He doesn't want it that way

dreamertink @dfollin (25387) • United States 18 Apr 20

I have been thinking for the past 3 weeks or so that God does not like the way the people in the world are acting right now. God get's very little respect, He has been kicked out of schools, homes, Christmas decorations in front...

peavey I agree that the way things were (and are) is far from what God would like to see here on earth. I think He has better things for us if we would just listen, but very few will listen. The Bible says that men will curse God because of the things He allows to...

I saw people crying

Kokil agarwal @amitkokiladitya (171927) • Agra, India 25 Mar 20

The daily wage earners who have come from different states are really having a tough time. One of news channels showed how bad they were feeling and some were actually crying out loud. They are out of work and money.. moreover...

peavey It's so sad and a little scary to hear of things like this from around the world. We have some people out of work here (US) but we have unemployment benefits that pay them a part of their wages for awhile. Isn't there any way they can get home again? That...

Seriously?

Ghost Writer @Writingghost (5196) • United States 16 Mar 20

I was going to my Dad's house to move some things and they stopped me and told me I was not allowed to travel to southern Utah. There was nothing in the news. I had driven 300 miles and had to turn around. I just don't get it.

peavey That makes me more nervous. My son and daughter are in Texas visiting their Dad and supposed to drive home tomorrow (Colorado). I have had this feeling that they had better get home NOW. Of course, they just laugh.

peavey We can do a "mass gathering" in the spirit and it doesn't even have to be all at the same time. God hears us and He knows what is happening.

4-roll pack of toilet paper selling for about $72 on amazon

Lena Kovadlo @lovebuglena (44731) • Staten Island, New York 14 Mar 20

I hopped onto Amazon to see if there is any toilet paper available. I don't need any but was just curious to see if it's in stock. The mega rolls of the brand I use weren't even in the search results. The brand itself was though...

peavey If I were you, I'd do some research and find out how to make your blogs show ads. If your blogs are like mine, it will take awhile to accrue the two dollars, but you will get it eventually.

Why would you broadcast things like that?

April @thislittlepennyearns (62939) • Defuniak Springs, Florida 20 Feb 20

I dont know if it's been worse the last few days, or I've just been paying more attention but people have been oversharing a ton. Here and on Facebook. On facebook I have an acquaintance who is going through a divorce, or...

peavey I agree. I have read some things I wish I hadn't read. I don't want to know everything about people's lives and I sure don't want everyone knowing about mine!

Latest stats on the corona virus

Alex Socorro @Alexandoy (65308) • Cainta, Philippines 3 Feb 20

There are 361 dead and 17,205 contaminated. Now this is alarming to me because the number keeps on growing. Yesterday it was only 14,000 confirmed contamination. But I won't use a face mask for now, I am reserving it for the worst...

peavey I read that the virus can be spread through the eyes. If that's true, all the face masks in the world won't hurt if you rub your eyes with a hand that isn't freshly washed. Another thing to remember is that the rate of death is about .02%, which is fairly...

Neither a borrower nor a lender be - Vanny's in depth analysis

vanny @vandana7 (100609) • India 3 Feb 20

As if I can ever do that. LOL But I am trying to say yes, if you lend, there is a chance, more borrowers will start hovering, and you will end up with quite a few unreliable ones that will raise your blood pressure. I don't...

peavey We could get pretty deep on this subject. I know it works for some, but for me, the less debt I have, the better off I am. As far as lending, I feel that if I give someone money or anything else, it's more of a gift than a loan. That way, if they don't pay...

Felicia Kane @DesirousDreamer (34776) • Peoria, Arizona 3 Feb 20

Do you reuse or recycle old items?

Bill McAlpine @ScotMac (1335) • Edinburgh, Scotland 3 Feb 20

peavey I think it's fun to see what can be made from old or broken things and it sure saves money. I do a lot of it myself, first out of necessity when I was young and broke, but now it's just fun and I'm kind of a cheapskate anyway.

peavey I grew up in a time when people had to do a lot more physically than they do now. I kind of like the old ways although I can't do it all any more. People get tired from working, but most of the tiredness any more is from stress, When we feel tired, though,...

peavey I am one who didn't know you did this, but what a cool idea! Have you thought about selling them on Etsy or some place like that? It wouldn't cost much to give it a try, but you have to promote them on your own.

peavey I can sympathize with you, although my situation is a little different. It's easy to say trust God but harder to do it at times. In reality, He is all we have, and He is trustworthy. I'll be praying for you.
