Don’t despair -
If you’re small -
And your talents few;
Remember,
That the mighty oak;
Was once a nut like you!
-Shari Lewis R.I.P.
Don’t give up;
Spring is coming!
Joyful birds;
Bees a humming!
Grass is green;
Sky is blue;
More sunshine for me and you!

To those of you who have wondered, “WHAT IN THE WORLD HAPPENED TO ‘ANGELIC SONG’???” I’m fine! I’ve been really busy with “real life,” and I’ve started my own business last year!
D I miss my Site Fights friends, but I had to spend less time on the computer. I’ll try to at least blog every once in a while and get my home page changed from St. Patrick’s deco to my safari web set that I made – after THIS St. Patrick’s Day is over with! Still, check out my St. Pat’s pages; they are some of the most fun that I’ve ever put together!
Oh yeah, even though I did work for a friend for a little while updating business web sites, I decided to start my own business as an Independent Creative Memories Consultant! I help others (and myself) preserve their precious memories through photos and journaling, etc. It fun and rewarding! Gotta go!

Ok. I have this very small bump on my right, middle finger. It’s on the joint just above my finger nail. I remembered my mother had had the same thing, a few years ago, and had squeezed it and poked it with a clean, sewing needle. Well her finger got so infected with staff infection that she almost lost it. I didn’t want that to happed to me! So, I’m leaving my “little white-head” on my finger alone.
I was talking with Mom on the phone today, and she informed me that her doctor told her that the little bump in the skin on the joint is fluid from the knuckle that is leaking out of the joint because it is being “eaten” by arthritis! I guess this speeds up my agenda for “things to do later when I’m older”! I’d better learn to quilt, etc., NOW, before I can’t move my hands!!!
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Pulling it together: that’s enough complaining now, even though I just turned 44, and I don’t feel old enough to be crippled yet.
If you’d like to post your arthritic complaints, just reply to this message. We all need to vent now and then.
Have a great week, and God bless you and yours richly in Jesus Christ’s Name. Bye!

Land of the Pilgrims’ pride;
I’m glad they’ll never see.
Babies piled in dumpsters,
Oh, sweet land of liberty;
your house is on the sand.
Our children wander aimlessly
choosing to indulge their lusts,
when God has said abstain
From the teaching of God’s love
and a need to always pray.
We’ve kept God in our temples,
how callous we have grown.
When earth is but His footstool,
and Heaven is His throne.
We’ve voted in a government
that’s rotting at the core,
Appointing Godless Judges;
who throw reason out the door,
Too soft to place a killer
But brave enough to kill a baby
before he leaves the womb
You think that God’s not angry,
that our land’s a moral slum?
How much longer will He wait
before His judgment comes?
How are we to face our God,
from Whom we cannot hide?
What then is left for us to do,
If we who are His children,
will humbly turn and pray;
Then God will hear from Heaven;
and forgive us of our sins,
He’ll heal our sickly land
and those who live within.
But, America the Beautiful,
if you don’t – then you will see,
withdraw His hand from Thee.

I really believe kids have the closest spot next to God’s Heart. Jesus Christ came as a little child. He LOVES to hear their voices. They’re untarnished and untainted by sin. They’re pure, and when they love it’s REAL. Kids are so very, very precious – all kids from every nation of the earth.

To pee or not to pee? THAT is the question!

Hi,
I’ve always wanted to write this observation down, so here it is for posterity.
I remember when my daughter was a new infant. One day, I laid her down in her little, wooden crib by the kitchen window. I had hung, on the window, interesting pictures that I’d drawn for her to look at. Then, I proceeded to walk to the stove and cook dinner for my family.
While I was making dinner, she started fussing. I could see her from the stove, and I knew that she was all right. I was right in the middle of cooking something, and I couldn’t stop at that moment and go comfort her. But, she was fine, so I hurried to finish up what I was making. She, on the other hand, started to cry; she couldn’t see Mommy. My child’s volume kept increasing. I was hurrying, and I could see her and knew she was all right and safe. To her, none of that mattered; I wasn’t in her sight, so I wasn’t there. To her, she was all alone. My child didn’t understand that I was right there – just out of her sight. I was working on something for her daddy and her brother and sister. She didn’t know that or understand it. I was coming just as soon as I could to pick her up and cradle her in my arms.
Sometimes, we wonder where God is. “I can’t see Him. Where is He? He left me all alone! Why would He DO that to me?! FATHER! WHERE ARE YOU???!”
It’s all right! God won’t leave us alone. He has His own eternal plan, and it’s unfolding all around us. At this very moment, something very wonderful is happening! He’s planning wonderful things for your life – right now! Your brothers and sisters need Him to, but the AWESOME thing about God is that He can be everywhere at once! -Unlike me – when I was cooking dinner and my daughter started to cry for me. I had to hurry and finish what I was doing at the moment and go pick up my little girl. Our Heavenly Father is listening to every, single thing we say to Him, and He really does care about us and about how we think and feel. God is there; we just can’t see Him right now. But, if we look around us, we can see Him working in our lives, in other’s lives, even in the miracles of nature that we so very often take for granted.
Stop, look and listen to Him today. Great, awesome things are about to happen and are happening all around us! And, remember, some day we will see Him with these physical eyes.
29“Immediately after the tribulation of those days: The sun will be darkened,
and the moon will not shed its light;
the stars will fall from the sky,
and the celestial powers will be shaken.
30“Then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in the sky, and then all the peoples of the earth will mourn; and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. 31He will send out His angels with a loud trumpet, and they will gather His elect from the four winds, from one end of the sky to the other.”
-Matthew 24:29-31 (Holman Christian Standard Bible)

Take care and God bless you richly in Jesus Christ’s Name.

I got up this morning opened the garage door to let cats out. I left the door up several inches, so they could come and go as they please.
I went back only about five minutes later to see if they went out. Guess what? Kitty (the mama) was playing with a large spider that I promply killed, and Jonesie, my four-month-old kitten, was munching on a large, dried-out, toadstool.
Well, I grabbed the toadstool and threw it away, and went back in to call the vet. I know toadstools are poisonous to us, so I was a bit concerned about the cat.
The vet told me to bring him in, so that they could give him a shot to make him throw up the contents of his stomach. Then, they wanted to keep him for a few hours for observation.
Well, I ran out, before having my morning pot of coffee, and called Jonesie, who promptly (amazing for a cat) came running to me. I picked him up and took him to the vet – loose in the truck without a cat-carrier. My baby cat’s first day to the vet – or in a motorized vehicle – was not what I had hoped it would be for. Jonesie is afraid of cars. The trip wasn’t bad to the vet, though.
Well, in the veternarian’s (I should “Google” the spelling; I won’t.) waiting room, I kept Jonesie in my arms. I man brought a cocker spaniel into the office. Jonesie promptly ran up my shoulder, claws out, and hissed greatly more than once at the dog. I tried to remove him from my shoulder, only to find that his claws were not only in my shirt; they were in my skin, as well. I left Jonesie attached to my shoulder.
Finally, the vet called us back to a room.
Poor little Jonesie cat. First they weighed him – not so bad. He’s only four pounds. But, then, they took his temperature – with a rectal thermometer – for a whole, long minute. Then, after I hugged and petted and reassured him, the vet came in, examined my cat, and told me that he was a “she”. Mmm, now I have two kittens to spay. That is a total of (at the cheapest) $100 at the local animal shelter, as opposed to a total of $16, I believe, if both of our kittens were males. That’s so unfair. (BTW, no wonder there are so many cats running around wild in the world. It’s expensive to spay the females. The people who own the males, on the other hand, don’t have to worry about dealing with a litter of kittens, so they don’t worry often enough about neutering their male cats! Ok, enough of that.) Good thing I like kittens.
Just joking; I’m going to get them spayed. The lady at the animal shelter told me about a good deal if I go and pay in advance at a Pet Smart on Sat. between 10 am and 2 pm. I can get a certificate from “PAWS,” and go back to the animal shelter to have the spaying done. I’ll only have to pay $30 per cat for spaying. I’m going.
Well, my little cat got a nasty shot that made her throw up the contents of her stomach and relaxed her too. While the shot was taking effect, the vet said I could leave and they’d call me to come get her. So, I did.
Later, after the vet’s office called and said to come get Jonesie (we’re not changing her name; she answers to it), I went to pick her up without a cat carrier, of course.
I arrived at the vet’s, and he told me that there was no toadstool in the vomitted contents of Jonesie’s stomach. And, he told me that some toadstools that are bad are good/bad toadstools, because they make the cat a little sick, but they pass out of the cat’s system. Other toadstools are bad/bad toadstools, because they stay in the cat’s system and eventually damage the liver and kidneys. So, now I know about toadstools and cats. Well, more about the toadstools than about the cats. The gal in the vet’s office cheerfully, with a smile on her face, charged me $61 for the day’s visit, and gave me a box of a LOT of kitten information and a small bag of kitten food. I was sure there would be a copy in it of Kittens for Dummies, but there wasn’t. Jonesie was so glad to see me, and we went home.
She crawled all over me, purring and rubbing against me, in the truck. She was SO happy I was taking her home. On the way home, she put her front paws on the steering wheel, she climbed all around the inside of the vehicle, and she sat on first my left shoulder – tale in my face, then on my right shoulder – tale in my face, of course. I never thought I could love a cat so much. *sigh* Oh, of course I’m allergic to her, but not severely enough to make me give her up; I’m stubborn. She’s my cat, and I’m her human.

Mean people suck, BIG TIME.

Sinus infections suck big time. I’m sick and tired of having my head be perpetually stuffed full of thick, green, sticky goo. It hurts; the pain makes me feel hostile. It makes my teeth hurt. It makes my head hurt. It makes my eyeballs feel like they’re going to shoot out across the room and hit somebody upside the head! No amount of chocolate can make this yuck feel better.
