How to use the Bible

I came across this the other day while looking through some old papers of my Grandpas. I read one of them last night and it was really helpful.

How to Use the Bible

When In Sorrow
Read John 14

When men fail you
Read Psalm 27
When you have sinned
Read Psalm 51
When you worry
Read Matthew 6:19-34
When you are in danger
Read Psalm 91
If you have the blues
Read Psalm 34
When God seems far away
Read Psalm 139
If you are discouraged
Read Isaiah 40
If you are lonely or fearful
Read Psalm 23
If you feel down and out
Read Romans 8:39
When you want courage for your task
Read Joshua1
When the world seems bigger than God
Read Psalm 90
When you want rest and peace
Read Matthew 11:25-30
When leaving home for labor or travel
Psalm 121:107:23-31
If you get bitter or critical
Read 1st Corinthians 13
If thinking of invesments and returns
Read Mark 10:17-31


I just thought this might help someone today. I love finding treasures in my Grandpas papers. I am going to take a blogging break this week. I have got several things that I need to get done and some stuff on my mind that I need to think about.

A prayer request:
Please pray for my sister Julie because her last couple of months of pregnancy are getting tougher. Please pray that she can find some comfort and that she will have a safe and healthy delivery when her time comes.

Many prayers and Blessings

Goodbye for now.

I am very sad to say that I will not be blogging for a while. I have had some events in my life that I feel needs more attention than this. I am sure that most of you who read this know that I have a step-son.

In my heart, he is my son. He is not only my son, he is part of my life. I love him like crazy and I am very sad to say right now that he is not in the best spriritual shape. He has had some events in his life that has caused this unbeknowenst to my husband and I. He is now possibly coming to live with us and most of my extra time will now be spent with him.

Iam sure that most of you can understand the importance of this. I will however be back some day. (maybe) I also need to rethink my reason for blogging and re direct my life. I will probably still be visiting other blogs and commenting some, but not near as often. I will let you all know if and when I come back.

Please pray for my family and for myself in this time. Thank you all for your support and your comments. I have made some very dear friends on here and would like to keep up the friendships. Just not on my blog.

Love and Prayers

Blogging Break

I am home from our trip. It was interesting. and fun. We went to the gospel meeting and to the fall festival taht they have at the state park there. We always enjoy ourselves there. It was tiring this year though so we are recuperating. We brought our girls home and today, we are resting. I will be unpacking, putting up, laundry, adn grocery shopping this week. Then next week, we will be preparing for Thanksgiving. I still dont know if we are going to go out or stay home. The decision is never made until like the week or (day ) before. It gets irritating sometimes to not have our minds made up until then. I would much rather just stay home but since we always have thanksgiving with Pauls family, they get to decide.

I like tradition. I personally think that we should either decide to go out or stay home every year and if we are going to go out then go out every year. or if we are going to stay home then stay home. But I dont know.....I will do whatever they want because its called being nice.

I am glad to have my babies home. I didnt get all that I wanted accomplished last week but that is okay. I will get it done, in good (Gods ) time.

I am also going to take a break this week from blogging. I am going to spend time with my (monsters) and enjoy having them back.. We have lots of stuff planned.

I didnt get any pictures this weekend. I was having too much fun to worry about carrying aroung the camera.

So I will be back sometime next week Until then. I hope everyone enjoys the holidays and I will be praying for you.

Love and Prayers
