Dad’s viewing was December 6, 2009 from 5 – 9pm. My sisters, brothers, and I were not sure what to do about flowers and were blessed to see all the love gifts of flowers that came in from all the family and friends that loved Dad. Many family and friends showed and blessed our family tonight. Thank you to all!

Richard Bowman’s funeral service will be held today December 7, 2009 at Glen Abbey’s Chapel of Roses, Bonita CA at 1pm. Commitment service to follow at crypt-sid and Family reception at local church afterwards. It’s already raining today. Why is it– that it always rains when sad things happen?

Life sure does take you by surprise doesn’t it? Just when you think you can take a deep breath and enjoy life a bit, boommmmm….something hits you from behind. Sometimes I feel like I’m living in Limbo. Just taking whatever happens with a smile and God’s grace to handle it the best I can.

I just pray the Lord keeps me til his return. This world is so full of nonsense…what is right is being twisted into being wrong and intolerance. Morals seem scarce. Someone with a good Conscience is hard to find.

Verse for Today is a great one to remember.

“In God, whose word I praise, in God I trust; I will not be afraid. What can mortal man do to me?”- Psalm 56:4

This verse has been one of my personal favorite verses since the Lord changed my life in 1986. It carries a deep Truth that can sustain you in any situation. To me, this truth is that God is the only one I should be afraid of, not man or anything for that matter. So if I keep my heart right with the Lord, spiritually walk with Jesus every day of my life, recognizing his hand and guidance in my life every moment, honoring him and living the life he desires me to live according to his word, then there is nothing to be afraid of that Man can dish out at me. Ultimately, the Lord is the one in control of it all. Boy, Satan sure can torment you so subtly through people, but it’s what you do with the knowledge of knowing that it’s not the people you are accountable to ….it’s God/Jesus/Holy Spirit that you are truly accountable to. Remembering that truth…helps us make better choices than our natural instincts just taking over. None of us are perfect, but the Lord expects us to keep practicing doing what is right. It’s when we stop practicing living for the Lord is when the enemy creeps into our lives and has his manipulated way with us.

Hi Friends,

Many people probably already do this, but I’d like to share something that has been most valuable to me. During rough times is when it seems to help the most.

Write a Note or Journal to Jesus.

It’s writing a letter to Jesus, writing a prayer, venting, and even just writing thank you notes and praise notes to the Lord. Writing about things he has shown me through out the day or how he’s handled a situation in a way that I would’ve never imagined possible. It’s been extremely useful to do this. Not only to get things off your chest to go forward in situation, but also as something to build a bond of friendship and reverence between you and the Lord.

Have you ever just wanted to type up a Prayer Request, Prayer, or Encouraging Word out to the Internet? Anonymously or known? I have. Sometimes just typing up my prayer or the words the Lord has encouraged me with through a situation, helps the process of allowing the Lord to help me to discover and experience His Joy, Peace, Comfort, Provision, Help, and most of all His Awesome Overwhelming True and Real Love for me.

Sometimes I feel like my requests aren’t worth His time because there are so many people that really need his help. I start thinking, “Who am I anyway?….I’m just a little nobody.” You know what….God thinks each and every one of us are equally as important and wants us to come to him with anything and everything. He loves to hear us acknowledge Him in every situation. I feel like a little child sometimes when I ponder His awesome beauty in nature, His ways of fixing things, I just marvel at His hand in even the littlest of things.

I remember one-time specifically…it was so simple that I might have missed it. Here’s what happened…. I was driving around town and my purse tipped over and my lipstick fell down in the side crack of my seat. I couldn’t get it out for anything. It was lodged just down enough that my finger tips couldn’t reach it. Being so busy that day, I didn’t have time to take the seat apart to get it out… so I left it go until I had a free minute to really dig for it. Of course, I forgot about it. A few weeks went by.
