SPRING-cleaning your 'Never-ending-To-do Lists'

By L. E. Skelton (Leticia Skelton) -
SPRING is here!

Uh-oh: Spring cleaning (and the TO-DO LISTS!)

I don't know about you, but I am a list maker
I am a 'jot-downer'
I love tables, bullets, numbers, topics ... and subtopics
(Is that a sign of a cluttered mind in need of release?)

I hate to even write this, but...
... would this mean STRESS???

When life gets too hectic, it usually starts in the mind!
So much information...
... creating the need for more information...
(like scratching the itch that itches and spreads its 'itchy-bug' or eating a small piece of chocolate and catching the 'cocoa-craving')

List it and hate it!

This online world, too, can be overwhelming!

Links leading to links
Association to association
Thought to thought

Like plucking the first feather out of a pillow... and watching the second come out (and pulling it out too, followed by its feathery followers!)
Or popping bubbles on an (almost) endless bubble wrap sheet!

Oh, but wait: it has become somewhat of an interminable video game ... filled with totally different scenarios and multiple bosses to vanquish (and it never ends, does it?)

IS THERE AN END TO THE NEVER-ENDING MADNESS?

Amazingly, YES:
I may love and hate SPRING TO-DO LISTS, 
but thank God for DEADLINES!!!

(End of Story?)

The Day Black Friday Died

By L. E. Skelton (Leticia Skelton) -

Have you been scouring all the online and newspaper ads for the best deals? Is your virtual shopping cart already stuffed to the brim with the Pre-Black Friday bargains? How much are you planning to spend (or have already spent) on things you “must” get? Is it all about Black Friday (and Cyber Monday) this week? YES, I have also been trapped in this seemingly irresistible shopping spree before, in which all we seem to see and hear is: up to XYZ% OFF, free shipping, limited supplies, ends in less than a day, get yours NOW! That’s when Black Friday had to die: I broke free from its grip by the power of CONTENTMENT! And I made a list… What is your Thanksgiving List? If you haven’t made one, I can show you mine: I am THANKFUL for: Life Family  Work  But, above all, I am thankful for The One who has given me Life, Family, and Work: my Creator! He has made me glad! And now I don’t need all the Black Friday deals or anything that would stand in the way of worshipping my God! Thus, I lea

The Best Way to Celebrate Valentine's Day

By L. E. Skelton (Leticia Skelton) -

Yes, today is Valentine’s Day in the USA. A day marked with expressions of love and affection, especially romantic love. A time of reflection for the single and the married. A reminder of how decisions matter and how our choices can alter our lives forever. As Christians, married or not, we ought to be first and foremost thankful to God for the life He has given us and abide in Him, as the branches are connected to the vine. The moment we were redeemed by Jesus Christ’s blood sacrifice on the cross, we received the indwelling of the Holy Spirit, Who is one with Jesus (The Son) and The Father. At that very instant, our bodies became the Temple of God, and God in us is the most important reason to celebrate LOVE each day … If you are single, know that the Lord understands loneliness, and He does not want anyone to be alone: someone is out there, especially made for you! Our wonderful Creator knows the desires of your heart and wants you to become one flesh with that specia

Supernatural Deployments

By L. E. Skelton (Leticia Skelton) -

Supernatural... The first time it happened  was on Christmas Eve, 2011.  We left central Texas and started heading north toward my husband’s hometown. A four-and-a-half-hour drive ahead. After about three hours, it started to snow. Our brother-in-law had warned us about the weather, but we wanted to visit family that holiday, so we kept going, thinking we would get there safely.  Then ice, wind, and snow started to make it increasingly treacherous to move and harder to see the road ahead. We were caught smack dab in a blizzard. A barely visible sign read “Windthorst 10 miles”. We passed several vehicles parked by the side of the road, unoccupied. Where were the drivers? Then we saw a truck, a car, and a few people around them. They were trying to tie chains to the bumpers of each vehicle. We figured the truck was supposed to pull the smaller car out of the accumulated snow around it. My husband and my son decided to stop and help. Leaving our truck, they walked up to the scene. I watch
