HOT AND HUMID!!

As August is winding down, the heat and humidity are cranking up!! I don't like the humidity, but then who does??

But, before we know it, it will be snowing again!!

Most people think that it's God Who causes various weather conditions.  But, that's not always the case. Our government has the ability to control the elements. They have various resources to create earthquakes, tornadoes, hurricanes, etc.  Most people refuse to believe this.  They seem to think that the government is perfect and then question why God would allow such things to happen to us.  God allows it because He has given each and every one of us a free will and he never interferes with our free will. And, in our free will, we sin.  In our free will, we do all kinds of things that offend Almighty God and things that do not please Him.  But, as God Is not a dictator, He allows these things to happen because He respects our free will.

PRAISE GOD AND BLESSED BE GOD FOREVER for all things!!!

Syria and World Peace!!

What has happened to those poor, beloved, people in Syria over the past couple of days, is unthinkable and inhumane!! It's just so absolutely TERRIBLE!! Why would Syrians want to dump chemical weapons ON THEIR OWN PEOPLE who are TOTALLY INNOCENT??!! WHY??

Those poor people!!  Who knows what the survivors will have to endure the rest of their lives because of that !! And, I keep thinking of that poor beautiful little girl, whom The CBS Evening News showed. She kept asking the doctor:  "I'm alive? I'm alive? I'm alive?" . . . only to be told that her parents were killed with this chemical weapon!! And, the images of these poor Syrians keep going through my mind -- the images of them shaking uncontrolably!! How will the doctors be able to help these poor beloved people?? How will they know what kinds of medication to give them to counteract this chemical weapon?? Will some of these people ever stop shaking?? What will happen to them as a result of this??

What about these people who dumped these chemicals on their OWN PEOPLE?? Who will try to catch them and who will charge them with any kind of crime?? They might get away with this HORRIBLE crime on earth.  But, they won't be able to get away with it with God!!

All we can do is pray for them.  And, that's the BEST thing that anyone can do for them, besides the nurses and doctors who are trying to help heal them.

As long as people continue along their sinful lifestyle and ignore The Ten Commandments, these things will continue to happen . . . all around the world.  The U.S. will not be exempt from this stuff, either.

It was either Jesus or Our Lady Who Said, at The Apparition Site of Our Lady of the Roses, Mary Help of Mothers, that "Syria holds the key to peace or to the Third World War." (I'm paraphrasing a little bit) http://www.smwa.org/  However, whatever happens in this world, and whatever happens to us in the Next Life, totally depends on us!! It depends on how much we try to obey The Ten Commandments of Almighty God and how much we, Catholics and Christians, pray the daily Rosary, wear the Brown Scapular, and attend the Sacraments of the Church -- for those Christians who are not Catholic, it would depend on the same as what I just mentioned; but instead of the Sacraments, it would depend on how often they attend services at their own Church denomination.

So, we need to pray -- pray a lot!! Our prayers to Almighty God can lessen such disasters!!



For the repose of the souls of those who died as a result of the chemical weapons in Syria:  Eternal rest grant unto them, O Lord, and let Perpetual Light Shine upon them.  May their souls, and the souls of all the faithful departed, through the Mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen.

MY DEDICATION BLOG TO OUR BELOVED TROOPS AND VETERANS!!

To say "thank you" is as nothing compared to your time and sacrifice!! So, I dedicate this blog to each and every service man and woman, the veterans, and everyone's family members and friends!!



To our beloved troops, and especially to those of you who are serving overseas:   THANK YOU so much for your time, service, and sacrifice in serving our beloved country!! For those of you who are serving overseas, in war-torn countries and who are on the front-line, I just cannot imagine the HORROR that you have to see everyday!! Unimaginable!!

I just cannot imagine how beyond horrible it is to have to be consistently on guard, at all times, from the opposition.  I cannot imagine how horrible it is to witness your own military buddies getting blown up by IEDS or watching them get maimed.  How beyond HORRIBLE!! How beyond HORRIBLE it is for you to suffer PTSD and/or have limbs amputated or blown off and you each have to suffer this horrible stuff for the rest of your lives!! I am so grateful to each of you and I truly hold each of you close to my heart -- you all mean so very much to me!!

And, how beyond horrible it is that you come back to our beloved country and have to be admitted to these horrible VA hospitals -- these government owned and operated hospitals!! You all sacrifice your lives and then you are treated like complete dirt by our government -- HOW SAD!! Although our government does not care about you, I DO!!

How  The U.S. government can just expect you to come back from these war-torn countries and throw you all back into society and expect you all to fit right in is beyond me!! It's just not fair how the government treats you all!! Unless they've personally been through a similar experience, they truly do not know what it is like to have to shoot the opposition at moments notice, or to witness your best friends get killed by IEDS -- here one minute and gone the next. And, they truly have no clue as to what it's like to suffer PTSD unless they've been in similar situations.  Some of you have extreme PTSD!! Some of you suffer all kinds of horrendous, unthinkable, medical and mental problems because of fighting in war-torn countries and I hold you all very, very close to my heart!! I am so very sorry for horrendous crosses that you all have to carry!!  God bless each one of you so much!!

To the beloved family members of our beloved troops:  THANK YOU so much for sacrificing your sons or daughters, brothers or sisters, mothers or fathers, just to protect our beloved country so that we can have the freedom that we do have!! I cannot imagine how a lot of you must be feeling knowing that your loved one is deployed to a war-torn country.  I cannot imagine how you must feel knowing that you might never see your loved one alive again and a lot of you, sadly, never will.  I am so very sorry for those of you who have lost a loved one in a war-torn country!! I hold you so very close to my heart as well.

To our beloved veterans:  regardless of which war you have served in, or even if you served when it was not war-time, and regardless if you have suffered any kind of injuries or not, I THANK YOU ALL so much for your time, your sacrifice, and your devotion to our beloved country!! I truly thank you, and your family members, so very much for keeping our beloved country as safe as possible, even though our government does not seem to care!! I cannot imagine the different things each of you have experienced during your service time.  But, I hold you all so very close to my heart, too!!

To our beloved soldiers and veterans who have died:  THANK YOU!!  A simple "thank you" is no where near enough for the price you paid to keep us free.  We pray this prayer for the repose of your souls:  ETERNAL REST GRANT UNTO THEM, O LORD, AND LET PERPETUAL LIGHT SHINE UPON THEM.  MAY THEIR SOULS, AND THE SOULS OF ALL THE FAITHFUL DEPARTED, THROUGH THE MERCY OF GOD, REST IN PEACE.  AMEN.

As many of you probably suffer from depression, I would like to share a link to another blog I wrote, and I hope that it will help you out in some way, as well:  http://servantofjesusandourlady.blogspot.com/2013/08/depression.html

When you suffer, I suffer!! I love each and every one of you very dearly!!  You all mean the world to me!! I pray for each of you!! God bless each of you and thank you so much for serving our beloved country!!!
