Vergie6's Blog

I wrote this in hearsetrax's blog when he posted about Grumpy cat's passing away but decided to put it in mine too.

Since I miss my kitty cats I just want to get it off my chest again here too!

I saw that on the news about Grumpy cat...may she rest in peace...maybe she will see my last 4 cats up there in heaven...2 persians lived to be 17 each and the last 2 I had one was !2 & died of cancer in the stomach last year and the other one just died recently of cancer in the mouth...she was operated on but it came back.

I still miss her so very very much...still look at "her" boston rocker where she laid every morning
when I would go make my coffee and she's not there any longer...I still look at the empty chair...miss her so much!

When one of the persians died I dreamed of him and he was running with a lot of other cats and looked over and saw me and broke away from the rest of them and jumped in my arms and we held each other a minute or two then he jumped down and ran back to play with the rest of them...I had just read something about cats in a meadow earlier & still had it on my mind!
I didn't worry about him any longer.

I think the others joined him there in that meadow and they are all still playing and not in pain any longer....this will sound off the wall to some but when I pray I ask God to say hello to my last one Priscilla (Prissy) tell her I still love her and to all 4 of them.

I had broken one appt. to have her put down and had to make another one a week or so later because I knew I was being selfish for letting her suffer & she was not going to get better...she hung on as long as she possibly could for me....all of them did.

Cats & Dogs love humans unconditionally not like some humans who put conditions on their love.
I want another cat but have been putting it off...it hurts so bad when you have to let them go.
Sorry to go on and on about this...guess I should have put all of this in my own blog...sorry Hearsetrax!

Slick Nick you have your comments locked but just want to say I thought this was so funny!

Which grocery store was that...I sure would like to meet the person who made that sign as long time ago

my ex and I were in the grocery business too...don't think we made any signs like that!

Maybe if we had we might have sold more bananas!

Happy Easter to you hearsetrax!

Thought you might like this since you love kitty cats as much as I do!

Also Happy Easter to Everybody!

I have never ever seen anyone like her....absolutely crazy and knows nothing about what she is talking about.

There are a couple more in the democratic party almost as bad but she is the very worst!

God help us if many listen to her!...don't think they will if they have any sense at all.

Keep watching what the former ice director has to say about her big mis-information she always puts out.

Thanks for letting me get this off my chest!

Here's another one.

You just have to watch this video.  It's about a crow who raises a stray kitten...they're not even supposed to like cats.

If it were not for the crow the kitten would not have made it and they became best friends watching out for each other.

The vet told the couple who found them to document it for a few months because if not nobody would believe it.

I was sitting here and somebody's horn got stuck on their car blowing and I thought maybe it might be mine so almost broke my neck getting dressed to go out and stop it & wouldn't you know it when I finally got out there it had stopped.

My neighbor said she didn't think it was mine anyway.

Nothing like excitement to get myself going this Christmas morning... now have to get some of the meal together & get the table set for my company to come & eat with me...Yay!...get to open more presents.

My daughter is bringing most of the food for me...that is a first...seems good not to have to cook much today!

Merry Christmas to everybody!

This is so cute...it's about a dog & cat becoming best friends.

It's a little over 6 minutes long but if you like animals I think you will like to watch all of it.

I just did so wanted to share it!

Dr65 started a thread in 2010 & this was the name of it below.

LP Family Photo Album - Who's Picture Would You Like To See?

I saved a copy of some of the pictures someone put together on one page & posted it.

Thought maybe you would like to see it.

Here's the link to the thread.

...most of the pictures have been deleted now on the thread since it was 

8 years ago but here's the link to it.

https://www.lotterypost.com/thread/206962/1517644

Here's the copy of the pictures I have saved.

Who is that "good looking" man whose pictured first!...WOW!

Sure hope nobody pictured here minds if I posted this in my blog since it's already posted on that thread.

Some don't post any longer but if you see yourself or someone you know how about making a comment.

I wish we could do this one again...it was so much fun thanks to Dr65 for doing it!

I was told today to look to God for winning the lottery so I said I do look to God every day but when it comes to gambling I think

 God gives us a choice that we choose not him.

 Didn't mean to get anyone upset by saying that but that's still how I feel & I will still play the lottery believing that.

I'm not the only one who believes that way as I have discussed it with friends before but not on LP as I can remember....anyway I looked this up

& thought I would share it with whoever would like to read it.

 

Question: "What does the Bible say about playing the lottery?"

Answer: The word gamble means “to risk something of value on an outcome that depends on chance.” Because the outcome of a lottery “depends on chance” and playing it involves “risk,” then, by definition, playing the lottery is gambling.

The Bible has no examples of a lottery, but it does contain instances of gambling: Samson’s wager in Judges 14:12 and the soldiers’ gambling over Jesus’ garments in Mark 15:24. In neither case is gambling presented in a good light. The Bible also mentions the casting of lots for the purpose of decision making (Joshua 18:10; Nehemiah 10:34). And Proverbs 16:33 emphasizes the sovereignty of God: “The lot is cast into the lap, but its every decision is from the LORD.” But the biblical purpose of casting lots was not to test one’s luck or to gain material wealth.

The main purpose of playing the lottery is to win money, and the Bible tells us what our attitude toward money should be. So often, riches get in the way of a man’s spiritual benefit (Mark 4:19; 10:25). Jesus teaches, “No one can serve two masters. Either you will hate the one and love the other, or you will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money” (Luke 16:13). First Timothy 6:10 is where we find the famous warning that the love of money is the root of all kinds of evil.

Playing the lottery as a get-rich-quick scheme is statistically futile, and it focuses the lottery player on the temporary riches of this world (see Proverbs 23:5). The fact is, God wants people to earn their money honestly by working hard: “The one who is unwilling to work shall not eat” (2 Thessalonians 3:10). We ought to gain wealth through diligence, as a gift from the Lord: “Lazy hands make for poverty, but diligent hands bring wealth” (Proverbs 10:4).

Gamblers, including players of the lottery, typically covet money and the things that money can buy. God forbids covetousness: “You shall not covet your neighbor’s house. You shall not covet your neighbor’s wife, or his male or female servant, his ox or donkey, or anything that belongs to your neighbor” (Exodus 20:17; see also 1 Timothy 6:10). One of the world’s lies is that money is the answer to life’s problems. People are lured into playing the lottery with promises that their lives will improve if they can only hit the jackpot. If they can just get lucky with the numbers, their problems will disappear. Such hopes are empty (see Ecclesiastes 5:10–15).

So, we would do well to be cautious about playing the lottery. There are many better uses for the money spent on a ticket, and we must guard our hearts against covetousness and our lives against addictions to gaming. Buying a lottery ticket here and there may not be a sin, but greed is. Those playing the lottery must prayerfully examine their motives and, if they continue playing, do so responsibly and only in moderation.

I thought this was so cute...so wanted to share it!

I have a little book called Abundant Living by E. Stanley Jones. I read meditations in it every morning and it has really helped me but last Saturday morning at 1am I had a scary time...called 911 before I thought things thru. When I was in the hospital last May30th thru June 2nd I found out I had a heart condition that is controlled by medication but sometimes I freak out with it mostly in the middle of the night when I wake up.

Here's a picture of the book I love so much.

The condition is under control with medication but last Saturday morning at 1am I called 911 before I calmed myself down....I know what to do but did not do everything I had been told to do...had a doctors follow up visit yesterday and I'm ok....just freaked out because I thought I may have been having a heart attack...had 5 men in my bedroom...3 from the fire dept. and 2 medics.

...one of them did an EKG and it was fine...the firemen left...I was so grateful they got there when they did but I decided not to go with them...when I said I thought I was having a heart attack one of the medics said if I had thought you were having one we would have been pulling up to the hospital by now...he said it was most likely anxiety from freaking out over my heart beating so fast...could have gotten a little out of rhythm.

I've read a lot about this condition and a lot of people have it and don't even know it & that is why they drop dead of a heart attack or stroke because it goes untreated...no telling how long I have had it....it's called at Atrial fibrillation & it's when your heart gets out of rhythm.

...so in the hospital they shocked it back into the correct rhythm and the medication I'm taking keeps it under control but sometimes like in the middle of the night I wake up and my heart is racing so I know what to do but freaked out last Sat. morning & called 911 before doing what I should to calm down...called them at least 3 times right after I came home from the hospital and went to the hospital one time the first part of June but was ok.

Some of you may have it & not know you do or may know someone who has it...I strike up conversations with strangers in stores all the time and have found a lot of people who have it young and old or know someone who does have it so you have to be sure to go to the doctor & be checked out if you think you may have it.

My neighbors brother was helping another neighbor trim trees some time ago and he was a young man in his early 40's and he fell out of the tree & had symptoms of a heart attack but wanted to go inside to change clothes before going to the ER well by the time he stepped up to get in the car he fell over dead....not telling you this to scare you but if I can help someone to save their life is why I'm telling about this.

Take care and please keep me & others who have this in your prayers!

I pray for all of you every day!

Love that dog Remo you posted today that is your company's watchdog!....bet he's a good one!

So, have we solved the secret of happiness?

"I believe so," he said.

Are you going to tell me?

"Yes. Ready?"

Ready.

"Be satisfied."

That's it?

"Be grateful."

That's it?

"For what you have. For the love you receive. And for what God has given you."

That's it?

He looked me in the eye. Then he sighed deeply.

"That's it.”
