Prisoner in my own home?

Thanks FS for making me a prisoner in my own home for two days.
You say it is not harmful? Well, I have googled it, it is a chemical, and per say said chemical makes my eyes burn and my nose burn and water and makes me cough. Gave me a super sized head ache, of which I have not had head aches for ages. And has made me stay inside due to the foul smell.
I know they put that stinky stuff in propane so we know if we have a leak! Dumb guy why were you not more careful when you sett hat tank next door? Did you have to spill the stuff then not clean it up until we complained?
Yes, I did stand inside my back window and watched what you did to try and clean it up a bit better since both the landlady and I complained. I don't normally complain, but if I was going to have to live amidst this smell very long I would have to move!
I ask the landlady to stop by and see me as i needed to talk to her, she was not here over ten minutes and she went back home light headed and dizzy from the stuff. Yet its not harmful? Maybe you best look it up on line and get the EPA 's story about if it is toxic or not.

The wind so graciously carried that smell right over us. And you didn't even have the decency to clean it up better when you did it or at least report what you did to the owners of the property? Shame on you!

Shunning?

I read a blog about the amish man who wanted to learn to drive a car and how this gal was helping him. And know that if he pursues it into the future he will be shunned by the Amish church.

Then I remember Pastor Gerry praying at the end of the service, asking God to send us the unsaved, the gays the prostitutes, those with aids, and all kinds of faults, and let us love them and not be prejudice or judging them.

Who are we to judge other people? It is not our place to judge, that is up to God! We are to love. Unconditionally!

This morning a friend in New York had a posting about gays and homosexuality. There was quite a discussion about it. Can they be saved? Will they be able to go to heaven. And it too reminded me that we are not to judge!

In visiting a friend in the assisted living place we got into a discussion about life in general and judging people. She spoke of how hard it is for her to really believe that her husband was saved before he passed away. We know he prayed the prayer, and she said her children said they saw a difference, yet it is hard for her, because she knows how abusive he was verbally to those around him, time and time again. She had lived with his abuse for many years and had never told what was going on in the home. She buffered the abuse so the kids did not get the brunt of it while they were living at home. Yet the pain he caused her was unbelievable! And yet she too said "but,I am not to judge him, perhaps he did see things much differently when I got sick and he was removed from the house since he couldn't. Take care of himself"

So shunning people who do not think and act the way we think they should,? Well I think God wants us to love them regardless and leave things in his hands!

Whys. That keep coming up

Have you ever ask yourself. "WHY?"
Why do things always seem to go wrong?
Here are some of the Why's that have run thru my mind lately.
Why does cancer have to rear its face and make life difficult with those who have little ones? And with teen agers? Vicky it just isn't fair that you are battling stage four breast cancer! Your young sons need you! How can you stay so strong and positive as they find it more and more places?

Why do some marriages fail? And you never saw it coming? Why is it that friends have to hide what they are really going thru and not reach out for help? Don't know what I could have done to change it, but perhaps someone could have. Why do their children blame others for what their parents are doing and why do they try and not see the abuse? I was told they saw things time and time again, but it was never talked about. Why do kids and inlaws turn on the parent who finally says. I have had enough, I will take no more abuse? You say it has been a loveless marriage for years, why is it then so hard to come to an agreement on things as you split up?
I cannot imagine living in the same house with someone who refuses to speak to me.
How my friend do you do it? And why?

Why do plans never pan out?
You can plan on wanting to do things and they somehow just never work out the way you want them to.


Why does someone who has helped people all his life now have to be in a burn unit in such pain? Fighting for his own life and hoping to keep at least one leg.

Someone who has always been very active, now be bound in a wheel chair with a Disease that will soon take her life? Leaving her totally paralyzed and dependent on others for everything.

Why is it so hard to plan meals?
Loose weight?
Manage finances?
Get a good nights sleep?


The whys we cannot answer, but have to turn them over to God and let him take care of things. There are probably more, these are just a few that have been running rapid in my head lately.

Sometimes they have been keeping me awake at night. It is hard to just throw them up in the air and say. "Here God---- you are up all night anyway. You take them! You know all the whys anyway".

I am sure God has a purpose for everyhing. With his help we shall live one day at a time and try not dwell on the why's.
