This is God. Today I will be handling all your problems for you. I do not

I love you. And remember... if life happens to deliver a situation to you

Hello all, I received this from a friend. of mine.

Dear Friends,

The recent swine flu outbreak has become of extreme concern both locally and
abroad. Kindly note the tips below, pay particular attention to your team
members and take every precaution to protect yourselves and your family at
this time.


Steps for Prevention of Influenza

Here are some precautions everyone should follow now and throughout the
year to increase protection from the flu.

1. Wash your hands often. Regular hand washing, with soap and water is
very effective in preventing the spread of respiratory viruses, such as
the flu. If you can't wash with soap and water, alcohol-based gels and
wipes can be used. The gel should be rubbed until it's dry.
2. Avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth. Those are "major points of
entry" for all kinds of germs, particularly those that cause colds and
the flu.
3. Cover your nose and mouth. If you're about to sneeze or cough, put
your hand or a handkerchief over your nose and mouth or sneeze or cough
into your sleeve.
4. If you're sick stay home, particularly if you're running a fever or
sneezing or coughing a lot.
5. If you are experiencing the following symptoms, contact your doctor
to receive the appropriate care:
a. High fever
b. Muscular pain and intense head and nasal congestion
c. Reddening of the eyes
d. Dry cough
Overall, practice good health habits. To keep your immune system as
strong as possible, get plenty of sleep, eat nutritious food, drink
plenty of water and other fluids and try to reduce your stress.

Tax time is apond us AGAIN.

Hey I know we all have had to do this Tax ting. This might help us reflect on what we as Christians really do have. Please right click and drag, then copy and then paste on web.
http://home.comcast.net/~singingman7/Taxes.htm

Just a side note. I have had my taxes done by a good friend. She has done this for me for the last three years. She has not charged me or even ask for anything in return. Plus one more thing, she mailed my return to me here, Bahama. and it cost her $23.00 just to send this to me. Plus it took over three weeks to get to me.
Where I am going with this is, as missionary I to need to pay taxes too. That is right. last two years I paid into the tax program, over $1500..00. Then this year I had to pay $968.00. The reason is I am paying for my social security. Which is 15% of my income. Which this year I received just a little bit over $6000.00 I have been told to that everyone has to pay this. The reason is I am what you call a self employed. I know it sound crazy but I have to do what Romans 13 talks about, submit to authority. So folks please take the time and reflect on this small note that is attacked. He has been soooooo faithful to me and I know He is the one that will provide the funds to my account. I have paid this in faith and I just love to share all that He is doing in my life and I know He is doing so much more in each other's. If you have any stories or things that you would like to share with me or even on my blog. Please send them to me and we will see what is going on in our lives. Thank you again for your prayers and I ask that if He has spoken to you about anything. Please let me know. Thank you for your time and look forward in hearing form you. If you believe someone else will be blessed by this, pass it on.

Last night was our Single's meeting.

You can see some pictures below of some of our friends. Well we are going through this book called Safe People. This is about how we as Christians and even non Christians are safe and unsafe people. Just by reading this book I have found out that I, that right I Tom are sometimes not a safe person. What this is talking about is we all have our moments when we do something that is not right or even hurt others. Veda, our leader, she was telling of a time when she want to have our group use this book, Safe People. How I, Tom ask her all kinds of questions about this book. Like I didn't trust her choose of books. In my defence is I went on line to the web page of this book and didn't see anything that I believe we as a group should do. I am talking about I didn't see Christ is this book. But now as I have read it I can see Christ through out this book. I am just as I said before sometimes not a safe person. If you read this book you would understand whatI am talking about.
Okay enough on that.
We even played a game about what trust is. Plus like always we had some great food too. It was China food. You know food that people from China make? If you have ever read my blog before you would understand that my words are some what different.

Yes this is our Single's group again.

This is a inter view with God. Have a Great day.

Three contractors are bidding.

Three contractors are bidding to fix a broken fence at the Government house
in Nassau.
One from Abaco, another from Freeport, and the third, from Nassau.
They go with a government official to examine the fence
The Abaco contractor takes out a tape measure and does some measuring, then
works some figures with a pencil. 'Well', he says, 'I figure the job will run about $900: $400 for materials, $400 for my crew and $100 profit for me.'
The Freeport contractor also does some measuring and figuring, and then says, 'I can do this job for $700: $300 for materials, $300 for my crew and $100 profit for me.'
The Nassau contractor doesn't measure or figure but leans over to the
Government official and whispers, '$2,700.'
The official, incredulous, says, 'You didn't even measure like the other guys!
How did you come up with such a high figure?'
The Nassau contractor whispers back, '$1000 for me, $1000 for you, and we hire the guy from Freeport to fix the fence.'
'Done!' replies the government official.
And that friends, is how it all works in the Bahamas!

A house becomes a home.

'A house becomes a home when you can write 'I love you' on the
furniture.'
I used to spend at least 8 hours every weekend making sure
things were just perfect - 'in case someone came over'
Finally I realized one day that no-one came over; they were all
out living life and having fun!
NOW, when people visit,I don't have to explain the'condition'
of my home
They are more interested in hearing about the things I've been
doing while I was away living life and having fun.
If you haven't figured this out yet, please heed this advice.
Life is short. Enjoy it! Dust if you must ........
but wouldn't it be better to paint a picture or write a letter, bake cookies or
a cake and lick the spoon or plant a seed,
ponder the difference between want and need?
Dust if you must, but there's not much time . .. . ...
with tea to drink, rivers to swim and mountains to climb , music to hear and
books to read, friends to cherish and life to lead.
Dust if you must,but the world's out there with the sun in your eyes, the wind
in your hair, a flutter of snow, a shower of rain.This day will not come around, again.
Dust if you must , but bear in mind, old age will come and it's not kind. .. ..
And when you go - and go you must - you, yourself will make more dust!
Share this with all the wonderful women and men in your life.
I JUST DID.
It's not what you gather, but what you scatter that tells
what kind of life you have lived.

Good Tuesday morning to all,

The pictures you see below were taken this last Friday and Saturday mornings. When I first came to this island I did notice two lights that have not worked since I have been here. That is almost 4 years. I have looked at these lights saying maybe they don't think they are needed at these two corners? The sad thing is I have seen some small crashes there since. Where I am going with this is, The government is not the one that is over seeing them. They have given this contract to a private contractor. In the last two weeks these lights have been burning out and I believe they only need new bulbs? I am not sure why no one is fixing them? Oh well I guess someone is going to have to be killed before they are fixed. I have heard people talk about it on the radio stations too about this.
Please I need to explain that this country is only 35 years old, I understand that, but it should take charge and let the contractor know, they need to fix these lights.

Yes Mema had two babies.




This last Easter Fun Day, what happen?

It is soooooo GOOD to see how our Lord works in us each and every day. Yes this last fun day was really one of our best. I have been told we had over 1300 people come through our gates. If you count the little one,2 and under. There was over 1500. Eldora told us during our last staff meeting that, this Easter will be more people. the reason is a lot of folks are not doing that well with the way of money. You know as well as I do, people through out the world have lost their jobs and even some their homes. So this is why we beleive it went soooooo well. People can aford $5.00 and even have some cash to buy food and just enjoy the day.
My ministry this year was to drive the train. Now you all know how much time and work we did to get this train looking good? I had the chance to drive it and see the faces and hear the kids enjoying it so much. I thank my Lord first of all. But I need to thank Bob too. He is the one that gave me the push to reapair it and then Adam to paint it. I am sooooooo GLAD that, that is what we did.

These are just a couple of pictures of our Easter Fun Day
