Thoughts for the day..

Accept the past for what it was.
Acknowledge the present for what it is.
Anticipate the future for what it can be.
-Tracy L. McNair-

Dearest LORD...

Thank you for the little things
That fill my heart with hope.

For thinking of these little things
Sure seems to change the scope...

Budding flowers, seedling trees,
A warm afternoon and a cool summer breeze..

..I sat relaxing...

As I sat relaxing
I decided to talk with the Lord;
I needed to feel His answers-
for He does answer...when we pray.

I thought of you too, my friend;
and told God...how I felt;
I knew He would understand-
although, I am not eloquent.

My Lord takes these heartfelt
feelings-
sometimes, accompanied with tears,
and uses His answers, when needed-
by those for whom my heart pleads for.

If you should feel His gentle hug-
Loving you un-expectedly today,
that may have been His answer-
to that prayer...my heart sent His way!

To Find True Peace & Be Saved You Need To Know This.

John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosover believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. Romans 10:9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.

Pray This Simple Prayer & Believe ! Dear Lord Jesus, I come to You, to confess that I am a sinner. I ask You Jesus to forgive me of all my sins. I believe You died for me. I believe You Rose from the dead. and Jesus I believe You are coming again. I renounce satan, and I proclaim You Jesus as my Lord. Wash me clean, Lord Jesus. Make me new from the inside out. I accept You Jesus as my Lord and Savior. I will do my very best to follow You and to tell others about what You have done for me. I now believe that I have been set free from my sins. I say by Faith ,that I am saved. Thank You Lord Jesus for Saving my soul from hell. And thank You for my Salvation that I have received. My friend if you have said that prayer and meant it with all of your heart. Then let me say, that the Angels in Heaven are rejoicing over you. Hallelujah! And we here at We Praise Him rejoice with them. And we want to welcome you to the Family of God. In Romans 10:10 God's Word says, "FOR WITH THE HEART MAN BELIEVETH UNTO RIGHTEOUSNESS, AND WITH THE MOUTH CONFESSION IS MADE UNTO SALVATION." Let everyone one know what Jesus has done for you. Jesus will walk with you. and will always be by your side. All you have to do is whisper His name. May God Richly Bless You As You Walk With Jesus.

HEALTH QUESTION & ANSWER SESSION!

Q: I've heard that cardiovascular exercise can prolong life; is this true?

A: Your heart is only good for so many beats, and that's it... don't waste them on exercise. Everything wears out eventually. Speeding up your heart will not make you live longer; that's like saying you can extend the life of your car by driving it faster. Want to live longer? Take a nap.

Q: Should I cut down on meat and eat more fruits and vegetables?

A: You must grasp logistical efficiencies. What does a cow eat? Hay and corn. And what are these? Vegetables. So a steak is nothing more than an efficient mechanism of delivering vegetables to your system. Need grain? Eat chicken. Beef is also a good source of field grass (green leafy vegetable). And a pork chop can give you 100% of your recommended daily allowance of vegetable products.

Q: Should I reduce my alcohol intake?

A: No, not at all. Wine is made from fruit. Brandy is distilled wine, that means they take the water out of the fruity bit so you get even more of the goodness that way. Beer is also made out of grain. Bottoms up!

Q: How can I calculate my body / fat ratio?

A: Well, if you have a body and you have fat, your ratio is one to one. If you have two bodies, your ratio is two to one, etc.

Q: What are some of the advantages of participating in a regular exercise program?

A: Can't think of a single one, sorry. My philosophy is: No Pain...Good!

Q: Aren't fried foods bad for you?

A: YOU'RE NOT LISTENING!!!... Foods are fried these days in vegetable oil. In fact, they're permeated in it. How could getting more vegetables be bad for you?

Q: Will sit-ups help prevent me from getting a little soft around the middle?

A: Definitely not! When you exercise a muscle, it gets bigger. You should only be doing sit-ups if you want a bigger stomach.

Q: Is chocolate bad for me?

A: Are you crazy? HELLO . Cocoa beans! Another vegetable!!! It's the best feel-good food around!

Q: Is swimming good for your figure?

A: If swimming is good for your figure, explain whales to me.

Q: Is getting in-shape important for my lifestyle?

A: Hey! 'Round' is a shape!

Well, I hope this has cleared up any misconceptions you may have had about food and diets.

And remember:
"Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways - Cabernet in one hand - chocolate in the other - body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming "WOO HOO, What a Ride"
