Be not hasty in your
utterance and let not your heart be quick to make a promise in God’s presence.
God is in heaven and you are on earth; therefore let your words be few. For
nightmares come with many cares, and a fool’s utterance with many words. When
you make a vow to God, delay not its fulfillment. For God has no pleasure in
fools; fulfill what you have vowed. You had better not make a vow than make it
and not fulfill it. Let not your utterance make you guilty, and say not before
his representative, “It was a mistake,” lest God be angered by such words and
destroy the works of your hands. Rather fear God! Amen.
“They walk around as though it is a feather, in their cap!”
Boasting about their Christianity,
yet they lie, cheat and curse… causing disputes among brothers and sisters.
They boast about their Christianity
then they complain about the plate of food they gave to their brothers and sisters.
God don’t like ugly and he doesn’t care for pretty too. Enjoy your day and be safe.

There are too many tragic situations that can give you a sleepless night.
I made a rule that
I am not going to look or listen to the news at nights. My lock off time for news
is 6PM . Any major situation I would hear from a news flash.
One came on while I was watching Shark Tank. A metro north train to Valhalla hit an SUV. 6 people were killed and many injured. A family friend
takes that train, but I got news that it happened after her stop. The second month
in 2015 and destructive events started. LORD, have mercy.

Vanity
There is nothing wrong with
having pride and self-importance, but when it is excessive then it’s brainless.
I knew some people when I was growing up who were conceited, arrogant,
egotistical… Just narcissistic! I used to stay clear of them. It was funny how
they did not see how stupid they looked as they walked around with airs and
haughtiness. To me they looked as though they never walked into shit. It was
nice when they were taken down a peg or two…
“Quotes I Love”
An example I often use to illustrate the reality of vanity, is
this: look at the peacock; it's beautiful if you look at it from the front. But
if you look at it from behind, you discover the truth... Whoever gives in to
such self-absorbed vanity has huge misery hiding inside them. — Pope Francis
Vanity, showing off, is an attitude that reduces spirituality to a
worldly thing, which is the worst sin that could be committed in the church. — Pope Francis
It is just like man's vanity and impertinence to call an animal
dumb because it is dumb to his dull perceptions. ― Mark Twain (1835-1910
The truest characters of ignorance are vanity and pride and
arrogance. ― Samuel Butler (1835-1902)
All
men dream, but not equally. Those who dream by night in the dusty recesses of
their minds, wake in the day to find that it was vanity: but the dreamers of
the day are dangerous men, for they may act on their dreams with open eyes, to
make them possible. — T. E. Lawrence (1888-1935)

I really cannot stop talking about this. The MMR--- Measles, Mumps and Rubella, shot is important!
Rubella
is German measles and if a woman is pregnant and she gets it, she could have a miscarriage
or the baby may be born with serious disabilities. I had Rubella when I was 17 and
I thought I was going to die because of how sick I was feeling. A fever and a
terrible headache were going on for days. All the glands in my neck were
swollen. I was covered from head to toe with a red rash that was itching and at
one point it hurt. My brown eyes were red and the white had little red dots. When
you looked at my finger and toe nails they looked polka dot because of the red
dots. Red dots were on the white of my eyes, in the palm of my hands and under
the soles of my feet. The doctor in the hospital treated me for allergies
because it was Easter and it was sea food time. I went to my private doctor and
he said that it was Rubella--- German Measles and he treated me. I am talking
about this because Measles, Mumps and Rubella are contagious diseases. They can
kill.
“Quotes I Like”
Pick the day. Enjoy it - to the hilt. The day as it comes. People
as they come... The past, I think, has helped me appreciate the present - and I
don't want to spoil any of it by fretting about the future. ― Audrey Hepburn, (1929-1993)
I
believe in pink. I believe that laughing is the best calorie burner. I believe
in kissing, kissing a lot. I believe in being strong when everything seems to
be going wrong. I believe that happy girls are the prettiest girls. I believe
that tomorrow is another day and I believe in miracles. ― Audrey Hepburn, (1929-1993)
For beautiful eyes, look for the good in others; for beautiful
lips, speak only words of kindness; and for poise, walk with the knowledge that
you are never alone. ― Audrey Hepburn, (1929-1993)
