Please Tell Me!
My favorite part of the Fall Season is the changing and falling of the leaves. The brisk air is amazing too.
Now it's your turn, what is your favorite part?

Love
"A house is made with walls and beams; a home is built with love and dreams."
Ralph Waldo Emerson
"Love is the expression of simplicity in emotion, the unattainable longing that comes so unexpectedly, with great subtlety and bliss."
Luen Dao
"Because when we love, we always strive to become better than we are."
Paulo Coelho in The Alchemist
"We all want to fall in love. Why? Because that experience makes us feel completely alive. Where every sense is heightened, every emotion is magnified, our everyday reality is shattered and we are flying into the heavens. It may only last a moment, and hour, an afternoon. But that doesn't diminish its value. Because we are left with memories that we treasure for the rest of our lives."

Must Read!
Dear Friend:
This past Tuesday, the McCain / Palin Bus came through a
little town called, Lebanon , Ohio . The LORD allowed me to go to the
Rally giving them a message that He wanted me to personally deliver.
Sunday Night - a burden hit me that would only shake me
to my knees - I prayed and wept for our Nation. Never has my heart been
so broken before God. I literally interceded for these wonderful people
who do not deserve all the hate against them. . .
Monday and into Monday Night - the burde n of prayer was
so heavy that I was literally shaking and could not stop weeping. ( I
didn't know that they were coming to Ohio .) I prayed and walked and
wept and walked. . . . on and on.
Tuesday at 2:00 A.M. - God spoke these words to me - "Go
turn the Radio on!" Immediately the Reporter's Words were - "McCain &
Palin Bus to be in Lebanon later this morning for a 10:00 A.M. Rally!"
Immediately on hearing that news, I heard God again...
God said, "You are to go. You will meet them and give
them a message for Me!"
. . . . .I didn't stop praying until I drove over to the
town and parked the car. The News would later report they were
expecting 5,000 people and the actual head-count of those who had been
scanned was more than 10,000 people.
I simply obeyed...and God actually told me where to
stand, who to talk to...and when to be on the move. . . . and even
those standing beside you may just be an Angel.
I struck up a conversation with an agent on the ground -
he simply said, "I can't allow you to stand here!" Here is where the
bus was going to actual pull up They had to make a much larger
perimeter so the entire area was now being moved back several blocks. .
. . He told me to go through the metal detector zone and just watch from
the back. So, that's what I did.
Looking over the shoulders and backs and heads
of all those people...I knew it would take a miracle for what GOD told
me to do.
As I was standing there, two Boy Scouts came running
up my back...literally, they almost knocked me to the ground because
they were running so fast behind me.... . Their Scout Leader and
several smaller boys were behind them...but as the first two were trying
to push through the crowd, saying they were late...the smaller scouts
were left in their dust. The Scout Leader who was with a McCain Rep
from the State grabbed me a nd told me to bring the other Scouts up
front as they continued to push through.
As the Rep was shouting back at me......the people
parted just like God parted the Red Sea.! When I got there I was
fifteen feet from the podium. GOD said, "Stand here, and don't move
from this spot."
Within five minutes...the bus pulled up and around the
other side McCain, Sarah Palin and her husband Todd stepped up and the
speeches took off . I was where God placed me...and even Sarah Palin
and Todd were standing on my side of the stage. I made eye contact, I
gave them thumbs up gestures...and I knew they were just happy to see me
standing there. Ha Ha
. . . . .A little lady who stood by me, reached up and
told the Rep that they had promised a picture with her because she was
the one who had lost a son in Iraq , recently. The Rep confirmed she
would get a picture with them and they would talk to her. When McCain
came to hug her... he immediately shook my hand and following his moment
with her, I shook his hand . . . . I said, "God wants you to know that
I'm praying for you, Sir!" He thanked me and kept smiling. I repeated
that phrase to him five times! He grabbed my hands and looked right
into my eyes and said, "I won't make it without prayer. Sir, Thank
You for praying for me, and don't let one day go by that you don't pray
for me. I need all the prayers that I can get. Thank you, Thank you,
Thank you!"
As he moved to my right, Sarah Palin, came over to my
left side...standing over the crowd and then looking at the little lady
who had lost the son. . . . Sarah came and got on her hands and knees
on that side of the stage and hugged that little Mom, telling her,
"...it was not in vain.. . . . . .
It was at this moment Sarah Palin, reached out for me to
help her up and as I was assisting her to stand I was now face to face
with her and GOD said, "Open up your Mouth and I will
fill it."
Here is what came out...
"God wants you to know that you are a present day
Esther!"
[She immediately began to cry]!
"God wants to tell you that you are Chosen for such a
time as this!" "You are called, and chosen to be a leader." "Don't lose
heart and don't fear man." "The news and nay-sayers and criticizers are
going to be very hateful toward you... and in the days ahead they are
going to turn up the heat...but do not fear."
"You are a present day Esther." You are an Esther.
You are an Esther! "Keep your eyes on GOD and know that He has chosen
you to Reign!" "Stay strong...be strong...don't tire. Don't be weary
in well-doing. Be strong."
Her husband Todd came over and I told him what I told
her. He began to cry. I emphasized the fact that he was to guard her
at this time...and know that "...she is GOD-CALLED and GOD-ANOINTED."
...this is a GOD-THING and your wife is a Present day Esther...she is
for God to use at this time...She is an Esther...she is an Esther...she
is an Esther." You will be hated...but stand strong...GOD has called
both of you to stand!" "We are praying and I am praying for you...!"
At this moment, McCain came right to where I was
finishing talking to Todd and I told Mr. McCain exactly what I told to
Sarah and Todd Palin.
"Mr. McCain, ...they are called of God and she is an
Esther." "Don't lose hope and don't lose heart." We are praying for
all of you!"
He shook my hand and with a deep look of understanding
what I had just said, he said, "Thank you for your prayers and
support...I really do mean that!" And he turned and shook more
hands...and I watched them as they went through the crowd.
When I got to my car I sat there for quite a long
time...knowing the GOD of the Universe had just used me to deliver a
message confirming to Sarah and Todd to realize they are truly chosen
vessels of God.
I wept. I have not stopped praying and crying. My
heart is full knowing they had to have all the staging and all the hype
and all the crowd...but the GOD of Heaven and Earth...wanted to give
them a Divine-God-Appointment!
To God be all the GLORY and HONOR. Do you want to
know if I believe God can speak. Yes...Absolutely!
Burdened for all of our Leaders!

McCain or Obama?
ABC has a test at the below address to see who's campaign statements
- McCain's or Obama's - you agree with most. They don't tell you who
made the statements, but a statement made by each candidate on the
same topic (economy, immigration, judiciary, etc.) will be side by side.
You just pick which statement you agree with and, after selecting all 13,
you'll find out which candidate's philosophy you support.

I love you- Anonymous poem off of IGoogle
I love you. It's not a weight you must carry around.
I love you. It's not a box that holds you in.
I love you. It's not a standard you have to bear.
I love you. It's not a sacrifice I make.
I love you. It's not a pedestal you are frozen upon.
I love you. It's not an expectation of perfection.
I love you. It's not my life's whole purpose (or your's).
I love you. It's not to make you change.
I love you. It's not even to make you love me.
I love you. It's as pure and simple as that.
