Part 2~Many Are On A Divine Detour!

2009-02-27T01:05:00.004-05:00

BECAUSE OF THE DETOUR, DON'T THINK HIS PROMISES ARE POSTPONED.......Actually, the opposite is true (Psalm 138:8). Because God is taking you a different way, the promise will not only come to pass, but be fulfilled on a grander scale, because you allowed God to do it His way (Psalm 18:30). Oh yes, you meant well and your heart was in the right place, but God wanted to show you “a better way.” And

I can't give anyone credit for this cause I'm not sure where it came from, except that a mighty prayer intercessor in Greensboro, NC gave it to me and said, "Sister, does this have your name on it?? All I know is it isn't my work, but, yes, it definitely had my name on it. Is your name on it, too?? Do you wonder why it seems you are kinda like wandering, with no apparent direction or purpose??

"You cannot legislate the poor into freedom by legislating the rich out of freedom. What one person receives without working for, another person must work for without receiving. The government cannot give to anybody anything the government does not first take from somebody else. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them

Hey, everyone! Sorry I have been away so long but I have just been soooo stretched! After Jerry's funeral, around 3-4 days later, Ann went in the hospital for a few days. She is a diabetic and has lymphedema in her legs. She also has some cellulitis. When she was in the hospital right after the funeral, the Dr's. think the infection was MRSA. It got a little better, so they let her go home. She

When Your Sails No Longer Have Wind~

My hubby Gary sent this to me and it is soooo true!He stilled the storm to a whisper; the waves of the sea were hushed. They were glad when it grew calm, and he guided them to their desired haven (Ps 107:29-30). Imagine for a moment you began an exciting sailing adventure. You've been trained to navigate and sail on the ocean and be ready should trouble arise. You are confident you can handle the

Ann is the oldest,

Jerry is still in Intensive Care at Emory in Atlanta, GA and has a blood infection and pneumonia!! And here I am in Tennessee!! Makes me want to scream, but I am sure it bothers my sweet Ann even more cause she isn't allowed out of the house!! So, the words of my Momma came back to me today. She used to say, "I cried because I had no shoes, til I met a man who had no feet!" So, there are always

Hey, in case you missed me, I have been MIA for a few days! Trying to stay in touch with my family in GA and keep up with Ann & Jerry. Jerry had his surgery on Friday, the 9th but has gone downhill since. Friday night he had a reaction to the morphine and just basically went berserk. He knows everybody, but is just talking crazy, pulling out tubes and thinks the nurses and Dr's are trying to kill

Our friends Greg and Sherry lift halfway up a mountain that backs up to Foothills Parkway and they are at a higher elevation, so maybe she saw some snow. I last heard from her about 2:30 AM this morning with a

Last night I said I could only wish for snow....well, it is forecast for tonight and tomorrow!! 3-6 inches!! I would just love to wake up in the morning and see about a foot of snow and yes, I would get out in it. I remember as a pre-teen, living in Illinois, the snow would be so deep that you couldn't see the chain link fences in the back yard! That was then....and this is now. This is
