Promises We Make And The Importance Of Keeping Them – Many Offend
I think all of us has a child inside of us that feels good when promises are kept. This is a message for Today isn’t it?......where so many promises are not kept with the busy rush and pace of life_ it's activity and responsibilities? For me, I said to Jesus with some very genuine people who had good intentions I'm sure.... "regardless of those, they too have let me down."
Sometimes people can damage our trust with broken promises through sheer carelessness (rash promises) or neglect.…

These are stressful days we are living in – there’s no doubt about that – and many people are becoming “Needs-Orientated” because they don’t have managing skills. These are Life Skills we all need to develop and some mistakenly expect others to have these Life Skills for them.

To Salt Or Not To Salt? That Is The Question – Some Facts Will Surprise You!
An interesting question. I remember standing at a Bakery counter about 20 years ago when I bought a quiche as did someone next to me. We asked for a little salt to be sprinkled on them and the reply was, they can't do that, they don't have any salt shaker in the place and they don't use salt. Talk about extremists, they were determining what we could or could not do, based on medical blurb I call paranoia.
At that time, "No Salt" was being promoted - many people joined in the craze and some Cafes weren't placing salt shakers on their tables anymore.…

When Family Members And Friends Offend By Imposing Their Problems On You Repeatedly…
Especially the same problem "over and over" some people are heavy weights at that and there seems no way of escaping them. Ever felt weighed down like that "time after time" in addition to whatever your concerns may be?
Hi Friends, I’ve experienced a lot of this kind of thing for some years and may be able to help you.
Everything’s Changing – What To Make Of This? What Should We Do?
While I do not have any religious persuasions or church affiliations, I do have time for Jesus and have experienced a transformation in my heart and life, many years ago that is not found in religion or “Social Gospel” that sadly lacks these days. So many people are cheated of the real thing – don’t sell yourself short.
Why write this article? Because there’s so much happening around us and I feel that people deserve an explanation without religious creeds or agendas. I do love the words of Jesus when they’re not misconstrued – and they afford many answers to life’s situations. Especially the times we are living in that are so baffling to many.
We also need to strengthen Family Bonds and relationships in a day and age that has it's challenges - essentially we are as strong as our Families and Friendships are and spiritually too. Speaking for myself, relating closely with our Creator and Jesus our Saviour, wins over religious duties and "church attendance"........
I may share a little about that in other posts but do not wish to impose agendas on you. I have found many visitors to my Poem Website like to view pages like those which are totally separate (they have many views and people have commented to me afterwards offline, saying they enjoy them).…

Palmolive Naturals Personal Care Products – A Community Concern!
AS IF WE DON'T HAVE ENOUGH MISLEADING CHEMICAL PRODUCTS OUT THERE WHEN SHOPPING, PALMOLIVE HAS INTRODUCED A WHOLE RANGE OF SO-CALLED NATURAL PRODUCTS ONTO THE MARKET WITH A 'NATURALS' NAME TAG, AFTER INNOCENT MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC and HEALTH CONSCIOUS PEOPLE.
