Sad, Gross and just plain ole me

Hello Everyone,

As I sit here eating my dinner (spaghetti, meatballs & garlic cheese bread) I find myself pondering mans inhumanity to man......again. Perhaps I should have been pondering how many calories I'm putting away. Oh, well, I love my food folks. I just saw an article that caught my eye for a moment. I didn't want to read it. The headline was enough for me. It said something along the lines of 'Single mom wins $118 million in the lottery just to be sued by her pastor.' Really? Like I said, I didn't read it because it was so disturbing. I'm sure with her being a single parent, she's probably needed help from the church on an occasion or 30. There's also a part of me that understands why the church is a little upset. However, what kind of a message are they sending to their flock? The Bible is really clear about believers taking their issues to anyone outside the church. The whole situation just hurts my heart. I don't know what city this is happening in and have no other information, but please pray for all those affected by the evil one leading even the leaders astray. Lord help us, In Jesus' name, Amen.

On a lighter note, do you have a guilty pleasure that's kind of gross? Over the past couple of years, I've learned all about YouTube. My goodness, the things you can find on that site. Here are a couple of gross ones that I just can't seem to make my eyes look away, kind of like a bad accident....I'm rubbernecking at home at my television. Okay, so here goes....it started with watching Dr's popping zits and cysts and all kinds of blackheads. I just couldn't look away. Then I located the cleaning of the ears. I realized this was more of a cultural problem and didn't hold my interest for long...but not because of it being cultural. It just wasn't as interesting as say, my next fascination was for Jiggers in certain areas of Africa and South America I think. The pain that these smallest of fleas causes for both the young and the old and everyone in between is not only heart breaking but watching them get better is inspiring. They go through some major pain in order to get rid of them. Finally, the last of the gross ones are the mango worms in dogs in Gambia. It's so sad and far too common. Okay, no more gross stuff

I love listening to Trey Gowdy talk to just about anyone. I enjoy the paranormal stuff sometimes, but I'm not sure how God feels about that, so I keep it to a minimum now. Anyway, enough ranting from me. I just thought I'd share something about me. I know, I'm not a very interesting person. I'm me.
Until we talk again, Be Wise, Be Kind, Be True, Love, Patty In Omaha.

I'm Baaaacccckkkk

Hello Everyone,

Bring out your defibrillators because I'm back. It's been over a year and I guess I didn't think I had anything to give there for a while and it's recently come to my attention that a stagnant life is hardly worth living. So, I've decided to try to live again and this is my way of doing what I can to give back. I hope somebody benefits. I know as I am writing I realize that the person who usually ends up benefiting the most from my writings is me. I usually write what I need to hear. Does anyone else do that? In that way, I'm kind of selfish. 

Okay, since I can't actually chat with any of you (unless you comment), I will try to update you on all the changes in my life and the lack thereof. Like most Christians I am watching the sky and everything else for signs of the coming of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. I truly am surprised we're all still here. I believe it can't be too much longer, but I guess there are still a few things that need to line up so.....we wait. My prayer life kind of sucks. I try to talk to Him every day but I find myself lacking in that area. Please pray for my desire for Him to increase. That's been a lifelong struggle. I'm too self involved I guess, or rather know this about me. 

I'm about to have another grandchild. My son and daughter in law are expecting their first girl in January. She'll have plenty of protection with 3 older brothers right there. I didn't have any brothers growing up so I have no idea what she's in for, but my daughter knows. When her dad remarried, she gained 3 more brothers along with the 3 she already had. Anyway, so yeah, since my daughter and her husband and her 2 daughters moved to Missouri, I rarely get to see them so I'm excited to have a little granddaughter near.

I don't want this first post to be long and too wordy. I just kind of wanted to get my feet wet and see if there is any an interest or not before I dive in. I really want to be more involved with my writings and be more motivated. Let me know if there is anything you'd like me to talk about or if there is something about me that you have questions about. Until next time,

Be Wise, Be Kind, Be True,

I've missed this, 

Patty in Omaha, or rather Blair, but who really cares... :-)
