Mute No More

My son-in-law gave me a beautiful pillow today. It said

MUTE NO MORE

HEAR ME ROAR

I loved it. It gave me a good silent chuckle. LOL! I thought it was a great play on words. Who says you can't have humor in your plight? I do. Hear me roar!

I Romanced the Stone by Marvin Wilson

A friend told me about this book and I purchased it for my daughter. I just believe this book is going to bring some changes in her life. She had a drug problem for nearly two years, but she's been clean for almost eight years. She still hasn't forgiven herself. So, I am reading it now before handing it on to her.

Here's My Take

It is an election year and I can't get online without seeing something negative about the candidates. Truth be told, they both have weaknesses and strengths. They are both incomplete packages, but McCain is much closer to complete with Palin than Obama is with Biden, though Biden is a wonderful man. I've met him and he's great.

Now, when it comes to politics, I'd love to see us learn to require total honesty from our candidates. We need to stand against this lying spirit and make them be honest or forfeit our votes.

Family Gives Great Comfort

Let the love of your family comfort you. I have a friend who couldn't have children. Now in her old age, she's alone. Her husband has been dead for nearly 12 years. She has no children or grandchildren to check on her and see to her needs.

I often send my children by her home to make sure she's okay. When I can get out, I go by there since she's only a few houses down. My husband don't let me out of the house much because I'm mute. He tries to go everywhere with me. But, his over-protective attitude brings me comfort. I know he loves and supports me. For that, I'm grateful to God.
