Recently I got a short pay check. Too short for me to pay my rent on my time. I always pay on the 15th or there about when it's not due till the last day of the month.
Just a habit I've picked up as a cushion. Well. It didn't work this time around, so I'll be eating bread and cheese for a while till I get things back on track.
I prayed. "There is always more than enough, I know this is true, as it has always been true. The Father will not give a stone to a child who asks bread."
Next day, there it was. A check from some Government agency I've never heard of for 410$ andsome change.
And I can pay the rent on my time once again. :)
Coincidence? I don't think so!
Create well this day my friends.
John.

AARP on the move
Wow! I got a letter form AARP today asking me to join up.
Geez, I'm only 49 years old! They want me half in the grave already.
What they think life ends at 50? My Dad is 70 something I think, and still going strong.
While I'm ready to leave this world, and at times more than ready to do so. It's not due to my age.
I'll go when I'm damned good and ready!
Silly people! I'm going to live forever. This is God's word to me. Now where I choose to live...that is up to me.
Be well all,
Create as if there is no tomorrow, because there's not one.

How strange this life is
Today I've been reading blogs from my family and friends and am seeing a theam going on.
Prayer. What does it do? What does it accomplish? Why bother with it?
These are my thoughts on the matter.
Prayer is not the speaking of the words "Thank you father for this food" is not a prayer unless you actually mean it. Prayer is a feeling, a purpose, a commune with God. A time of talking with God within and without. For he is in our inside lives as well as our outside lives.
The Bible tells us to pray constantly and what better way to spend a life than to do just that?
I of course don't, or I'd most likely have moved on from this place before.
So...I give it a shot now and again. But I'm lazy and the Father is patience.
What to say? In your mind, see things as you would have them be for Yourself! Doing so for others is a chancy thing as they are praying also and you don't know for what.
No matter what they say out loud you won't know their heart. That's God's job. And people lie. Even to themselves.
Life is a prayer. How we live is how we pray. Seems a lot of folks don't believe that. Yet how else would God be always in our lives, in our heads and with us always?
When it's all done and done and your at your lowest. Is that not when God steps up and takes care of things?
He has for me at least.
And so often it's not an external thing that changes. It's inside me, the way I see something, the way I do something, the way I think of something. Behold! There is God.
Again and again. And I have to wonder if the worries of the world come to me or do I attract them to me.
If I can do that, I can be rid of them as easily.
God created us to be creators. Don't settle for being small. Be large! Truly live as if there's no tomorrow.
Heck from what folks tell me the world will end in 2012. According to the Aztec calendar.
Personally I wonder if the Aztecs just figured that they had done enough and let future generations do their own math.
Be well all and know you are loved.
Create a great day.
