GIVING THANKS!!!

Thanksgiving Day is a day wich we should probably celebrate every day. If you stop and think about what we should thinkful for, there is an awful lot. First we should thank God for our strength and our health, We should thank our Military for our "Freedom," and Our Constitution to speek freely, and to live how we wish. And that our country has finally realized that there is no difference between "BLACK and WHITE"!!! We should continue to give God thanks each and every day. But most of all Happy Thanksgiving To All!!!

Election Day

Today is the biggest day in our nations history, the count down to see if America elects it's first "black president", or if we will have our first ever "woman vice-president". I am proud to have taken part in voting today. As we each go to the voting poll our voice or opionin is being heard. I just want to say best of luck to both Presidential parties, as they both talk of change, change is already being made. They now have a page in history! But change will come no matter who wins the election. the world must change. Good Luck!!

Black Gold

Painfully enough, today the price of a barrel of oil topped out at a whopping price of $132.00. When is it ever going to stop. If you have any part in the oil trade, then your as good as Gold! For an example; Have you ever heard of a man named"Boone Pickens," He is an oil Tycoon and an Oklahoma State University Alumni. Today, this man donated $100million dollars to the University. When just three years ago he donated $178million. Now Mr. Pickens is definately showing his wealth from this black gold that seems to be getting more costly everday. If these people in the oil trade are getting that rich, then I don't think it will hurt them to let up on our pocket books just a little! If there is going to be any giving back, then let's see it at the PUMP!!!

American Idol

So now we are down to the wire. Tonight David Archuletta gave the perfomance of a life time, he sang his little heart out. He took the stage, and sang like he was already the star. I think that David Archuletta has this one in the bag. David Cook will get a record deal no matter what. But as for Archuletta, he deserves the "American Idol" title. Both David's are superstars!! Good Luck to both of you!!!

American Idols

"The Boy Wonder" delivers a double blow tonight. Both performances were outstanding. At the age of only 17, David Archuletta, is on his way to stardom. He has shown with each performance that he has style and class. Most of all , he has soul. In my opinion, Jason Castro gave his last perfomance tonight on American Idol. As for David C. and Syesha , they better be on their best game. My vote goes to David Archuletta!

PRESCRIPTION ADDICTION

In 2006, the National Institute For Drug Abuse conducted a survey of prescription drug use and results showed that 16.2 million americans age 12 and older had taken prescription pain relievers, tranquilizers, stimulants, or sedatives for non medical purposes, at least once in the year prior to the survey.
In my opinion, this is a heartbreaking statistic, but yet a reality. Changes need to be made... even 1 life is worth saving!
Changes to help prevent drug use and abuse among pre-teens, teens, and even young adults require a strong family connection and support network, reframing from negativety, developing positive interaction techniches with the focus on the present not the past.
EDUCATION on ADDICTION and RECOVERY is the 'key' for all members involved, and the desire to help set boundaries for the 'addict' without enabling previous behavior and choices.
The problem with addtion is that it's not just confined to the addict only, become aware and educate yourself.

WORRY.....LOOKS AROUND
SORRY......LOOKS BACK
FAITH.....LOOKS AHEAD AND NEVERS GIVES UP

American Idols

Well what can you say, job well done Brooke White , we will miss you! You are an incredible singer with a unique style that makes you shine. Now the ones to beat are David Cook and David Archuletta. They are just outstanding. Good luck guys!

Bargain Shoppers

We had a family yard sale this weekend, and had a great turn out. Although, it was a little more work than I had expected, we still had fun. The people started coming at 7:oo am, in the morning and just kept coming. Watching some of these older people, especially the little old lady's, was hilarious. It was like they lived to yard sale. they would try to get you to come down off what was already a bargain to others, but they did it just because they did it for the game! Some just live for the sake of a bargain!!!

American Idols

My hat's off to all the contestants of "Americ Idol"
There is such unique versatillity through out each individual
this year, that at this point in the competition, any one of them
can take the title. Each one, has a very blessed talent!

GoodLuck!!!

HIGH ROLLIN

Look closely people, that's right, those are diamonds. This Mercedes belongs to one of the top 10 richest men in the world... (Kush Al Fayed) An Arab in the oil trade. There is $480 million dollars of diamonds on this car. So the next time you are putting high priced gasoline into your car, this man is probably adding another diamond to his...

STUPID CRIMINALS

I'm sure you all have heard,"Don't bring a knife to a gun fight" So a criminal breaks into a middle class home, armed with only a knife. Not expecting anyone to be home. When much to the burglar's surprise, He was met at the top of the stairs, only to see both of the residents at home and pointing a gun at him. As the criminal turns to run out of the house, the owners open fire, shooting the burglar in the buttocks... They hold him at gun point by the curb until the police arrive. So the criminal get's a trip to the hospital and then to jail. Now that's just STUPID!!!

THE MEANING OF RECOVERY

The act of regaining the natural position.
The act of recovering, regaining, or retaking possession.
Restoration from sickness, weakness, or faintness.
To restore from a condition or misfortune.

In my own opinion...the meaning of recovery is.......
"To Recover Your Meaning"

Life is a process of teachings and lessons,experiences and
opportunites, and most importantly...choices of direction.
When truly humbled you become healed.
Through recovery, life finds it's purpose, what you propose to
do with it ...is simply a choice.
Allowing your lessons to become the teachings for others can
be one of life's biggest rewards.

HAPPY EASTER

ST. PATRICK'S DAY...LUCK OF THE IRISH

ST. PATRICK........THE LEGEND

Legend has it that St. Patrick was born in

Scottland or Wales around 370 A.D. and his

given name was Maeywn Succat.

THE SHAMROCK..........

The green shamrock (aka:trefoil) is the national symbol

of Ireland. The ancestors of modern Irish people (aka:druids)

believed in the holiness of the shamrock due to a sacred

symbol formed by it's 3 leaves.

The number 3 has great representation in other

religions also. To christians, it's 3 leaves form a cross

and serve to represent the Trinity.

A TRADITIONAL BLESSING..........

For each petal in the shamrock

This brings a wish your way

Good health, good luck, and happiness

For today and every day

HAPPY ST. PATRICK'S DAY

JUDGEMENTAL

I'm sure most of you have heard about the Oklahoma representavie "SALLY KEARNS"
It makes me ashamed to say that I live in the state of Oklahoma.
Being in the position she is, she ought to know better to say things
about the people she represents... She is a law maker, not someone
to cast judgement!!!

STIMULATING

So the President wants to stimulate our economy
and plans to send us a stimulus check. Well who
does'nt get stimulated in some way when the
talk of handing them money to put in their pocket.
What would be wrong with dropping the cost of
fuel low enough that we could actually afford to
spend our money some where else other than at the
"GAS PUMP" Like I said, the only one's getting
stimulated, are those who are in the oil industry...

GAS PRICES

Oh-MY-GOD!!! Can you believe the price of gasoline. Today,
the price of a barrel of oil topped out at a WHOPPING $108.00 !
Did you know there are only 42 gallons in a barrel.(do the math)
The President say's that our country is heading towards a recession,
and wants to stimulate our economy... But it seems to me those who are in
the oil industry are doing mighty fine!!! We should all be concerned...
Feel free to leave your comments on this one!!!

DRUGS/ALCOHOL...1 IN THE SAME

ALCOHOL IS THE #1 DRUG PROBLEM IN AMERICA

OVER 15 MILLION AMERICANS ADDICTED AND STUDIES
SHOW THAT 50% OF ALL DRIVING FATALITIES ARE DUE
TO ALCOHOL USE.

HERE'S A BIT OF INFORMATION THAT I'M SURE YOU WILL
FIND VERY SHOCKING.......
ON AVERAGE, AMERICANS CONSUME OVER 25 GALLONS
OF BEER, 2 GALLONS OF WINE, AND 1.5 GALLONS OF
DISTILLED SPIRITS EVERY YEAR.

ALSO, DID YOU YOU KNOW?...4 OUT OF 10 CRIMINAL
OFFENDERS REPORT ALCHOL USAGE AS A FACTOR
IN VIOLENT BEHAVIOR...AND THAT'S JUST THE ONES
THAT ARE WILLING TO ADMIT IT.
ALCOHOL IS SO WIDELY ACCEPTED THAT WE FAIL TO
ACKNOWLEDGE THE HARM WE CAN DO TO OTHERS
AND OURSELVES WHILE UNDER THE INFLUENCE.
DENIAL IS SO PREVALENT WITH ALCOHOLISM,
THEREFORE IT'S THE LEADING SUBSTANCE OF
ADDICTION.

HAVE A SAFE WEEKEND, DON'T LET SOMEONE YOU
LOVE OR CARE ABOUT DRINK AND DRIVE.
