WHAT WE CAN'T SEE
After reading this, I threw my pillow and my handbag in the washing machine. I don't like to be fanatical about germs, but do we really think about all the places they hide?

FALLING WATER DINING
It's interesting to see the unique experiences that many of us don't realize exist.

BIBLE PREDICTIONS ARE HAPPENING NOW
Last night my husband and I were shocked to see so many "Out of Stock" signs sitting on the grocery store shelves. I
never saw the canned food aisles so empty. Either people are stocking up or the manufacturers are having a hard time getting the ingredients
they need.
The skyrocketing food prices and food shortages described in Revelation 6:6 are happening right now. The Christian persecution described in Matthew 24:9 is happening now. The human identification devices described in Revelation 13:16 are becoming more a part of our daily lives. And the Luke 21:25 signs in the sun, moon and oceans are happening right before our eyes. You cannot deny Bible prophecy. -Danelle
"Since 1977 I have done my best to warn people what our future would look like. I warned people to watch the sun, watch the intense heat that would be coming, watch for the water supply to shrink, watch for famines to spread, and crops to die off from the droughts. Everything I warned about was taken from the Word of God.
I am no prophet however, I know the Word and the Lord's warnings and I believe in His Words. It has only been in these past 3 years where people are finally seeing what I have been pointing to all these years. The Holy Spirit has it appears to me have picked up His pace to bring in the last remaining souls into His Kingdom before the rapture takes place. All I can do is preach what Jesus has warned you.
If I could I would drag you into Jesus's Kingdom kicking but only the Holy Spirit can convict you to turn to Him and repent of your sins. I will do this, I plead with you to look at all the signs Jesus told us we would see just prior to His second coming. If you do this I am sure you will see we are just about out of time before the Lord looks down on this Planet and says something like this, “This is the day I have chosen to remove my Church and begin the final countdown for my second coming” those who are of my flock come up hither”. -Frank DiMora

THE MORALITY PROBLEM: JESUS WARNED US
Senseless Acts of Violence
By Jim Carvell
By Jim Carvell
With these recent events around the world where one person takes lives and wounds the bodies and minds of innocent victims and their
families, we need to understand these events are most likely not going away.
Actually, they will grow worse and worse until Christ returns
to put all His enemies under His foot (power). (Hebrews 2:8 ) & ...All
power is given unto me (Jesus) in heaven and in earth ....( Matt 28: 18)
The Apostle Paul in (2 Timothy 3:) tells us ... This know also, that in the
last days perilous ( violent w/ raging insanity ) times will
come... He then lists nineteen personality behaviors some people will posses
during these days. I will use just a couple to make my point. He said some will
be without natural affection, this could mean to be simply
unsociable or does it mean without natural affection one learns from growing up
in a loving, stable family, which is far less in existence today then ever
before. He also said some would be incontinent, meaning without
self control or not being tame. He said some would actually be
fierce, meaning brutal. Last he said some would have a
form of godliness, but denying the power thereof.
This brings me to my point, Paul
tells us then in verse 13 of (2 Tim 3:).... But evil men and impostors will grow
worse and worse...These senseless acts of extreme violence which are growing in
number, are the lacking of true godliness in our citizenry. Our
morals have decayed, our values and thinking are becoming twisted to the point
of insanity.
These acts are not a gun problem. The guns on their own do not
commit violent crimes ( main stream media ). But every man is tempted, when he
is drawn away by his own lust (desires), and enticed. Then when lust has
conceived, it brings forth sin (gives birth to sin), and sin, when it is
finished, brings forth death. ( James 1: 14-15 )
The world needs JESUS and His POWER thereof. Not more
blaming of guns or more gun laws which will not work, since guns are not the
problem.
The Apostle Paul said it best when he said, For I am not ashamed of the
gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to the Jew first,
and also to the Greek ( to the rest of us )....(Rom 1: 16).

Get Ready
It may not be long before this blog gets pulled from the internet. Below is what happened to a Christian blogger who is preparing to shut down his blog. It's also an example of what's already happening to prevent the truth from being told online. Big Brother is picking and choosing what we can say and do on the internet.

GOD WON'T LET KIDS GET AWAY WITH IT
I often wonder what's happening to our children when I see the level of disrespect that they show toward their parents. It seems that everything a parent says is questioned and challenged by today's kids. Do you ever see a child saying, "Yes, Mom I'll do that or Okay Dad I'll do what you ask."? Children today act as if they are their own authority. They act as if their parents are stupid, uncool, clueless, creatures who lived during the stone age and can't possibly understand what life is really like for teenagers today.
Parents are unfair and mean and only want to squash their fun. "Why are you doing this to me?" they ask when they don't get their way. Then they slather on the guilt parents are supposed to feel when kids don't get what they want. "You don't love me. You don't care about me. You want me to have a boring life like you.."And on and on it goes.
When I was a teenager, I had to work up the courage just to ask my mom to go somewhere. I remember sitting in my bedroom for hours trying to decide exactly how I should ask and when would be the best time to approach my mom. I didn't assume that I had the right to do anything. I knew that everything I did had to meet my parents approval. I was submissive to their authority. I respected them as my caretakers and if they said No to something I didn't protest and argue until I got my way. I didn't scream and stomp and cry. I simply accepted the No and went to my room.
Yes, I was disappointed many times but I survived the No's. I lived through all the times I had to stay at home. And today I'm grateful that I wasn't raised by parents who let me do everything I wanted because some of the things I wanted weren't good for me. I couldn't see it at the time, but years later I realized that my parents had my best interests at heart. They loved me and when they said No it was because they thought they were doing the right thing for me.
What's happening today is nothing less than a spirit of rebellion and disrespect overtaking our children. It's a satanic spirit that no one wants to talk about but it's there. You can't deny it. If you have pre-teen or teenage children, you know what I'm talking about. Unless your children have accepted their god-given authority and completely pulled themselves out of this world, they are probably rebellious and disrespectful. They want what they want when they want it and they will fight anyone who tries to keep them from getting what they want.
How does this happen? Why were children so agreeable and submissive thirty years ago but today they treat their parents like bank tellers and drivers who are only good for giving them what they want and getting them where they want to be?
All you have to do is watch TV, go to the movies, or listen to a child psychologist to find the answers. Parents are made to look uncool and stupid on TV sitcoms. Kids rule the roost in today's movies. And child psychologists tell us that we have to be careful not to hurt our children's feelings and we have to watch how we discipline them because we might destroy their self esteem and scar them for life.
While rebellion and disrespect is made to look cool, anyone who tries to instill discipline is seen as an ogre. Parents are told that they have to be a friend to their children first. And many of them shove aside the much-needed discipline in exchange for being a best buddy to their kids. And they raise manipulative brats who think only of themselves, kids who never see consequences for their actions. Their parents bail them out every time punishment is about to fall and these kids think they are invincible. They think they are above any kind of rules, any kind of law, any kind of ethical code. The message they hear is that they can do whatever they want without answering to anyone.
When children willingly place themselves under the authority God has put in their lives, God protects them. While rebellion opens children up to the influence of Satan. Rebellious children who don't respect their parents give the enemy many opportunities to attack them. By being rebellious, they step out from under God's protection and they suffer satanic attacks on their mind, will, and emotions.
Submitting to parental authority brings great blessing and protection. Children don't realize how much they hurt themselves when they talk to their parents disrespectfully and when they talk about their parents to others in a negative way. God sees this. He hears every word. And he has the power to cleanse this rebellious attitude right out of them in whatever way he pleases. Proverbs 21:1 says, "The King's heart is a stream of water in the hand of the Lord; he turns it wherever he will."
Rebelling against parents is like rebelling against the God who put them in authority over you. Ephesians 5:21 says we are to submit to God-ordained authority "out of reverence for Christ." A higher authority controls every human authority and we need to seriously consider the consequences we bring upon ourselves by taking that for granted. Our parents may let us get away with rebellion, but God surely will not.

BILL GATES ABSURD LOGIC
“I don’t care who you are or what side of the vaccine philosophy you fall under, there is no logic in the world that can explain going into a remote village and giving children who only eat one meal a day and have never had clean drinking water, a vaccine. Seriously?
Think about it. Can you imagine walking up to this precious little girl and saying ”I know you are starving, but here is a measles vaccine instead. I promise this will make you much healthier than food or water”. It’s a scary day when simple logic no longer exists. Food & Water, nope. Vaccines, yep. And innocent children suffer the consequences. It’s absurd."

THE THREAT TO TRUE HEALTH INFORMATION
"Some of you may at this point wonder why I report on an issue such as this, so let me make this point clear. Access to health information could easily be deemed a "threat" to national welfare—especially when web sites such as this one publish information that contradicts the official government stance. Examples such as advising women against national mammography screening standards, or raising concerns about vaccine safety, or questioning conventional cancer treatments could all be considered a threat to an extremely profitable status quo.
In such a scenario, they could simply shut Mercola.com, and others like us, down; leaving you with no truth-telling, corruption-exposing, alternative voices other than the officially sponsored viewpoint. And it should be quite clear by now that the government-sanctioned stance on most issues relating to health and diet are primarily dictated by powerful lobbying groups furthering financially-driven industry agendas that have absolutely nothing to do with optimizing health and longevity."

A PLACE TO GO TO
Tomorrow morning my family will be heading to Tioga County Pennsylvania for a relaxing weekend at camp. My husband and his brother own a hunting camp deep in the woods off Route 6, outside of Wellsboro. I love going there because I'm always in a different state of mind once I get there. People in that neck of the woods move much more slowly than people in this area.
No one ever flies around us while driving or impatiently follows too close behind. No one seems to be in a hurry to get anywhere, and the relaxed pace of others has a calming effect on me. Everyone should have a place like that to go to.
Alot of things have been going on that would make me want to escape. I turned 50 this year and with that number came painful back problems and six months of chiropractic therapy. I'm also developing some scary arthritis symptoms. I thought I might feel like this at 80, but never expected it at 50.
So physically it's been a trying year. Perhaps six years of chronic insomnia is taking its toll. I'm not sure what's going on, but the challenges have been more than physical. Along with health problems, I've experienced some people problems. People who misunderstood my words, people who overstepped their boundaries, people who made hurtful comments...this year has been full of them.
There were days when I wanted to lock myself away from the world and just spend all day with God. He's really the only one who can make me feel better. Reading his promises for health, healing, and peace are just what I need when I'm hurting physically and emotionally. He knows every detail of my life and he cares about my pain.
One thing I learned in 50 years of life is that people will always let me down. Now, even my own body is letting me down as arthritis is a disease where the body attacks itself. It's hard to understand why God allows suffering, but I do feel His presence in the midst of it. And I know that if I had a happy-go-lucky life without struggles or pain, I wouldn't need God as much. I wouldn't seek Him, and I wouldn't be writing this blog.
In fact, I began writing the blog shortly after I became sick from a prescription drug. I'd probably still be working full time if my health problems hadn't pulled me away from that. I am exactly where God wants me, arthritis and all, and that gives me peace. I know His grace is sufficient to carry me through whatever may be next. Life will always let us down, but when we put our faith in something bigger, we're able to handle the pain and disappointments.
I gotta go pack now for my weekend getaway. I hope you find a few moments of peace yourself this weekend. Scratch whatever you can off your list and go sit under a tree next to the trickle of running water. Listen to the sounds of nature and listen for God's voice. He's there waiting for you to find Him.

Turmeric Works Better than Drugs for Rheumatoid Arthritis
I've been researching ways to treat rheumatoid arthritis without prescription drugs. Six years ago my life was turned upside down from the side effects of a prescription drug and I have a hard time trusting them now. It seems that the side-effects of these drugs are always worse than the problems they are supposed to treat. The article and video below is from Dr. Mercola, whom I believe is the best doctor to listen to when it comes to natural treatments.

Here's another great blog to explore. I discovered it through one of my members. My number one way to discover great bloggers is to check out the blog list of everyone that follows me and every time I come across a blog I like, I always explore that person's blog list. Like-minded people like the same things, so it makes sense.

IT'S ABOUT MORE THAN A CHICKEN SANDWICH
"American Christians are facing uncertain times. Our nation’s values
are under assault. Religious liberty has been undermined. We live in a
day when right is now wrong and wrong is now right.
The vicious left-wing assault against Chick-fil-A should serve as a wakeup call to people of faith. It’s not about a chicken sandwich. It’s about the future of our country."

UFO OVER THE OLYMPICS
This is old news, but you might not have heard about it. This is one of my husbund's favorite blogs to read. We have almost all of the Watchers DVD's. UFO's are actually described in the bible, so you don't have to be "out there" to believe in them. I just added this site to my list of links. You might want to add it to yours.

AMAZING STORIES, INSPIRING LIVES
You will love exploring this website, a library of stories told by celebrities and others, stories about the difference God has made in their lives. So far I watched Jason Castro, Bethany Hamilton, Scott Hamilton and Kathy Ireland talk openly and honestly about how they came to Christ and why knowing Him better is the most important thing...more important than fame, more important than music, more important than surfing, more important than skating and more important than modeling.
This website is a breath of fresh air in a world filled with people who care only for material things and being praised and noticed. These are people who have it all, the fame, the glory, the riches, the admiration, and they've managed to find faith in something bigger. My favorite is Jason Castro. His testimony is quite moving.
But don't miss Scott Hamilton's story.

TASE CRAZY COPS
Only a coward without muscles would feel the need to tase a 12-year-old girl. This is happening more and more as police overstep their boundaries. If I were a police officer, I would be embarrassed if I tased a young girl. But police defend their actions in such situations, which clearly sends the message that police can do whatever they want regardless of the circumstances. The link below has many more examples of tase crazy cops.

A CHICKEN SANDWICH DIVIDES A NATION
First the goal was to get rid of God in all public places. Now the goal is to silence Christians who defend God's word. Why is it that everyone is allowed to have an opinion except Christians. We are supposed to tolerate everyone else and their beliefs and behavior, but they can't tolerate a Christian's point of view. They call us bigots when in fact they are the bigots.
This is what I would tell a homosexual today. If you think your actions are okay, then go and be at peace with yourself and your partner. Why do you need to try so hard to convince everyone else that your lifestyle is acceptable? When I have a clear conscience, I don't really care what other people say or think.. I'm able to relax. I don't waste my time fighting with anyone who disagrees with me. So why can't they just relax if they have a clear conscience?

FLUORIDE LOWERS IQ, PROMOTES TUMORS
My daughter and I had a dental appointment this week and we were given three free samples of toothpaste. I was told that the toothpaste has high levels of fluoride in it but "not so much that you have to worry about swallowing it."
Oh how comforting! Thanks for telling me that the poison in my toothpaste isn't so intense that I have to be careful not to swallow it. That makes me feel so much better!
And when we got home, the first sound we heard was the thud of three boxes of toothpaste hitting the trash can. Why are we so stupid that we keep buying this stuff. Get some coconut oil, baking soda, and mint flavoring and make your own.

KEEPING IT COOL
At our last family picnic, my mom brought a mini blow-up pool to keep the cold foods cold. It was small enough to fit on the table and I thought it was very clever.

SOUNDS YUMMY!
I made a batch of peach jam this week and I wish I would have had this recipe. Peach barbecue sauce sounds wonderful. I might have to buy another bushel of peaches and get to work on this. Who wouldn't want to receive homemade barbecue sauce as a gift? I have a wonderful recipe for salsa chicken that calls for apricot jam, so I know how good the addition of peach would be to a barbecue sauce.

CAN YOU READ THE SIGNS OF THE TIMES?
by Jim Carvell
Jesus and the Apostle John both
give the same accounts of judgments that the world must go through (MT 24: 4-8 & LUKE 21: the birthing pains) & (REV 6:
1-8 the seal judgements or Four Horsemen ) These judgments appear to be happening now . They are global control, wars, rumors of wars,
famine, pestilences(diseases and plagues from beasts),earthquakes in various
places ,and inflation on foods such as wheat and barley. All are in the news and
increasing as birthing pains every day.
In ( EZK 14: 12-23 ) Ezekiel prophesied all these things as severe
judgements on the land ( world or Nations ) whose trespassing (sins) are
grievous and persistent to the Lord... I believe He does however give a hope of
deliverance to those living in and through these judgements in this present
times. By naming NOAH, DANIEL and JOB in this prophecy four times as an
example of being able to deliver themselves by their own righteousness . For the
Lord said therein shall be left a remnant that shall be brought forth , both
sons and daughters. I believe both Jew and Gentile, both as in Ezekiel's day
as today..
"Now is the time" each individual must be in right-standing with the
Lord . For all these judgements are present and speeding up to the time of the
Great Tribulation, Day of the Lord or Jacobs trouble, (Christ's return). Lets be
honest, you would need to be living in a sealed off bubble not to recognize
these severe events happening every day. Seek the Lord and make your way right
in trusting only Jesus as savior of the world...

OUR CULTURE OF DEATH AND THE BATMAN SHOOTING
We as a nation – as a people – have turned our backs on God. We have
rebelled against Him and have forgotten that it was He and He alone who
gave us 200-plus years of prosperity, unprecedented in world history.
We have left Him, so why are we surprised He’s leaving us? We have said, “We don’t need you, leave us alone.”
And so He has.

And excellent audio sermon about current events--economic despair affecting lives, drought and fire scorching America, what's happening in Syria and how all these things point to an urgent decision you must make.

WE LET THEM TWIST THE CONSTITUTION
America needs to wake-up..... These people and organizations who are
playing games with the Constitution and it's true meaning are out of
hand..Church we better wake-up...
Article 1 ( Amendment to the constitution) states: Congress shall make
(no law) respecting an establishment of religion or prohibiting the free
exercise thereof ...
Prohibiting the free exercise thereof is self explanatory..... the word
respecting seams to be the problem.. the word respect means to hold something in
high regard ( meaning the establishment of religion ) the word also means to
refrain from interfering with (meaning the establishment of religion )
The phrase( separation of church and state ) is not in the United States
Constitution. Everyone by now should know that Thomas Jefferson made this
statement in a letter to the Danbury Baptists in 1802. I believe what he was
referring to in the word separation is held within the word (respecting), which
means to refrain from interfering with, thus establishing a natural wall of
separating State from people, people from State, concerning religious LAWS.
The big problem with people who reject religion, particularly Christianity,
is that this amendment states: Congress (thus representing the whole USA) shall make
no LAW. In other words, Congress is to mind its own business regarding
religion and not to prohibit the practice of it..or make any laws that would
interfere with it.
This amendment says nothing about prohibiting an individual government representative or official from practicing religion openly. This amendment
applies to them, as well as any individual American ... We who believe in GOD
and Prayer need to pray for these people to have their eyes opened to the use
of free exercise thereof... And to stop trying to prohibit religion within our
government.
I do believe we need God more now than at any other time in history, since the establishment of this Constitutional amendment. Click the link below for the article that prompted the above comments which were written by my husband, Jim.

A SUMMER DAY IN JULY
Whenever I see photos of beautiful gardens, I long to have one of my own. It's not that I'm afraid of the work involved, but I fear that my efforts will fail since I've never been good at gardening.
Remember this is the girl who got excited that the herbs she planted actually sprouted and grew into herbs. I love to see things grow out of the ground. It simply amazes me that we can plant a seed and in a little while we'll be enjoying whatever that seed becomes: colorful fragrant flowers, juicy succulent berries or bright green herbs that add wonderful flavor and fill the kitchen with a satisfying aroma.
God has given us so many simple pleasures and summer is the best time to indulge in them. Today I went for a walk and took in the beauty of the day. I marveled at the blue sky and thanked God for the blessing of a recent rain that brought the corn fields back to a deep green and a better posture.
As I walked on, I saw a doe strut slowly across the road on her way to enjoy a bite of corn from the farmer's field. A butterfly fluttered past me. A rabbit watched me intently as I walked by, knowing just how close I could get before it scurried off into the safety of the corn field. I watched the birds on the phone wires above me as they sat together for a while chatting and then flew their separate ways.
Every day these things go on around me that I'm unaware of. I take them for granted. But today I was determined to really see and appreciate what God has created for our enjoyment. Life is beautiful, especially on a summer day in July.

WHEN DAMASCUS FALLS
The fall of Damascus is predicted in the Bible. It's not a question of if, but a question of when. Debka recently posted this special report video.

TOXIC CANDLES POLLUTING YOUR HOME
I wish I would have read this sooner, I always play hostess on Thanksgiving and I bought some Dollar Store candles for each table one year. Within a few hours of burning them I had a terrible headache. My sister-in-law suspected the candles. She, too, wasn't feeling well since I had lit the candles. We don't think about these things, but anything we bring into our homes should be scrutinized. Make sure your candles are safe. Read the article below.

Interview with Gerald Celente of the Trends Journal | Greg Hunter’s USAWatchdog
I hesitated to post this because this guy sugar coats nothing. His words are harsh but there's much truth in what he says. These things are really happening. If you're offended by anything he says, do your own research and learn more. He's trying to wake America up to what's happening while we sleep.

MY INSULT OR YOUR FRUSTRATION?
Have you ever said something out of your own frustration that was heard and received as an insult? The words just tumbled out because week after week you had been dealing with this same area of frustration. This is what's been weighing heavy on my mind lately. How easy it is for me to say something and have it be taken as an insult.
I recently walked away from a volunteer position because there wasn't much for me to do once I got there. Night after night I'd drive home wondering why I bothered to make the trip. Often having no more that two hours sleep the night before, I wondered why I was taking time away from my family to drive to another town and volunteer to do nothing but chat with the other volunteers. I was frustrated. So I said something to vent my frustration.
When I say something that hurts someone, I feel regret. I often try to make it better by sending a card, which I did in this case. But I think even my card wasn't well-received. For weeks I was bothered by this. I had to find a way to put it to rest. Do you know how I did it, how I managed to find peace in that situation? I forgave myself. I did what I could to make it right (sent the card) and then I forgave myself.
Every day we say things that could potentially hurt someone. Some people intentionally throw insults. But I believe most people don't intend their words to be hurtful. I believe we need to give others the benefit of the doubt more often. My experience has taught me to offer grace when I feel insulted by others. Because I don't really know what's going on in their lives. What I take as an insult could be just their own frustration coming to the surface.

UNDESERVED LOVE
Here's a topic many women can relate to. Yesterday I was mad at my husband because it seems that every time I ask him to do something for me ( which isn't often) he makes me feel like I'm asking for the world. I'll get an irritated glance and a comment like, "I wasn't planning to have to do that today." I asked for two favors yesterday and both times he fussed and complained when in my mind he should have responded with a glad heart eager to help his wife.
I managed to keep my mouth shut, but in my mind I rehearsed a lecture about how we were put on this earth to serve others and if we can't do it without grumbling and complaining, then we have a long way to go in our Christian walk. I wanted to say to him, "Cant you do anything without fussing? Have you ever in your life said to someone, 'Yes, I'd be happy to do that for you'."
Sometimes I do feel like my husband doesn't deserve me. He might feel the same about me at times. We all disappoint others and we all can be selfish at times. Here's some advice about giving undeserved love.

Greg Evensen -- America Died While we in the Church Slept
GREAT ARTICLE. SO WORTH THE TIME IT TAKES TO READ IT. SO TRUE!
Greg Evensen -- America Died While we in the Church Slept
Greg Evensen -- America Died While we in the Church Slept
A MAN IS KNOWN BY HIS ACTIONS
"Obama
took an oath to protect and defend the Constitution, and yet whether he
is a Muslim or not, he has undeniably gone around the world promoting
Islam and Sharia (Islamic law)." Since then, he has continued to do
so. He keeps fueling the impression that he is a Muslim by his actions,
which have been consistent. He killed Osama and Awlaki? Sure...but he
has never moved against pro-sharia Islamic supremacists. Quite the
contrary.
By their fruits ye shall know them, and so we know him. The left media should stop beating people up for being logical.
