was looking down at the register. I turned my head toward the girl and gave her a wink. As I took the money from her grandparents, I looked back at the girl, who was giving me the cutest, largest smile I have ever seen.

All of a sudden her handicap was gone and all I saw was this beautiful girl, whose smile just melted me and almost instantly gave me a completely new sense of what life is all about.

She took me from a poor, unhappy college student and brought me into her world; a world of smiles, love and warmth.

That was ten years ago. I'm a successful business person now and whenever I get down and think about the troubles of the world, I think about that little girl and the remarkable lesson about life that she taught me.

Smile at each other; smile at your wife, smile at your husband, smile at your children, smile at each other- it doesn't matter who it is- and that will help you to grow up in greater love for each other.

Mother Teresa

TODAY’S WORD

HAPPY MONDAY

Sunday was a dreary old day and the wind was whistling around my house. It’s getting colder outside again. The critters and I just stayed in and kept warm. Of course I enjoyed having my computer back on line and spent a good part of the day on it.

I heard from the campers and they now have their campers all winterized and closed up for another season. DD had an exciting time with a big ole snake in her camper and DS#1 had mice in his. Hopefully they are all sealed up for the winter now and no more critters will be visiting them.

DD had 4 more A’s on her tests at school and her hubby is being just great helping out around the house, so that she can do her studying.

I saw DS#5 at church and all is well with them and DS#6 called to say they were doing just fine. They had spent Saturday at Cedar Point and I guess there was quite a crowd there.

That’s the news from home as I know it.

Back to work for me today !

Have a great day all ! Another wonderful one on the Way !

Just think, we still use his methods of food preservation today!
