And it's not like we press their hot button on purpose either!<br /><br />I pressed my soon to be ex's hot button this morning by not even PRESSING his hot button .... he summoned up a memory and used THAT to attack me. Goof ball.<br /><br />Why can't we all just LOVE EACH OTHER AND SUPPORT EACH OTHER?<br /><br />gimmeneez don't get me going. But I'll go a little longer if you don't mind.<br /><br />This is just my opinion, but JUDGMENT gets in the way of loving and accepting people ... I am totally on the same page as you are, Sue z Q when you say "let's respect that everyone has different religious beliefs and they have the right to express them without being attacked" ... how terrible does it feel to have to hold your tongue out of fear that someone won't like what you say?<br /><br />Man!<br /><br />It ticks me off that someone said God found you in less favor then he found fertile insensitive chick ... and the evidence was your sad painful situation ... THAT is evidence???? Sure it's evidence ... OF A MEDICAL ISSUE. Not a lack of God's love for you!!!<br /><br />grumble!!!<br /><br />man it ticks me off when people attack my Suzi Q ... if they start up again, you just let me know. I've got PEOPLE who handle this kind of a thing. I'll send them over.<br /><br />I love you and I loved this post.<br /><br />xoxoxoxWendsterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09651081249568327791noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8785684328749478914.post-68943201543503848722010-01-25T22:38:33.288-05:002010-01-25T22:38:33.288-05:00You made a very good case here -- .

I believe that everything that happens is either caused by the sins of man that go back to the fall in the Garden of Eden or that they are a part of God's plan. I believe that God allows bad things to happen to his people to teach them something, to get their attention, or to make them stronger. I do believe that God is good and is always with us.Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08326884420045755790noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8785684328749478914.post-59211098065399541642010-01-22T12:45:13.021-05:002010-01-22T12:45:13.021-05:00I can't believe that someone said you weren...I can't believe that someone said you weren't a good christian....who are they to JUDGE who is a good one and who isn't???

I think you are a very loving person and appreciative of beauty. I love your house and the home you have made there. I love your family and I love reading about your life.<br /><br />Your opinions do not upset me in the least. I would love to sit down and tell you all the "bad" things that has happened to me yet each one has been a gift of God to change me and head me in the right direction. God's love is not a pampering love, but a perfecting love.<br /><br />I haven't been around as often as I would like. I am old you know and it takes me three times as long to get my work done as it did a few years back. I need time.<br /><br />Don't get discouraged. One of these days, I would like to meet you. I think you would be a fun person.<br /><br />Have a great day!<br />Cheryl from CherdecorCherdecorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06790199524063763787noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8785684328749478914.post-37747345651256732622010-01-20T10:51:58.392-05:002010-01-20T10:51:58.392-05:00Love you and I was getting the spam too.

I understand their thankfulness, but I can't imagine God choosing to zap certain people and spare others. God is only good and surely grieves for the pain of his children.<br /><br />And aren't lambs the most beautiful creatures? Their faces always blow me away.Rebecca Ramseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14851717214205302476noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8785684328749478914.post-90153364033534097132010-01-20T07:44:38.806-05:002010-01-20T07:44:38.806-05:00As the Bible says, "The rain falls on the jus...As the Bible says, "The rain falls on the just and the unjust alike." It always makes me sad when people think they can judge others. Saying someone isn't a "good Christian" is pretty presumtuous and pompous, and that isn't what Christianity is about either. You make some good points Sue.Kathleen Gracehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11551093555973581448noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8785684328749478914.post-10500356084496804252010-01-19T23:20:17.454-05:002010-01-19T23:20:17.454-05:00Hi Susie!

I guess I have never liked the word 'luck' but I do understand what you are saying. Thanks for being honest. It is very painful to see the footage of the people in Haiti, and it does remind us of what we do have to be thankful for (no matter how great or small).Holly Campbellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08267503229093142779noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8785684328749478914.post-34562263054858352412010-01-19T20:53:42.253-05:002010-01-19T20:53:42.253-05:00Hi sweet Sue

And thoughtfulness. And sweetness. I come here because of YOU. Not your house. I know what you mean though. Sometimes, I feel inadequate when I visit blogs and they are so talented with decorating or photography or cooking, etc. My blog is probably boring in comparision but I do it for me. Be true to yourself.<br /><br />Much love and hugs!<br />KatJustabeachkathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06730467440181411875noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8785684328749478914.post-53858123105018742582010-01-19T17:37:37.437-05:002010-01-19T17:37:37.437-05:00I agree with you Sue.

As I go into surgery tomorrow; as usual I've given a lot of thought about blessings and luck the last few days. I can't begin to tell you how I've appreciated your last two posts. Keep it coming.

She captured Kip's pure essence. Gorgeous portrait!! I'll leave a comment there in a minute.<br /><br />Did you read my In a Fog and A Small Collection posts, this week? Like minds are thinking alike on the blogging thing. I disabled anon. comments and I moderate all comments now. Too much spam and a couple of negative energy comments. Not so much negative but negative energy definitely.<br /><br />I find I get more comments on the decor posts. There is only so much decorating a person can do! <br /><br />I read somewhere, as I said in my post, something that somehow made me feel like what I do on my blog is mundane. Not so much in those words and not me specifically...but definitely read between the lines.<br />The tablescapes will continue now and then. Because, as we all know...I do have a few dishes stashed here and there. I'm going to join Michael Lee West in cooking as often as possible, as soon as I recover from this two month battle with whatever is being passed around. J passed it back to me, over the weekend.LOL I'm making the appropriate chicken soup tomorrow, to be featured on Foodie Friday, this week!<br /><br />The decorating posts are not going to be so much this year. I want to do my photos and our little trips and cook, etc. So I may lose readers, without much decorating. But the blog was started to help me out of the grief of losing Elijah. And I don't want my little journal to ever be a chore. That wouldn't honor Elijah's memory much, would it.<br /><br />As for this post and luck. J, the very good Catholic boy that he is, tells the story of standing in a line of other soldiers, not long after he entered the army. They went to every other soldier in the line and said Vietnam. J went to Germany. The soldiers on either side of him went to Vietnam. He always says it was luck, when he was given the assignment for Germany, even with his Catholic upbringing. He does talk to and about the Man Upstairs quite a bit, though.:-)<br /><br />Keep on keepin' on Sue.Pat@Back Porch Musingshttp://www.backporchmusings.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8785684328749478914.post-9651061333224781022010-01-19T15:16:06.482-05:002010-01-19T15:16:06.482-05:00I had never thought of it this way.
