Hello There!

Hi everyone and THANKS so much for the prayers. Gonna ask for a few more too... My friend Diana with thyroid cancer has to go in wed. to see the oncologist to discuss her options after a lung scan.... We will ALL work hard to get her thru this next challenge!
Dan W love your pic! You are like me... don't smile easy for the cam do ya? I'm so camera shy it's ridiculous. I JUST got some childhood pix(my sister was a pro. photo. back in the day and I was her fav. subject! quite a few people have pix of me...some anon. lil blonde gal...in their homes! LOL) But anyway I didn't smile in MOST and in ONE I am peeking from behind a fence...and BEAMING at my sister. Mum had a print of it in a cupboard and I brought it for Bob..He LOVES it! He looks at it and sees ME SMILING like I do at him...but in a picture! WOW! lol... I try to hide from cams.
Been a busy weekend. Crazy at Mums with my sister their dehoarding(she is the hoarder), me trying to do paperwork for mum and NOTHING going right! A radiator froze there and I rigged an anit leak device(a big tin can and copper wire) then set up a heater to work on that till the plumber was able to get there today...LOL.. it was one of THOSE days. Then I realized the brother of David who works for Mum who died...was a yr younger than me and went to highschool where I did and we have mutual friends... THAT killed me... He was born in 1961...and he's gone. SIGH... then I get the email from Diana about her cancer... SO I will be honest and say I simply didn't go online after email last night when I got home..I was just too sad. Had some tears last night...a few more this morning then decided I HAD to get on and let Diana know I'm here for her... and here I am...
Got tons to catch up on..esp on the BnT forum since I hear some BnTs did OK at the winter classic????

HappyHunting everyone!! Heather

John none first one we know for sure was a cat the second one was in some rough country in a rock cliff down in a hole we looked for tracks at the start of the race were they crossed found nothing that we could tell but before the race started there was a lot of strange screaming coming from down that hollow but no knocks on wood so we are pretty sure it was not big foot

Heather prayer's up

I don't know how to do facebook but I was told that there was a video posted on there titled "Richard gets it done" if you can find it. James, I was there but I did not see you. I was having way too much "fun" in the campground Fri afternoon and evening to try to hunt. And we went pleasure hunting Sat night so I did not even comp hunt. We really had a ball all week, however. Albany is one of my favorite places to hunt. It was freezing when I left home Monday but I had to go to the store and get some sunscreen Tuesday. We wore t-shirts all week. I also gained 5 pounds from all of the grilling, smoking, frying and drinking.

Hi There!

Thanks again for all the prayers headed up for my friends! There have been SO MANY in need all over... BUT the prayers we all send each other bring GREATNESS into the world between us.....

BRrrrrrrrrrrrrr! COLD in the house right now! lol... It is in the 20s...I think 29 last check. Snowing. Supposed to be an inch or so then ice...so ALL THE MORONS will be on the roads in their SUVs thinking they can fly along...DUH!

Well, I'm still one tired lil gal. I slept on and off till 2 pm! I did do some chores here and there but a majority was spent basically unconcious. GOOD news, my friend Diana(with the cancer) wants to come to my Mums and help with some of the paperwork organization and some mending! This will be awesome cause my mum LIKES her company(mum can be a bit fussy...she is NOT chatty and doesn't like chattiness although she loves ME and my chatty times...lol) But mum is a very quiet person who likes to be DOING stuff all the time not yacking... So DIana will be great to help and it will be GOOD for Diana. Diana spent many a day with my loving mother during her tuff childhood. Chinese traditional parents...the daughter doesn't get so much attention etc...her Dad has made up for it in his old age and is a WONDERFUL father, grandfather and friend. Her mum was always lovely. But my Mum and Fa too...were important in Dianas life.
Other than that...no news here I can think of. I hope you all have a good evening with none of the yucky weather effecting you all!
Later Gators! Heather

Tax time again

and I am still working on 2012

I just received my tax return for 2012 back from the IRS. It puzzles me!!!
They are questioning how many dependents I claimed.
I guess it was because of my response to the question: "List all dependents?"
I replied: 12 million illegal immigrants; 3 million crack heads;
42 million unemployed people on food stamps, 2 million people in over 243 prisons;
Half of Mexico; and 535 persons in the U.S. House and Senate."
Evidently, this was NOT an acceptable answer. I keep asking myself WHO DID I FORGET?

Daniel's Gloves

I sat, with two friends, in the picture window of a quaint restaurant just off the corner of the town-square. The food and the company were both especially good that day.

As we talked, my attention was drawn outside, across the street. There, walking into town, was a man who appeared to be carrying all his worldly goods on his back. He was carrying, a well-worn sign that read, 'I will work for food.' My heart sank.

I brought him to the attention of my friends and noticed that others around us had stopped eating to focus on him. Heads moved in a mixture of sadness and disbelief.

We continued with our meal, but his image lingered in my mind. We finished our meal and went our separate ways. I had errands to do and quickly set out to accomplish them. I glanced toward the town square, looking somewhat halfheartedly for the strange visitor. I was fearful, knowing that seeing him again would call some response. I drove through town and saw nothing of him. I made some purchases at a store and got back in my car.

Deep within me, the Spirit of God kept speaking to me: 'Don't go back to the office until you've at least driven once more around the square.'

Then with some hesitancy, I headed back into town. As I turned the square's third corner, I saw him. He was standing on the steps of the church, going through his sack.

I stopped and looked; feeling both compelled to speak to him, yet wanting to drive on. The empty parking space on the corner seemed to be a sign from God: an invitation to park. I pulled in, got out and approached the town's newest visitor.

'Looking for the pastor?' I asked.

'Not really,' he replied, 'just resting.'

'Have you eaten today?'

'Oh, I ate something early this morning.'

'Would you like to have lunch with me?'

'Do you have some work I could do for you?'

'No work,' I replied 'I commute here to work from the city, but I would like to take you to lunch.'

'Sure,' he replied with a smile.

As he began to gather his things, I asked some surface questions. Where you headed?'

St. Louis '

'Where you from?'

'Oh, all over;

mostly Florida ..'

'How long you been walking?'

'Fourteen years,' came the reply.

I knew I had met someone unusual. We sat across from each other in the same restaurant I had left earlier. His face was weathered slightly beyond his 38 years. His eyes were dark yet clear, and he spoke with an eloquence and articulation that was startling He removed his jacket to reveal a bright red T-shirt that said, 'Jesus is The Never Ending Story.'

Then Daniel's story began to unfold. He had seen rough times early in life. He'd made some wrong choices and reaped the consequences. Fourteen years earlier, while backpacking across the country, he had stopped on the beach in Daytona... He tried to hire on with some men who were putting up a large tent and some equipment. A concert, he thought.

He was hired, but the tent would not house a concert but revival services, and in those services he saw life more clearly. He gave his life over to God

'Nothing's been the same since,' he said, 'I felt the Lord telling me to keep walking, and so I did, some 14 years now.'

'Ever think of stopping?' I asked.

'Oh, once in a while, when it seems to get the best of me But God has given me this calling. I give out Bibles, That's what's in my sack. I work to buy food and Bibles, and I give them out when His Spirit leads.'

I sat amazed. My homeless friend was not homeless. He was on a mission and lived this way by choice. The question burned inside for a moment and then I asked: 'What's it like?'

'What?'

'To walk into a town carrying all your things on your back and to show your sign?'

'Oh, it was humiliating at first. People would stare and make comments. Once someone tossed a piece of half-eaten bread and made a gesture that certainly didn't make me feel welcome. But then it became humbling to realize that God was using me to touch lives and change people's concepts of other folks like me.'

My concept was changing, too. We finished our dessert and gathered his things. Just outside the door, he paused He turned to me and said, 'Come Ye blessed of my Father and inherit the kingdom I've prepared for you. For when I was hungry you gave me food, when I was thirsty you gave me drink, a stranger and you took me in.'

I felt as if we were on holy ground. 'Could you use another Bible?' I asked.

He said he preferred a certain translation. It traveled well and was not too heavy. It was also his personal favorite.. 'I've read through it 14 times,' he said.

'I'm not sure we've got one of those, but let's stop by our church and see' I was able to find my new friend a Bible that would do well, and he seemed very grateful.

'Where are you headed from here?' I asked.

'Well, I found this little map on the back of this amusement park coupon.'

'Are you hoping to hire on there for a while?'

'No, I just figure I should go there. I figure someone under that star right there needs a Bible, so that's where I'm going next.'

He smiled, and the warmth of his spirit radiated the sincerity of his mission. I drove him back to the town-square where we'd met two hours earlier, and as we drove, it started raining. We parked and unloaded his things.

'Would you sign my autograph book?' he asked... 'I like to keep messages from folks I meet.'

I wrote in his little book that his commitment to his calling had touched my life. I encouraged him to stay strong. And I left him with a verse of scripture from Jeremiah, 'I know the plans I have for you, declared the Lord, 'plans to prosper you and not to harm you; Plans to give you a future and a hope.'

'Thanks, man,' he said. 'I know we just met and we're really just strangers, but I love you.'

'I know,' I said, 'I love you, too.' 'The Lord is good!'

'Yes, He is. How long has it been since someone hugged you?' I asked.

A long time,' he replied

And so on the busy street corner in the drizzling rain, my new friend and I embraced, and I felt deep inside that I had been changed. He put his things on his back, smiled his winning smile and said, 'See you in the New Jerusalem.'

'I'll be there!' was my reply.

He began his journey again. He headed away with his sign dangling from his bedroll and pack of Bibles. He stopped, turned and said, 'When you see something that makes you think of me, will you pray for me?'

'You bet,' I shouted back, 'God bless.'

'God bless.' And that was the last I saw of him.

Late that evening as I left my office, the wind blew strong. The cold front had settled hard upon the town. I bundled up and hurried to my car. As I sat back and reached for the emergency brake, I saw them... a pair of well-worn brown work gloves neatly laid over the length of the handle. I picked them up and thought of my friend and wondered if his hands would stay warm that night without them.

Then I remembered his words: 'If you see something that makes you think of me, will you pray for me?'

Today his gloves lie on my desk in my office.. They help me to see the world and its people in a new way, and they help me remember those two hours with my unique friend and to pray for his ministry. 'See you in the New Jerusalem,' he said. Yes, Daniel, I know I will...

'I shall pass this way but once. Therefore, any good that I can do or any kindness that I can show, let me do it now, for I shall not pass this way again.'
