”When you are broken, God is still shaping you”
I heard this today.
I suspect most of us are broken in one way or another.
I suppose that means He still had new things for us to do.
But take it from me, it’s good to ask Him for His guidance,
Never ask Him for a challenge.
He will laugh at you for years to come!
And His sense of humor can be painful!

Did You Know...
If you don’t have a cork opener, but you did have a bike tire pump...
You can insert the pump needle and pump. The cork will be expelled!
I won’t be doing this thing, but I think it’s better than using a kitchen knife!

A Better World
If you judge someone by the words of someone else:
Remember it is you that will be accountable to your maker.
Loving others unconditionally, even when you are aware of there
downfalls will make your world a better place to live.

Blue Moon
Today is March 31, 2018. It is also the day that Passover is remembered. Tonight there will be a full moon, the second full moon in the months of March. When there are two full moons in one month, the second is called a Blue Moon. There is nothing acutually Blue about it. They say we will not have another Blue Moon until Halloween of 2020. Trivia!

Small Town Boy
I'm a dirt road in the headlights
I'm a mama's boy, I'm a fist fight
Kinda county line, kinda cold beer
Little hat down, little John Deere

Sheriff
The Polk County, Florida sheriff said "You kill a policeman it means no arrest...no Miranda rights...no negotiations...nothing but as many bullets as we can shoot into you...period." said Polk County Florida Sheriff, Grady Judd
An illegal alien, in Polk County, Florida, who got pulled over in a routine traffic stop, ended up "executing" the deputy, who stopped him.
The deputy was shot eight times, including once behind his right ear at close range. Another deputy was wounded and a police dog killed. The murderer was found hiding in a wooded area.
As soon as he took a shot at the SWAT team, officers opened fire on him.
They hit the guy 68 times. Naturally, the liberal media went nuts and asked why they had to shoot the poor, undocumented immigrant 68 times.
Sheriff Grady Judd told the Orlando Sentinel: "Because that's all the ammunition we had."
Now, is that just about the all-time greatest answer or what!
The Coroner also reported that the illegal alien died of natural causes.
When asked by a reporter how that could be, since there were 68 bullet wounds in his body, he simply replied: (BEST QUOTE ever) .. ..
"When you are shot 68 times, you are naturally gonna die."
"Welcome to Florida, Y'all...

QUOTE of THE DAY
"All theory is gray,
but the tree of life springs evergreen."
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
but the tree of life springs evergreen."
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Show Me The Way
Show Me The Way
Styx
Every night I say a prayer
In hopes that there’s a heaven
And every day I’m more confused
As the saints turn into sinners
All the heroes and legends I knew as a child
Have fallen to idols of clay
And I feel this empty place inside
So afraid that I’ve lost my faith
Show me the way, Show me the way
Take me tonight to the river
And wash my illusions away
Please show me the way
And as I slowly drift to sleep,
For a moment dreams are sacred
I close my eyes and know there’s peace
In a world so filled with hatred
That I wake each morning
And turn on the news to find we’ve so far to go
And I keep on hoping for a sing
So afraid that I just won’t know
Show me the way, Show me the way
Bring me tonight to the mountain
And take my confusion away
And show me the way
And if I see your light, should I believe
Tell me how will I know
Show me the way, Show me the way
Take me tonight to the river
And wash my illusions away
Show me the way, Show me the way
Give me the strength and the courage
To believe that I’ll get there someday
And please show me the way
Every night I way a prayer
In the hope that there’s a heaven

2X MORE
You are 2 times more likely
to develop heart disease if you stand
rather than sit most of the day,
according to a study in the
American Journal of Epidemiology.
It's stillness, not standing or sitting,
that significantly
increases cardiovascular risk.
So every 30 minutes,
change your body position or walk.
GUILTY
Not all girls
are made of
sugar, spice,
and everything nice.
Some girls
are also made
of adventure,
dark chocolate,
intelligence,
cuss words,
and courage.
Friday Fun
Oh, My Gosh.....Let me tell you what I did Friday!
I took a half day off and so did my friend Dave.
He had been planning this for months.
We drove north. Not too far.
The weather was nice, not cold.
Along our way, we saw a country house
with dozens of chickens.
Then there was a deer along the edge of the woods.
It was beautiful.
It was a great drive,
I would have been happy with just that.
We were going to Gasthof Amish Village.
(I had been there before with my Kentuckiana Kids,
but only to peek at the antiques.)
As we neared the property, there was a perfect,
very large, dark horse on the hill.
I thought at first that it was a statue.
But then it moved. It was magnificent.
There was also a beautiful Shetland Pony.
I loved it.
Dinner was nice, I loved the blue cheese dressing.
I bought Amish Apple Butter and Maple Syrup.
I looked at all the beautiful quilts;
but most were machine stitched.
The hand-stitched quilts where not nearly as lovely,
the stitching was sadly not lovely,
and they wanted $150+ for them.
No quilt buying today.
As we headed out again,
we passed a darling little country house,
with Batenburgh lace curtains. I loved it.
Then we headed into true Amish country.
There are sections of the roads
that are designated to the Amish.
I saw so many Amish buggies! I loved it!
I saw ALL THIS HAY....do you know
what my first thought was?
I saw so many things; this chair that
folds into an ironing board. (I own one
that folds into a ladder.)
I saw a wooden ironing board that was
so old and simple. I wanted it! It was
so wonderful!!!
I loved this old sewing machine. It even
had the original wooden needle case.
There were SO MANY CHICKENS
There were goats and lambs!
THIS
is
a very
beautiful
WHITE PEACOCK!
There was a beautifully colored
peacock there too!
So Many Chickens!!
And so many different breeds of
rabbits!
AND there where Hedgehogs!
I touched this one. They are so poky!
They sold for $75.00 WOW
A mighty expensive rodent.
There were a pony and a donkey. Cute
This is a VERY LARGE PIG!!
This goat was alone and sweet.
These goats were all in a small pen.
The big white one, with large horns,
was a BULLY. He was not very nice
to his roommates at all.
These are Fainting Goats.
They were tiny and cute.
But they did not faint.
Not even once.
Darling!!!
Potbelly Piggs!!!!!
There were so many little animals
and cages, and eggs for sale. We only
watched this auction. There were at least
3 more I think. All over the buildings.
The man in the back, in the black beany,
is the auctioneer. the man sitting next to
him wrote down everything. The young
men in the black beany and hat showed
all the animals.
The auctioneer was so so funny!
Ducks, quail, and pigeons.
This lady was there to see the sale of
her chickens. She even bid on more
chickens. She sells the eggs for $3 a
dozen. I asked her what was better
about her eggs than what I bought at
the store. She told me all kinds of
information. I really liked her.
This lady was there to buy a goat.
She said she already had two.
I asked her what she did with them.
She said she thinks they are cute and
she just has them to play with.
She bought a baby goat and lamb!!
Dave fed the lamb. I loved it!!!
This boy was so out of place here with
the Amish and the livestock!
Amish Parking!
I can tell you that this was by far the
very best Friday Date Night I have
had in a very long time.
(since June 14, 2013!)
I will go again! I loved it!!!!

There are two very large buildings.
The Amish and not so Amish all parked
and wandered around to see all the things!
