Bullying Is Not Okay

I have been hearing so much lately about bullying. It has not acceptable in the past, and it is not accdeptable now. I was bullied in Junior High school, 7th grade. It started by a clique of girls, becoming jealous of me when I started blooming into a woman. Yes, I hate to admit that some girls can be so cruel, but they were. It happened to me at lunch time whenever I went to the restroom. It's like they had a look out just waiting. When I was ready to leave, there they were, intimidating me with cruel words, shoves and tripping. I didn't tell my parents for fear bullies would attack me even more. Of course I wasn't a happy camper. One day I had enough. I was talking to my homeroom friends, and they said, "This won't happen to you again." The bulies came into the bathroom the next day; my homeroom friends, told them that this wasn't going to happen again. The clique of girls left me alone after that. I had so much graditude for my friends. I never told my parents. That's what the bullies want. Daunting their victims, keeping them in constant fear. The school officials can't be everywhere at one time. So the bullies are getting away with it more than they should. I feel that if the student counsel of the schools could start maybe a pilot program against bullying. They could get volunteers and have the school backing them with rules to go by. The consequence for the actions of the bullies would not be forgotten but handled in a way that would stop all bullying in and out of school. In high school you have to do volunteer work before graduation, so the group working to stop bullying in schools could get credits that would be considered volunteer work. It might work. Peers against peers leading the bullies to see the error of their own ways.

LOVE CONQUERS ALL

Dear Lord,

I treasure my relationship with You.

When I first came to You my life was Rocky,
and turbulent.

You gave me the Peace and Grace to go beyond
my earthly woes and trust in you, and your word.

Now, I am one with You; grounded, and
at peace with myself and my direction.
Amen

ANGEL

Today the most precious dog left this world and entered "Doggy Heaven". Her name was ANGEL, a beautiful German Shepard. She belonged to my daughter and her family. Her life on this earth was short; seven years.

Our animals mean so much to us. They become part of our families. Losing a beloved animal is very hard on everyone.

My prayers go out to my daughter and her family. Letting go is hard, but we must remember the good life that Angel had and I praise her presence in my life, always
remembering that Angel gave to all of us, "the gift of love of a dog."
Amen

MY BIRTHDAY TODAY - AUGUST 9, 2011

Today is my birthday... where does the time go. I've accomplished so much in my life, especially raising four beautiful children. I love them all very much. They left the nest and went out into the world with all the principles that I taught them. They love the Lord as much as I do. Thank you Jesus for this beautiful life on this wonderous earth.

I have four children and five step-children... my husband and I blended a family. His children are so nice and I love them all. Life is so good; it just takes a lot of work and dedication to arrives where you want to be.

We have many grandchildren and great-grandchildren. They are all so precious and have wonderful parents.

Always remember our Lord and Savior. Keep him in the mix of life and you can't go wrong. His love for us all will get us through all the hurdles that life has a way of dishing out.

So everyone that reads this have a blessed day, as I will.

OSAMA BIN LADEN

Sunday May 1, 2011 - A DAY TO REMEMBER

The news flashed over the social media with the speed of a rocket. "OSAMA BIN LADEN IS DEAD.

The news of his death brought out so many memories of September 11, 2001. The twin towers were bombed and many people died from the effects of the explosion. Sad were these memories, but justice prevailed against evil.

We have so much to be thankful for in our great country of the United States of America. Our military strives for peace amongst nations. There is a big price to pay for our freedom, with the dedication that our armed forces show us in their everyday battle with the opposition.

America's military in all branches are the true "Heros of our Freedom."
My prayers go out to them and their families.

REMEMBERING THE PAST AND STRIVING FOR A BETTER FUTURE

January 8, 2011 brought about an event in Tucson Arizona that didn't need to happen, but it did. A young man of 22 years old gunned down innocent people. Their lives were wiped out instantly, and the ones that survived are in the hospital. Some in critial condition.

Arizona U.S. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords was targeted and shot in the head. Anyone in the shooter's way was wounded, or killed. A little girl, Christina Greene, 9-years old, was one that took a bullet and was pronounced dead. What a loss! Christina had not lived her life and had so much going for her. WHY? We ask that question. Does life have to be so cruel.

Will never know because the shooter Jared Loughner, a troubled man, was determined to take out Gabrielle Giffords on that day. She survived, but is in the hospital with excellent Doctor's taking care of her.

LIFE IS HARD! My prayers will be for the families of the victims. I pray for their peace and healing of this terrible event that took place in Arizona.

A memorial was held at McKale Center at the University of Arizona January 12th. Our President spoke with many dignitaries taking the podium with kind words; reaching out to the victims and their families. An emotional event with human kindness coming from each speaker.

We need to go forward for a better America. Remembering the past and strive for a better future.
