If I could catch a rainbow
I would do it just for you
and share with you its beauty
On the days you're feeling blue.
If I could build a mountain
You could call your very own;
A place to find serenity,
A place to be alone.
If I could take your troubles
I would toss them in the sea,
But all these things I'm finding
are impossible for me.
I cannot build a mountain
Or catch a rainbow fair,
But let me be what I know best,
A friend who's always there.
Hi every one I just had the most awesome day with my daughter .... We went to Yellowstone to see the bears, then back to Inland park to ride horses .. It was so much fun, So now it off to bed ,I am so tired
Love ya all have a great Sunday

This is so neat. I had never heard this before.
1. Your thumb is nearest you. So begin your prayers by praying for those closest to you. They are the easiest to remember. To pray for our loved ones is, as C. S. Lewis once said, a "sweet duty."
2. The next finger is the pointing finger. Pray for those who teach, instruct and heal. Thi s includes teachers, doctors, and ministers. They need support and wisdom in pointing others in the right direction. Keep them in your prayers.
3. The next finger is the tallest finger. It reminds us of our leaders. Pray for the president, leaders in business and industry, and administrators. These people shape our nation and guide public opinion. They need God's guidance.
4. The fourth finger is our ring finger. Surprising to many is the fact that this is our weakest finger, as any piano teacher will testify. It should remind us to pray for those who are weak, in trouble or in pain. They need your prayers day and night You cannot pray too much for them.
5. And lastly comes our little finger - the smallest finger of all which is where we should place ourselves in relation to God and others. As the Bible says, "The least shall be the greatest among you." Your pinkie should remind you to pray for yourself. By the time you have prayed for the other four groups, your own needs will be put into proper perspective and you will be able to pray for yourself more effectively.
If you decide to send this to a friend, you might brighten someone's day! Pass this on to someone special... I did.
PAUL HARVEY'S ON AIR PRAYER
'Heavenly Father, we come before you today to ask your
forgiveness and to
seek your direction and guidance. We know Your Word says,
'Woe to those who
call evil good,' but that is exactly what we have done.
We have lost our spiritual equilibrium and reversed our
values. We have exploited the poor and called it the
lottery. We have rewarded laziness and called it welfare.
We have killed our unborn and called it choice. We have
shot abortionists and called it justifiable. We have
neglected to discipline our children and
called it building self esteem. We have abused power and
called it politics.
We have coveted our neighbor's possessions and called it
ambition . We have
polluted the air with profanity and pornography and called
it freedom of expression. We have ridiculed the
time-honored values of our forefathers and
called it enlightenment. Search us, Oh God, and know our
hearts today; cleanse us from every sin and Set us free.
Amen!'
Commentator Paul Harvey aired this prayer on his radio
program, 'The Rest of
the Story,' and received a larger response to this program
than any other he
has ever aired. With the Lord's help, may this prayer
sweep over our nation
and wholeheartedly become our desire so that we again can
be called 'One nation under God.'
If possible, please pass this prayer on to your friends.
'If you don't stand
for something, you will fall for everything.'
Think about this: If you forward this prayer to everyone
on your e-mail list, in less than 30 days it would be
heard by the world.
(It's worth a try!)
One Nation Under God

A dog had followed his owner to school. His owner was a
fourth grader at a public elementary school. However,
when the bell rang, the dog sidled inside the building and
made it all the way to the child's classroom before a
teacher noticed and shoo'ed him outside, closing the
door behind him. The dog sat down, whimpered and
stared at the closed doors. Then God appeared beside
the dog, patted his head, and said, "Don't feel bad
fella'.... they won't let ME in either."
Have you heard about this case? Great answer from the judge!
In Florida, an atheist became incensed over the preparation of Easter and Passover holidays.
He decided to contact his lawyer about the discrimination inflicted on atheists by the constant celebrations afforded to Christians and Jews with all their holidays while atheists had no holiday to celebrate.
The case was brought before a wise judge. After listening to the long passionate presentation by the lawyer, the Judge banged his gavel and declared "Case dismissed!"
The lawyer immediately stood and objected to the ruling and said, "Your honor, how can you possibly dismiss this case? The Christians have Christmas, Easter and many other observances. Jews have
Passover, Yom Kippur and Hanukkah...yet my client and all other atheists have no such holiday!"
The judge leaned forward in his chair and simply said, "Obviously your client is too confused to even know about, much less celebrate his own atheists' holiday!"
The lawyer pompously said, "Your Honor, we are unaware of any such holiday for atheists. Just when might that holiday be, your Honor?"
The judge said, "Well it comes every year on exactly the same date---April 1st! Since our calendar sets
April 1st as 'April Fools Day,' consider that Psalm 14:1, Psalm 53 states, 'The fool says in his heart, there is no God.' Thus, in my opinion, if your client says there is no God, then by scripture he is a fool, thus April 1st is his holiday! Get it?"
PRAY THAT SOME DAY OUR COURTS WILL BE FULL OF THIS KIND OF JUDGE......MAYBE THEN, WE CAN PUT GOD BACK WHERE HE BELONGS --- IN EVERYTHING WE DO...
Way to go, Judge!
It Was Only a Quarter
Several years ago, a preacher from out-of-state accepted a call to a church in Houston, Texas.
Some weeks after he arrived, he had an occasion to ride the bus from his home to the downtown area. When he sat down, he discovered that the driver had accidentally given him a quarter too much change. As he considered what to do, he thought to himself, "You'd better give the quarter back.. It would be wrong to keep it." Then he thought, "Oh, forget it, it's only a quarter. Who would worry about this little amount? Anyway, the bus company gets too much fare; they will never miss it. Accept it as a 'gift from God' and keep quiet."
When his stop came, he paused momentarily at the door, then he handed the quarter to the driver and said, "Here, you gave me too much change."
The driver, with a smile, replied, "Aren't you the new preacher in town? I have been thinking a lot lately about going somewhere to worship. I just wanted to see what you would do if I gave you too much change. I'll see you at church on Sunday."
When the preacher stepped off of the bus, he literally grabbed the nearest light pole, held on, and said, "Oh God, I almost sold your Son for a quarter."
Our lives are the only Bible some people will ever read. This is a really scary example of how much people watch us as Christians and will put us to the test!
Always be on guard and remember that you carry the name of Christ on your shoulders when you call yourself 'Christian'.
Watch your thoughts; they become words.
Watch your words; they become actions.
Watch your actions; they become habits.
Watch your habits; they become character.
Watch your character; it becomes your destiny.
I'm glad a friend forwarded this to me as a reminder. God bless you; I hope you are having a wonderful day! If you don't pass this on to anybody, nothing bad will happen; if you do, something good might.
The Will of God will never take you to where the Grace of God will not PROTECT you...
Stay FAITHFUL and Be GRATEFUL
Live life in such a way that those
Who don't know Jesus will come to
Know Jesus because they know you.
Sorry I haven't been on much lately I have company, And I'm getting ready for my up coming Seminar
But I'm thinking about all of you .. LOVE AND MISS YA LOTS CAROL !!!

Recently I overheard a mother and daughter in their last moments together at the airport. They had announced the departure.
Standing near the security gate, they hugged and the mother said, 'I love you and I wish you enough'.
The daughter replied, 'Mom, our life together has been more than enough. Your love is all I ever needed. I wish you enough, too, Mom'.
They kissed and the daughter left. The mother walked over to the window where I was seated. Standing there I could see she wanted and needed to cry. I tried not to intrude on her privacy but she welcomed me in by asking, 'Did you ever say good-bye to someone knowing it would be forever?'.
Yes, I have,' I replied. 'Forgive me for asking,
but why is this a forever good-bye?'.
'I am old and she lives so far away. I have challenges ahead and the reality is - the next trip back will be for my funeral,' she said.
'When you were saying good-bye, I heard you say, 'I wish you enough'. May I ask what that means?'.
She began to smile. 'That's a wish that has been handed down from other generations. My parents used to say it to everyone'. She paused a moment and looked up as if trying to remember it in detail and she smiled even more. 'When we said , 'I wish you enough', we were wanting the other person to have a life filled with just enough good things to sustain them'. Then turning toward me, she shared the following as if she were reciting it from memory.
I wish you enough sun to keep your attitude
bright no matter how gray the day may appear.
I wish you enough rain to appreciate the sun even more.
I wish you enough happiness to keep your spirit alive and everlasting.
I wish you enough pain so that even the smallest of joys in life may appear bigger.
I wish you enough gain to satisfy your wanting.
I wish you enough loss to appreciate all that you possess.
I wish you enough hellos to get you through the final good-bye.
She then began to cry and walked away.
They say it takes a minute to find a special person, an hour to appreciate them, a day to love them but then an entire life to forget them.
* Only if you wish send this to the people you will never forget and remember to send it back to the person who sent it to you. If you don't send it to anyone it may mean that you are in such a hurry that you have forgotten your friends.
TAKE TIME TO LIVE.....
Wishing you all ENOUGH!!
Dear Friends
I will be in Idaho Falls, Id. On June 16th at The New Life Family Worship Center, for a one day seminar on what it means to be 'a rose' in the Masters 'garden'. I haven’t been on line very much in the past weeks because during the course of the day of the Seminar I give out many gifts to the participants. Many of these gifts are hand crafted by my aunt, my mother, and myself. Since there are two seminars in June and one coming up in August, we have been slaving in the basement craft room making gifts. A few more weeks and I think that we can apply at the North Pole!!
The topic that started as a blog on my site has become a full time seminar circuit for me. Teaching others the similarities between ourselves as Christian women and the attributes of the rose.
God has been blessing and refreshing all those who attend the meetings. We have a lot of fun all day long and people say that they are eager to take what they have learned and put it into practice. The point that seems to have the most impact and bring the most comments is that God has carefully chosen us and deliberately placed us in our area of service. All things that we do for the Kingdom of God is blessed and multiplied by Him.
I'm looking forward to meeting everyone in the Idaho Falls area.
In His Service
