WHO'S IN CHARGE
Do you find your self wondering who's in charge? Do you find yourself in situations wondering how you got there? Do you look at out of control behavior and wonder where are the parents? Do you look at the world around you and wonder what's going on? Do you wonder how your marriage became non-existent or unimportant to you or your spouse? Do you look at all of this and think " My God, what has happened?"
There's people going off, swearing at others, hurting people, lying to one another, wearing inappropriate clothing, listening to demonic and oppressing music. Watching videos and television programming that teaches values unpleasing or contradiction of God's words. There's wives lying about money and husbands lying about work commitments which keep him from the family.
What's happened is that we have taken God out of everything. What we don't get is that he is still in everything. god is all around us. He sees the mayhem and sadness. He sees us breaking the rules, his commandments, our wedding vows, and others trust. When you realize that, does that change your behavior, thought process, and your convictions? Well it should. Let's get on our knees and ask for forgiveness and start anew. Let's live for God and not ourselves. Life is getting short and we need to set an example of his love and principles while we have time to do so.

CALL TO ACTION
President Obama has cancelled the National Day of Prayer Service
The National Day of Prayer which began with President Truman and then made permanent by President Reagan has been officially cancelled.
This day was designated by the United State Congress as a day when we are asked to come together and pray as a nation for our nation. This day began in 1952 as a floating holiday and then President Reagan set it for the first Thursday in May.
As far back as 1775 the Continental Congress issued a day of prayer in helping with building a new nation. President John Adams in 1798 asked all citizens of all faiths to pray and fast that our country would be protected from all dangers that threaten it.
May 30th 1863, President Abraham Lincoln issued a proclamation that the Senate would recognize the Supreme Authority and just government of the Akmighty god, in all affairs. He also wanted a day set apart for National prayer and humilitation. He wanted us to confess our sins and transgressions. He felt that repentance would lead to mercy and pardon and that only the nations that recognized God as their Lord would truly be blessed. he felt that we had forgotten God.
He asked that all secular pursuits would be abstained and that we would pray in our homes and places of worship, keeping that day holy to the Lord.

Laugh out Loud
T.D. Jakes (a well-known preacher) was returning to Texas after a speaking engagement. When his plane arrived, there was a limousine there to transport him to his home in Dallas . As he prepared to get into the limo, he stopped and spoke to the driver. "You know" he said, "I am almost 50 years old and I have never driven a limousine. Would you mind if I drove it for a while?" The driver said, "No problem. Have at it...” T.D. gets into the driver's seat and they head off down the highway. A short distance away sat a rookie State Trooper operating his first speed trap. The long black limo went by him doing 70 in a 55 mph zone. The trooper pulled out and easily caught the limo and got out of his patrol car to begin the procedure. The young trooper walked up to the driver's door and when the glass was rolled down he was surprised to see who was driving. He immediately excused himself and went back to his car and called his supervisor. He told the supervisor, "I know we are supposed to enforce the law but I also know that important people are sometimes given certain courtesies. I need to know what I should do because I have stopped a very important person." "The supervisor asked, "Is it the governor?" The young trooper said, "No, he's more important than that." The supervisor said, "Oh, so it's the president." The young trooper said, "No, he's even more important than that." The supervisor finally asked, "Well then, who is it?" The young trooper said, I think its Jesus because he's got T. D. Jakes for a chauffeur!!!!! PASS IT ON....LAUGHTER IS GOOD FOR THE SOUL

Exercise tip for the month
Walk and pray
Let’s walk with the husband and the kids. A great way to do this is to set a schedule up for each of your family members for a walk with you one at a time. Some walk will be longer than others. Walk and connect with each one on an individual basis will enrich your lives. Talk about their day, and their needs. Ask about what is happening at school or on a team or even in the neighborhood. Pray with them and for them, for family, church and any situations you are facing. The more one on one time they get with you will allow them to rely on you as their mentor and not others that may lead them astray.
When you are walking with your husband you will build great communication between you two. Sometimes it is easier to talk away from the usual and sometime stressful surroundings. You can get feelings out and so can he. You can pray for one another and the kids. You can pray for his job and associates he works with. You can pray together about the kids or other family matters. You can take this time to encourage and thank him for what he does for the family. You can make future plans together and hold hands and love on each other.
Walking and praying will bring a cohesiveness and connection to one another and God. You will also burn off calories and fat while spending quality time with each of the people that mean so much to you. Happy walking and watch the blessings of this commitment to your family and to God.
Recipe
Big Salad
The measurements for this salad are all up to you. As much as you like and prepared how you want them. This will give the kids a slight choice in how they put there own together keeping in mind that they must have veggies to be healty.
Boiled Eggs – sliced or quartered
Carrots – sliced or mini (When you buy the uncut long stem carrots, it is often more economical and more fun to cut as you wish and the kids can get into it)
Celery – again the long uncut package will be more cost effective
Tomatoes – I love the grape kind, but again more cost effective usually when purchasing the larger style.
Cucumbers – The long English kind is better for your digestion.
Sliced or cubed turkey or chicken for protein
Cooked turkey bacon for added crunch and healthier choice than regular bacon and again added protein.
Pickles – any style and flavor you prefer
Beets – Pickled or plain
Olives – Any style or flavor
Red Onion – Sliced or chunked
Croutons/Chinese noodles – Choose low fat and low sodium or make your self.
Corn niblets
Avocado - sliced or cubed
And any other veggie you can think of or that your family enjoys.
Add your favorite light dressing and enjoy. The one who eats the most veggies wins.
