    Bot, this thread has 7 pages that have been filled with answers for you.  You have been given Scripture to address each and every question you asked.  The questions weren't answered with our own words but with God's very own authority to His very inspired word.  You highly esteem God, why would you not see and hear His very truth and path that He has chosen to reveal to us the path to eternal life?  If you believe God then one must surrender to His will and not our own or other mere man's.  The Bible is His truth and that is where we/you can find the answers to your 54 questions.  Why ask when the answers are just a glimpse away for you to behold.?  If you really want to know then put down you nwt and watchtower and pick up the Bible.......we can't make you want to read and know the truth, that's on you.  I feel we have adequately provided the seed now it's up to you and in God's hand.  I also will be praying for ya.

    I lost my F-i-L 2 year ago and inherited my M-i-L who I think is going down that road also. 

    My condolences to you. It is only our belief in our heavenly Father that our loved ones are in a better

    place dancing and singing with Jesus and the angels.

  4. Thank you Tankdude you hold a special place in my heart, again thank for doing this for me.  

     

    Sorry been busy with adjusting to all that has been going on these past 3 years.  Losing a brother-ln-law, a sweet brother, my father and now my mother, it all seems so unreal, but in reality very real.  The heartache of losing my mother did take a toll on me, maybe cause I really didn't get to grieve all the others before, along with needed rest.  

    When my Dad passed away, (it will be 3 years this August), I had too, along with my other siblings jump in and care for my mother who at the time was already traveling the road with Dementia. It's a very sad illness to witness, to care for a love one that eventually loses their memory of their lives and all who are close to them.  We became her caregivers, someone she trusted to be around her.  She no longer saw us as her daughters or sons, she no longer could tell us our names, we were treated like visitors, she hid her subtle changes as best she could, but I could see her decline in the illness,  one thing for sure, she never lost her love for her GOD. 

    Don't get me wrong this illness brought a lot of good too, such as patience, compassion, playfulness, learning and listening at their pace, but most importantly taking care of yourself as a caregiver was vital.  I had to at one time step away from her care and get rest.  Know this for sure, this is a 24/7 roller coaster emotional journey if you are a caregiver to a love one.  My mother was the most bravest women I know, and her determination to be her! was victorious.  

     

    Thank you all for all your kind words of strength and love!

  5. She has been found!!!!

    Thank you all for your prayers.  She is home safe..  As you all know Alzheimer individuals suffer a great deal of their memory lost, confusion, and so much more.   She just experienced a catastrophic event, which she will never recover.  Most likely it just progressed her illness.  

    Again thank you all for your sweet blessed support.  

    Now my attention will return to my dear mother who as well is a dementia individual.  All we can do is love, comfort and hold their hands through this process of literally dying before you.  Her one of the many lines she recites to us and she shares with the family, and most likely be the last memory is "God is good to her." 

    God's Blessing be poured upon each and everyone of you!!!:angel:

    MISSING-765x510.jpg

    A short time ago Harris County responded to the Kroger at Cypresswood and SH 249 area for a welfare check. They have now located Ms. Gray who was missing from River Plantation. She had last been seen at her home on Friday afternoon but it was unknown when she actually left her home. Her husband who had to go out of town returned to her missing and notified the Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office. A search started which included the Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office, Montgomery County Search and Rescue, Caney Creek Fire Department and Montgomery County Precinct 2 Constables. Ms. Gray is now being returned to Montgomery County. The family wishes to thank all who were involved in her safe return.

  6. My last post, and what better way to depart, its time for me to move on.  

    EagleEye and LadyGrace'sDaddy, you both are bringing the fire, and the lights are being lit.  Continue to do what God has chosen for you to do. . You can not fail with God on your side.  Souls need you, souls yearn for His word, souls need to be saved.  I place my hand upon you in the name of Jesus to Bless you and protect you in your journey. You will be persecuted, but you carry the Love of Christ deep, that persecution is just a speck of what Christ endured for us. Christ is your armament, prayer is your weapon.  Gather us all toward our loving Lord, bring Christ back into our homes, lives, and public life. I will be behind the scene praying for each and everyone.... Be Blessed...Patty

    beauty is inversely proportionate to intelligence.

    Thanks Muleslayer...Well stated!!!

    She is an artificial blonde, her acting is artificial, so her reality in thinking is twisted.  All these hollowierdo's and athlete's should put their money where their mouth is and donate some of their earnings to those in need.  President Trump did, Texan JJ Watts created his own charity, you think more of these actors and actresses would. They just want to come up with some scientific excuse for why things are happening ... If so then we would not need the useless agency's out there who takes our hard earn income to support their personal deeds.  Watch who you donate too.

  9. The guardian has nothing to do but to cause strife with the American people, what a misleading Title.... sure everyone needs the dreamers, for the money, for their vote, for their cheap labor and what ever else you can think of.  The problem is, the dreamers are here illegally,  get it through your thick head,  their parents broke the law, and if now some are adults, they've broken the law of this land.  They've had plenty of time to make it right!!!!  Make it right dreamers, and quit your whining.

  10. B/A you really shouldn't have a signature as Whack job, because people will take you serious at one point. 

     

    Isn't that how your liberal  government works in creating chaos, panic situations no matter what big event is happening .  See if they don't push the climate change agenda, they make no money $$$, and aren't you against money making agency's...Al Gore. 

     

    Rush Limbaugh was for getting people out of harms way, the media wanted to twist it to their agenda of conspiracy, climate change.  Once again you fell for another twisted author.

    Asking for clarity is combative?  It's your post, not mine... your responsibility, not mine... your accountability, not mine.

    So, you've answered my question about native Americans... thank you.  You could have simply posted what you meant in your first post, instead of assuming everyone knows your meaning.  

    But, maybe this is why you didn't... you didn't think it through and go deep enough...

     

    Our ancestors could not have possibly come to America "illegally"... there was no legal grounds or formation to do so.  No one owned this land... and certainly not the natives... as they don't even believe in land ownership.  There was no governmental entity... no laws... but simply ongoing "territorial" grabs and continual border disputes, until claims were formalized and legally recognized by other countries... after battles and wars!  This was going on in ALL newly discovered parts of the world... 

     

    Even native Americans migrated here at one time in history, from other parts of the continent... AND, the tribes battled each other... even when Europeans were here.  

     

    The world evolves... through the spread of civil society.  Either the native Americans participate, or their culture diminishes... their choice.

     

    B/A... I'm a bit surprised at your perspective on this, as I thought you were an evolved, freedom loving capitalist business owner.  if you have so much guilt toward being an American, or even a perceived "illegal alien", as you've qualified yourself... why are you living in America, enjoying the spoils of your ancestors?

    Such clarity Jax,  if she doesn't get it, she's in a deep hole of denial.

  13. Got you covered on  the prayers MIT, asking Our Sweet Lord to send a thousand angels in your direction. After going through with Harvey, its a heavy burden/ heart, now going through with Irma, have a nephew in Tampa, with two small children.  Haven't heard from him on his plans, just praying for the best for all you Floridans.  Stay safe everyone, don't wait for the last minute.  :praying: :praying:

    Not to open a can of worms or anything..."But"...if you live on the coast...and there is always the possibility of a storm coming...yes, how intense that storm may be varies I understand that!  ...but we who have lived in the upper Midwest prepare for blizzards and cold like nobodies business!  I've lived thru -60 below twice, and have seen 36" of snow at one time, and some whopper tornado's to boot (Wisconsin had a  F3-F4 stay on the ground for 84 miles this past year).  Yup, I know hurricanes are different, but unlike Tornado's you have more time to prepare!  Take the Boy Scout motto..."Be Prepared"!  If you aren't prepared to ride it out then get out...if it's too dangerous to ride out then get out...how hard is that? :confused2: And don't be indecisive like most Americans who procrastinate like all the other sheeple's til the very last minute when it's too late... think for your self please.  You have a responsibility to protect your family...don't expect the gubberment to do it all for you! :facepalm3: Have a bug out bag ready if you live on the coast and use it if you have to.  There is always someone away from the shore who will take you in if you can't afford a hotel.  Being macho and sayin'..."Grandpa never left so I'll be damned if I'm gonna leave" could just be the craziest most dangerous thing you'll ever do.  First off we build houses too cheap these days...the big bad wolf could easily blow em down let alone a powerful hurricane! :blink:

     

    Along those lines, and for long range planing I think it's time we rethink construction techniques on the coastal real estate.   I have a friend from Porto Rico who says they build all the houses out of concrete with heavy support system" rel="">support columns every 10' to withstand practically anything.  So storm after storm they keep standing.  Now flooding is a bit different but maybe that has to be taken into account too.  Why do we not prepare for what ends up being a regular occurrence is beyond me???  Maybe if not concrete houses then Dome shaped housing.  I know in Katrina the only building standing within 1-1/2 miles of shore in Biloxi, MS. was a dome shaped church...and all it lost was a few shingles!  That was a Cat. 4 and it only lost of few shingles while everything else around it was blown away...gone!!!  Sorry...just sayin' we might need to plan ahead and rethink living on the coast the right way if that's where you choose to live.  Don't act surprised when storms come...expect them and you won't be caught off guard!  

     

    Excellent point Rodandstaff.  Unfortunately we can not predict what an actual storm will do. Its best to be safe than sorry.  More than half the home owners in Texas lived in non-flooding zones, they weren't required to have it.  People on the coast mostly had it.  Harvey showed no prejudice toward anyone,  the rich, the poor, the blacks, browns, white and Asians and many more all suffered with Harvey.  Harvey was an historical disaster, this storm lingered for days, never in my life have I witness a storm as such, and now we have Irma knocking on our door.  The best advise that I can give is, get out, go inland and ride it out there. You can rebuild, replace material things, but you can't replace a life.  

     

    B/A you logic makes no sense when you try to compare.   Those that flooded deserve all the help they can get. 

    Unless you've experience an event as such, your personal property, memories, lives, all destroyed, really we have no room for your distorted logic. 

    Stay on topic if you please.

    One thing that has been refreshing is that humanity came first.  I saw it first hand. No one gives a rats ass about politics, race, or religion when our city gets clobbered with 50 inches of rain.   What I witnessed over the last 4-5 days are people helping people in need. The love, compassion, unselfish giving and caring has been incredible. I witnessed a guy who drove 18 hours from Kentucky with his boat to help rescue people stranded on their rooftops. He told me he couldn't just sit around and watch it on tv, he wanted to help save lives!!!!

    38 people so far have died but I suspect that number will be much higher.   I've lived in Houston for over 50 years and have seen some bad hurricanes and floods. None of them compare to this storm. 

     

    I back you on your statement.  Unless your living in the zone, you have no clue has to what is happening here.  The devastation is as far as your eyes can see.  A 360 turn is where it's at.  We have flooding in all corners, niches, and crevices of this city and surrounding areas.  You see only a portion of the devastation from the media.  This is a historical event, we've broken records all around.  Thousands and thousands of homes destroyed, vehicles floating everywhere, missing love ones, love ones that have lost everything (my brother), the recovery is still happening with the help of the national guard, coast guard, local and state officers,  but the compassion of the volunteers are remarkable, the strength of the citizens is unbelievable.  The financial, and material response toward Houston gives us a secure feeling, knowing that we will be okay, we will rebuild, we will recover....SOooo right now we don't care about the negative, we care as you said, about HUMANITY.  The Lord said love thy neighbors and let me tell you, the stories, and what I've seen, the love of the Lord shines on Texas. 

    Words are not enough to say to all those who have come to our rescue, I hope you know and feel that we are so grateful for you all.

    Here comes the negative from the guardian.  The media at its best.  People of Texas are strong ,  we understand the set backs, the heartaches, the recovery process, understand that everything doesn't always runs smoothly, but we understand unity, love and compassion and here and Texas we have that.   The roaches are coming out to turn this event into a bunch of negative. Stirring the pot on every event, topic they can. 

     

    Prayers to all those that have lost loved ones, we all know that one is too many,  lost properties, in decision making in what and how to begin over.  To all businesses in the surrounding areas to get back on their feet. To those who are looking for work.  To our senior citizens for a smooth transition of displacement.  To our leaders in doing their best for their cities and counties.  Blessed Father, you know we will experience despair, and loneliness, give us strength to be kind to one another, to be helpful, to be in your image Lord, to make it through one day at a time.  Do not let the negative set in our hearts, send us your sweet whispers to sooth and comfort us.  In Jesus name, AMEN.

    This is Kingwood Texas. I hope you can open this video. It's deteriorate much more, this was taken early yesterday. Although you see alot of trees, there are big 2 story homes in there and a high school.  That is the lakes over flow damage.

     

    Lake Houston flows between Kingwood and I,  Kingwood is suffering alot.  I visit here all the time, in fact we've taken Tankdude to a restaurant off Lake Houston...which is no longer there:o I live on the opposite side of lake. No evacuation yet for us, I have power, heard rescue helicopters all night.

    Even though the sun shines today, the run off from bayous, creeks and rivers into the lake, (that travels to the Gulf) will be our biggest concerns.  Houston is devestated but the out pouring of unity is a site to see, not only within the community but from across the nation. Tons of volunteers with boats came to the rescue, in fact our neighborhood  help house a staging point for the coast guard.  

    Houston Spirit is strong!!! We will recover, rebuild and stay united. 

     

    Yes SnowGlobe7 my sweet Mother is safe!

  18. Houston and surrounding areas are being hit hard with the rain.  Catastrophic flooding everywhere, rescue missions are now taking place.  Many  homes flooded.  My mother's home is taking in water.   I can't get to her, because of flooded streets.  Have family members coming to her rescue. Other family members are experiencing damages to their properties.   As far as me, I've been able to keep the water out. We have more heavy down pours of rains coming.  Lake Houston is trying to hold its own, the run offs will show its fierce face when it finally stops raining.  The after affects will be devastating.  This is bad, really bad. 

    Prayers to everyone who are at this point lost without direction, my beloved Father please keep us in your arms of safety, we pray to keep the faith up and lean on you.  AMEN!!!

     

    "Scrabble" has become my favorite game   LOL!!!!:D
