BADJOE, it is difficult to give advice without knowing anything about the problem. But there is one piece of advice that I keep with me at all times and it relates to every situation.

From II Chronicles 20:17..."You will not need to fight in this battle; take your position, stand still, and see the victory of the Lord on your behalf.."

When you have done all you can do, from then on the battle is the Lord's. Stand still.

Thank you Ragtime Cowgirl, dear friend for the link to come here.

BADJOE, I have no idea what has made you feel beaten down. And I am only a fairly new FReeper, but I have a lot of respect for you BADJOE. You have always been kind to me and that means an awful lot to me. I always remember those that are kind to me and give me a chance and you always have.

I will pray tonight that everything will work out that is troubling you.
I know how the heart can hurt from misunderstandings if that is what it is or efforts nade that do not work.

Jim Robinson is right BADJOE. Never give up. Sometimes we have to change things around to keep on going, but the view ahead is always the same goal and that never ever changes.Not even a little bit.Even when some fall by the way that did not have the same dedication or committment. Never ever give up.

Thank you for sharing that inspirational story, BADJOE. The "givers" of the world need a rest occasionally, like the rest of us schmoes. Get thee to a loved one, do something you love, see something beautiful...turn off the news for a day. When your rested, we'll tar and feather the NY Times editorial board. How 'bout it?
You do good work, Joe.

Because I am past negotiating and the other party has refuse to budge.

I'm told the motto of the Texas Rangers is:

"A little man'll whup a big man every time, if he's in the right and he jes' keeps on comin'."...

It is not my nature to threaten anyone.

Badjoe .. sometimes when folks don't listen .. you gotta do what ya gotta do ..

Sometimes when something may arise, I may say why bother and then I think .. if I don't who will??

Sometimes we need to pull the bull by the rings and do something .. anything

Why .. because it is the right thing to do and folks that trust us need our help

It sounds like this women needed you Joe and you saved her life ..

Yes, you could have walked away and washed your hands but you didn't because you care far to much about life

Over a thousand years ago, terriers were the only kind of dogs that peasants could own in England. The noblemen of the time gave their dog breeds fancy names to help show their own high position on the social ladder. Unlike the noblemen, though, the peasants did not care about giving their little terriers specific breed names. The peasants only wanted spunky and sturdy little rascals who were as tough and scrappy as their owners.

OK Joe - here's the poochies. Now sac up and have a super day. JL

Once upon a time, two frogs were playing in a barn.

They accidentally hopped into a milk can.

After swimming around in the milk it became clear to one frog that the sides were too slick to crawl out, the milk was too deep to allow for footing to jump out or a even place to rest.

He gave up and drowned.

The other frog just continued to kick, and eventually churned up a lump of butter, which he was able to crawl up onto to rest. And that's where he was when milkmaid came and fetched him out of the can.


Salvation comes in unexpected ways to people who just hang in there...
