The nicest man ever !

My flooring installation guy came home two weeks ago and announced that he would be refinishing the kitchen floor before Thanksgiving.

The first thing that we did was to paint the ceiling. Then it took him a week and a half to complete the floor.

I will touch up the mouldings and the cabinets today and I will refinish 6 bar stools as soon as I can get to them which probably will be after Thanksgiving.

I am hopeful that I can talk him into refinishing two lower cabinet door fronts worn from where we stand to wash the dishes and cook.

He also installed four window blinds and I'm really happy with those.

The floor looks beautiful , thank you Paul !!

Just so ya know, in January I would like to refinish a bedroom floor too.

Jesus I trust in you.

I hate Chuck.

(Some refer to him as Up-Chuck)

I think of Chuck E. Cheese playrooms as a casino for little people. It's a place that has whirling screaming machines, and loud music with lots of mesmerizing blinking lights. The kids are all hopped up on candy, birthday cake, and soda and every surface from the floor to 4-1/2 feet high is either sticky, or coated in some sort of an unidentifiable kid slime - a natural by product of children.
My son was given a cup of machine tokens and he quickly discovered with the "Skee-ball" machine that tickets would pop out of it according to how many points he was able to rack up and with those tickets he could redeem them for even more CANDY ,or for "toy-lets" ( small worthless crappy toys made in China that were manufactured from toxic plastic sludge and or lead waste products which always ends up in the kids mouth) and all of this means that there's more crap for their mothers to pick up so that moms can become discouraged and question their own self worth.

While I waited on my son I ordered a pizza for myself . It said on the menu that it was a six slice personal pizza for $4.99. I thought to myself , "well I can't eat six slices, but I can take the leftovers home to my other children". After about 45 minutes they brought out my pizza and the slices were the size of triangular "Doritos" tortilla chips.

I polished it off in no time while the children attending the birthday party were able to play in front of a video camera that would televise their activities upon a handful of huge televisions screens positioned throughout the building. I saw this six year old boy in front of the camera and as he was facing backwards he began to dance and grind with his butt , though fully clothed , he was slapping his butt and rotating his hips kinda like something Beyonce or J.Lo would do. I was speechless and I couldn't help but to ponder where he learned that kind of a move. I wondered if his parent all red faced and apologetic would rush to the stage area to stop him, but no such luck.
Then I wondered to myself if I would be able to duplicate that move for my blog administrator then I realized that it would be impossible

because I'm a very , very white girl and I move like Al Gore.

*******
Sixty-five years of television hasn't been good for our children.

Playing tag with demons.

After reading the news today I asked myself, " Why do we continue along on this path that leads to perdition?" Why doesn't Satan say, okay everybody, I need more time and because I know how this story will end I would like to slow this thing down so that I can continue to roam about the earth collecting souls and wreaking havoc. He knows that when it's over he will be thrown into the pit so why does he continue to push God? Maybe even for Satan once the sinning begins it gets out of control just like with humans and it's no longer manageable. Perhaps sin can never be satiated and it requires more and more to achieve some level of satisfaction until it self implodes. Maybe God is waiting for us to implode... on our own.
Maybe God has a set time table and at a certain date in time after we meet some sort of a "sin limit" this will all be over. Maybe we have to wait for the last people to be born. God's love must be so great for us that even though our planet has become saturated with sin, he hasn't walked away and who could blame him if he did?
Every day the news is more sinful and unsettling than the previous days news. I was sickened a few days ago when I read about the human- animal DNA mixing in the news but yet today we have a "three biological parent" scenario over on Drudge. Porn has gotten so bad that the overflow finds you and you don't even have to go looking for it and when it finds you it's like a punch in the gut. The atheist movement is growing drastically, and they're all over YouTube and they have their own blog groups like my Catholic friends do and I'm not even going to talk about the militant gays, and pro-abort women etc.. unrepentant, steadfast, defiant, and sinful. It's all so very sad. I feel bad for God and if it weren't for my family ,friends and my blogger buddies I would feel very alone.
I am proud of the Catholic bloggers who keep posting the truth about Christ, his church and our beloved saints , even though sometimes they catch hell for it. You christian bloggers really are wonderful yet there are so few of us in comparison.

I understand now what Jesus meant when he said,"the gates to Hell are wide and the gates to Heaven are narrow." I always thought that most people who believed in God would go to heaven when they died, but after acquiring high speed Internet access my opinions have changed.

*My interpretation is that Denzils character is calling out to Christ and not saying his name in vain.

God bless our veterans, now and always.

Wis 6:1-11

Hear, O kings, and understand;
learn, you magistrates of the earth’s expanse!
Hearken, you who are in power over the multitude
and lord it over throngs of peoples!
Because authority was given you by the Lord
and sovereignty by the Most High,
who shall probe your works and scrutinize your counsels.
Because, though you were ministers of his kingdom, you judged not rightly,
and did not keep the law,
nor walk according to the will of God,
Terribly and swiftly shall he come against you,
because judgment is stern for the exalted–
For the lowly may be pardoned out of mercy
but the mighty shall be mightily put to the test.
For the Lord of all shows no partiality,
nor does he fear greatness,
Because he himself made the great as well as the small,
and he provides for all alike;
but for those in power a rigorous scrutiny impends.
To you, therefore, O princes, are my words addressed
that you may learn wisdom and that you may not sin.
For those who keep the holy precepts hallowed shall be found holy,
and those learned in them will have ready a response.
Desire therefore my words;
long for them and you shall be instructed.

Jesus , you don't actually expect for me to serve others now do you? I thought that religion was all about what you could do for me.

Besides serving others doesn't feel very good.

So maybe you meant something else. Maybe the bible scripture is wrong or maybe you have the wrong woman in mind to follow you.

I know what I'll do , I will either ignore, remove, or tweak the parts that you say that make me uncomfortable, or that I simply don't like , you'll love me anyway... right?

And lastly , if I follow you will you still do stuff for me ?

Luke 17; 7-10

Jesus said to the Apostles:
“Who among you would say to your servant
who has just come in from plowing or tending sheep in the field,
‘Come here immediately and take your place at table’?
Would he not rather say to him,
‘Prepare something for me to eat.
Put on your apron and wait on me while I eat and drink.
You may eat and drink when I am finished’?
Is he grateful to that servant because he did what was commanded?
So should it be with you.
When you have done all you have been commanded, say,
‘We are unprofitable servants;
we have done what we were obliged to do
