Wow, this cartoon smacked me right in the head ;-) Awesome.
It started with a joke from my best bud Cathy.♥ 
I was stressed wondering what to draw for 4/20?! 
The universal day of 
Celebration for Cannabis!!! 
A Plant.
Grown from a seed.
Made by *GOD.
(*original patent holder)


Medical, Recreational, Hemp, Food, Fuel.. 
It's the day and I want to say THANK YOU!  
                                       I have said it so many times, I thank God daily for this Plant! 
Give us this Day our daily Bud...  <3 Wow. YES,   I read recently  how powerful that prayer is;  Give us this dayour daily bread,  -not thanks for yesterday, or make sure I have it tomorrow. Give us THIS day.  Focus on today.
.. and forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us,
 and that                 ^ ^        ^  That simply put means  ^    ^  ^             :
                                               PEACE, PEOPLE!  
Religion aside... who can argue with those lines?  How else are we going to get ahead, clearly WAR is not the answer! 
Thank you Marvin, now in my head for the rest of the day.
People all around the world who suffer over a plant. A plant less toxic than many others,  proven helpful to ease pain, yet illegal and lives destroyed because of it.    
WTF?   O.M.God.  How disappointing.  
A PLANT.  While others  rape, kill, abuse, terrorize, suffer & starve needlessly... 
enough with the bullshit distraction. 
FOCUS on the REAL problems at hand. 

Rise Up people! Speak up! <3   Celebrate this Plant! Let it be a symbol of change.
It all starts with a SEED!!!  Life.

So.. Yes!
     Give us this Day our daily bud, 
       and thank you Lord  for it!
I do! Everyday! Keeping the Love of my life happy - How could I not give thanks?
Celebrate 4/20, Spread Peace and Love !!! 
- there are already enough assholes doing the opposite;-)

I really enjoyed the following article, I hope they do not mind I share. 
What would Jesus do!  He would not be letting his people suffer over a plant - that is for sure.

Christians say “No” to cannabis?
01 March 2013, 14:01
Not all Christians are the same. This I understand and appreciate as it would be wrong to generalize based on religion. Christian scripture (aka The Bible) contains a lot of conflicting and sometimes scary information, much of which simply cannot be applied in today’s world. Yet I respect that one be allowed the freedom to practice their religion privately and not harm others in the application of their religion, even if there are aspects of it which I may not personally agree with.

The crunch comes through when political parties perch upon their religion as if makes them morally superior to others and then feel that their personal beliefs entitle them to make unfounded, ignorant and otherwise deliberately misleading statements to the public.  Statements that are severely at odds with their religion which they have based their political tenants on.  Sure, you cannot be expected to kill your neighbor because he or she worked on a Sunday or be entitled to sell your daughter. But what about a defining aspect of your religion, an aspect on which your very religion is named?

The sweet and short on the origination of the word “Christian” is that it means followers of the anointed one (aka The Messiah or Jesus). But as we all know, the devil is in the details. What do you think was a key ingredient of this holy anointment oil? I’ll give you three guesses. You probably only need one though.

Did you guess that the magic ingredient was cannabis? Then you are correct. So here we have a religion which is based on cannabis being a part of the many pivotal aspects of their Messiah’s good deeds. Throw in the aforementioned origination of the word Christian and we see how relevant cannabis was to the foundations of Christianity. Do I think that this means Christians should therefore by default support and promote the use of cannabis? No I do not. Just because Jesus also made booze out of water, does not mean that I would expect them to support the consumption and promotion of the stuff. .. even though they do by teaching kids about the holy relevance of wine.

A recent article of mine highlighted how absurd it was for the some groups to continue supporting the prohibition of cannabis, as it is becoming increasingly clear that cannabis prohibition does not work and creates more problems than it attempts to resolve. Unlike their views on the matter, I have long provided supporting objective studies regarding the need for an end to this failed and expensive social burden.  But what help is it playing study poker with an organisation that prides itself on putting its personal beliefs before facts and ignores the very foundations of these personal beliefs on its mission to have its bible buttered on both sides.

I only hope that this political party does not continue to reflect so negatively on its fellow Christians. Besides, judging by the longstanding religious violence that continues to plague our planet it would appear that smoking some grass is not as bad for your health as it is to be Christian, Muslim, Jewish, etc.

Yet people are afforded the freedom to subscribe to a religion without being considered criminals, even if it costs them their lives. A fundamental mistake in thinking that the cannabis legalization movement is about promoting cannabis use when it is in fact a movement that is against the persecution of responsible adult cannabis users and intends on ending the damage done by a law that’s harm far exceeds its intentions.

The discussion is being had one way or another, will others continue to make themselves completely irrelevant by spouting cherry picked and outdated news stories or will they face the facts and help in the discussion towards a legal, regulated and constructive South African cannabis industry? What would Jesus do?

Thank you! ^^^

Wow! I found it really interesting to check out that website just now, after the post I made earlier on FB- I'd say it's a sign ;-)  
Oh, and then I found that image of Jesus and yes, It made me giggle... still giggling.
Ah, God is Good.

 It is REALLY a WORLD WIDE problem and it has to end. 
ONE LOVE. 
WORK TOGETHER!

Today was a great day - Rain and all.

This morning I asked my son do you want to come to mass with me? He said:  YES! Yippie!!  When he was little he was an alter boy, so he was raised going to church but stopped I guess when he was about 15. So every now and then when he says yes! I am thrilled!  I am always proud to have my son by my side. He came not because it is what he 'Believes' but because he loves me. He knows that although I was raised catholic I do not always agree with everything - especially the business of it. If you know me by now I go for the peace, the people, the building that we come together to celebrate in  the Love. Sadly like every other place that is human - there are politics. Life.  Anyhow - he gave me a few giggles and we both commented on what was said and how we found it interesting.
Talking about being afraid of death. 

 
Then he treated me to breakfast! By the window looking at the rain and it was wonderful. The service a little slow but looking  back I am glad, we had more time to talk. Breakfast is always better when someone else cooks it. LOL- Actually every meal is better when someone else cooks it!
Norm is busy in the garage working on the car. But I asked him and he said he likes to do it. Norm has to keep busy.  It is a rainy Sunday, 
I am surrounded by LOVE, 2 and 4 legs.  Thank you God!

Pot Luck

When I hear that I associate it with 2 wonderful things.
One is the POT luck Christmas diner. It was last Friday. How nice to see all the ladies out for Christmas wishes. We start with a song holding hands in a circle. ALWAYS reminds me of The Grinch and Whoville. Brings instant warmth to my heart.  HUGS galore. But come on the best part >>> The POTs!
The best salads, desserts and dishes around! ALL MADE with TLC for me! 
A Church Chatter Buffet!
My plate piled high (saving lots of room for Carm's baked beans)  I went back for seconds.  It is a comfort food calamity to our waistlines! But here I sit 3 days later salivating at my memories.   No - the best part is the people. Laughing, talking, sharing all brought together in faith.  Many women who have been attending for years! Safe to say a decade or 2.. also the few new friends joining us, There is always enough food and laughter to go around. I look forward to attending many more. It is easy for my faith to be strong when I am surrounded by such a great group of women. 
Next year I'm bringing brownies. ;-)


I lay in bed last night saying The Rosary. -I do get distracted from time to time  when I say The Rosary, it is always with positive thoughts. Thinking .. we just have to lose the negative stigma attached to cannabis. I need to focus on this. Then before I could continue, the cartoon was already forming in my mind. I was again... Inspired. 
I realized. It MUST always be for the greater good.

Yo soy un hijo de Dios. I am a Child of God.

I try to go to church every Sunday. People ask me why...
Today, I went to mass and saw someone I have not seen for several months.  She  whispered in my ear and hugged me with so much love I felt it radiate directly through to my heart.  It brought me to tears.
I have thought about that hug all day. 


I go to church, not because I feel God needs me to. I go because I am surrounded by people who love me.  I am surrounded by people who care and are there for me. I am reminded of Jesus and Gods love for me in more ways then one. 


Why wouldn't I go?
