You know the many challenges my family and I have faced in the last few years.  But I am still here.  I am not destroyed.  I am still standing.  The plans that were set in motion to destroy me, have not and will not accomplish their desired ends.  I declare and proclaim this in Jesus Name:  I prosper now and forever because it is my very soul that prospers.

Here is the real story:

I am alive. I am healthy.  I am strong.  I am blessed.  I am loved.  Oh, I am so loved. 

I have a loving husband and a 20 year marriage that makes others envious of us.  He is my best friend and my most avid supporter.  He believes in me far more than I have ever believed in myself.  Nothing and no one can ever come between us.  Forever means forever.  We will take long walks at sunset, hand in hand...we will sit on the porch in our rocking chairs...we will make love forever. 

I have three wonderful children that are still at home, that are heroes of The Faith, and my constant inspiration.  They are brilliant, funny and quite frankly, three of the most remarkable people I have ever had the privilege to know.  I am awed that the Lord has entrusted them to me, and by this I know that He too must have more confidence in me than I can imagine.  This motivates me to do more, to do better than I have ever done before.  They are my three main reasons for living.  I am honored to be their mother.

I have another child that will one day return to the Lord, because she too was raised in The Faith.  I love her and miss her very much, and I have great confidence in her coming full circle and reuniting with us one day, here or in heaven.  If the rapture should come, or if the Lord should tarry...I know I'll see her smiling angel-face again one day soon.

I have a wonderful mother that proves to me that it's never too late to change and grow...that shows me that there is always hope for others.  She is 89 years old and still sharp as a tack.  Like her mother who was my main mentor, she will go strong until her time comes, or until the Lord comes, and of this I have no doubt.  She has had success and also faced many disappointments and failures in her lifetime.  She has handled it with grace and charm.  Instead of getting weaker though, she continues to get stronger and stronger in all the ways that count.

I have a little house, for now, and we have been blessed with my Mother's Day parakeet, a birthday kitten and Christmas puppy to share our happy home!  But I have a real miracle to share with you here.  I have the most wonderful, loyal and powerful friendships that support my growth and affirm my faith and always extend my Lord's hands to me, and embrace me with His own arms and heart.   

I have never been so blessed with awesome friendships in my whole life.  I am constantly surrounded, in all facets of my life, by the most amazing women of faith that you can possibly imagine.  How I came to know this company of women that decorate and enrich my world is nothing short of a miracle of God.  Mary's, Martha's, Deborah's, Abigails, and me.  Warrior-Women like a fortress surround me.

We have so much to look forward to this year.  My children and my mother and I said good-bye to 2008 and boldly welcomed 2009 with a midnight prayer.  You can imagine what we prayed for.  We walk by faith and not by sight.  By faith I see miracles, healings, deliverance and great health, wealth and prosperity for us in 2009.  My hope and trust is in the Lord. 

This morning in my meditations, He told me to "sit down" and be fed.  Sit down with Him.  We have the victory.  We have already overcome.  Watch out 2009!  We're on The Way!

May the Lord bless you and keep you in 2009.

Love, love, love,

    Hi MissMamie:

    How wonderful to see you.  I haven't seen you on here the last few times I have "checked in on SC".  Happy New Year to you and yours.  I hope trust and pray that this will be a blessed year for you and yours. 

    About the "time" in here?  Well...we may have entered the twilight zone, or some no-time, or relative-time-space here!  You never know on the net!

    Love to you and yours,

    Bless you, truth.

    Happy New Year truth!

    You are a remarkable woman whom I have so much respect for.  It is so wonderful to have been able to read this post.  I was smiling all the way through.  You face the new year with that same love, vigour and passion that I see in all your posts.

    Your faith is a real beautiful thing to behold.

    Take care

    Thank you so much pusscat.  That really means a lot to me.  Grace abounds in my life, just as it can in everyone's life.  I love to share my faith in my Lord, it is my greatest blessing in this life.  Thank you for noticing; it really helps.  I am starting to catch up on here a bit, and writing more elsewhere too.  I would like to read some of your blogs today.  I'll see you there pusscat.  Love, love, love,   Truthsayer : )  
  • truthsayer said on Jan 02, 2009....
    Beyond, it makes me happy that my blog made you happy.  What a treasure that is.  You have given me another gift today then...a gift of your smile and tenderness.  Yes, the puppy is a blessing too.  His name is Scooter, and he belongs to my youngest.  I didn't know if I'd have money for Christmas...so a warm puppy was a huge blessing!

    My middle daughter got a Birthday kitten for her birthday in November too.  She is a quirky and beautiful addition to our little family...she fit right in.  ; )  Her name is Cocoa.  And my parakeet, of course, my little Moon Shadow came several years ago...and in bird-years...he is an old man I guess.  He has been with us through thick and thin.  He is the only animal that we had that made it through losing our home and even lived in motels with us.  So, he is a survivor and thriver just like we are.  : ) 

    Happy New Year friend...to you and all that you love.

    Happy New Year CreativeWoman!  It is so good to see you!  I am happy by choice m'lady.  It isn't by circumstance, as you well know.  Like you, life has dealt me some pretty hard deals.  But you know what?  I'd rather have the troubles here in this life,  than have all my rewards now and face an eternity of trouble.  Seeing you in here is a bright spot in my day CW.  You are always in my prayers.  You have risen above your circumstances and shine with grace and humor.  I am still waiting to read some of your humorous and observant "country living stories".  Bless me with one some day soon, will you?

    Have a blessed 2009.

  • PieterOpie said on Jan 02, 2009....
    You could learn a bit more about not gloating about your perfect life.  Pride is a sin is it not?  Your lord might prefer a more silent and private gratitude.  Besides I don't believe in human perfection anyway.  Muslims at least have to good taste to agree that only god is perfect... and their god is the same one as yours you'll remember.  As far as your lord (or any other) blessing me goes; no thanks.  That would be a waste of magic since I don't believe in nonsense like that.  Besides it was not intended for non-believers.  I have never met a real christian before who actually does love his neighbours regardless of who they are.  If they are not "like them" then they are less than "perfect" and that seems to be the only thing here that counts.  You do not deal with the sinful and less than ideal, do you?  When you help others like you people pretend to do they are almost always less blessed christians and not drug additct or people with unsavory backgrounds.  There are industrial strength christians who handle them.... you think....  maybe not.  In any case America is a land of opportunity and if you are in the gutter it must be your own fault - is that right?  Why don't you ask HIM if you ought to be helping those scumbags?  Jesus would be there helping the filth of society after all.  He had his priorities right.  He could not be bothered with gloaters like you.  I wonder what skeletons lurk in your perfect life?  Any addictions in the family - extended family?  What about fags... you know, homosexuals?  No?  Most normal families have some "stains" on them.  Perhaps you're just not looking hard enough.

    It is women like you who go to pieces the worst when they discover their perfect husband is bonking some young tart or some young guy.  (There are 40 million closet gays hiding in perfect marriages according to Oprah).  That would make you rethink perfection wouldn't it?  Na... gays make ideal husbands anyway.  One could do worse.

    Lady I wish you now malice but frankly your boasting makes me ill.  Just be delightfully happy and pray to your god or whatever the hell you think runs your world and hope the arse doesn't fall out of your little ideal world or you'll go quite mad. It happens all the time in your god forsaken country.  You have the highest divorce rate in the known universe you know.  Many of them came from perfect lives too. 

    Before I go let me say I find your screen name a little annoying.  I don't agree that your narrow view of reality is the truth.  The truth is not as pretty as your world.  You need to get out and get dirty a bit more.  Go see what America really is.  Do something to earn that grand title of christian.  It means spreading the love you claim to have for those not like you.  Don't sit there in your materially comfortable house with your flawless kiddies and magnificent husband and saintly mother.... oh, and holier than us pets, go and work the gutters lady.  Hug someone who smell bad.  Wash their feet and dry them with your store-bought hair-do.   Get real.

    Oh.... and for god's sake... stop gloating.  I don't care about your life, just those who don't have much of a life; the have-nots. 


  • PieterOpie said on Jan 02, 2009....
    Was that too harsh?   Sorry... don't mind me.  I'm not "in the faith".  Otherwise I would have said something nice.


  • truthsayer said on Jan 02, 2009....

    I am so sorry for your pain PieterOpie. I understand pain, very well. My life is far from perfect, but I am willing to be perfected by God.

    My life is not defined by my circumstances PeiterOpie. My bragging, or my gloating, as you call it, is about my Lord...not me, not the perfection of my life, but His the perfection of Him who keeps me. I am a peace and content because although I have true tragedy in my life right now...I am assured the ultimate victory and I know that "it is well with my soul." This is the "joy" that I brag about. God's perfection, not my own.

    I do have wonderful relationships in my life, but I give God all the glory for that. Left to my own devices, I would, and have failed miserably in the past. If you knew what all we have been through as a family...and are still going through, you would know that I have chosen to be grateful, even joyful, in spite of my life circumstances.

    But I wish you well, and I pray that your pain is eased, and that you come to know the One, the Only One that can truly ease your pain. He heals the broken hearted and binds up our wounds. He doesn't say that we will never be broken hearted or wounded...but, He is the One that sees us through every crisis, if only we will let Him. I have not taken offense in anyway by anything you said, so please don't worry about that.

    I happen to work with jails and prisons and people that are completely down and out. I work in a ministry that endeavors to visit the widows and orphans in their troubles, visit and pray for the sick and those in prison. This is the only true religion, as it says in the book of James in the Holy Bible. So surely I do know what a nasty and dirty world this has become.

    You obviously do not know this but I myself have been homeless in the last year. We have legal battles that would overwhelm me if it were not for my Faith. My husband has been prevented from being with us at this time. I have faith that I will be able to keep this modest little roof over our heads, with God's Help, while he is away.

    In these dangerous times in America, more than ever, I specifically work with those that have either fallen through the cracks in society, or those whose hearts have become hardened, but they still seek The Truth.

    I am a media evangelist. I am a hunter sent into the rocks and crevices to find people like you and to let them  know that God loves them and Jesus died for them, so that they ( or "you") can come back into right relationship with our heavenly Father...so that "you" can receive the Helper, the Comforter, the Holy Spirit.

    Everyone deserves a second chance...a meal, a home, a hug and they deserve to know The Truth in LOVE. That is to say, everyone deserves it that will honestly receive The Truth...and then, dedicate their lives to Him...even unto death. I hope you feel the Love that He is offering you right now through me, His humble handmaiden.

    But please do not worry, you have not offended me in the least.

    Blessings in His Namesake,

  • PieterOpie said on Jan 02, 2009....
    I love it when I make assumptions and am proven wrong.  I revel in humiliation.  Seriously I am glad to see you do get into the gritty part of helping others.  I am amazed that a TV evangelist could ever be homeless unless you meant that your palace was being redecorated or something; like a leaky toilet maybe... What are you doing wrong or different to all those vile TV preachers in $12,000 suits who drive six cars at once and own a Jet for Jesus?  They give you a bad name.  Believe me... they do.

    You also assumed something.  I am not in pain unless you mean in the lose sense in how I nauseated I am by The Lords boasting and gloating.  He ought to get a life. The way I see it you did everything you did by yourself.  Your belief in a magician in the clouds probably gave you the strength and confidence but you did it.  Even if I did believe in the big guy I think he would just exist and mind his own business.  She or they or he would not lift a finger between them to make life better or worse for us folk down here.  We are just clever apes in space suits after all.  No god/s is/are.... OK I'll use "him".... No god is going to save anyone from harm, evil or themselves.  He does not judge or care to be honest. If he did then how do you explain so many claiming to know his mind and how those minds differ so vasty from each other.  You say he is this, the Pope says he is something else, Muslims say he is on their side as do the Jews.  He can't be caring about all those conflicting bits of conflict and stay true to each one and then still make you praise is imperfect perfection.  

    And why is he a he in the first place? Isn't that a little childish, a little backward?  If he created us instead of the other way around then how come he needed a body like ours?   A body that depends on legs for transport. Can't he just float?  Does he go to the toilet?   Does he need a haircut regularly and does he pick his nose?  WHY the human body????   It is ludicrous. Now that we have begun to see that if we wait and study things we find there are rational reasons for everything and we do not need a god to explain all those things that used to frighten us in the past when we were dumb as rocks (with fossils in them, hehehe).   Do you really think he wants to to think the bible is literal?  How stupid does he think we are?  Oh.... I guess he knows how stupid....  oops.

    Well my dear, I have so many questions to which there are no satisfactory answers.  I admire your firm belief if it is real.  I often wonder you know.  I occasionally think the Pope knows it is all bullshit but what can he say?  Obviously he has to carry on.  It's a living. 

    BTW I believe the Pope should have been a woman because research strongly suggests that Jesus's wife Mary was his primary guy.... Peter was jealous and stole the business from her and destroyed he reputation.  You know the rest.

    Thanks again for the pain relief.... I think it's working......  my feet hurt.  No wonder - the sinful path I have tread. hehe

    Bless you (an empty gesture - sorry I have nothing of my own).  Stop showing god off.  Other gods will get pissed off.  Yours is no better than the others.  Say hi to the jailbirds and rethink that TV stuff.  Some mornings there is nothing else on and I hate that.  It's intrusive and so very very silly.

    Bye.  (don't bless me again or I'll barf)   Pieter.  kissy kissy & hugs.

    Yes TL, I did handle it...you are right.  It stretched me and I had to remember many things that He has taught me, like one when He told me to "distribute my weight evenly."  I won't go into exactly how that has applied, but it is amazing, non-the -less.  I did not know what He meant when He said it...but I certainly knew what He meant when I needed it.

    Soaring?  Yes, I am ready to soar.  This book is exciting.  I have a newsletter that I write and send around, and there is much interest in it.  I am working with Prison Fellowship Ministries and helping to put together a packet for all prison and jail inmates and their families to receive, so that our government, through misinformation, disinformation or ignorance, will not financially abuse those that have the least money in our society.  After all, if they had money, they would have been bailed out of jail at least.  But the book is what really has me going right now.

    We have already been blessed with this ministry, before it is formally recognized.  I don't care about "formal"...never have...never will.  I just want to do what is right, like my heavenly Father does. 

    How are you doing my dear friend in the mystical island land that I so hope to see one day?  How is that new job and all the other creative changes you have made in your life?

    Love you friend.

Besides the bible was written by self-serving folk who were all trying to compete for the hearts and minds of the jews.  Starting a new religion was as popular then as it is now.  Everyone was doing it.  The one you follow is just the one that made it.  The others never got to the publisher - so to speak. 

    And what is all this about Jesus being the son of god?  Nobody mentions him in the first testament.  What's he doing?  Or hadn't he been born yet?  Did god have to have a lady god to have him?  He has that human body and all....  And why could he not just whack him on earth all nice and complete?  Why bother that Mary lady and risk marital problems over a so called imaculate conception?  Babies do not just appear inside ladies.  Your abstinance program should teach you that it takes fooling around.  hahahaha....  That created quite a few more virgin births than condoms and eduction ever did.  Silly silly people....

    But I digress.  I do so often - not being foccussed like religious folk....

I have no pain.  Not me!!!  I deny it all.  (ouuuuwwwch...)

    BTW I believe the Pope should have been a woman because research strongly suggests that Jesus's wife Mary (Magdelena) was his primary guy er, girl.... Peter was jealous and stole the business from her and destroyed he reputation.  You know the rest - and believe it apparently.

    Thanks again for the pain relief.... I think it's working......  my feet hurt.  No wonder - the sinful path I have tread. hehe

  • truthsayer said on Jan 02, 2009....
    Hello again PeiterOpie.  At least you can admit when you are wrong.  Humility is good for all of us...myself included.  First off, I am not a famous TV evangelist.  I am a writer, journalist, and I had a few radio shows.  All little stuff from little me. 

    But they are all different forms of media and I love the Lord, know Him well and talk about Him all the time...and it was from a dream that came after a preacher had prayed for the Lord to reveal their purpose to the people in his church...the Lord showed me my life, the things I did and continued to do...and He put a name on it:  Media Evangelist.  Simple.  Ok...simple for Him.  Thank God He is always patient to help me to understand these things about myself ; )  Even when I am being "thick-headed"!

    Now, for a guy that speaks of quantum physics as you do, you sure sound like a linear and concrete thinker.  I am glad that you seem open to thought and discussion though.  It's refreshing.  God doesn't mind you questioning Him either.  He doesn't mind your probing, and whether you realize it or not...He has an AWESOME sense of humor!  He made us, didn't He? Just kidding...now, settle down Peiter ; )

    Seriously, you asked some really good questions and made some interesting observations.  Like you, I am not terribly fond of assumptions either.  Especially about God.  But that is what life is all about...learning to investigate instead of assuming, right? 

    So, first off, I noticed that you think that God is like you, or me.  Instead of thinking that we are created to be in relationship with Him.  He is not limited by the physical as we are, here and now.  You should know that from quantum physics, that all things are "created" formed, made visible, from things which are not seen.  Right?  Thank God for microscopes! 

    We learn more and more about the known universe, but we know less and less about Who, What or How this existence of ours could have possibly happened by "chance".  I won't go any farther into that right now.  I wouldn't want to "bless you" with more discussion than you're up for : )  At least not so early in our "relationship" : ) 

    I have a powerful sense of humor, and let me apologize in advance...I have to watch my sarcastic streak.  Just ask SeanRenaud if you don't believe me.  I do not take offense easily and I do take the Lord seriously...but I rarely take myself too seriously.  At least I always do my best to be humble.  (Even that sounds kind of vain, doesn't it? ; )  So please, when I am kidding around...let me, ok?  It is hard for me to fulfill everyone's false assumptions about what I should act like as a good Christian.  ; ) 

    Let's take it easy, get to know each other (if you want to) and just "hang out" when we interact, if we continue to interact.  I used to have a regular blog called "The Cosmic Cafe'".  Perhaps I'll write a few of those again.  Who knows?  For now, I am writing a book and writing to keep a roof over our heads until my husband is back home with us.  So if I'm not around much, you'll know why. 

    Just know that the Lord has brought you to my attention, and I will do my best to be a "friend" of sorts, to you if you can take it ; )  And I'll do what I can to ease your "discomfort" with Christianity and God.  Ok? I am not condescending to you.  I am being straight with you. 

    Take good care of yourself and everyone else that you possibly can.

    One humble truthsayer,

    Truth : )

    That was weird I swear I just wrote that like to minutes ago.

    It's me... the doubting Pieter.

    I am beginning to like you - that is nice isn't it?   Don't mess with my brain lady or I will have to summon the dark forces and before you know it there will be cherubs and demons having it out all over cyberspace.... fighting for my mind and your soul. 

    It is PIETER....  I know, I'm fussy and I too am vain. 

    I'm glad you can take it on the chin although I wasn't aiming for that part of you.  I do not think of god in any way as you say I do.  I use other people's forms so that the conversations flows more easily.  With my rants it needs to be able to flow.... flow right out the window occasionally.  Nobody likes a rave that goes nowhere and mine usually don't.

    As for quantum physics.... ah yes.  The world that makes no sense.  According to all that stuff the universe could have simply popped into being from absolutely nothing.  No need for god or devils or anything else.

    Personally I think it has always existed in one form or another without beginning or end.  I don't especially need there to be a starting point.   Nor do I feel the need to have something in control of it all.  It just is. 

    But I do enjoy arguing about it and wrestling with those who claim to hear god telling them what to do - including going on TV (not you) and telling the gullible to send money for Jesus.  Don't those guys belong in prison or something.  Why does your government let them con people like that?  It's outrageous.  Next thing you'll allow those crazy Scientologists to do business as if they were a legitimate concern other than a pure money-making racket.   Racket... is that how you spell it?  Like the tennis thingy??

    Bye for now.  You're a good sport. 

    P.S.  I may change my screen name to ULTIMATE TRUTH-ABOVE ALL THE OTHERS WITHOUT EXCEPTION.    I don't like the definite nature of yours.....  (hahaha)

    Okay PIETER...sorry man.  You can be my new athiest friend.  : )   I kind of like the nickname "toots".  I think I'll nickname you "pie"...sort of a mathematical abstraction for one who believes as you do, or "don't".  But it means something different and deeper to folks like me, although I choose to keep that deeper meaning private for now.  So, what country do you live in and/or what country are you from?

    Oh, BBGood? 

    The clock is "off" at Soul Cast.  It has been doing that for a while now.  It may be so that people cannot edit their comments or something.  So, be careful what you say and how you say it, because it will always be there.  Unless the person that has the blog will delete it for you, you know?  Talk to you later.  Nice to "meet" you.

    Hi chook (that is Aussie for chicken and a term of endearment),

    I am Dutch and I live in Sydney, Australia.  I am the product of the two most sensible nations on earth.  Not the greatest.... you make that absurd claim.... just the most sensible.  Well, the Dutch are excruciatingly super sensible as everybody knows and the Aussies have got their feet firmly panted in the real world and not something invented by propagandists or a Hollywood or Disneyland idea of what is "nice".  Aussies are the first to laugh at themselves when they or their country does something stupid.  The Dutch of course don't ever do anything stupid. But they too have a great self-deprecating sense of humour.  American's don't easily laugh at themselves if it cuts too close to the bone.  Some can be a teensy bit sensitive at times.   A fatal flaw.

    So you see... remove all my faults and foibles and you have a person who is practically perfect.   Divine almost.  I glow in the dark..... 

    It's just a pity that I am often wrong and don't know what the hell I am on about; otherwise I would be a fountain of wisdom and genius even....  yes..... genius.  Hmmm, I like the sound of that.   Gen-i-ous.....   yessssssssss........ 


    mwhuhahhahahaha...... HHAHAHAHAHAA.... HAAARRR DEEHARRRHAHAAAAHHH!!!!!  



    <cough>





    uhoh....... I forgot where I was.   hehe...  bye





    Dutch.... in Australia........  <zzzzip>

  • truthsayer said on Jan 04, 2009....
    Okay Pie...What's it going to be, "toots" or "chook"?  ; )  I thought I sensed the Dutch...but I didn't catch the Aussie.  I have other Aussie pals on SC.  Know them?

    Mamie!  Yes Girl...I am "back" : )  It sure is good to see you around here again too.  I really appreciate it.  "WWWWWWaves" at you in true but sassy sistahood!

    Talk to y'all later...in America and allllll around the world!!!!

    Love, love, love,
    Truth, truth, truth,
