• Friday, October 10, 2008 - Selling Used Books

Posted By CandyFoote in My Other Sites

Boy, do I ever need some help.

We are moving to Alaska.  That's the good news.

My New York home is overrun with books.  That's the problem.

I have decided to list them on my website http://candyfoote.com/ 

That could take me a while!!!

Well, I have managed to put a few of them on it.

It seems to take quite a bit of time.

I have included shipping and handling in the listed prices.  Not one item is more than $5.00.

Please, please, please check it out!

If you don't see something you are interested in, then check back another day.

It will take me quite awhile to list all of these books.

I really can't take all of these books to Alaska with me.

Thanks,

Candy

• Fri 10 Oct 2008 - Todays Great Quote......George Müller

Posted By GrandmaRosie in CLASSIC QUOTES

God delights to increase the faith of his children. We ought,
instead of wanting no trials before victory, no exercise for
patience, to be willing to take them from God's hands as a
means. Trials, obstacles, difficulties, and sometimes defeats,
are the very food of faith.

• Thu 9 Oct 2008 - Hubby Found a Job

Posted By GrandmaRosie in ROSIES RAMBLINGS
It has been very hard on us the past 2 months. DH lost he job of almost 20 years. He is not a young man and  a job has been hard to find.  He has one starting Monday. The pay is not much, no insurance to speak of, it is hundreds of miles from home ( I miss him already!) But it is a job. It will do until God sends something better!

• Wed 8 Oct 2008 - THE NAME ABOVE ALL NAMES

Posted By GrandmaRosie

 

This came in my inbox. Thought I would share it. HUGS!

 

THE NAME ABOVE ALL NAMES

 
He is the First and Last, the Beginning and the End!
He is the keeper of Creation and the Creator of all!
He is the Architect of the universe and
The Manager of all times.
 
He always was, He always is, and He always will be...
Unmoved, Unchanged, Undefeated, and never Undone!
He was bruised and brought healing!
He was pierced and eased pain!
 
He was persecuted and brought freedom!
He was dead and brought life!
He is risen and brings power!
He reigns and brings Peace!
 
The world can't understand him,
The armies can't defeat Him,
The schools can't explain Him, and
The leaders can't ignore Him.
 
Herod couldn't kill Him,
The Pharisees couldn't confuse Him, and
The people couldn't hold Him!
Nero couldn't crush Him,
 
Hitler couldn't silence Him,
The New Age can't replace Him, and
Donahue can't explain Him away!
He is light, love, longevity, and Lord.
 
He is goodness, Kindness, Gentleness, and God.
He is Holy, Righteous, mighty, powerful, and pure.
His ways are right,
His word is eternal,
 
His will is unchanging, and
His mind is on me.
He is my Redeemer,
He is my Savior,
 
He is my guide, and
He is my peace!
He is my Joy,
He is my comfort,
 
He is my Lord, and
He rules my life!
I serve Him because His bond is love,
His burden is light, and
 
His goal for me is abundant life.
I follow Him because He is the wisdom of the wise,
The power of the powerful,
The ancient of days, the ruler of rulers,
 
The leader of leaders, the overseer of the overcomers, and
The sovereign Lord of all that was and is and is to come.
And if that seems impressive to you, try this for size.
His goal is a relationship with ME!
 
He will never leave me,
Never forsake me,
Never mislead me,
Never forget me,
 
Never overlook me, and
Never cancel my appointment in His appointment book!
When I fall, He lifts me up!
When I fail, He forgives!
 
When I am weak, He is strong!
When I am lost, He is the way!
When I am afraid, He is my courage!
When I stumble, He steadies me!
 
When I am hurt, He heals me!
When I am broken, He mends me!
When I am blind, He leads me!
When I am hungry, He feeds me!
 
When I face trials, He is with me!
When I face persecution, He shields me!
When I face problems, He comforts me!
When I face loss, He provides for me!
 
When I face Death, He carries me Home!
He is everything for everybody, everywhere,
Every time, and every way.
He is God, He is faithful.
 
I am His, and He is mine!
My Father in heaven can whip the father of this world.
So, if you're wondering why I feel so secure, understand this...
He said it and that settles it.
 
God is in control, I am on His side, and
That means all is well with my soul.
Everyday is a blessing for GOD Is!

• Wednesday, October 8, 2008 - Still Working on Those Goals

Posted By CandyFoote in Home Management

It sure is a good thing that I have an entire week to work on this goals list! 

Olivia, Heather, and I have been steadily working on the laundry.  "Mount Never Rest" as some people call it.

No organization of the clean clothes other than tossing into dressers, well, so far anyway.

Still have tons of school paper work waiting for me.

I have been working right along on the general all around house clean-up, though.

I have done quite a bit on my website http://candyfoote.com/

Well, you can see that I have NOT been disciplined enough to blog daily.  Although, you must admit, I am doing much better.

I have been happily working on my next three books.  (The Word of God on Prayer, The Word of God on the Words of Your Mouth, and The Word of God on Who I Am")

Both the tomatoes and peppers are still waiting in the kitchen for me.

The beef came back from the butcher, though.  It was 400 pounds, not 300!  Yeah!  We got all of that wrapped and put into the freezer.  Well, most of it.  We also had a great supper!

I hope you enjoyed the update!
