Since my daughters death last year 8/26/2007, I have come to know the true connection with the renewed spirit and butterflies.  I knew before from watching programs on T.V. that butterflies were comforting symbols of a loved one who has passed on, renewed spirit.  When I dreamed of her a month after her death, I asked her how would I know she was around and she told me, Butterflies and old school music. I used to always have the 80's rap, jazz, r&b along with the soft rock playing around my kids while they were growing up. I then noticed she had a blue butterfly on her window since middle school. Most of her kids(my two grandbabies) clothes have butterflies in the patterns. When I'm feeling low and thinking of her, low and behold there comes the butterfly whether its on a commercial, I'm out doors, etc. Its comforting and soothing. What are your experiences with loved ones who have passed on the the knowldge of the,  Butterfly Angels? My daughter is my Butterfly Angel.

This is really a poor concept, we are in shambles and war due to not enough religion but then some religions try to controll and sway us from time to time with politics. I think man will always  utilize self will and interest when it comes to anything and most things in life no matter what position he/holds. I use to listen to Focus on the family daily, but during the presidential election, it had became more political than than what i was tired of seeing on the television.  If the majority ruling was any certain faction of christianity and influenced political main stream we would have all kind of no good people in office based on which one rubs those christian factors the right way. 

I am a christian of non denominational choice because the seperatism of religion is going to be the biggest factor to send most to hell.  I think the Burke was out of line, and had his feelings in the wrong place. Because he couldnt get his way, he gave up on the kids?  Why didnt they give up on the priest but instead they started transferring and hidding priest that took advantage of thousands upon thousands of kids?  He can give up on them because some one who is raising money for them dont share his same views, give me a freakin break. 

I know i have written posts on other blogs about my brother who is in the Marine Corp having served 3 tours in this awful war, well good news he returned home last Wednesday.  Now i will be praying for the others who are still there suffering due to our presidents deceitful ways.

Please, everyone pray for our troops, we take forgranted all the daily luxuries and comfort we enjoy on a daily basis, sometimes forgetting what they might be suffering and going through on the front lines for us.....

Do you believe that God knows all and hears all?  Do you believe the concept if you think on it, its just as well as acting on it when it comes to sin?  Do you feel sorry for people when you see them walking and talking to themselves or looking beyond what you consider, being in good health or wealth? How does the things you see on a daily basis tug at your heart as a christian (believer)?

I do believe that God knows all and hears all as well as if you think a thought and contemplate on it long enough you might as well have committed the sin. When I see someone walking and talking to themselves looking dis-shelved, I dont immediatly feel that person is crazy, but I think maybe he or she is walking and talking with Jesus.  I use to have to catch 9 buses a day from Soulard to North County and then to South County just to get my babies to a sitter and to work when i was without a car.  Along this journey, i realized, things are always what they seem to be. I used to feel sorry for people catching the bus but, i later realized that it wasnt a bad thing but, more so a choice or necessary thing.  During this faith building journey, i didnt encounter any problems or danger along the way, my kids were 5mos and 4yrs old.  We rose in the dark and came home in the dark. Most people think, "North St. Louis," and chills run up their spine, but when you are walking the right person (Jesus) by your side, no hurt, harm or danger can touch you.  So now, when i see someone that i feel can use a prayer, i pray right then and there because we really dont know what phase of life they are in  or what journey they are on because, things arent alwayswhat they appears to be........

Be Blessed.......

How much relevance do you put in statics being accurate?  My thoughts are as big as the USA is and has grown culturally, statistics seem to be based heavily on Black and White?  Why is this such an issue? What is your opinion on this when there are so many other variations of people here from other countries that are out growing these main two races?

I needed to put this post out here because of the way the USA view races. I dont consider myself a (minority) because its degrading if you are a race other than white. I feel we are all created equal in God's eyes so what gives society the right to brand one race over the other. What is your opinion?

Is the best way to go about toning, weight lifting or cardio?  Which burns fat and tones faster?

My question is, have you ever experieced or believe that our loved ones thats gone on to the after life can come back to visit?  Whats your experiece? My loved one's, family and friends seems to visit me in my dreams, especially my Dad for I'm still a Daddy's girl.  I always tell them I love and miss them, they sometimes answer questions but it never lasts for long.

Anyone out there thats been out of school 10 years or more, returning to get it done this time? How is it working for you? What are your study Habits? or What works for you juggling family, work and life?

What do you think about the expense of Roses on special days like today?  I told my husband in an around about way, dont get me any Roses because they are too expensive, die fast and I hate the smell of them.  I would rather have a beautiful bouquet of mixed and exotic flowers that smell much better and last a lot longer.  I love colors and mixed bouquets supplies all my needs =-) .

In the case of Michael Devil (Devlin), should he get a fair trial? This case is high and dry and my true feelings are, there is no trial, he should be put away and the key thrown away. Most often a trial is needed, I'm not saying throw anyone believed to be guilty in prison, but in cases like this, its a no brainer.  Tax payers money will be waisted, this family will have to suffer as this case is tried no matter how long it takes and a lot of emotional damage is still be done. Whats your take on this?

Is there anyone who is Blogging that has a baseball or summer basketball league. My son is 15 soon to be 16 in May and I really need to get him busy. I live North County and willing to go the extra mile. He played baseball for the first time last year for his previous high school and did really good, i was so suprised. He had only liked and wanted to play basketball but i always encourage him to be well rounded and try differnt things and he did and was quite proud of himself. He is really a good mild mannered young man, kinda rare these days....HELP!!!

i personally think this is a war that they are fighting amongst themselves (Iraqui's) i have a brother thats in iraq for the 3rd time this war and i have had the experience for the last 3 years of having the pit of my stomach drop out each time he had to go back. he is in transportation, one of the worst jobs, but there is not one good position over there. its a war we wont win and we need to get our men and women out of that aweful hell hole.....
