My pug, Bo-Bo is my life-line.I have spent my life caring for others, but would like to explore what I might actually like to do for myself. Don't know that yet. I just seem to wait to see what happens next.

Hug
hi i was wondering how you were doing hope all is well
Hug
I would like to tell you a little bit about me, ok. I worked for the city of San Diego, Calif. for 20 years in parks & recreation...then I wanted to move to were I was born, In Kansas. I got a job working for the city of Leawood, Ks. for about 2 years in parks & recreation. Then my bipolar condition became so bad I had to quit. I've been on diabilty since then...for nearly 10 years. Now I'm looking for part time employment in a less stresed job. I just hope I can do it. Right now I'm manic and have been so for 12 days now. I've been channeling myself into making new friends on DS. I've made 133 new friends in the last 12 days...WHEW!!! Being manic right now, it seems that I can't stop making new friends. I like doing this to fight off my lonliness and depression. I'll tell you a bit more about me later, ok. Clarence

Hello. My name is Clarence. I would like to be your friend. Thank you.
Prayer
May God bless you and keep you in perfect peace. Here are some encouraging healing bible verses to uplift you. Remember, faith moves mountains and you can get through anything in the name of Jesus. Exodus 23:25 And ye shall serve the LORD your God, and he shall bless thy bread, and thy water; and I will take sickness away from the midst of thee. Psalms 6:2 Have mercy upon me, O LORD; for I am weak: O LORD, heal me; for my bones are vexed. Psalm 103:3-4 Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases; Who redeemeth thy life from destruction; who crowneth thee with lovingkindness and tender mercies. Isaiah 53:5 But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed. Matthew 4:23 And Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing all manner of sickness and all manner of disease among the people. Jeremiah 17:14 Heal me, O LORD, and I shall be healed; save me, and I shall be saved: for thou art my praise. Matthew 8:14-17 And when Jesus was come into Peter's house, he saw his wife's mother laid, and sick of a fever. And he touched her hand, and the fever left her: and she arose, and ministered unto them. When the even was come, they brought unto him many that were possessed with devils: and he cast out the spirits with his word, and healed all that were sick: That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the prophet, saying, Himself took our infirmities, and bare our sicknesses. Exodus 15:26 And said, If thou wilt diligently hearken to the voice of the LORD thy God, and wilt do that which is right in his sight, and wilt give ear to his commandments, and keep all his statutes, I will put none of these diseases upon thee, which I have brought upon the Egyptians: for I am the LORD that healeth thee.

Prayer
ONLY BELIEVE Has that trial in your life been going on so long That everything in you screams, "This is so wrong." You can't understand, it seems God is far away As with tears you cry out to Him everyday, If you read God's Word His truth you will see That He has a job for you and a job for me, ONLY BELIEVE! is what He has to say At His feet this problem you must lay, In His time and in His way An answer to your problem will be there one day, Keep on believing, don't lose hope He'll give you His grace enabling you to cope, Keep your eyes on Him as to to Him you cleave He has promised He will never forsake you or leave, Give Him time to work it all out The devil just wants you to worry and doubt, Praising Him is one thing He's looking for To bless you is what He has in store, So no matter what, even when you don't understand ONLY BELIEVE! that's what moves His hand
