My Little Bit of Heaven
  
Most of you are going through the same or similar trials and tribulations as I am though your stories may be a little different we are all still in the same boat. My prayer is that my little bit of heaven will make your little bit of heaven just a little bit better. May the Lord richly bless you all, cheers.

Is This What The World Is Coming To Sep 4, 2008 11:51 pm
198 Views
I looked around the restaurant. There were five tables, counting mine, within sight. At every table (my table was the exception), there was at least one person on a cell phone. I thought as I surveyed the scene, "Is this what we've come to? Permanently tethered to an invisible electronic line? Are we so caught up that we can't even eat without being involved withsome electronic device?" What a shame. What have we succumbed to? Are we becoming like the Star Trek Borg creatures? Creatures who cannot exist without being electronically tied into the collective? I was so disturbed by the thought that I just refused to witness it further. Someone has to take a stand! So I closed up my notebook computer and walked out.

The Weirdest "Drive Thrus" Sep 4, 2008 7:00 pm

Is there anything you cannot do from your car these days? Maybe you'll get the answer after reading this blog:

Drive in Churches: At the Daytona Drive in Church, in Florida, Christians don't even have to
get out of the car. Reverend Larry G. Deitch delivers a sermon from a balcony to the church goers at the parking lot. This drive-in Christian Church is a converted drive-in movie theatre inDaytona Beach. The minister delivers his message from a high balcony just below where the movie screen once hung. According to National Catholic Reporter, the congregation attracts an average of 700 people every week. To hear the service, worshipers must tune to 88.5 FM. At the end of each sermon, Reverend Deitch "makes it a point to say goodbye personally to all the church goers". However, this drive-thru service is not the only one in the world. The Reverend Erling H. Wold opened the early morning drive-in services of
Emmanuel Lutheran Church in North Hollywood, June 1965.

The prayer booth: A few years ago the "Main Place Christian Fellowship, an evangelical church
located in Tustin outside Los Angeles, converted a former photo booth in a nearby parking lot into a drive-thru prayer booth". "Any driver in need of a prayer can drive through and remain in his car while a pastor on duty prays for him through a window. In addition to free prayers, the booth also gives away free Bibles, bottled water and sometimes flowers".

Drive-thru weddings: "For the couple that wants to have some fun and tell their friends they got
married at a "Drive Thru" Wedding Window in Las Vegas".

Drive-thru strip club: In Alexandria, Pennsylvania, Climax "gentlemen's club" claimed to be the first, and apparently the only, drive-through strip club in the world. Patrons pulled up next to a tiny window so the drivers could watch through it at $5 per minute.

Drive-in Funeral: For some time, Junior Funeral Home in Pensacola (Florida) offered 'an
optional drive thru viewing window'. The body was displayed close to the window so relatives could give their last goodbye from the car. The
Pensacola drive-thru Funeral home was finally closed, but there's another one in Chicago.

I Refuse To Be Discouraged Sep 4, 2008 2:33 pm

I refuse to be discouraged, To be sad, or to cry;
I refuse to be downhearted, And here's the reason why...

I have a God who's mighty, Who's sovereign and supreme; I have a God who loves me, and I am on His team.

He is all wise and powerful, Jesus is His name;
Though everything is changeable, my God remains the same.

My God knows all that's happening; beginning to the end, His presence is my comfort, He is my dearest friend.

When sickness comes to weaken me, to bring my head down low, I call upon my mighty God; Into His arms I go.

When circumstances threaten to rob me from my peace; He draws me close unto His breast, Where all my strivings cease.

And when my heart melts within me, and weakness takes control; He gathers me into His arms, He soothes my heart and soul.

The great "I AM" is with me, my life is in His hand, The "Son of the Lord" is my hope, it's in His strength I stand.

I refuse to be defeated, my eyes are on my God;
He has promised to be with me, as through this life I trod.

I'm looking past all my circumstances, o Heaven's throne above; My prayers have reached the heart of God, I'm resting in His love.

I give God thanks in everything, my eyes are on His face; The battle's His, the victory is mine; He'll help me win the race.

Help Dealing with Telemarketer Sep 4, 2008 5:44 am

When they ask "How are you today?" Tell them! "I'm so glad you asked because no one these days seems to care, and I have all these
problems; my arthritis is acting up, my eyelashes are sore, my dog just died...."

If they say they're John doe from XYZ Company, ask them to spell their name. Then ask them to spell the company name. Then ask them where it is located. Continue asking them personal questions or questions about their company for as long as necessary.

Cry out in surprise, "Judy! Is that you? Oh my gosh! Judy, how have you been?" Hopefully, this will give Judy a few brief moments of pause as she tries to figure out where the hell she could know you from.

If MCI calls trying to get you to sign up for the Family and Friends Plan, reply, in as SINISTER a voice as you can, "I don't have
any friends, would you be my friend?"

If they want to loan you money, tell them you just filed for bankruptcy and you could sure use some money.

Tell the telemarketer you are on "home incarceration" and ask if they could bring you a case of beer and some chips.

After the telemarketer gives their spiel, ask him/her to marry you. When they get all flustered, tell them that you could not just
give your credit card number to a complete stranger.

Tell the telemarketer you are busy at the moment and ask them if they will give you their HOME phone number so you can call them back. When the telemarketer explains that they cannot give out their HOME number, you say "I guess you don't want anyone bothering you at home, right?" The telemarketer will agree and you say, "Now you know how I feel! " Say goodbye and hang up.

Insist that the caller is really your buddy Leon, playing a joke. "Come on Leon, cut it out! Seriously, Leon, how's your momma?"

Tell them to talk VERY SLOWLY because you want to write EVERY WORD down.
