ANTS

Ants! My kitchen counters were crawling with them! Now I saw the Disney movie "A Bug's Life," and I even rooted for them against the mean grasshoppers, but on my kitchen counter they weren't so cute. They are stubborn little creatures. They feed on the tiniest morsel and they are really difficult to get rid of. At first, there is only one. However, if you don't eradicate them immediately you will soon be overrun.

A.N.T.S. Anti-Attractive, Negative ThoughtS. They can be stubborn. They are really difficult to get rid of. They can crawl into your mind and feed on the tiniest little morsel. At first there is just one little one, then before you know it you're overwhelmed with a negative and harmful mind-set. "I can't do that." "The Lord can't use me." "I wish I were more like so and so." This is just Satan's way of crippling our lives.

Anti-Attractive Negative ThoughtS AANTS = SATAN

Just like the little critters, the only way to get rid of A.N.T.S. is to sweep them right out of your mind. Scrub away those thoughts that are depriving you of the joy that Jesus wants you to have. Replace them with positive, uplifting ways of thinking. The Word of God, through Paul the apostle in his letter to the church in Philippi, gives us instructions for exterminating A.N.T.S. You only need to follow the directions as printed.

"...whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is admirable - if anything is excellent or praiseworthy - think about such things...And the God of peace will be with you." Philippians 4:8-9 NIV

Problem fixed, sort of...

Well, the problem between AOl and Buckeye has been fixed. But that problem stemmed from AOL having a problem with blogspot.com. So I can know longer put our blog address in my emails to you. If you are here, add this page to your favorites because I will not be able to email you the site anymore if you are an AOL customer. You can always find it at www.onaz.org in the Women of Hope page.

AOL rejects all Bex.net incoming mail

To my shock and surprise last night I sent out an email to all of my ladies on my group list for the Women of Hope and about half of them were returned to me undeliverable. If this has ever happened to you, you know how frustrating it is to have one email sent back, while I had about 40 sent back all at once. AOL has blocked all incoming email from Buckeye-express, which means I am unable to email most of my ladies and most of my family. As you can imagine, I was quite livid. Today the problem still exists. Buckeye is working on it, however, they have said it is completely in AOL's hands as to when they will once again allow buckeye customers to email AOL customers. Please, if you are an AOL customer please call AOL customer service and let them know that this interrupts your service and your life.

Tomorrow evening is our Daughters of the King Banquet!! Are you coming??? I hope so! It's going to be such a blessing!

check out our new poll for the month. And please vote!!!! I know there are more than just 4 or 5 reading at this blog!! :)
