DontJudge a book by its Cover

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

    Good morning, John,
    Thank you for stopping by my Spiritual blog.
    I enjoyed this post very much because people matter so much to me. One of the things that always saddens me is seeing how quick people are to judge one another. We so often miss special blessings by judging others; think them to be something they aren't. Truth is, we cannot afford to judge, none of us are perfect. We're more alike then most people realize, are kindred spirits, all experiencing the same things in life, each of us on the path the Lord decided is best for us, each of us doing our best.
    Take care, my friend.
    Have an awesome day.

    Hey John, thanks for dropping by the Shipslog. Yo have a great Blog here. I read back a few entries. Everyone of them brought a smile, and good memories. Starting with this one, I thought of Todd, a Hell's Angels Enforcer, covered with tattoos. Todd Got religion, came to work for me as a rough plumber. The sweetest guy I ever met. I still see him on occasion.
    My wife, sister and I took care of my mom in her last hears. I learned a lot about the mind. Memories flooded with the 'Yard Sale' entry.
    Thanks for the memories.
    jack, presently in Michigan...

    I have found it is best to not judge any time. Especially if it isn't very good. Any more I just go with the flow. I think your friend has done well. That proves with God's help we can do most anything. I think I would choose the little dog , but if the pit was loved and they are usually gentle when loved I would take the pit also. Can you tell I love dogs. Thank you for your welcome comment, on my blog. I appreciate it.

Well I got the news today, After 13 months of paper work in and grieving the loss of my Dad. The papers came yesterday and the calls today. You have 60 days to be out, you are an unlawful detainer.The house your living in sold Oct 20th,I had gotten the loan. I got the attorney Mayhem Ford, I filed and faxed.  did everything I needed to do. And now they tell me under FHA policy I have to move 30 years of my parents stuff and empty out the house.So they can take a picture of the house empty. They tell me with such compassion. I almost believe them.Someone's been lying to me. I am going to court Feb 19th and present my case. I've been so sick with ulcers and H pylori This is the home that my Dad and Mom built with their bare hands, My Dad lived in less then two years. He was building it while battling lung cancer, None of us knew he was sick.( Not even Mom). This is the house where every holiday was spent. Many Christmas's and Thanksgiving dinners with Friends and Family....

They Say I get to keep my home

Hello Bloggers , Just wanted to post. Ive been fighting for my house over 13 months. So many times I wanted to walk away. But Ive held on and asked for prayers. II received that letter stating that I was being sued as an unlawful detainee in my own home . Well on Monday Jan 11 Th . My loan agent had two letters writing for me. One from him and one from HUD. They said the house will be mine. I am buying it. My loan went Thur and HUD is working with me to buy it. I do have to move EVERYTHING out,Get and appraisal and then they'll let me move back in. I only have to pay what the home is worth now.And the Agent wrote should take a couple a weeks to get this done.Thank You Jesus, And to all who have been praying for me.Oh what a long difficult process this has been. I rented a storage bin and will move everything out into the portable storage that's parked in my drive way and I can stay in my Motor home till its all finalized.So please keep praying.And I'll update you all ...
