It's a shame the world got this way with scammers. But it's good to be aware that there are scammers, and that they often take alot of money from gullible, lonely people. The lady in the video in post one had children and grandchildren. And she gave over half a million to that scammer...

P.S. I only watched Dr. Phil a bit. Most of those times were the romance scammers. Phil would send or hire local investigators to go to the sites where the scammers would tell the women they were living, etc. One time the investigator found an empty storefront where the woman was mailing...

The last half of the above video explains how the scammers operate....first half is the woman victim's story. In the video, apparently the Nigerian scammer looked up some innocent older man on the Internet. He then used the facts and some photos of the guy's life. This particular YouTube...

I believe in forgiving when people might do wrong to me. Forgive and move on. Likewise, I believe we should be willing to forgive ourselves if we should fall or fail in some way. We need to remember the Lord has forgiven us and loves us....so we should think upon that, rather than...

J.C. Philpot is a good writer.... "Behold, we count them happy which endure. You have heard of the patience of Job, and have seen the end of the Lord; that the Lord is very pitiful, and of tender mercy."--James 5:11 The words translated "endure" and "patience" are the same in the original; and...

This is quite funny....weird products! Watch for the strange sodas and the cat tissue dispenser!

I'm always amazed at how some people start sending money so easily to someone they have never met. Especially people that meet someone at dating sites. This woman gave a romance scammer over $500,000! Even sold her home to do that. She had an audio of his voice. Even I could detect the...

A really good post. I heard some time ago about these strange preachers in Africa....where some were even charging money for praying for someone. Really sad, crazy. Some Christians (everywhere) get off to a bad start in their spiritual life because of these lopsided teachings. They only...

I always thought of the above as meaning we do not take revenge on another who attacks us. Sometimes it can be an attack of words....so we simply ignore their words, do not respond in an antagonistic manner. Also, we can remember that the Lord will deal with the person.

I recall you said you hadn't done anything related to ministry for a couple of years now. But maybe you talk with people in your daily life, talking to your neighbors.

I was in Indonesia years ago while in the travel field. A local told me about a shop across the street where disabled people carved items. Then they sold the items in the shop to make an income. I wanted to buy something from them since they were trying to be self-sufficient, but the shop...

Thanks, I'll be looking forward to the news. I think you will feel better, too, once you are applying yourself to some work. You can still do ministry, meeting people you sell to.

You are getting me hungry with all of these pics of good food! Btw, what is happening with the chickens? Also, have you planted any Hollyhocks? They are so beautiful. Some lovely hot pink ones were growing by our apartment building steps. The gardeners cut them down to the ground. Maybe...

The past five or so days mom hasn't been eating as well. Also, it's always an effort to get her to drink. Last night she fell as I was taking her into her bed. She got her walker caught on a rug and I couldn't hold her up from behind. So I had to call the firemen to pick her up from the...

If I don't really need it, I don't buy it. :) Unless something is really necessary, "things" just become burdens as you age. Maybe it's different if you have children to leave some things to. But sometimes even your children don't want the stuff! :D

Good topic. Alot of good thoughts here.

Glad he got the care!

The above is what I was trying to encourage Mel (My Dreams) to do. Start a business so he can provide for his family....as the scripture says a person should do. I would be very glad if he would make that step, even into a simple business such as selling vegetables. Mel, let us know when...

Call the police again. Tell them everything you mentioned above. Praying everything is okay.

Some areas did get flooded and some had terrible mudslides. I think mainly the desert or inland areas. I'm in the Basin (heart of Los Angeles)....we got three inches of rain in one day!!! That's really a lot for us.... unheard of. I couldn't have gone out as our gutters get totally...
