Good frosty Tuesday morning!
Well, these are the last few moments of the internet that I have until Honey Bear is able to get out of the truck again. We we told he was leaving Monday night, then early this morning....so, seeing as he cant leave yet, I am grabbing a few to come post.
I will get to the rest of my emails and updates when he returns. This time, I cant go with him, so I have to stay back at the motel. But I am asking for prayers for/over him - where two or more are in agreement, so is God (Jesus) here - but bossman is being a real stinker. I mean, big time, out of control, absolutely no cause on our part - zippo cause, we can honestly say, we have done NOTHING wrong or to deserve the treatment he is giving Honey Bear. So, Honey has to get into a truck with some they (as bossman said, who have no names), still hasnt gotten paid for 20 days because bossman is litterally holding his pay hostage, and the list goes on, causing us more grief daily. So, prayers for him - his peace of heart and mind, direction, open doors to an honest and good job while he is out there, safety and security, that the only things he hears are Gods words of truth and Gods light shining in him. I would greatly appreciate your prayers covering him.
Thank you in advance!

Retrain Your Mind
I love the inspirations Joel & Victoria Olsteen send out:
TODAY'S SCRIPTURE
"Do not be conformed to this world (this age), [fashioned after and adapted to its external, superficial customs], but be transformed (changed) by the [entire] renewal of your mind…"(Romans 12:2, AMP)
Many people today don't realize that the reason they're not happy, the reason they're not enjoying life is simply because they've trained their minds in the wrong direction. They've trained their mind to worry. They've trained their mind to complain. They've trained their mind to see the negative. But just as we can form these negative mindsets, we can retrain our minds and form positive mindsets.
One of the main keys to developing a positive attitude is to learn how to stay grateful. When you stay grateful, you are focusing on what's right rather than what's wrong. This doesn't happen automatically, you have to discipline yourself to focus on the positive. You have to make a conscious effort every single day until a good habit is formed.
Remember, when you live with an attitude of praise and thanksgiving, you are shielding yourself from the attacks of the enemy. The seeds of discouragement cannot take root in a grateful heart. Neither can bitterness, envy, or strife. When you have a grateful heart, you are strong. You are empowered, and you can confidently enjoy the good life He has prearranged for you!
"Father in heaven, today I surrender my thoughts and mind to You. Help me retrain my thoughts so that they are in line with Your will for my life. I choose to have a positive attitude of faith and expectancy and thank You for empowering me to enjoy the good life You have for me. In Jesus' Name. Amen."

A Generation of Sociopaths
I have been a staunch advocate AGAINST this freakin ME generation since it affected my life - it is THE most selfish desires, selfish wants, self seeking, self gratification, self satisfying and self deteriation - it is in itself, self destruction - but those involved cannot see it when they see their lives as blessed, they found the secrets, they are having...FUN...
The ME generation are kids who grew up with no direction, no rules, no supervision, no parental love and connection. It is the generation where it is easier to give up on a kid, ignore it, scold it, destroy it, etc...then it is to SHOW them what values and morals are all about. It wasnt about beating the snot out of them, it wasnt about runaways, it wasnt about all of that.....two family incomes, single parenting (done wrong), it was about having kids, but not RAISING CHILDREN.
I know what its like to be a single parent, WORKING....I did it all too. No money, no security, no ability, work-work-work....etc. I was there too. It has NOTHING to do with whether you lived in the projects or well off, it has to do with your choice on morals, character, rules....rebellion.
No one needed to turn to this ME generation, NO ONE. It is/was created by the lack of parenting.....and I really dont care if I get any flack on this one, its true. I was there, I was right there...and my son grew up to be a man! He grew up with morals, convictions, the knowledge of right from wrong, he grew up with unconditional love, direction, guidance..HE GREW UP.
So, with that said, here is an interesting article I think is a great read regarding this very subject:
A Generation of Sociopaths
Glenn Beck gets it. He understands something I’ve been seeing and writing about as a columnist for the last seven years. He understands that the downfall of America will not come from the outside. It will come from the inside. It will happen because we failed to pass on to our children the values that made our nation great – and to remind them to pass those values on to their children. You can read the rest here
Some great points of truth here are:
"me generation." … A generation that was brought up by parents who wouldn't spank them because it was too barbaric and were graded in purple pen because red is too frightening. A generation who got trophies no matter what place they finished.
When we replace belief in objective truth with moral relativism we are telling people they are the one true source of morality. And that leads them to believe they are all, in a sense, little gods and goddesses who should not be told what to do. Pretty soon we are spending all of our time dealing with little sociopaths who believe they are the center of the universe

Population Control in an Aging Society
Most would agree that conserving resources and minimizing adverse impacts on the environment make sense, but something has gone terribly awry within the Green Movement. Environmental extremists championing "population control" as a means of protecting Mother Earth show that they have little regard for the human species.
Some recent comments by prominent Green advocates suggest that one of the simplest and most effective ways to reduce the global carbon footprint is to reduce the population. As means to that end, they advocate aggressive birth control and abortion. Their argument is simple enough: fewer people put less strain on natural resources, use less energy, and generate less pollution. Wealthy countries, so the thinking goes, are particularly suited to implement this strategy because they have ready access to birth control and legalized abortion
The "Extreme Green" are perfectly comfortable with encouraging members of the human species to destroy their young, but mortified that human beings would disturb an eagle's nest or a turtle's egg. Setting aside this moral confusion, there are significant social and economic implications of population control policies on societies already struggling to cope with a rapidly aging population

Update...
Good Sunday morning!
It is another incredible day outside, a day to just thank God for all of His blessings - big AND small.
Things have really gotten Honey Bear and I down this past week - what was suppose to be a nice vacation week, was ruined by someone elses actions that are completely unfair, uncalled for and just outright not right. But God says do nothing, stay in the good and right and He will take care of everything. He proved His word yet once more, at just the right moment - so, I am choosing to just trust Him with this terribly unfair, not right situation....and put my hopes in Him for His blessings.
Anyway, did you enjoy your Halloween? This was the first time in years Honey Bear decided to celebrate - he had bought me a figurine that's so cute a few weeks ago and we enjoyed scary and funny movies, and slept in alot...He is the absolute BEST!
I will probably only have the pc until Monday, so I made sure to update the blog roll for ya, cleaned up old, outdated posts here and will add more recipes for you to make up for any time lost.
Enjoy your Sunday!
