Misfit Mom aka Susan Milner 

Now you see it, now you don't.  I've just discovered that if I turn off my firewall suddenly my WYSWYG buttons appear.  Now I'm going to try the evasive spell check.  Hold your breath.  HURRAY IT WORKS!  THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN SOLVED.  THOSE FIREWALLS CAN BE PRETTY TRICKY THINGS.  Sometimes they block the very things you want and at other times don't block the load of garbage that they are suppose to filter.
But it's a great day for I finally figured out the spell check problem.  I now see that Blogger has added a number of features to the toolbar line.  I'll have to investigate.

My friend Cecil wrote me a letter yesterday. This a friend of mine who has been very special to me since I was 15 years old. Now I'm passed it a bit so our friendship has lasted my whole adult life and most of my teenage years as well. There is something special about long lasting friendships. The familiar, the good, the bad, the ugly to coin a film title. Yet those experiences add depth to the relationship. Tell me what makes a special friend special to you? Why can't I still find my spell check?

I do the things I don't want to do? I would like to blog more regularily and then I just blogged and lost the whole thing. You would think by now I'd know better?

I found this picture of a wandering jew and thought I would post it on top of my blog. I'm not blog able yet. So if there's anyone who can help. PLEASE HELP ME! 

Today I was reading from Proverbs. I think Proverbs in possibly my favorite book in the Bible. Why! you might ask? Well because it's so practical. It gives practical advice for all life's problems. And there are many at one time or another. I was reading Proverbs 4 this morning. Wow verse 13 was for everyone who craves a fulfilled life.
It reads: "Carry out My instructions; don't forsake them. Guard them, for they will lead you to a fulfilled life." What do you think about that. It's a promise we can claim.
I've decided that I'm going to try not to live in the future. I'm going to strive to live in today. Every morning I'm going to ask the LORD what can I do today to please Him. I'm going to ask for an extra portion of joy. I'm going to try to be satisified with my portion. Lastly I'm going to try to see the blessings in the the simple things of life.

Evil spirits that hamper, delay, distort, confuse, distract, depress, discourage, destroy, kill, steal, and otherwise block our path towards GOD. This is what the black pastor spoke about on tv this morning. Live from Charlotte, NC. I think it's called More than Conquerors or Victory Church. He's too too cool Pastor Goul. Check him out if you can. He's the man that teaches other men truth. So, he was speaking about hampering spirits. I tried to set up a bible study on one of my other blogs and of course it was hampered by technology or lack of it. But it's ok it has given me encouragement to push onward. Don't let those spirits win. We can take control. We have authority by the Name of Jesus Christ. Whatever the problem is we can speak to it. The pastor informed us that we can open the door of our house or apartment and cast these demons out of our lives. The spirit of fear, the spirit of lying, the spirit of confusion, the spirit of anger. Just to name a few that might be lerking in the shadows. Try it and tell me what happens. Good luck, Mom

Have you ever gotten frustrated? Yesterday I blogged on my new blogsite TheWanderingJewishMom I published my blog and suddenly it disappeared. Oh to the bottom of the deep pit of blogging errors it spiraled. They say my spell check works now. After I blog today we will see. I put a link on my side bar to the Living Translation Bible Page. This is cool because they have a icon that lets you download the Bible in a Year for free. Is that not too too cool? I tried the link and it works. Maybe there is hope for me.
Blogger Support wrote me an e-mail to say that my spell check now works. That my problem was part of a bigger problem. But I hate to tell you this guys, my spell check still doesn't work.

These are the roses Jan sent me. I love taking pictures of them. Everytime he brings me a dozen or two I feel compelled to photograph them. Then when they die I add them to my dry rose petal bowls. These are posted for someone else you might like a dozen roses. With love from Mom 

When I was doing my devotional this morning I came across several verses which really touched my spirit. Tell me if they touch yours?
Ps 90:12 Teach us to make the most of our time, so that we may grow in wisdom.
Ps 14:2 The LORD looks down from heaven on the entire human race; He looks to see if there is even one with real understanding, one who seeks for GOD.
Pr. 28:14 Blessed are those who have a tender conscience, but the stubborn are headed for serious trouble.
Pr. 28:7 a Whoever gives to the poor will lack nothing.
You know when I started my spiritual journey I didn't even know you needed a Bible. The women who shared the Good News with me, Helen MacIntosh at All Souls Langham Place asked me if I had a Bible. I had been going to church for seven years and I didn't even know you needed one. She told me to get one and read it. Read it from start to finish she advised. I did. I try to make it part of my day, as soon as I wake up to read God's Word for 15 min. It is a good anchor for whatever life brings.

I was praying this morning as I do with two of my faithful prayer partners. I was praying for words and wisdom. I was praying for Suddenly Seminary and a phase caught my spirit that phase was the Wordless Book. Do you know what the Wordless Book is? Well if you don't I have a link that might change your life. www.cefonline.com/wordless/
Tell me what you think.

Check out Suddenly Seminary at www.tallskinnykiwi@typepad.com for the best ride in town today. It starts at 2:00 p.m e.s.t. and this very well could be a happening.

Remember I told you about my Jamaica Medical Missions trip to the orphanage. Here's a glimpse. 

LINK FOR PROPAGATION
http://muextension.missouri.edu/xplor/agguides/hort/g06560.htm href="http://www.muextension.missouri.ed/xplor/agguides/hort/g06560.htm">
I had to retype the link so it may not work since it's so long. But if you ever wanted to know anything about propagation this is your site.

So, this is the rest of the family. From one Jewish Mother who couldn't possibly leave anyone out. This is my main squeeze Jan and Rosie my Stropshire Terrier. She's really a Yorkie but I think there's mix blood. 

Remember I told you about that rosebush and that bed, those wandering jews. This is James planting those roses.  

This is Alexandra. It was graduation day at Samford University. Onward and upwards to the Windy City. 

The Wandering Jew is in view!  

I just lost my entire post. REALIZE THAT IF YOU NAVIGATE AWAY FROM THIS PAGE WITHOUT SAVING IT YOU LOSE IT!
I was looking for a link for mission year. It's www.missionyear.com
Now I have to try to replicate my thoughts. The dog is barking upstairs and distracting me. I'm listening to the BBC World News and longing to be in England. God quickened my spirit the other day. After reading about God's guidance I was convicted about being in today. Asking God what he wanted me to do today rather than with all my tomorrows. Does that speak to anyone else's spirit?
Alexandra has found out that she will be going to the Windy City Chicago for a year. She's going through MISSION YEAR. The link is above. That's how I lost my entire post trying to find the link. Nevertheless. If anyone has any connections in Chicago or any thoughts or experiences with Mission Year I'd sure like to hear from you.

THE LOST STORY ABOUT THE WANDERING JEW

I looked at my post and observed that the story about the wandering jew was lost in the first posting that got deleted by mistake. So, here it goes again. James, my son
planted a rosebush for mother's day in the back of the house. A wandering jew appeared by itself wandering in and out of the cracks of the old tire ties that hold the bed together. It a funny thing about a wandering jew that it comes and goes and grows even though it wasn't purposely planted. Is there a spiritual message in that. I'd really love a horticulturist to comment on that. How does a wandering jew propagate?
My spell check still doesn't work. Maybe I should write an e-mail to blogger?
