JESUS IS ON THE MAIN LINE. CALL HIM UP!
By Vernalee Growing up, our church choir performed a song that we as kids would sing not completely realizing the meaning until we grew older. The song, “Jesus is on the main line, call him up.” We know now that we talk to the Lord through our daily petitions and prayers. We can read the Bible and find solutions to our problems. We have an open line to God. He hears us! He answers our prayers! What a mighty God we serve! Amen! Happy Sunday! Blessings!

LOVE, LIKE RAIN, DOES NOT CHOOSE THE GRASS ON WHICH IT FALLS
By Vernalee Love is a feeling that we desire. Absence a heartbreak or two, it makes us feel heavenly... most of the time. "Love is also a heartfelt emotion that comes automatically for a person as you will feel it in your heart. It penetrates your soul. And when that happens, your love will automatically pour out for the person just like rain. A true human heart should love without differentiating. Rain, when it falls does not choose the grass on which it will fall. For a

WHAT SONG WAS A HIT THE YEAR YOU WERE BORN?
By Vernalee What was the hit record on the date of your birth? Finding out is fun! I know that you are just as curious as I was! The website (www.Playback.fm) will provide the answer. My curiosity placed me in a discovery zone. So, I immediately checked out the site to see what the hits were on the dates that my children were born. On my son’s date of birth, the # one hit was Elton John’s and Kiki Dee’s, "Don’t go breaking my heart.” “Say, Say, Say” (Paul McCartney and Mic

THE POWER OF AN APOLOGY
By Vernalee It takes a real man or woman to apologize for a misstep. For some people, the word – apology – is not in their glossary of words. When that word is uttered, it is an admission to an error or mistake. Egotistical people have difficulties making such a statement because in their minds they are never wrong! The two words, “I’m sorry” is too big for some people to utter. So the question becomes: Would you rather apologize and show someone that you care or would yo

WHAT GOES AROUND, COMES AROUND.
By Vernalee Do you believe in karma? Whether the answer is yes or no, remember this. What goes around comes around! This five word phrase (which uses one of the words twice) is so generically simple, but realistically true! Let me show you what I mean. Years ago, my Mother told me, “Escalators take you up and bring you down. Treat people right! The same people that you see going up, you may see coming down!” Keeping a dignified balance of fairness in life is critical to your
