IS GOD TRYING TO MESS WITH YOU?


I saw this article and thought we all need to realize HE IS NOT MESS WITH YOU.  
10 signs to be careful of. 
God is love and love doesn't MESS WITH PEOPLE. If you feel like God is trying to mess with you. It's important to remember that this is not God's will. God wants us to freely choose to love Him and follow Him. He doesn't mess with us. 
1) He never leaves us or forsake us. (Deuteronmy.31:6)
2) He loves us even when we make mistakes. (Romans 5:8)
3)He gives us good gifts and blessings. (James 1:17)
4) He shows us compassion and understanding. (Ephesians 4:32)
5) He understands that we are all flawed and that we're going to make mistakes. (Romans 3:23)
6) We can choose to love Him or not, to follow Him or not, He doesn't force us to anything. (Proverbs 3:5-6)
7) He forgives us and helps us move on. (Psalm 147:3)
8) He keeps His promises to us.(Genesis 46:27)
9) God is loving God who wants to protect His children. Sometimes He will send us a warning to alert us to danger or guild us on the right path or our higher path. Trust that God loves you and wants what is best for you. (Psalm 3:3)
10) Have you ever felt like God was trying to send you a message? Maybe you were through a difficult time, and you felt a sense of peace come over you, or maybe you heard a song that spoke to you precisely what you needed to hear. (Psalm 29:11)
I look at this above and say, He is right alongside of YOU. 
Let Him in and trust Him more today than you have in a while. 
HIS LOVE FOR YOU IS REAL AND TALK WITH HIM TODAY.

Having the same problems as before.



My little Ranger is overheating again. I pulled the thermostat out and ready to drain some water out. 


I put in a Prestone Flush kit in. So, I can flesh it out again, down the road. It only cost $5.00. 


If you take a closer look, you can see how cloudily the oil is. It's like chocolate milk looking. 


Blowing out white smoke. This is showing up as a blown head gasket or more serious than a head gasket. 


Not sure what it is. I went to see an old friend Tommy; he has a shop on US1 called Tommy Ray auto Repair. I asked him about replacing the engine. he came up with a bill for $3,400.00 plus. Maybe need something else replaced too. make everything run well.
I did go online to find a motor it was form $2000. and up. Really no guaranties. 
Plus when I was talking with Tommy, he was telling me about one of these customers bought a engine online and now it is trying to get his money back. So, I stopped at another shop. Damen's Cason auto repair. He will be out of town until Wednesday of this week. I will be stopping by his shop near the end of the week. Just ask him what he thinks. 
I put this Blue Devil in her before and it worked for about 6 months and ran pretty good. 
I know this is a temporary fix, AGAIN. Maybe more???  



I did everything the label told me to do. So, I even poured it is in very slowly. 
After it was running for about 10 minutes I decide to go for a ride. I got on 95 and took a ride up north. I got to Indrio and came back home. Ran pretty good. But still was missing a little bit. 


You can see the oil cleared up and no more smoke out of the exhaust. 
Maybe I will be good for now? 
Folks I know putting a engine is the correct way to go. 
Just a side note. I have been stopping and talking with dealerships that have Rangers in their lot. 
2004 they want $8,400.00 That to me is crazy. 
another one was for $9,000. How can they justified the price?  
Maybe I should just get a small car and stop working????? 
Maybe NOT. 
My Lord is in control, and I am trusting Him. 
Overall, I will keep trying and let's see how things go.

Here are a few more jobs that Debbie wanted us to do.


This is the screen room in the back of the house. There are no fans back here. So, there are at least ceiling lights. Take this light out and put up a fan. There are two of them. 



Okay, we got both of them up and they work too. 
I am not sure what day this was? But she has a couple of more jobs to do, before we are finished here. 


So, Roy and I cleaned this shed up. Needed the house wash and pressure washer. Boy she was dirty. 



Now looking at it, it sure looks kind of neat. Maybe just leave it this way? 
We asked her and she told us, NO it needs a paint job. 




I guess afterwards it does look better? It really is neat how a little paint makes such a difference? 


This is another day. we need to pull all the wood out and replace it. The vanity itself is still in good shape.




We went to Home Depot and bought 1"x 6" x 8' plastic board. this way we don't have to paint it. All I did was built a box on the inside and then staple it all together. Put the finished plywood on top. There was a small gap between the side boards and the shelf. So, I put 3/4" round on the sides of the board. 




Overall, we are winding things down here. The next week we will be putting up her Christmas lights around the outside and the house. 
I can tell you this, Debbie is very easy going and we do the job, and she pays us with no questions. 
She seems to always like the work we do and we both (Roy) and I think we did one of our best works. 
It is kind of funny, Roy and I retired a while back. But we still are getting calls for more work. 
Like on Monday we went over to Lyn and Wayne's home and cut down all of their bushes and trees that needed trimmed. Today we are going over to Bob's house and put a new closet rod up. The old one just gave out and all his clothes fell to the ground. I will share more in the next few days. 
I am so much in love with my beautiful wife and how Our Lord keeps blessing us each and every day. 
I pray you are talking with Him and letting Him do something is your life that is needed.

It's kind of funny, Ido some work at a customer's.


Well, I think this was Friday afternoon. I just washed Debbie's (customer) driveway.
As I came back home, I noticed, wow our driveway is looking pretty bad. 





The first thing I needed to do, was dig a couple of holes at the end of the driveway. There is always a low spot at the end of the driveway. I have washed this many times. So, I planned ahead. All dug out and ready to go. I used the mildew cleaner and the pressure washer too. 


Man, you can really see how dirty the driveway really was. 


This is one of the three holes I dug, to drain the water off the driveway. It took a little while to clear up. 


Here is one more spot to drain the water out. I think I had some lunch and came back out and it was somewhat drained. 







Boy it sure was dirty and now look. I know there are discolorations in the driveway itself. But at least the mildew is gone for now. 
I am so very blessed to call this place my home. I know there is always things to repair of fix up.
 BUT this is His home too. 
Afterwards, Jeanne and I went to Saint Anastasia Catholic Church. They are having their Trunk and Treat. This is a fund raiser for the church and something neat to do for the children during this fall season.


This is the school and church our niece Micheal's children go to. We saw her and her hubby Jason and the children too. 


Now this was the cutest costume. Kinda feel bad for the kid. BUT it's all about the fun.  









I know this is about Mario Brothers, BUT maybe more? 



Some the thew car trunks looked like they put some time into. 





Overall, walked around and took in the sites. There were many children dressed up in costumes. 
Plus, they had the 50/50 drawing. We had to buy some tickets to support the church and Jeanne bought raffle tickets before, from Micheal. So, we pretty much saw everything. Then waited to the drawings. 
Sad, didn't win, but I know the money will go towards something the church will need down the road. 
It was a beautiful fall day and evening too. 
Folks I just pray that you count your blessings each day. I know the world is not too good of a shape right now. But I believe if you have a relationship with Jesus Christ, you have salvations thru HIM. 
He is the only One you can count on. 
My pray is that each and every one out there know Him personally. 
Just ask Him into your heart and trust HIM, ONLY. 
We all fail in our attempts. He is right next to you. 
CALL ON HIS NAME, PLEASE. 







 

I had a opportunity to help out my cousin.

It has been a while since I have trimmed and cleaned out her gutters too.  Oh, the reason I am here now is because Jeanne and her sisters pl...
