Possible scams, please be aware!

This morning I got a urgent email ,


I thought from my sister, requesting assistance, the mail went on to say she was in England, hm ...

( She's never been out of the US) so that was a red flag. Number 2 we are all meeting my Mom for breakfast this morning so why would she up and go to England? another red flag.....

In my conclusion beware of responding to bogus emails with a family member or friends name on it the email was the same except one letter incorrect, these people went to the trouble to open a yahoo email account.

Check it out , Check it out, check it out! Call your love one direct to make any and all inquires, stay in touch with your family.

the thief comes to steal , kill and to destroy.... Be wise and Check everything out before they empty your bank account out!

Below is the actual email that was sent.... These deceivers are getting wiser and wiser in tricks and tactics to get your money, now they are appealing to the heart....

Thanking God for wisdom and my momma for old fashion common sense. Use it or they will empty you of all your cents$




How are you doing? I am sorry for disturbing you Please I need your assistance I made an Emergency trip to England but I am having little problem now. Please can you assist me with One thousand five hundred dollars ($1,500) to enable me finish what I am doing here. I will pay you back as soon as I return home. Send it via western union money transfer or Money Gram with this information.

I Wanna Love you like that......

((((((I wanna love , you like that .....hm, I wanna Love you like that .....)))))singing from my heart


For God so love the world He gave His only begotten Son, what manner of love is this that God has bestowed upon man that He would give His only begotten son to a people that all ready exhibit that they hated the Lord and wanted no part of the Savior, yet the sacrifice was given anyway....

(((((I Wanna love you , like that .....hm, I wanna you love like that ......))))singing from my heart

Jesus in the garden feeling the weight of hate, pain, rejection that upon first reading the text you think , He almost walked away from His task at hand, but seeing you and me in the distant future and known we would need a Savior to conquer sin, sickness, and death for all time He didn't back up, stagger or waver at the task at hand but pressed forward with you

and I in his mind. Knowing we wouldn't thank Him that day but one day we would be thankful and grateful, the time was coming when the blood of bull, goats, or sheep would not be enough to wipe away the stain of sin, it would need a like sacrifice to wipe away the scarlet stain of transgressions,it would take a human sacrifice,

(((((I wanna love, you, like that ......hm I wanna you love like that ....))))singing from my heart

so God wrapped Himself up in flesh and made the journey to earth through the womb of a young virgin girl name Mary who had no blemish, spot or wrinkled, she sacrificed her womb for a short time that the Savior might stay there 9 months and learned first hand about the infirmities of mankind what out bodies functions instilled and to learn first hand about this creation out of dust He loved and was willing to die for called mankind.

((((I wanna love you, like that .....hm, I wanna love you like that .....)))) singing from my heart

For instance when we say we have a headache He has compassion and mercy for not only did He create us out of dust , but He also dwelled in a human body and walked among us as a Christ Man and fully God all at the same time, He loved us enough to restrain the angels from doing battle against the very people who on many occasions tried to stone and hurt Him . The people who read the scriptures yet didn't know He was the manifestation of the scriptures they showed Him no human kindness or hospitality, love, compassion or mercy,

(((((I wanna Love you , like that, hm I wanna Love you like that......)))))singing from my heart

I want to exhibit a love that even when I am spitefully talked too, or mistreated that I can still show love, mercy and compassion, knowing it's not me they hate but the God in me .

Lord give me a heart of compassion that is always willing to suffer for righteousness, Lord help me not to render railing for railing,

Lord continue to keep my hands free of stones of offense, help me to realize when I point a finger, I have one finger pointing back at me.....

(((((I wanna Love you, like that, hm I wanna love you like that....))))))singing from my heart

PS **Thank you Janina C. for your love, friendship and support, may God abundantly continue to bless your household, may your blessing rain down like a soft rain ..... Thanking God publicly for bringing you and your family into my life. My regards to P Diddy and P Diddy Jr.

Don't Miss your Blessing !!!!

Don't miss your window of opportunity,

Don't miss it by looking at the package, your blessings may come in a way that you will never imagine or expect.

Don't miss it !

Many times I have missed the opportunity to be a blessing to someone or to receive a blessing because of my own unmerited, unbiased, unbiased, judgemental spirit,

looking at the way a person was dressed, or how they talked, just judging people from a flesh view , when I should be looking by the spirit through the Word. Seeing How now how wrong I was , thanking God for mercy and Grace.

When God calls you blessed, no other name the world calls you matters but what the report of the Lord says, it says you are blessed and you are healed walking in prosperity and fearfully made.

Don't miss the message of hope, blessing, healing, and deliverance because you are looking at the " package " .

Let's break it down looking at the " Messenger " .

The people of God looked for a King to come and deliver them, they missed it, their deliver, their redeemer was born right under their noses in a manager.

Not in one of the finest hospitals like we have here such as Riverside hospital, but in a lowly stable surrounded by a great cloud of witnesses, the angels and the horses, goats, sheep, pigs and the pungent fragrance of hay ....what a awesome welcoming committee.

Jesus came and walked among them and yet they still knew not that the deliver had come, John the baptist was crying in the wilderness of his coming, the scriptures spoke of him and foretold his coming ....yet they missed it.

So next time you have the opportunity to connect with someone, give that person your full attention, they may be the one bringing your much needed message of hope, blessing, healing, and deliverance.

The Message that is still setting the captives free!

Christ came that we would have more not less,

that we would live abundantly,

so take the time and put the B back in less,

Set your Priorities

A professor stood before his Philosophy class and had some items in front of him.

When the class began, wordlessly, he picked up a very large and empty mayonnaise jar and proceeded to fill it with golf balls.

He then asked the students if the jar was full.

They agreed that it was.

The professor then picked up a box of pebbles and poured them into the jar.

He shook the jar lightly. The pebbles rolled into the open areas between the golf balls.

He then asked the students again if the jar was full.

They agreed it was.

The professor next picked up a box of sand and poured it into the jar.

Of course, the sand filled up everything else.

He asked once more if the jar was full.

The students responded with a unanimous "yes."

The professor then produced two cups of coffee from under the table and poured the entire contents into the jar, effectively filling the empty space between the sand.

The students laughed.

"Now," said the professor, as the laughter subsided, "I want you to recognize that this jar represents your life.

"The golf balls are the important things - your God, family, your children, your health, your friends, and your favorite passions - things that if everything else was lost and only they remained, your life would still be full.

"The pebbles are the other things that matter like your job, your house, and your car.

"The sand is everything else--the small stuff.

"If you put the sand into the jar first," he continued, "there is no room for the pebbles or the golf balls.

"The same goes for life.
"If you spend all your time and energy on the small stuff, you will never have room for the things that are important to you.

"Pay attention to the things that are critical to your happiness.

Play with your children.

"Take time to get medical checkups.

"Take your partner out to dinner.

"Play another 18.

"There will always be time to clean the house and fix the disposal.

"Take care of the golf balls first, the things that really matter.

"Set your priorities.

"The rest is just sand."

One of the students raised her hand and inquired what the coffee represented.

The professor smiled. "I'm glad you asked.

"It just goes to show you that no matter how full your life may seem, there's always room for a cup of coffee with a friend."

Please share this with someone you care about.

I JUST DID.

Do it Anyway!

Do it Anyway - Author Unknown

People are often unreasonable, illogical, and self-centered;

Forgive them anyway.
If you are kind, People may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives;
Be kind anyway.
If you are successful, you will win some false friends and some true enemies;
Succeed anyway.

If you are honest and frank, people may cheat you;

Be honest and frank anyway.

What you spend years building, someone could destroy overnight;

Build anyway.

If you find serenity and happiness, they may be jealous;

Be happy anyway.

The good you do today, people will often forget tomorrow;

Do good anyway.

Give the world the best you have, and it may never be enough;

Give the world the best you've got anyway.

You see, in the final analysis, it is between you and God;

It was never between you and them anyway.

Some things in life we don't understand !

Somethings in life we don't always understand the who ,

what, whens and whys of it all, I believe Jesus Christ death on the cross explains it all, His death teaches me unconditional Love,

shows me faith in action, his death softens my stony hard heart, his death empties my hand that was full of stones, ready to throw stones of rejection, judgement, condemnation and prejudice.

I am learning, I don't have the right to judge people, or their chosen lifestyles be it straight, gay, crooked, horizontal, or just plain vertical, I don't have the right to judge another when I have a speck in my own eye.

It just seems the closer you get to your commitments or goals in life, or in lay mans terms " your calling in life" your passion , your purpose, the more you start to uncover your sleeping demons, that must be conquered and put to death.Before they ( the unresolved issues ) start waking up and showing up at all the wrong times.

The more you you start facing your hidden prejudices and your bias beliefs the more obtainable your goals seems, you can almost see it with your natural eyes, in the spirit by faith you already have it. But you must, I repeat you must face the issues as they start uncovering themselves in your life or your past issues will sabotage your future.

Allow yourself to go through the process, as you embark on your new life. We must love people, all people not just a select few, a select race, but ALL people. Love not so much what they do, but love the humanity of people, We are God's creation, He created us and didn't force us to be Christian, He just gives us a choice, well I have to be the same way,

I choose to let you follow your dreams , make your decisions, etc. I have no stones in my hands, I only have in my hands and heart unconditional love and compassion that I pray will radiate to others.....

so all the unresolved questions you may have " take comfort in knowing Christ death on the cross explains it all" Any other questions ? Well you can ask Him when you get there!


1 John 3:1

Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not.



John 3:16

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

Galatians 6:1

1Brothers, if someone is caught in a sin, you who are spiritual should restore him gently. .........


Romans 5:6

You see, at just the right time, when we were still powerless, Christ died for the ungodly.



Luke 6:42

Either how canst thou say to thy brother, Brother, let me pull out the mote that is in thine eye, when thou thyself beholdest not the beam that is in thine own eye? Thou hypocrite, cast out first the beam out of thine own eye, and then shalt thou see clearly to pull out the mote that is in thy brother's eye.

Don't put off for tomorrow!

Don't put off for tomorrow


A friend of mine opened his wife's underwear drawer and picked up a silk paper wrapped package :



'This' - he said - 'isn't any ordinary package.'



He unwrapped the box and stared at both the silk paper and the box.



'She got this the first time we went to New York , 8 or 9 years ago. She has never put it on, was saving it for a special occasion.

Well, I guess this is it. He got near the bed and placed the gift box next to the other clothing he was taking to the funeral house, his wife had just died..

He turned to me and said :

'Never save something for a special occasion. Every day in your life is a special occasion'.



I still think those words changed my life.



Now I read more and clean less.



I sit on the porch without worrying about anything.



I spend more time with my family, and less at work.



I understood that life should be a source of experience to be lived up to, not survived through. I no longer keep anything..

I use crystal glasses every day... I'll wear new clothes to go to the supermarket, if I feel like it.



I don't save my special perfume for special occasions, I use it whenever I want to.

The words 'Someday...' and ' One Day...' are fading away from my dictionary. If it's worth seeing, listening or doing, I want to see, listen or do it now..

I don't know what my friend's wife would have done if she knew she wouldn't be there the next morning, this nobody can tell.. I think she might have called her relatives and closest friends. She might call old friends to make peace over past quarrels. I'd like to think she would go out for Chinese, her favorite food. It's these small things that I would regret not doing, if I knew my time had come.



Each day, each hour, each minute, is special. Live for today, for tomorrow is promised to no-one.
