COACHES EVERY WHERE...Football is awesome, please remember these words...

Our son's high school coach Chris Andriano once said before a BIG game, "Remember these boys on the other team are our opponents, NOT our enemies. Play fair and have a great game...". They have won the state championship two years in a row.  I admire Chris so much for maintaining that attitude.  Lord please watch over all of our pro players today so they remember to play fair. Please keep both sides from harm and keep their hearts in the right place.  God BLESS the families of these players, and ALL athletes EVERYWHERE; I ask this in Jesus Name. AMEN

ASK NOT WHAT YOUR COUNTRY CAN DO FOR YOU...

...but what YOU can do for YOUR country!!! Have a great weekend!!! Lord watch over all of the people who are so in need, and please give those with good health the courage, strength and wisdom to start helping each other and quit looking to the government to help them. AMEN!!!

If you don't have anything nice to say, DON'T say ANYTHING!!!!!

From time to time in my blog I may refer to, "Honeyisms".  Honey was my grandmother on my mom's side and she was a wealth of knowledge and wisdom. If you don't have anything nice... was one she would use frequently.  It is no wonder that she was so loved by all those who met her.  Why in this crazy upside down world is there so much anger, hatred and jealousy?  I seriously don't get it.  Let's just cheer for others and be happy for them and their accomplishments.  Why are we so quick to criticize? How about when you haven''t seen a friend in 20 years? What do you say when you see them? " WOW, great to see ALL of you.  The LAST time I saw you, you looked great.  Yeah, you weren't fat and bald like you are now." ARE YOU SERIOUS??? A few years ago, I actually ran into someone whom I HAD a lot of respect for at one time, and she said to me, "You sure gained a lot of weight".   Not, "Nice to see you!" or, "How have you been?". If I see someone after 20 years, and they have gained weight or got old, or bald, I would never reference that. (Even if it was true.) What do you say under those circumstances?   If you once were friends, it would be easy to say, "It is GREAT to see you.", or, "How long has it been?". Another thing to say would be, "Remember when we..." and fill in the blanks.  I am sure if you were friends, you have a few fond memories to recollect.  Lord please help us to be happy, and positive in our dealings with others.  Please let us focus on the positive side of people. I ask this in Jesus name.
