Joy to the world, the Lord has come
Let earth receive her King
Let every heart prepare Him room
Ah yes , the corrected words to a song with much meaning if you but look for it."Joy to the world, the Lord has come" If the lord has truly come ( and he has, just take my word for it for now) Why shouldn't there be much joy in the world? Now quick, in your mind cut to a news flash on TV, No bad news about Obama, or a war, or the republicans shutting down govt to help us , or starving kids in 3rd world countries or dogs half starved and sitting in cages at a shelter that will be killed unless you adopt them or send money, but no! Good news ! The Lord has come, And not for 19.95 plus shipping and handling, and if you act within the next 10 minutes he will double your order of himself! "Let earth receive her King" No, he just wants the earth as a whole to receive him. Yes he wants earth to receive him, meaning he won't force himself on us as a whole, he won't try to dominate the whole earth with force like Hitler tried in ww2 or like Al Qaeda tries to do now with fear! He wants the earth to want him. Simple as that!
"Let every heart prepare Him room " yes every single individual heart to prepare him room inside your heart to just let him in. Just some room to let him come in your heart and mind and spirit. You don't have to do anything more then that. You don't have to clean up, straighten up, smarten up, nothing but let him in your heart, then he will slowly guide and teach and lead you to a better life inside you your heart no matter what the world throws at you. And all this he does for free ! no 19.95! Yes, this should be great news and bunches of joy to the world and you and me! All this if you only ask him in your mind to help you believe more in him and help you to be a more content and happier person. That my dear friend is what Christmas is all about, he has come and like a present to you sits and waits for you to accept him and find out what he is about just like a present sitting under the tree on Christmas morning when you are a kid running into the living room to see what "Santa" left for you !
Well ,have you guessed yet? I got a new wireless key board and mouse ! Yaa! I bet I'm the fastest two finger typist this side of the Mississippi ! Ha. I like getting things to play with, always have. I also received a new xbox game to play and something I have always wanted but never bought for myself, A good pair of binoculars. Also a nice soft pair of house shoes that feel so good, almost as good as this cup of steaming warm coffee going down. I also was able to give a few gifts that made people laugh and in turn made me laugh, Give a few that people happy as it was what they really wanted and enjoyed knowing they got them, which in turn made me happy also. I like being happy, don't you? I can't think of anything better.
I was with my family the other night celebrating Christmas and let me tell you we had the best time being together. Man it was great! Christmas music playing softly in the background, everyone talking and joking. We really should do that more than what we do but we don't. I don't know why either. Maybe I need to try and be a patriarch to my family and try and lead everyone to have family gatherings every once in a while for no other reason than to get together and kick back and kind of say" I'm glad to know you and be part of the same family" Yea , maybe so. maybe.

been laid up
Sorry but I've been really sick, hit me all the sudden , got really sleepy and stomach hurt, went to bed for next two days and didn't hardly eat or drink. Went to Dr. and they ran flue test, strip throat, xrays, blood count. Couldn't find anything so gave me zpack and tamiflue, I took them for two days and started felling better. Now I'm back to normal (for me.)
Did a little Christmas shopping in the 80 degree weather. That was nice. People are real nice and friendly now if you just say something to them first. I have fun doing that to strangers.
Bad thunderstorms went thru the area and made me miss my old fat buddy hound dog. I use to have to go get him and give him a hug and tell him I was there and we were ok. Missed doing that. It just don't seem fair to Love someone or a pet like a family member and when they pass on and leave you behind you still have the love for them inside you but you don't have them anymore. It just ain't fair. Someone said it is better to have loved and lost than to never have loved at all, I'm not sure if that's true , What is your take on it?

Web Design, or, Ughhhh! School!
This post is in response to :
http://alyssahandkasey.blogspot.com/2013/12/ughhhh-school.html Please read her's first.
First off , please forgive me but I admit I am a two finger typist and it takes forever to type anything this long but in my defense you need to know I really did help Noah build our ark and back then we didn't have any keyboards, just paper from tree bark and feathers off birds soaked in colored water made from squished plants. So I think I'm doing pretty darned good.
graphing calculator, what's up with that? Fingers and toes were always good enough for me, even after walking to and from school in the snow, barefoot, up hill both ways! But there is something I might be able to shed light on and help out rather than make excuses for myself so here goes.
So ok, I read where someone I love to pieces is having a bit of trouble in web design, I have some free time on my hands so I think, Hmmm I'll go and study up and try to offer help, Boy! The things you learn by studying something new ! I never knew that two were never alike, all I knew was when you walk into them at night (when you can't see them) , it looks like your having a conniption fit or spams or you all the sudden turned into a ninja and are attacking a horde of invisible bad guys to someone who happens to be nearby and sees you when you walk into it. I also learned by studying web design that I don't like looking at spiders in their web or anywhere else for that matter. Well , I'm going to do this anyway, I'm not to old to learn, so I took my black marker and made the spiders look kinda like a flower, did you know when you do that and then change pictures your drawings that made a spider look like a flower now make it look like a ugly spaceship is landing on my mountain screensaver and makes my daughter's picture look like she has a tattoo from Africa in the middle of her face? Anyone out there know how to remove felt marker drawings from a puter screen? Now I have more to learn.
I am giving up on web design as it is giving me the willies thinking of spiders crawling on me when I go to sleep, like creeping up on your arm or your daughters face .I just can't take it anymore. Boy the things you get into trying to help people who don't even know your trying to help.

kicking dust
Well here I am again, but I'm not kicking dust in the canyon wind waiting for that sun to go down. I just awoke and can't return to sleep at 3:30 am. made me a pot of decaf coffee and ck'd facebook and thought I would check the blogs. I could write about what happened over the thanksgiving holidays but really don't want to think that much or share it. Just kinda want to forget it. Sometimes your days all run together and then you get them where a bunch of stuff happens every day in a row and you want to just go back to the ordinary days for awhile.
I got upset the other night so to calm myself down I came up to my mancave and played guitar and sang. People were downstairs but I knew they were talking so I thought no one could hear me or was paying any attention. I was playing to myself and music tends to take my mind off whatever is troubling me. I don't know how it works but I know it works for me, and before long I was feeling much better thinking they can hurt me but they can't eat me. ( not the people downstairs but the one who called and upset me)Anyway, the next morning one of them told me they really enjoyed the music I made as they were sitting and listening to me. Farout! That made me feel good and I'm glad she mentioned it to me.
God answered a prayer bigger and better than I ever dreamed of the other day. Someone was facing a really hard time and the only thing I could do about anything connected with it was just be there and say some prayers for all connected and hope it worked out but I couldn't see any way it would be ok again. I was surprised big time ! It's been a long time since I thought God maybe really listened and did something for real. It was kinda like Auburn's last two football games. They were almost about to lose and in the last second , I mean literally last second ,something totally unexpected happens that never happens , but it did and they won both games. I never expected the problem to work out as good as it did, but it did, even better than I could have imagined. God answering prayer, who would have thunk it? Yea for good things !, Yea for nice warm coffee that taste good. Yea for you reading this also , and yes I read the ones you put up and enjoy hearing about what is going on in your life and head. Take care.
