RETURNING VETS

Many return with disabilities never before even imagined. Many return with PTS syndrome, a high-toned label for high-toned life adjustment problems.  Many return with little appreciation from those of us who never left our homes. Many return to see more NO HELP WANTED signs than needed to see. Many return to not see old friends who gave their lives for us. Many return to find family relationships torn , if not broken, by times of absence. ALL RETURN with tough questions about the life in their future. Thankfully, returning vets, there is one who has well traveled your road, felt the angst of wars, understands your needs and whoi does not need an appointment or charge a fee.. RETURNING VETS, talk with the Lord.

HE'S HERE FOR YOUR LIFE'S RAIN

Not drizzle or gently falling rain.  This rain his hard, often when least expected.   Could be friends fail to carry through their  promises, family issues are over your head, medical tests confirm  or deny, downsize at any age, college grades disappoinr,Will let you  keep string going. Don't know who invented the umbrella. But, I do know  it is not a question of if,  blos hen, life's rain comes into your life. I also know one with just the right umbrella.  Talk with the Lord...HE'S HERE FOR YOUR LIFE'S RAIN.

HE'S YOUR SUPER HERO

BSeen doin a Rip Van Winkle our just been under a rock lately? Rest of us beein seein a lot about "The Avengers".  Those legendary super heroes comin back strong. To me, the popularity is a huge cry to feel super strength high above us mere mortals. Why, you say? With life's globality and increasing complexity joined by an expanding knowledge base..we like to see ones who can do amazing stuff,,if even on a green screen. Sure, problems these super heroes solve, by writer design, exceed  normal reality.But normal reality does hit US. mere mortals. Not talking reality tv here, just daily life's questions needing super hero answers.. Don't think Clark Kent's other self is my answer. Gotta do better, gottta talk with the lord,,for HE'S YOUR SUPER HERO.

HE AIN'T AUTOMATED

It's about 4 pm, do I know this daily call?  Yep. it's an automated call telling me tp place my machine in fax mode to get an important message. Can set my watch by this daily call.  If that were the only one, but no such luck,. Try this...bed bugs biting ya bud, call A Pest Service now. Don't let your cracked windshield open yourself to a biggie fine-that ain't fine.  Roof leekin, gettin soaked spouse mad, get glad, get us..Roofs R Us.Obviously, these are problems to be fixed. but not by a machine  telling YOU to call them   Me, I prefer to do my own homework. Boy. that is what I like about the Lord,  You can call Him 24-7-365. Try a helpful talk with the Lord..you know HE AIN'T AUTOMATED.

DON'T BE SELF-LESS

VSL has a very special  married lady friend whose tears the other day you could almost feel coming from the phone.  Her "loving" spouse repeatedly told her she was nothing without him. This despite her having a responsible Federal government position. She possibly could have moved higher, but raising two children got in the way..fortunately! Although spouse did not use bodily action, his words cut deeply..often with the same mantra.Laws to date do not allow for punishing verbal abuse. Result..many like VSL's lady(a real lady too)are left to tearful calls to family and friends. Further result.. a feeling of being self-less. Tis the opposite of spouse and his selfish behavior. I have no cure-all to suggest for self-less.  Give talk with the lord a try..DON'T BE SELF-LESS

HE'S GOOD WITH WHIMSEY

To me, whimsey seems to be where you allow yourself to engage in tripping, at times, over the light-hearted fancies of just everyday living. It's free, does not cost a dime, and makes time more enjoyable. Don't get me wrong, when your boss asks for the final bid figures, don't say it's about---, boss, there just numbers. Or when a surgeon asked for a particular tool in an operation say, here are 3, take your choice. To add this to your daily fun,start out by poking fun at yourself..with me,an easy-go. A little slice of daily wry bread works wonders. When I try this with the Lord, He gets into it with me and both have a hearty laugh. When you talk with the Lord, remember HE'S GOOD WITH WHIMSEY.
