Can You Breathe?

Go ahead and keep smoking! I’m not condoling it at all, nor am I going to provide information that is encouraging~ especially for young children who inhale the second hand smoke.


Research has been proven that infants, toddlers and children who are exposed to second hand smoke develop numerous ear infections, pneumonia, and bronchitis that will eventually develop hearing loss as teenagers as well as brain damage. In addition you are causing your children to be at risk for cancer 100 times more than those who are not exposed to second hand smoke. (http://www.entnet.org/content/secondhand-smoke-and-children)

My son had severe asthma and allergies growing up and it did not matter who the person was; husband, Mother, Father, Uncle etc. they did NOT smoke in my house, car, or in the vicinity of my child or my house. As a parent, you have control over your smoking enough to wait until you get to a place where you are not affecting anyone with the second hand smoke~ Better yet, you can stop smoking yourself. It is selfish and costly to you and your child when you are constantly taking them to the doctor for ear infections, bronchitis, and pneumonia – and you are being ignorant of how it affects their lives!




I am excited that many states have developed a fine to anyone smoking in the car with children under the age of 18. Some states it’s under the age of 15, others are under 14, but I am not sure it is Indiana yet, but if it isn’t, it still should be something as a Mother you do not expose your child to~ even if you smoke.  



Don’t be selfish; don’t live to make a good impression on others. Be humble, thinking of others as better than yourself.  Don’t just think about your own affairs, but be interested in others, too, and in what they are doing. Philippians 2:3,4 TLB

ALL Things Become NEW!

Every "New Year" brings new things, but we must transform our minds and hearts to let go of the old and embrace the new. Once a door is closed in the spirit, it cannot be opened, yet we hold on to the past that keeps our minds trapped to something that is debilitating rather than enlightening. Thoughts and words have power, and scripture tells us in Proverbs 18:21, "Death and Life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof." It has been studied that words of encouragement brings confidence in a person, good mental health, they believe in themselves to do well in life, they have better physical health, are more resilient, have good coping methods, know they are loved,  and have a calm spirit. Negative words are harsh and cause anger in a person, stress, they lose confidence and self-worth, they give up and feel there is no hope for them in anything they do, and no one loves them; in addition they are prone to depression and a...

A Lost Service?

There are so many things lacking in our lives today and the only thing that is going to fill that void is serving Yahweh and serving others. Volunteering and serving others and Yahweh (which he called himself [a servant]) breaks that spirit of selfishness, self gratification, and self destruction.   Teens volunteering which builds character and great leaders  Scripture reads in Proverbs 16:27 Ethiopian Bible: 27  An ungodly man digs up evil: and in his lips there is as a burning fire. Which translates a ungodly man looks for trouble and manipulates others to do unlawful    acts. Many have heard this verse as, “Idle hands is the devil’s workshop.” Hands represent honest work in the Bible, or doing what is right in the eyes of Yahweh and man. The Bible also speaks of unclean hands that do bad things or are works of the devil. If you are sitting around in your feelings, get out and volunteer, help someone, serve at a food pantry, start a neighborhood garden; someth...

Let the "Light" Shine

Early Parchment of The Constitution Early American Settlers We are dealing with devils in the leadership in America and here’s the hypocrisy of it all, ALL of them that has been in office from the beginning of America’s birth, have overlooked lynching, starvation, terrorism of the Klu Klux Klan (KKK), lying, hate, sexual impurity, killing defenseless woman and children, just deep oppression - and want to say America was founded on Biblical foundations. Now whose Bible or whose Yahweh is this that promotes violence, evil, hate, and injustice? Yahweh gave Moses laws, instructions and promises to give to the people to live by and many call it the Ten Commandments, which Yahweh gave Moses hundreds of laws and there is no place, I have read, that this is the ten commandments.  What I read is that Yahweh gave them unto the people so that they will not sin and fear Him and obey His Commandments with favor, which is life, in the land. But this is just the beginning of the laws Yahweh gave ...
