Despite being 90 years old and receiving a life-threatening diagnosis, the beautiful
Miss Norma was still full of life. Just days after her husbands passing, she received
a hard diagnose, too. However, Norma decided she doesnt want to see the inside
of any more hospitals, but to see the world, instead.
And so she did. The 90-year-old woman decided to hit the road with her son, daughter-in-law,
and their Poodle, Ringo, in their RV. Im having the time of my life! Im done with doctors,
she said.
The womans positivity; her energetic spirit and enthusiasm have surprised even her doctor.
The Facebook page, Driving Miss Norma, recounts a conversation between them:
We explained to the well-meaning doctor and his student that we live in an RV and that we will be taking her wherever she wants to go. He didnt hesitate to say, RIGHT ON! We asked if he thought us irresponsible for this approach. His reply was telling.
As doctors, he said, we see what treatment looks like everyday. ICU, nursing homes, awful side effects and honestly, there is no guarantee she will survive the initial surgery to remove the mass. You are doing exactly what I would want to do in this situation. Have a fantastic trip!
Thelma and Louise have met their match.
comes the day, as ive considered this point in life, its just time to....
A Polish teenager's stand against an LGBT march in his town has caused him to become a viral sensation, with Christians throughout the world calling the young man a hero for his defiant stand. 15-year-old Jakub Barya stood in the streets of Plock, Poland with a crucifix and would not budge despite being faced by law enforcement personnel.
They'll make us all wear clothing & feel ashamed of ourselves !

This is just a beautifully written piece; and so true.
Take a couple of minutes to read it. You'll be glad you did.
A WINTER FRIEND
AND THEN IT IS WINTER You know time has a way of moving quickly and catching you unaware of the passing years. It seems like yesterday that I was young, just married, and embarking on my new life with my mate. Yet in a way, it seems like eons ago, and I wonder where all those years went.
I know that I lived them all. I have glimpses of how it was back then and of all my hopes and dreams. But, here it is... the winter of my life, and it catches me by surprise... How did I get here so fast? Where did the years go and where did my youth go? I remember well seeing older people through the years and thinking that those "older people" were years away from me and that winter was so far off that I could not fathom it or imagine fully what it would be like.
But, here it is...my friends are retired and getting grey... they move slower and I see an older person in myself now. Some are in better and some worse shape than me... but, I see the great change... Not like the ones that I remember who were young and vibrant...but, like me, their age is beginning to show and we are now those older folks that we used to see and never thought we'd be.
Each day now, I find that just getting a shower is a real target for the day! And taking a nap is not a treat anymore... it's mandatory! Cause if I don't on my own free will... I just fall asleep where I sit!
And so... now I enter this new season of my life unprepared for all the aches and pains and the loss of strength and ability to go and do things that I wish I had done but never did!! But, at least I know, that though the winter has come, and I'm not sure how long it will last... this I know, that when it's over on this earth... it's over. A new adventure will begin!
Yes, I have regrets. There are things I wish I hadn't done... things I should have done, but indeed, there are also many things I'm happy to have done. It's all in a lifetime.
So, if you're not in your winter yet... let me remind you, that it will be here faster than you think. So, whatever you would like to accomplish in your life, please do it quickly! Don't put things off too long!! Life goes by quickly. So, do what you can TODAY, as you can never be sure whether this is your winter or not!
You have no promise that you will see all the seasons of your life... so, LIVE FOR TODAY and say all the things that you want your loved ones to remember.. and hope that they appreciate and love you for all the things that you have done for them in all the years past!!
"Life" is a GIFT to you. The way you live your life is your gift to those who come after. Make it a fantastic one.
Remember: "It is Health that is real Wealth and not pieces of gold and silver."
~Your kids are becoming you......but your grandchildren are perfect! ~Going out is good.. coming home is even better! ~You forget names... but it's OK, because other people forgot they even knew you!!! ~You realize you're never going to be really good at anything.... especially golf. ~The things you used to care to do, you no longer care to do, but you really do care that you don't care to do them anymore.
~You sleep better on a lounge chair with the TV blaring than in bed. It's called "pre-sleep." ~You miss the days when everything worked with just an "ON" and "OFF" switch.. ~You tend to use more 4 letter words ... "what?"..."when?"...??? ~Now that you can afford expensive jewelry, it's not safe to wear it anywhere. ~You notice everything they sell in stores is "sleeveless?!" ~What used to be freckles are now liver spots. ~Everybody whispers. ~You have 3 sizes of clothes in your closet.... 2 of which you will never wear.
~But "Old" is good in some things: Old Songs, Old movies ... and best of all, our dear ...OLD FRIENDS!!
They'll make us all wear clothing & feel ashamed of ourselves !
if you knew the whole truth about that story you might not make light of it....
Respectfully,
It's a Jewish tale...The whole 1st Testement is directly from the Jewish faith. The "New Testement" is the Christian addition to the holy book, in essence about the Christ Jesus.
I'm guessing that most of us are aware of the snake that lured Eve into eating the forbidden fruit, to gain all worldly knowledge, & how she then allured Adam to eat it too. It still happens all-the-time today, everywhere around the world !

this is true evil being endorsed from the pulpit....
totally anti Christian!
Hillsongs Judah Smith Says Jesus is Not Your Judge
"Among discerning Christians, Hillsong is known for dancing naked cowboys, sleazy Christmas cabarets, pedophilia cover-ups, gay worship leaders, sticking up for abortion, and really, really bad theology."
(26) And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. (27) So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. (28) And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth. King James Version
qt." Whoever eats my flesh & drinks my blood, treads me underfoot"... The Christ Jesus.
"Treads me underfoot"...Think about that !

Whoso eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day.
you read scripture like you read the notnews, hear what you want and ignore the truth
LOL !!!
I guess it all depends on which Bible you read, which gospel you choose to quote, & also proves how corrupted the Christian faith has become....With countless diversions of the faith, & countless interpretations of the holy book, which one is true & correct ?...
Anyone can data-mine to make their opinion "right"...And IMO, everyone has the right to their own opinion.
It doesn't make any sense to me to quote passages of the Bible here.
Are you fear mongering ?...

The Trump administration on Tuesday released two lists of items that will be affected by tariffs imposed on around $300 billion in Chinese imports, but the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative (USTR) revealed that "Bibles and other religious literature" will not be among the items affected by the tariffs, Law&Crime reported.
Here's the Book President Trump exempted from his tariff war with China...

LaCorte News - One item that wont be affected by Trumps tariffs on China
As we watch the news, we must remember that God foretold in the Scriptures
what He would do with Israel & that He would NEVER allow them to be totally
annihilated from the face of the earth; He would preserve them throughout history
as a people for His unique purposes. "You shall be My people, And I will be your God"
Jeremiah 30:22King James Version (KJV)

Respectfully,
Israel didn't exist 2000+-years ago...It came into being after the 2nd-World-War in the 20th Century...
The Jewish folk never ever had a home-land, they were a wandering folk, that moved from place-to-place. "We" ( the West ) gave them their claimed land after WW-II. And there's been nothing but WAR ever since in those lands.
These wars are great revenue for the Military Industrial Complex, & they like it that way. Israelies pay dearly to have the most advanced technologies in their defense forces.

Your fences need to be horse-high, pig-tight and bull-strong. Keep skunks and bankers at a distance. Life is simpler when you plow around the stump. A bumble bee is considerably faster than a John Deere tractor. Words that soak into your ears are whispered... not yelled. Meanness don't just happen overnight. Forgive your enemies; it messes up their heads. Do not corner something that you know is meaner than you. It don't take a very big person to carry a grudge. You cannot unsay a cruel word. Every path has a few puddles. When you wallow with pigs, expect to get dirty. The best sermons are lived, not preached. Most of the stuff people worry about, ain't never gonna happen anyway. Don't judge folks by their relatives. Remember that silence is sometimes the best answer. Live a good and honorable life, then when you get older and think back, you'll enjoy it a second time. Don't interfere with something' that ain't bothering you none. Timing has a lot to do with the outcome of a rain dance. If you find yourself in a hole, the first thing to do is stop diggin'. Sometimes you get, and sometimes you get got. The biggest troublemaker you'll probably ever have to deal with, watches you from the mirror every morning'. Always drink upstream from the herd. Good judgment comes from experience, and a lotta that comes from bad judgment. Lettin' the cat outta the bag is a whole lot easier than puttin' it back in. If you get to thinking' you're a person of some influence, try ordering' somebody else's dog around. Live simply, love generously, care deeply, speak kindly, and enjoy the ride. Don't pick a fight with an old man. If he is too old to fight, he'll just shoot you!
