My stress is always self inflicted, Prayer brings me out of it. I hoping and Praying that my MiniMax Concrete mixers takes off. I have a very important meeting in Olean NY Wednesday with a manufacturer and supplier over them doing the majority of the work as I sell them.

It’s amazing to me that the Lord answers Prayers in ways He does. Seems through the website people have been tracking down their phone number instead of calling me. That sparked much interest from them and they called me to arrange the meeting. I could not have done that on my own, He intervened.

Here is my site and my Mixers http://www.minimaxconcrete.com/

Comments made in the year 1955

(only 53 years ago!?!?!?!)

“I'll tell you one thing, if things keep going the way they are, it's going to be impossible to buy a week's groceries for $20.00.”

“Have you seen the new cars coming out next year? It won't be long before you can't get one for $2,000.00.

“If cigarettes keep going up in price, I'm going to quit. A quarter a pack is ridiculous.

“Did you hear the post office is thinking about charging a nickel just to mail a letter?”

“If they raise the minimum wage to $1.00, nobody will be able to hire outside help at the store.”

“When I first started driving, who would have thought gas would someday cost 29 cents a gallon . Guess we'd be better off leaving the car in the garage.”

“Kids today are impossible. Those duck tail hair cuts make it impossible to stay groomed. Next thing you know, boys will be wearing their hair as long as the girls.”

“I'm afraid to send my kids to the movies any more. Ever since they let Clark Gable get by with saying DAMN in GONE WITH THE WIND, it seems every new movie has either HELL or DAMN in it.”

“I read the other day where some scientist thinks it's possible to put a man on the moon by the end of the century. They even have some fellows they call astronauts preparing for it down in Texas .”

“Did you see where some baseball player just signed a contract for $75,000 a year just to play ball? It wouldn't surprise me if someday they'll be making more than the President.”

“I never thought I'd see the day all our kitchen appliances would be electric They are even making electric typewriters now.”

“It's too bad things are so tough nowadays. I see where a few married women are having to work to make ends meet.”

“It won't be long before young couples are going to have to hire someone to watch their kids so they can both work.”

“Marriage doesn't mean a thing any more, those Hollywood stars seem to be getting divorced at the drop of a hat.”

“I'm afraid the Volkswagen car is going to open the door to a whole lot of foreign business.”

“Thank goodness I won't live to see the day when the Government takes half our income in taxes. I sometimes wonder if we are electing the best people to congress.”

“The drive-in restaurant is convenient in nice weather, but I seriously doubt they will ever catch on.”

“There is no sense going to Lincoln or Omaha anymore for a weekend, it costs nearly $15.00 a night to stay in a hotel.”

“No one can afford to be sick anymore; at $35.00 a day in the hospital it's too rich for my blood.”

“If they think I'll pay 50 cents for a haircut, forget it.”

Thanks, yorkie! The antibiotics always help with this thing. I went to the dentist last week and a day or two later I was getting sick. I am supposed to lunch with some classmates today and I am going to try to go. Would rather not but we don’t meet much and we need to get to update other classmates. We lost another classmate since our reunion in September and he was perfectly fine then! He was on the committee!

I believe he had cancer and he chose to end his own life which hurt all of us.

Spiritual Therapy
Lord, why do You cast off my soul? Why do You hide Your face from me? —Psalm 88:14
I once wrote a book titled Disappointment With God. My publishers worried that it seemed heretical to introduce a book with such a title into Christian bookstores. In the process of writing it, however, I found that the Bible includes detailed accounts of people sorely disappointed with God. Job and Moses had it out with God, as did Habakkuk, Jeremiah, and many of the unnamed psalmists.

It seems strange for sacred writings to include scenes of spiritual failure, but this reflects an important principle. A marriage therapist will warn couples, “Your relationship may get worse before it gets better.” Misunderstandings must be exposed before true understanding can flourish. The psalmists do not rationalize anger or give abstract advice about pain; rather, they express emotions vividly and loudly, directing their feelings primarily at God. The anguished conclusion of Psalm 88 provides ample evidence (vv.13-18).

The psalms present a mosaic of spiritual therapy in process. Doubt, paranoia, giddiness, delight, hatred, joy, praise, vengefulness, betrayal—you find it all in the psalms. From them I learn to bring to God whatever I feel about Him. I need not paper over my failures; far better to bring my weaknesses to Him, who alone has the power to heal.

Do you fear the gathering clouds of sorrow?
Tell it to Jesus, tell it to Jesus;
Are you anxious what shall be tomorrow?
Tell it to Jesus alone. —Rankin

An honest talk with God is the first step in finding peace of mind.


Bible in One Year: Job 13–15; Proverbs 13:1-12
