Hang a Christmas stocking for Jesus

In a small rural town lies a humble church that has survived over 100 years in Chiles, Kansas. Once a thriving community a fire destroyed this town and now all that is left is a few homes and a strong church that has about 50 members. This church remains strong because of the Christian people that keep the word of Jesus alive and carry the message to others. This small and humble church is an inspiration that Jesus is a live in even the smallest places.

This year I am encouraging Christians to hang an extra stocking with all the rest just for Jesus. This should help us remember that this is a holiday to celebrate his birth. In this stocking encourage your family to write a note of what Jesus has done for each family member this year. Have the children pick out a bible verse or tell a story from the Bible.

This stocking should be the most important stocking in your home. Children need to learn it is better to give than receive. Make this a new family tradition. Before you open gifts and enjoy the day remind your children that Christmas would not have been if it was not for Jesus. Sometime throughout the day or on Christmas eve tell a story about the baby in the manger with no crib for a babe. The little lord Jesus asleep in the hay.

Just as this small church survives the name of Jesus lives on. We need him more and more in our lives everyday as our country has been blessed only because of our belief in the Lord. I fear that a Holy War has began and our beliefs need to be strong. Christians are taught to love one another but there is a time that we need to fight to hold on to this freedom of religion.

Our strength will come from the Lord if we keep our faith in him. Do not fear to tell others about Jesus because he is alive and will come soon. Be prepared and spread the word that Jesus is alive

Wall street protesters GIVE IT UP

I have faith in Jesus and all that he stands for. Being able to have total faith means no question that he existed and is taking care of me even when I am not aware of it. He always has taken care of me and answered my prayers. I see his miracles everyday and I hope you do to. I pray for those who do not know Jesus and have faith as you need all the help you can get.

I am thankful to be an American, to be free to express myself. Freedom also brings about responsibility. We all are adults and should be quite aware that we all have different opinions. This is what makes our country unique. To protest is to make known your opinion in a peaceful and organized manner. This I listen to and change my mind if I decide to.

To all the Wall Street Protesters: Are you adults or children that are not getting your way? Are you just having some fun which is really causing and inner destruction of our country. You are a misleading as you are not the majority of real Americans? We are working hard to build our country and you are hell bent on destroying it.

Quit acting like immature spoiled rotten brats that cannot get your way. Go back to school or work or whatever it is that you do.  You are being used to further Obama's New World Order and you can't see the forest for the trees. You are wasting your time and mine. You made your point now let it go.

You have taught me that I do not believe in your ideas and you will not change my mind. You have especially made me realize that you are being used and brainwashed for purposes that you will never understand. STOP making America look stupid and immature.

Kelly Says, "You are not being listened to anymore and your protest is a waste of time now and getting old. Move on and do something that will help our country. Use your energy to create a better America! Sorry if the truth hurts as I know that you thought that you were helping."

E-mail Marketing Is Evolving

Scanning through my 123 new e-mails today even before noon my delete button is getting faded from all the use. E-mail marketing has evolved recently to the point that they come to you. They now fill your in-box with many sales, services and products that  encourage you to buy something.

How I got on this massive e-mail marketing list is a mystery to me or is it?. Making one purchase on-line or inquiring about information on a product and they have your e-mail.Visit a site and they have your IP address. It really is getting easier to obtain your e-mail and marketers will do anything to sell you something.  .

Things are looking up in making money from home. I am writing articles and it takes time and effort but it is rewarding as well. Self discipline and persistence are required but it is beginning to pay off. Living life requires money and hard work so don't believe in the "too good to be true" scams promising you riches without having to work because there is no magic button.

I have yet to earn a living from free blogging but perseverance has taught me a lot. I am grateful for not buying the first making money on-line product that sounded good. If my hard earned money was included in this so-called honest Guru sells page of his large Clickbank's account I would be guilty of promoting this type of marketing that needs to stop..

Miracles do occur and keeping the faith that their are honest people in the making money on-line industry it can be possible. It is the honest people that need to stop the dishonest marketers by not purchasing their products until you do extensive research. If I realize a honest way to make money on-line I will tell you how upfront before purchasing the product. How does free without any conditions sound?

Kelly Says, I will never send you an e-mail encouraging you to purchase anything. Together we will stop dishonest marketing tactics.

Living At 50 And Being Happy

In today's world 50 is considered very old to most kids ages 14-25. In the working world you are easily replaced. With the law in Kansas which is called "at will" any employer has the right to fire or let you go for no reason at all. This law does not help anything.

With the economy and unemployment rate so high there are just not enough jobs to go around. How do you survive at the age of 50? I could complain about many like being let go for silly reasons after working 6 1/2 years for a company that I put my heart into. Instead I am trying to remain positive even with the possibility of losing all I worked for due to unemployment.

I have ran out of unemployment and the world can really be scary today but worrying has got me nothing but health issues which I cannot afford at all. Over the next few weeks I will be pushing onward to obtain employment or trying to make a living. I will let you know the ups and downs of my endeavors. At the job center I have seen many people around 50 or older being the people still seeking employment.

The days of your employer keeping you because of your dedication in helping them achieve success are gone. There is a way to survive all of this and keep everything you have worked hard to keep. Where there is a will there is a way. And not to offend anyone but a belief and faith in a higher power is my way of letting go of anger and moving forward.

Together we will make these the best years of our lives as we are the majority being on the bottom end of the baby boom. You will get encouragement, inspiration and if I can find employers that seem to hire youngsters like us that enjoy strong work ethics I will let you know.

Kelly Says, Keep the faith and stay young at heart and 50 and older will be an exciting challenge.

OUT WITH THE OLD AND IN WITH THE NEW

The past is gone and the new year brings new hopes of a better year. Some things still will linger into the new year such as being unemployed but with faith all will be well. It is a good time to begin to think about what your New Years Resolutions will be. Some of the things on my list will be trying to stop smoking as I cannot afford it and my health becomes more important with age.

The next item on my list is to strengthen my faith in people and even more so in myself. Faith seems easier to have when all is going well in your world but not when you are facing the New Year with the same problems. I believe that this year will require a lot more faith due to our economy and the problems that face us as a country.

Worrying never accomplished anything so this year I want to be more grateful. As long as I can wake up everyday and feel that I tried my best yesterday I have nothing to regret tomorrow. Changing the way you think is a process that takes time. When you have been hurt in the past by a mean old person that totally rearranged your life in some form or another you have to learn forgiveness. To forgive is growth and all the effort you put into learning to forgive gives you new strength to handle obstacles in the future. 

If you read any of my articles you can tell by one article about "Mini Hitlers" that I had a bad experience with a boss. Today even though I am unemployed I am grateful to her for letting me out of the prison in my mind. Their are many good people in the world and I am sure that I will find a new employer that will restore my faith in bosses. "OUT WITH THE OLD AND IN WITH THE NEW" as the saying goes. Happy New Year to all of you and it will be a great one.

Kelly Says, COMING SOON SOMETHING NEW AND DIFFERENT SO STAY TUNED.
