I know I talk a lot like a newlywed...'cause I AM!!! Anyway, I have been busy getting ready and tomorrow afternoon after about 4 months of being a newlywed I am going on a real honeymoon cruise with the love of my life. He wanted to be able to pay for it all himself even though I said I'd go half. So in the first week of my Christmas break from school he calls me into the room and says he'd just spoken to a travel agency he was familiar with in New Orleans and that we were going to Cozumel January 4th. YAY! So be in prayer for traveling grace please! It's supposed to storm on our drive to the docks in New Orleans. My husband moved in with me after 20-something years of New Orleans suburb driving--which is way fast and way in and out of this lane and that one. Then we may have some rain in the Gulf and scattered showers in Cozumel. Poor guy He says he wanted to get a tan and I told him he could share mine. Anyway scattered showerws also means scattered sunshine!!! At any rate I will not return until January 8th. I will take plenty of pictures! YSIC, Kathy
This has been floating around for about a year in South Louisiana--since the storm. We have several lawyers in our prison ministry so this one was sent to my honey from one of our lawyer firends---and of course he sent it to another lawyer friend. Subject: A Lawyer to Love! Only in Louisiana - you have to love this lawyer - It's too good not to share ! Everyone who has ever bought a house will enjoy this. A New Orleans lawyer sought an FHA loan for a client who lost his house in Hurricane Katrina and wanted to rebuild. He was told the loan would be granted if he could prove satisfactory title to the parcel of property being offered as collateral. The title to the property dated back to 1803, which took the Lawyer three months to track down. After sending the information to the FHA, he received the following reply: "Upon review of your letter adjoining your client's loan application, we note that the request is supported by an Abstract of Title. While we compliment the able manner in which you have prepared and presented the application, we must point out that you have only cleared title to the proposed collateral property back to 1803. Before final approval can be accorded, it will be necessary to clear the title back to its origin." Annoyed, the lawyer responded as fo llows: "Your letter regarding title in Case No. 189156 has been received. I note that you wish to have title extended further than the 194 years covered by the present application. I was unaware that any educated person in this country, particularly those working in the property area, would not know that Louisiana was purchased, by the U.S. , from France in 1803, the year of origin identified in our application. For the edification of uninformed FHA bureaucrats, the title to the land prior to U.S. ownership was obtained from France , which had acquired it by Right of Conquest from Spain . The land came into the possession of Spain by Right of Discovery made in the year 1492 by a sea captain named Christopher Columbus, who had been granted the privilege of seeking a new route to India by the Spanish monarch, Isabella. The good queen, Isabella, being a pious woman and almost as careful about titles as the FHA, took the precaution of securing the blessing of the Pope before she sold her jewels to finance Columbus ' expedition. Now the Pop e, as I sure you may know, is the emissary of Jesus Christ, the Son of God, and God, it is commonly accepted, created this world. Therefore, I believe it is safe to presume that God also made that part of the world called Louisiana God, therefore, would be the owner of origin and His origins date back to before the beginning of time, the world as we know it AND the FHA. I hope you find God's original claim to be satisfactory. Now, may we

A mouse looked through the crack in the wall to see the farmer and his wife opening a package. "What food might this contain?" The mouse wondered -
he was devastated to discover it was a mousetrap.
Retreating to the farmyard, the mouse proclaimed the warning.
"There is a mousetrap in the house! There is a mousetrap in the house!"
The chicken clucked and scratched, raised her head and said, "Mr. Mouse, I can tell this is a grave concern to you but it is of no consequence to me. I cannot be bothered by it."
The mouse turned to the pig and told him, "There is a mousetrap in the house! There is a mousetrap in the house!"
The pig sympathized, but said, "I am so very sorry, Mr. Mouse, but there is nothing I can do about it but pray. Be assured you are in my prayers."
The mouse turned to the cow and said, "There is a mousetrap in the house! There is a mousetrap in the house!"
The cow said, "Wow, Mr. Mouse. I'm sorry for you, but it's no skin off my nose."
So, the mouse returned to the house, head down and dejected, to face the farmer's mousetrap-- alone.
That very night a sound was heard throughout the house -- like the sound of a mousetrap catching its prey.
The farmer's wife rushed to see what was caught. In the darkness, she did not see it was a venomous snake whose tail the trap had caught. The snake bit the farmer's wife.
The farmer rushed her to the hospital and she returned home with a fever.
Everyone knows you treat a fever with fresh chicken soup, so the farmer took his hatchet to the farmyard for the soup's main ingredient.
But his wife's sickness continued, so friends and neighbors came to sit with her around the clock.
To feed them, the farmer butchered the pig.
The farmer's wife did not get well; she died. So many people came for her funeral, the farmer had the cow slaughtered to provide enough meat for all of them.
The mouse looked upon it all from his crack in the wall with great sadness.
So, the next time you hear someone is facing a problem and think it doesn't concern you, remember -- when one of us is threatened, we are all at risk.
We are all involved in this journey called life.
We must keep an eye out for one another and make an extra effort to encourage one another.
SEND THIS TO EVERYONE WHO HAS EVER HELPED YOU OUT AND LET THEM KNOW HOW
IMPORTANT THEY ARE.
REMEMBER:
EACH OF US IS A VITAL THREAD IN ANOTHER PERSON'S TAPESTRY; OUR LIVES ARE WOVEN TOGETHER FOR A REASON.
One of the best things to hold onto in this world is a friend.
From: Daily Encounter Wednesday, December 27, 2006 1. The Power of Prayer "And now. Lord God, keep forever the promise you have made concerning your servant and his house. Do as you promised, so that your name will be great forever."1 King David believed in prayer as did every man and woman of God in the Bible. Jesus himself practiced prayer and reminded us of its importance. Paul also preached the importance of prayer as does every other follower of Jesus. God wants us to pray without ceasing. Why? Because he wants us to stay connected to him and in so doing have ongoing fellowship with him. He encourages us to seek the wisdom and direction he has promised to those who commit their way and put their trust in him. To get prayer answered we need to pray with right motives, a thankful heart, in faith believing God answers prayer, and with persistence. We also need to pray with the knowledge of God's promises-what he will and won't do. He always wants what is best for us so it is very important to pray in harmony with his will as found in his Word, the Bible. One of the many promises of God that I particularly appreciate is also from David: "The Lord is near to all who call on him, to all who call on him in truth. He fulfills the desires of those who revere him; he hears their cry and saves them. The Lord watches over all who love him."2 Suggested prayer: "Dear God, may the manner of my life, the desires of my heart, and my prayers always be in harmony with your will so you will do as you have promised and grant the desires of my heart. Gratefully in Jesus' name." 1. 2 Samuel 7:25, (NIV).
2. Psalm 145:18-20.

Not In The Cookie Jar
======================
In the MountainWings issue “Sweet Deceit” a reader commented on
your issue about eating correctly between January and Christmas
instead of worrying about what you ate between Christmas and New
Years. By the way, I thought it was a well-meaning, well-
phrased truth and I would like to comment on the comment.
The reader named sugar as the enemy. I believe that the comic
strip character Pogo captured the enemy in prose when he said,
“We have met the enemy, and it is us.”
All I know is that God said that when he saw what He’d created,
He called it “good.” That includes sugar. I do believe that if
anyone lives the lifestyle that the husband adopted after he
became diabetic, his chances of becoming diabetic go down
considerably.
God told the Israelites how to eat to separate them from the
Gentile, wicked world – not because there was something wrong
with the food in and of itself. We need to eat healthy; we need
to exercise, and we need to eat in accordance to what treats our
body the best.
I am in the time of life where eating too much protein causes my
blood pressure to elevate. My father had hypertension. I tried
cutting back on meat protein. That did not change my blood
pressure. I had to give up meat protein altogether. Now I eat
fish or beans. Meat was not my enemy. My age does not allow me
to eat what I used to eat and get the same results.
Some say that sugar elevates the blood pressure. That doesn’t
make sugar my enemy: my enemy is the sin that lies within me
that chooses to eat sugar when I shouldn’t.
Paul says, “For what I want to do I do not do, but what I hate I
do.” (Romans 7:15) He says when he wants to do right, evil is
right there to help him do wrong. The enemy is the sin within
us.
