Pray today...and every day

Since it's International Day of Prayer, that can only mean my John 3:16 bow is appropriate.
As loony as the world has become we NEED to pray!  Tornadoes, protests, and pro-palestinian horsesh!t here in the U.S., wars in Sudan, in Israel, in Russia and Ukraine, in Myanmar, it's just a hair cray-cray.  The wars in Sudan and in Myanmar appear to be civil wars, and I REALLY hate that.  No war is good, but civil wars always seem to be the cruelest.

Regarding the tornadoes, April used to be the worst month for us here in the Bootheel, but lately May has been even more so.  I first noticed it in 2011 when Joplin got hit...but then that was just a bad spring, period.  God wasn't happy then either.  What I don't get was why the tornado had to plow through Joplin, and not some place where a lot of conflict was going on, but that's not my place to know, I don't s'pose.  My job is...well, to pray.  Pray for safety, pray for those that were hurt, give thanks for the good fortune of myself and others.  I've done that a lot the past two weeks.  The strife in this case is on the college campuses, and yet the small towns of the Great Plains are the ones burying their dead and rebuilding their houses.  But then again, innocents live at the colleges too.  I just place my faith in Jesus and go on with my day!

God bless,

Let freedom ring

Yet another patriotic one.  This one came from Etsy, but I don't know what shop it was. This one is one of three that my mother got for me in one fell swoop.  The others are the jellybean bow from June 3rd and the flag bow from June 14th . Like them, this bow is a big one. Let freedom ring, baby!  I remember sharing my memories of Flag Day, but I don't remember sharing memories of the Fourth of July...at least, not here.  Oh, I've got so many!  Halloween is my mother's favorite holiday, and Independence Day was my dad's for reasons unknown.  May have had something to do with his love for history.  But anywho, about April Daddy would start setting aside a little money here and there for fireworks, and as July 4th rolled around he'd buy fireworks with that money.  A few here, a few there, a whole sh!tload at Reeve's Boomland in Charleston...oh, Boomland.  I liked going there, but as I grew older I began to realize that it was kinda a dangerous place.  Not for

Pac-Man fever

For the record, I suck at Pac-Man.  I've only played it a handful of times, but each time I couldn't get past the first level.  I guess it's one of those games that requires practice and patience...and patience is NOT one of my virtues!  Regardless, I do like Pac-Man.  Compared to the dumb video games we have today Pac-Man's simple innocence is...well, it's pretty nice.  Unfortunately I'm about to make myself look like a complete hypocrite, because my Pac-Man is munching more than just little white pellets! Phooey on pellets and fruit and ghosts, Pac-Man's hitting the hard stuff!  The Etsy carrier, DollfaceDesignss , goes heavy on the horror, so I guess Pill-Popper Pac-Man is kinda tame compared to Psycho .  Whatevs, I like my accessories a little (or a lot) on the offbeat side, so I'm happy.  This is a mighty nice bow, by the way.  Some of my bows pull my hair like mad, but this one slid right in. In addition to the goofy hair bow I've gone with Pac

Colour my world

It's Crayon Day! It should be no surprise to y'all that I love crayons even now.  When I was very, very little I only had four, in the colors depicted on the bow:  red, blue, yellow, and green.  When I started school I learned that crayons come in many, many other colors, but I digress.  Green was my favorite color as a toddler, and it remains that way now, but for some reason I chose blue earrings to go with the bow. I think I chose blue because I wear blue jeans every day, and blue jewelry matches blue jeans.  Or that's the way I reasoned back in high school.  But for the record, I do love blue; when one is a Moody Blues fan one tends to gravitate towards blue, and I am indeed a fan, LOL.  Heck, I liked blue BEFORE I could tell Justin Hayward from Justin Timberlake (which isn't hard, as one's old and talented and the other is young and does better on SNL than he does as a singer).  But anyway, I got the blue crayons to go with my bow.  Pity I couldn't find da
