There is No Predicting Rapture

So they all say that the world is going to end on Saturday, May 21st which is today..Or not quite end, but be the day of RAPTURE...well...Nobody knows that day except for God...so here is a poem in tribute to the day of RAPTURE.....

_______________________________

There is No Predicting Rapture

There will come a day when we may have to choose,

or the day, that God will take all of those who believe to heaven

Nobody can guess the exact day, time or date…

It’s up to God, who gets to go through that gleaming pearly gate.

Many will try to foretell the future,

And tell us when they think God will come back again,

But time and time again, it is our Lord who will prove them wrong and win.

If you believe in the holy spirit, there is no reason to fear,

As long as you believe, God will always be near.

Nobody can predict a rapture or the end of days…
It’s up to God, and how he decides how we all should part ways…

Somewhere up above, there’s a heaven waiting for all of those who believe

A place, where we will never have to feel alone, or have to leave…
A place full of hope, forgiveness and love
It’s a place called heaven

Way up above the trees…

 So to all of those crazy fortune seekers…

Quit predicting the day of rapture…please…

Vegetable and Flower Gardening

I spent a good portion of my day working out in the garden yesterday. Well-my vegetable garden that is. 


There had been so many days of rain, that I hadn't got a chance to get most of it planted yet. I was able to put out some tomatoes, lettuce, cabbage and banana pepper plants. Some strawberry plants were already growing in my garden, and I hope at some point that I will have some delicious juicy red strawberries soon!


Besides vegetable gardening, I also enjoy planting flowers. While annuals are very pretty and provide lots of color, I do like to plant perennials too. Perennials will come back year after year if you plant them just right. This way, you can ensure that you will always have pretty flowers blooming come spring time.


Most perennials will stick around till fall or the first frost. This is one reason that I love them so much. You don't have to continually plant flowers to keep your yard looking colorful.


If you are interested in planting some perennials in your flower garden, here is list of 5 perennials that you can include in yours:

Getting Help with Summer Utility : LIHEAP SUMMER COOLING

In my area, the temperature can jump around. 


One week, we may find ourselves nearing 80 degrees. Within a day's notice, day-time temperatures can drop back down to the 50's and 60's-of course that is what you call Illinois weather. Unpredictable.


But once summer comes around, our electric bills can take a beating. On hot and humid days, we have our A/C's and central air units running. While they are running, the numbers on our meters just keep on spinning. Somewhere in the back of our minds, we are hearing the "Ca-ching" bell sounding or imagining the hole in our wallet growing bigger...


If you are a senior, have children under 3 in your household or are on disability, you may be eligible for the Summer LIHEAP Program. This often runs in the month of July. To find out if your area is offering it, contact your local outreach agency or community center. Seniors can contact their nearest senior center to question them too.


For households that don't meet these qualifications, you can try to keep your home cooler so that you don't have to let your electric bills sky-rocket. 


Get creative and try some ways so that you can conserve energy to lower your electricity bills. On hot and humid days, keep your blinds and curtains closed. Use ceiling fans to rotate the air. Set your thermostat at one temperature so that your unit does not continue to run. Try setting it to temperatures between 70 and 72. Also, stay hydrated and drink plenty of water! Use ice packs to place on parts of your body that are warm. Or --go jump in a pool somewhere to cool off. If you don't want to use your own electricity, go to the mall and hang out there where it will be nice and cool-or perhaps the library. 


If you are really having trouble with your utility bills, try speaking with the customer representatives and be honest about your situation. Tell them why you are having trouble (such as unexpected car repairs, medical bills or you have been laid off from work). Most commonly, if you have always been good about making payments, they will work with you on a payment plan. The worst that you can do is ignore the electric company. Be upfront and honest, and they just might work with you...

Money Saving Tips

In today's economy, many individuals are finding themselves without a job, we are using about half of the money in our wallets to pay for gas and we are struggling to pay the grocery bill. It's getting plain hard to live and families are having to come up with creative ways to save and earn money. 


More and more, we are finding ourselves pinching and putting back every penny that we can. Some of us are deciding whether cable television is really that important, how many cell phone minutes do we really need? and creating menus to try to use all of the food that we have at home before heading to the grocery store. 


I wrote an article awhile back titled, "How to Save Money While You are on a Budget,"(CLICK THE TITLE TO READ MORE) and the advice that I listed is something that you can still incorporate into your daily life. Learn about some of the ways that you can save money, so that you can still afford to pay the rent, your mortgage, groceries , the utility bill and transportation...If you are lucky-you might have a little bit of money left over!....

The Old Days of the Cassette Player

Back in the day, I remember using my portable cassette player or walkman. I used to sit on my bed or at my desk while listening to myfavorite tunes. Some of those cassettes included music that I recorded straight off of the radio, the Spice Girls and Paula Abdul. When visiting music stores, I'd search for the latest single on tape, and buy it so that I could play it on my walk-man or in my boom-box...  Those days just seem like yesterday. Stored away in an old shoe-box, I still have some old cassettes-and they still play in an old stereo that I have. 


While you can hardly find cassettes anymore (unless you visit a garage sale or antique shop), they are nice memories of my childhood to hang onto. Of course, if you talk to my parents, their cassettes were their 8-tracks....   As I had no idea what an 8-track was, my daughter really didn't know what a cassette tape was!...


So in celebration of the old walk-man, and those good ole' days of listening to tapes, you can find an article that I contributed to EggnChips.... Click on the link below to read it..
