LIFE IN JOHNS WORLD

Thought Id write about how people today are so quick to judge or assume.My best friend is 6'2" and 260lbs.But the fact that hes covered in tattoos.People assume hes a wild guy looking for the next fight.Well the truth is hes got a heart of gold.Loves his family.Doesnt party and loves God.He started getting tattoos at a young age.He did go through a rebellious period.Does he regret it.YES! I cant say enough about how good of a friend he is to me.And he does so much with his children,No matter how many hours he puts in at work. (By the way which happens to be working with the elderly who all love him to get a good laugh out of him )Here he is playing with my little Chihuahua. And thats me hanging out with his Pit. Who just so happens to be a more gentle dog then my little chihuahua

I got the title of todays entry from a movie (I think) But for me Pennies from Heaven is a Blessing. In the pass week I've dreamp of Mom &Dad at least three times.Mom passed in 2006 and Dad 2008.  One day Mom and I were walking and we came upon a penny.She bent down clinched it in her fist and smiled.My girls just saying hi.I smiled, and we walked on.(Mom had lost three daughters in seven years.) Such a deep horrable pain, Not only for me to lose my sisters but to see Mom in pain, All I could do was pray God help us,           The other day Im walking across the parking lot to work.Something shiney grabs my attention.Yup you guessed it, this shiney penny.(Barb from My Johnny  talks about Shiney moments )  I too stopped and picked up the penny and clinched in my fist, held it to my heart."Hi Mom"          No Mom didn't come back as a penny: But at times thoses Hello Son  moments sure helps me get through t...

   Thinking back several stories comes to my mind. Thought Id share this one.I  must of been around 12 when my S ister picked me up to go across town with  her.She had three small children and  heard that a Woman was giving away  clothes for kids.So we pull up at the house and the garage  door was open  we  decided to check it out .So I walked over to the back doo r"Look Bonnie they have  a door bell in  th ere garage"How dum of me lol As I pushed the button she  yelled Noooooooooo.Well the garage door closed and we froze on the spot.Needless to say the back door to the house flys open and out runs a  hispanic family.  Not only did we i nterupted their dinner,They stared at two  strangers with  kids standing in their garage.My Sister was  speechless.I spoke up "Is this the house that  was  giving a way clothes for kids.? Not only were we at the wrong house,they couldnt speak Eng...

             I was sitting here thinking of how many people I've cared for over the last 25 years.Many different types.Rich,Poor, Kind and some very rude.Some were very ill.Many times it was my hand they were holding as they took there last breath.Thought I would share some of my memories on this "THINK BACK TUESDAY  In 1993 I was on call for an agency, they sent me to the home of an elderly woman. She livedalone, in a small house in a rough part of town. ( I always pray before going into a home.) Mary was about 4 feet tall.They told me she was  semi Senile and needed some assistance.She met me at the door with a smile ."A male care giver"She said. I replied"Are you ok with that"?  Her response was "Even better,as long as you like yard sales,We got to hit them bargin sales soon" I thought to myself.Agency didnt mention driving around.So I came in sat down we began to talk.About 30 mins into our conversation she gets up grabs her p...
