Speaking of Family

A couple of months ago I met a relative over the phone. It turns out his name is Jawanza. His proper name is Roger Preston. His mother was Mae who was one of Bernice Jones, and Eddie Gill's sisters. They are connected on Grandma Rosa's side. His Grandmother was Aunt Cora, who was sister to Grandma Rosa. Just to show how interesting this is Jawanza didn't think he had many relatives until our meeting. He has 5 daughters and lives in the D.C. area. Since our initial conversation he asked me to help him with the other side of his family through Ancestry.com. He was amazed, and amused. By the way Jawanza produces a radio show by the name of "Satula"which airs on WOL am radio at 11:00 a.m. on Saturdays. You can tune in online at Wolam.com. The show deals with health issues, holistic medicine, and the likes. I was glad to meet him, he was so elated to have more family. So if you live in D.C. or that area you've probably heard him on the radio. Another cousin! Small, small world. I've included a link to the site to the left.

Need a laugh?

Hello family, I've been getting allot of material to post, and I am grateful. This has come from Dorian.

An elderly woman had just returned to her home from an evening of Church services when she was startled by an intruder.She caught the man in the act of robbing her home of its valuables and yelled, 'Stop! Acts 2:38! ' (Repent and be baptized, in the name of Jesus Christ so that your sins may be forgiven.)The burglar stopped in his tracks. The woman calmly called the police and explained what she had done. As the officer cuffed the man to take him in, he asked the burglar, 'Why did you just stand there? All the old lady did was yell a scripture to you.''Scripture?' replied the burglar. 'She said she had an Ax and Two 38's!'PASS THIS ON TO SOMEONE WHO NEEDS A LAUGH TODAY and remember knowing scripture can save your life in more ways than one!

Daily Rules from God 2008

Hello and greetings family. This came from Joan Simons, thanks for this post!
1. Wake Up!! Decide to have a good day. 'Today is the day the Lord hath made; let us rejoice and be glad in it.' Psalms 118:24 2. Dress Up!! The best way to dress up is to put on a smile. A smile is an inexpensive way to improve your looks. 'The Lord does not look at the things man looks at. Man looks at outward appearance; but the Lord looks at the heart.' I Samuel 16:7 3. Shut Up!! Say nice things and learn to listen. God gave us two ears and one mouth, so He must have meant for us to do twice as much listening as talking. 'He who guards his lips guards his soul.' Proverbs 1:3 4. Stand Up!!... For what you believe in. Stand for something or you will fall for anything.. 'Let us not be weary in doing good; for at the proper time, we will reap a harvest if we do not give up. Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good...' Galatians 6:9-10 5. Look Up!!... To the Lord. 'I can do everything through Christ who strengthens me.' Philippians 4:13 6. Reach Up!!... For something higher. ' Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not unto your own understanding. In all your ways, acknowledge Him, And He will direct your path.' Proverbs 3:5-6 7. Lift Up!!... Your Prayers. ' Do not worry about anything; instead PRAY ABOUT EVERYTHING.' Philippians 4:6

Until next time!

Be Careful of the Products You Use

Visine Original. Apparently this product works by shrinking blood vessels in the eye, so overuse can create problems. Ms. Lord smartly advises to treat the cause of redness. For instance: If the redness is caused by dry eye, some cod liver oil might easily take care of the problem.

I found this quite interesting, because we wouldn't think twice about using this product. Do you have any more natural remedies to daily health and well being? If so, please let me know some of your tips. Use the comment section to share, here at the blog.

I took that small excerpt from HSI daily. Visine was on a list of medications that Doctors would not use for themselves or their families.

Until next time take care.

Directly From Aunt Marguerite

Dear Family, I hope you are able to run around the block. ( 1 block) SMILE

Mark and I have been cooking today, it turned out well. My other son's are OK and my daughter is fine too. It was good to have this opportunity to address the family. Love you

Sincerely,

Marguerite Tyree

Hurricane Bertha

Hello Family. This storm named Bertha is headed towards the Caribbean out into The Atlantic. I have been tracking this storm because we have family in Bermuda. The last time a storm was headed that way, I mentioned it to the Lord and the storm went around Bermuda. So Again I've asked the Lord to throw a curve around Bermuda. Bertha should be close to the area by Saturday. I have been in contact with Cousin Joan Simons and ironically she likes storms, and is calm about it. Still pray for mercy and a curve in the wind. Until next time, take care.
