"Princess and Daughter of the King"

For the Obama Inaugural address… http://tinyurl.com/7w8vse . The world looks on and we now have our 44th President in a country that is considerably younger than the rest of the world. Yet, we are still the brave, the strong, the freedom loving people with dreams and goals, visions and hopes still waiting to be fulfilled. What should we be doing to bring change individually? Well, for one thing we need to be more involved with our church, our communities, the decisions being made on a day to day basis, log into your government in Washington to find out what bills are being passed. For those who voted for John McCain, keep praying that this experience of running will help him in his future and will open new doors for his voice to be heard. I think about Mrs Palin and the work that continues as she resides over the state of Alaska. America did have a few laughs making fun of her and her accent on Saturday Night Live and her uncanny ability to answer questions fairly well without skirti...

Eileen's mom Pat, Eileen and uncle Larry Son Michael in red sweatshirt Lesli in stripe scarf and sister Andi Son Steven and myself at a Chinese restaurant Beautiful arrangement won at the SCS company party Well, the trip down to Phoenix went smoothly, no snow, no ice and plenty of sunshine. Right after the Christmas program I was all packed and ready to go. I said my good-byes and headed to a much warmer climate. I arrived at my son Steven’s for the night and stayed until Christmas day. While there I managed to finish wrapping presents and sending off a few more cards. Steven and Eileen had to work until Christmas Eve so left me doing a little last minute shopping. I also spent the time baking a few batches of Christmas cookies. Christmas Eve I went with Steven and Eileen to her aunt’s and uncle’s home and met her grandmother Alice and her Italian grandmother. Steven asked if I would play some background music on the keyboard I brought down. So, without hesitation, Steven ...

Playing "Catch Phrase" and having a ball. Matt and Lesli ...bundling up for the cold Looking good in his homemade apron..... Lesli, Irene and myself whipping up some goodies For Thanksgiving I had my son Matt, his wife Lesli, grandson, Solomon and son Daniel and his friend James come up from Phoenix. James is very nice and I'm glad he's a friend of Daniel. He is level headed and also said he'd try to find some work. He was appreciative of everything, good manners and said he’d try to help Daniel find some work since he was laid off from his last job. James is in construction and Daniel had worked with his dad and other brother Jason before. I sent him back to Phoenix with $50 and filled his tank. Steven called me yesterday and told me to tell Daniel to take his time coming back. The transformer behind his house blew up and there was a leak in the gas lines and also the water lines broke in front of his house. The entire street was evacuated. It seemed strange th...

Recently, I was published on Associated Content. Could you do me a favor and check out a couple of my articles that I wrote on Associated Content. You too may want to submit a poem, an article, a how to article, a video or an audio. Anyway, the more that my friends check out articles I've written, the more I get paid. So would you do me a favor and check one or both out?

Thanksgiving is here, another year I give thanks to the Lord for my life for my family and friends so dear. I thank Him for His peace, no strife As I get closer to Him, He is near. Thanksgiving is time to just reflect on past accomplishments and plans for the years’ growth, every aspect. I’m thankful He has made me stand in faith and love, is what He expects. Oh, Lord, grant us peace and mercy at this time we call “Thanksgiving”. Help us to remember and to foresee Your goodness in all of our living. Forgive us our sins. They are many. As we gather around bountiful tables Help us not forget the needy, the poor, from the old and those in their cradles that might come to knock on our door. Help us Lord to give as we are able.

The war had begun and it was given the operation name “Desert Storm”. My son Steven was in the marines and already had traveled to the Philippines, Germany and then he was sent to Saudi Arabia where he and several other marines would push through to Kuwait. His responsibility was to defuse land mines placed in the desert floor by the enemy. My husband Richard and I and children all nestled snug in our beds in Mesa, Arizona while all of this was going on. We fervently prayed each night for his and his fellow soldiers safety and protection. I believed in my heart that he would return but it was very difficult to think of him in harms way. He is my eldest son and I spent years preparing him for his future as a leader. Many months passed with no word from him. Steven was stationed there from August to the month of March the following hear. During Christmas I put up a special tree, a small pine with lights which would be called “Steven’s tree”. Since he was not there we were to remember him...

I was amazed at the speed that the election process took last night. I turned to several stations to see how each covered the election. CNN had its own panel and tried to be unbiased giving both sides equal time. But as I listened to other stations, Fox News, ABC News, local news, I knew in my innermost being that the man I wanted to be president didn’t have a chance. Obama had his own station, OBAMA TV promoting ads for the last month on Dish Network. They were running 24 hours a day. He used the internet and cell phones and other high tech gadgets to propose his ideas and agendas. The American people have made their choice. If there are any who have their doubts, it’s too late now. Many believe Obama is like no other man they’ve seen or heard before. I want to believe that he will keep his word but like all the other politicians in the past, many of his desires may be put on the back burner for now. He is anxious to get started by putting his cabinet in place soon. As a Christian, my...

Halloween is not really a holiday It’s more like our countries malady. It gives credit to witches and devils. Too much that’s sinister and evil. Take a look at its very beginning Are you afraid you’d be sinning? To bring to light Satan’s one desire but he will end up in hell’s hot fire. God says to love only Him above all the idols, the orange décor in the hall. It gives Him no glory can’t you see? Wearing masks won’t set you free. Satan calls this day his sacred one, telling children to play and have fun, to dress like his demons and death for fear of losing their very breath. Why does America make such a fuss over witches and skeleton’s ugliness, to make it a bigger day than Easter? It should bring us shame each year. So what should Christians try to do? The Truth has set us free. Has He you? Celebrate Jesus. He gave us salvation. Lift Him up, not our true enemy Satan. Whatever you decide on this dark night, glorify God in the earth, in men’s sight. We are not of this world. God is ...

What's a mother to do? I raised four sons and my prayer for them as it was for my husband and our life together was that they would accept the Lord and be filled with His Spirit. I want them all to know and serve the Lord. They all have had to struggle against alcohol and drugs and abusing themselves with them. I remember writing a prayer to God about what I was going through with my husband. It may help others to voice their own desires for their husbands and children. I am continually praying for them and it hurts me to see them thinking less about themselves and not having the confidence that I helped instill in them at a young age. They are leaders and someday soon, I hope to hear from them that they turned their lives over to the Lord. My time with the Lord started out: (John 1:1) In the beginning was the Word and thw Word was with God and the Word was God. If we refuse to yield to the word, we fail to yield to Jesus and the Holy Spirit. As the Word takes up the vacant spaces...

This story is about the trip we took to see my mom at Christmas, 1982. She lived in Evans, Colorado and we lived in Page, Arizona. We had decided to take our four sons in our Dodge van not knowing what the weather had in store. We packed several bags, blankets, water and our cosmetic case for what we though was a two or three day vacation. We were supposed to be at my mom’s house Christmas Eve. We left Page and drove toward Kayenta, Arizona and onto New Mexico. We started toward Raton and hit a huge snow storm. Just outside of Raton, the winds were severe. Our engine died just outside of town. With ropes my husband tied himself to the front of the van and checked the motor. He said the guys that serviced our car didn’t put the lid back right and the carburetor, situated in the center of the air filter, was iced up. So we poured through our cosmetic bag and found some men’s cologne. We both knew that alcohol would deice the carburetor. The van started up and we pushed forward. It was s...

The following poems were written this last week. The last one was written last month for another greeting card for Women's Equality Day.. A CHOCOLATY DAY Chocolate, um.., chocolate, how good, makes me think of how sweet you are. I’d send you a box. I really should since you live not close but too far. Chocolate, that velvety, smooth brown with fillings, some coconut and nuts make my face light up, no more frown. So grab a bite and don’t be a putz. Fill your day with sweet, sweet bliss with chocolaty fingers and sugary mouth. Forget the other candies. I won’t miss ‘cause Chocolate lets energy just sprout.. Copyright, 9/24/2008, Kathryn Tyler Little FALL’S WISHES This is the day that the Lord has made. Let us rejoice and be very glad in it. Though our plans and dreams may fade, and friends are far away, let’s sit. Let’s look at all the beauty displayed. Remember our friends, our hearts’ knit, as we enjoy nature’s trees as they sway, with gold and reds, all Fall’s c...

When my husband Richard was a little boy on the Navajo Reservation, his mother Amy, would take him out sheepherding. He'd sit around playing with sticks and stones that he called his toys. As he grew older he took the responsibility to watch over the sheep. His mother would send him out with pieces of dried meat and tortillas or fried bread and sometimes dried corn and plenty of water. Sheepherders take the flocks to water or where there's grazing and good grasses to eat. When he took me down to Cactus Valley he would show me some areas where he would watch his sheep and showed me various types of grass that appealed to them. He talked about his favorite dog Skippy who protected him and helped him. There were times when mountain lions and wolves would prey upon a lonesome sheep or lamb but Richard was armed with sling shots and rocks he'd hurl at them and yell and sometimes scream for them to leave. He said it was hard work taking the sheep out and not get back for sometime...

The Lord is Coming Back As I look out the window to see the pink blossoms, they express such beauty and purity and reality, that I can’t help but thik how the Lord sums all those flowers and weeds in such surety. We will go to His throne some wonderful day but will we be ready to say our work’s through? and will we be glad we’re there so we can say Yes Lord, I did what you bid and did what I knew. Some wonderful day we’ll see our loved ones who have passed so many tests and many trials. And we’ll sing for joy for what we have done to labor for the Lord and reap riches in piles. Some of us won’t be there to celebrate with Him for we who have forgotten His kindness and words, will be uprooted from the dry foundation within, and never will His face be seen, but only discords. So, world be ready for our time is very short and our Lord will come so soon like a thief that He will catch us unaware. We won’t retort. So make each moment count for Him in belief. We have a dream and soon it will ...

I have never seen angels but my husband did. He passed away five years ago. He was a Navajo Indian and I'm an anglo..belagonna in their language. I have lived on and around the Navajo reservation for years. My husband told me of his experience as a young boy before he gave his life to the Lord and he believed they came from God. As a small boy, he was raised by his uncle. He told me many stories of his real father who died at a small mission in Mexico. His mother only speaks Navajo but he remembers his mother telling him and his sister one day that they were in danger of marauders or banditos who came to kill those at the mission. He and his brothers and sister left running into the hills and later got back to the states. They heard gunshots behind them and later found out that his dad was killed. When he was living with his uncle who was very abusive, he ran away from home in the middle of winter wearing nothing on his feet. He ran until he could run no longer. He remembers lookin...

So where did all my friends go? Read the following poem as I've considered those I left behind. Where did all my good friends go? Some are here, others I don’t know. With so many childhood memories the thoughts I try so hard to seize.. I often wonder what they’re doing. Are they married or careers pursuing? It’s a miracle that I still can remember, Their faces and mannerisms rendered. Why can’t I find my dearest of friends? I’d like to see them as my days end. We would have so much to reminisce I’ll not forget them. They’re on my list. If ever I see them, it’ll bring such joy. A band of musicians I’ll have to employ. To see them again is like a puzzle piece that would bring my soul some release. Lord take care of those I’ve left behind. Please guide them spirit, soul and mind. ©Copyright, 8/18/08, Kathryn Tyler Little

Yesterday, I posted about him not being able to go to school yet. Well, we had two miracles happen. When Daniel told me, I immediately got online, wrote to Thuy, the student recruiter, who has been helping me with processing him through several channels. I made several attempts to get in touch with the school but none of the departments were answering. I knew they were busy. I did, however, get in touch with the welding instructor by the name of Al. He and I talked about the processing and the lack of communication in the different departments. He said that Daniel was not the only one who has been through this craziness. Soon after lunch, Daniel called and said that Al, the teacher, had called him at home and said to come down Thursday for orientation. Wow..an answer to prayer already. He drove to the office and picked up the gas card and as we left the parking lot in back of the business, he saw that his tire was flat. He didn't think he had a spare. I then called my loyal tire ma...

August 6, 2008 Over the past three months my son Daniel and I have been trying to get him funding for school in Phoenix. Without mentioning names we ran into a lot of problems. My son had gone online and submitted his application for federal loans through FAFSA and that was done in May and early June. The main problem was his initial attempt to get funding through the tribe he belongs to. He submitted his forms, transcripts to one of the tribal offices because of its proximity. When I had done all I could and sent some forms overnight, calling, emailing, faxing, the office that was supposed to receive the forms said we didn't get them in on time. Funny thing, though, the papers were handed in two weeks before the deadline. The problem was that they were supposed to be sent to another agency but that was through their own offices, not something my son or I could do. Now who is at fault? The school, where he was supposed to go, has a recruiting office where I emailed back and forth t...

There was a great deal of preparation for our Prayer Night for Israel this past Sunday. I was responsible for the music, Hebrew songs, a dance for the morning and evening service. We had a guest speaker, Rabbi Russ Resnik, Executive Director of the Union of Messianic Congregations. This was his second appearance and he brought a message and pictures of his involvement in Israel and 85 other Messianic congregations. He also has written books and brought one of them to sell at a table in the foyer. My worship team helped sing the Hebrew songs, including Mayim, Mayim, Simantov Ou Mazeltov, Hatikva, Artza Aleenu and several other songs that related to the prayers spoken for the government or Knesset, the land, unity, peace and reconciliation. At the evening meeting Rabbi showed us how Messianic Jews partake of the communion and shared the meal with us. He also said that many Messianic Jews in Israel were experiencing prejudice. If a person came into Israel and their grandfather or relative...

BABY BOOMER DIVA BIRTHDAY! HOORAY!!!! Yes, it’s true. Beverly Mahone’s Yahoo group was started a year ago July 22, 2007th. Beverly, is a well known radio internet talk show hostess. Her show can be heard at http://www.blogtalkradio.com/whateverlive . She also has written several books. She’s an exciting person to listen to so go to her link. I can’t quite remember when I joined the group but there hasn’t been a moment since that I regretted the decision. I also made a decision in October, 2007, to go to the first Baby Boomer Spring Retreat to be held in Daytona Beach, Fl. It was a great weekend and my second long distance trip since my husband died. I think of myself as an active, divinely, inspired, vivacious and anointed woman thus the name D.I.V.A. Being a baby boomer has had its pitfalls, mainly, not having a career. But several of the DIVA women are in business and have a great deal to share about internet businesses, management, financial decisions and communicating by internet h...
