Spiritual life is not listening to the mumuring s of the world, but to that inner voice.
Sue Sikking

Win as if you are used to it, lose as if you enjoyed it for a change. May God bless you with a winning spirit that simply can't lose.

Life is a continuing story. As children we liked the stories that ended, “and so, they all lived happily ever after.” Isn’t this what we really want to
do: to live happily ever after? After the struggle, after the loss, after the unhappy time? Happy ever after – the perfect ending to the story. But, in our life story there are really no endings. What seems like an ending turns out to be a beginning. It is the conclusion of our one experience; it is the beginning of a new experience. We think some situation will never change, that some person will never change. We want everything, and everyone to remain the same, happily ever after. “Happily
ever after,” does not mean a static state, does not mean that the perfect moment, the perfect love, the perfect experience will somehow be set in time, never to change, to remain always the same forever after. We live in not only happily ever after, but ever after, ever after, ever after...read more

HAPPILY EVER AFTER, EVER AFTER, EVER AFTER

"We have many ever-afters in our lives. We go through many over comings. We would not have it otherwise, if we really think about it, for life is growth and change and we want to grow, to change, to be all that we can be, to fulfill our potential as children of God."

By Martha Smock

My heart is broken. The me I once was, is gone forever. Repair this soul which sorrow destroyed. Renew my spirit, refresh my faith, repurpose the life I
have left. Praise to you; Oh God, Creator, and Recreator.

Psalm 32:11 Be glad in the Lord, and rejoice, all you who are Godly, and shout for joy, all you who are pure of heart!

FROM HIS DESPERATE MOM

Disabled son Jonathan at the Montana Group Home assaulted Staff Police. They hauled him off I don't know where. Normally they take him to the ER for evaluation, but they didn't. He's off his medications, he can't talk well, and has brain damage and trauma! Lord, as you've always answered my prayers please help me find my lost son! Save, heal, and deliver Jon as well! Amen. Blessings on All, his Mom
