    Bookie, I sort of admire anyone with blind faith but I have to be honest and say I don't think it's realistic. You are not remotely bad!!!

    It was all about not worrying and trusting in God to provide. I know it is right and the core of my belief but I still worry non-stop. Guess that makes me bad.:confused:

    Going to back read the smut now.

    I think its human nature bookie whether you believe or not. I am a firm believer in what will be will be...sometimes things happen for a reason

    It's a kind of squash, like a pumpkin. Makes a gorgeous soup and can be used to make 'pumpkin pie'

    God helps those who help themselves - opportunities are presented, but they must be taken. Worrying is part of being responsible for yourself.


    A farmer is in Iowa during a flood. The river is overflowing, with water surrounding the farmer's home up to his front porch. As he is standing there, a boat comes up, The man in the boat says "Jump in, I'll take you to safety."

    The farmer crosses his arms and says stubbornly, "Nope, I put my trust in God."

    The boat goes away. The water rises to the second floor. Another boat comes up, the man says to the farmer who is now in the second story window, "Jump in, I'll save you."

    The farmer again says, "Nope, I put my trust in God."

    The boat goes away. Now the water is up to the roof. As The farmer stands on the roof, a helicopter comes over, and drops a ladder. The pilot yells down to the farmer "I'll save you, climb the ladder."

    The farmer says "Nope, I put my trust in God."

    The helicopter goes away. The water comtinues to rise and sweeps the farmer off the roof. He drowns.

    The farmer goes to heaven. God sees him and says "What are you doing here?"

    The farmer says "I put my trust in you and you let me down."

    God says, "What do you mean, let you down? I sent you two boats and a helicopter!!!"
