I understand what you mean. I too started out as Baptist, then I attended a Nazarene church on my own as a young teenager. Left my home and moved in with my Grandma too. Loved the country. She is who taught me most everything I know.

Moved back home about 3 years later at age 17 to take care of my Mom who was dying of cervical or uterine cancer. Never knew exactly which one. She died at the age of 42. After that my life took different turns and I got married. I lost 2 babies at the age of 21. Then I lost my mind. Went into depression and severe anxiety/panic attacks. It was a living nightmare.

After some time passed with going to a psychiatrist and medication and staying 'drunk' for 2 months from morning until I passed out at night, I finally grabbed myself by my bootstraps and pulled myself out of it. Or should I say, "God did?" I told myself, "I was ME once, and I will be ME again." And that was all it took. I SPOKE IT.

After 26 years of marriage to my children's father I divorced him. He was no longer the man I married as he became an alcoholic and stopped working, leaving me holding the bag and supporting us all. His sister won a case of Canadian Mist whiskey at the Moose Lodge and gave all her brothers a bottle. My husband loved it and asked her for another. No longer would he drink the beer he used to, he became a wife abusing whiskey alcoholic. He started choking me and accusing me of things I hadn't done. Then he started sleeping with a knife under his side of the bed. It was hard to sleep with one eye open.

All my friends thought they were going to read my obit in the newspaper if I didn't leave him. So after about 3 years of fights and abuse (not good for my kids) God sent me a sign to leave. And I NEVER LOOKED BACK. It cost me about $12,000 dollars for that divorce, but it was well worth every cent. I know that's not a lot of money to some people, but it was a lot to me. And God helped me through it. I know God doesn't believe in Divorce as that is not part of his plan, but I believe he knows when something doesn't work. If I'd have stayed, I would most likely not be alive today.

So now I have my husband George who is a very decent man. He takes care of me and never tells me what I can or can't do. We attend a Christian Church that I believe God led us to. It is very family oriented and we take 3 of my/our Grandkids as George was with me when every grandkid I have was born, except for one when he had to go to Florida due to his Mother having a triple bypass. My exe husband NEVER went to the hospital when any of these grandkids were born. These kids look up at George as their Pappy and he enjoys every minute of it. Sorry this is long. I just wanted to show you that we're not that much different.

I posted those verses when you said I should do a prayer pod or something like that. I try not to pray like that as it is a mockery to God. I try (only) to pray on here when someone requests the need for prayer OR (I feel) there is a need for prayer. That is when you will see my written prayers on here.

And good for you that you took that to heart. You took a moment from your daily work and went into your 'prayer closet' and prayed. God bless you.

Are you sure you don't mean Mike Davis who was on WarRoom stating that exact same thing? I don't know a Mike Adams. Unless he's on Fox which I don't watch.

And the car didn't look too bad either. Tore the drivers side mirror off the outside and maybe a few scratches on the car, but it should still be drivable. The woman looked quite shaken up, but I would have been too. Good thing they were going down hill instead of coming uphill on my side of the road. It's a good 4 or 5 foot embankment before you get to the ditch. Not a good place to go off of, but a man in his pickup truck did and he kept it from turning over and drove it across the front of my yard until he got stuck. Then George had to pull him out. That was about 9 or 10 years ago. It's still snowing. Hope nothing else happens.

He finally got the car out. It took over an hour. It was really down in there.

A car slid off the road in front of my house. Really big ditch on that side. Roll back wrecker is trying to retrieve it. I'll bet it scared the man and his wife when they slid off in there. Everyone flies down this hill. But in this weather, they should slow down. This is the 4th vehicle that has slid off right here. 2 of which ended up in my yard. Snowing like crazy out here.

Biden, Jill, Kamala and Doug Emhoff on front row because they are the presiding President/Vice president.

Second row is Bill and Hillary, George and Laura, Obama , Trump and Melania.

Then the Vice Presidents to each but I think they were sitting randomly. Not sure but trying to remember.

Ready for the 5 to 6 inches of snow coming. I know that's not much to some people, but it wreaks havoc when you're in the country and can't get out of your driveway. Husband and I went to fill up 2 remaining gas cans as he rotates and uses them on occasion to keep the gas from getting old. Ready in case we have to use a generator. Then decided to stop at Walmart to get some hot cocoa mix for him. Geez! what a crowd of people. You'd think a blizzard was coming. Hardly nothing on the shelves. We had a hard time finding a parking spot. No shopping carts which we didn't need anyway. It was a nightmare as all the checkouts were full.

You got out just in time. This Polar Vortex hopefully will move out and we should have a little warmer weather. But then again, who knows.

They're getting huge amounts of Adrenochrome if you ask me.

Amen. The snow delayed but will arrive around 7 Am. That's about 50 minutes away. It's 27 F right now. We are proclaimed to get about 5 or 6 inches.
