A Stolen Life
One of my favorite movies is "A Stolen Life" with Bette Davis. She has a twin sister that always has everything.......even the man.......when Katie (the nice sister) meets Glenn Ford (I forgot his name in the movie).......she is awe struck.......when her sister Pat (the selfish evil one) gets to meet him well he is taken by her, thus leaving Katie left alone. They marry and what Katie did not know was that her sister Pat was cheating on Glenn Ford the entire marriage and that she had left him. When the sisters got together again, Katie still did not know. A storm came up and Pat (the evil twin) drowned.......Katie did all she could to save her. When Katie woke up in a home everyone thought she was Pat.....so Katie lived the life of Pat so she could be with Glenn Ford and then finding out that Pat was a horrible wife and had an affair on Glenn Ford........she had to confess she was not Pat and he knew by the time she told him. The story ended with them getting back together.
The title of the movie gave me much thought. A Stolen Life.........that is what satan does to us.....he steals the life God has planned for us. He comes in so calm and cool and shows us things that look like what we have prayed for and what we want with us having a great chance to have our dreams come true......and he puts a twist on the temptation. He causes a story line to look really great when all along evil is waiting in the end. HE STEALS our life but ONLY WE can let him. satans only goal in life is to kill,steal, and to destroy us..........If you have not talked to JESUS lately.......take some time today to visit him and get to know him.....if you have not asked JESUS to be your personal savior I hope you will take a look at Romans 10:8-13 and ask JESUS into your heart and start a new story in your life of purity and love and serving JESUS. It is time to stop satan from destroying your life. Victoria
PS I will never give satan a capital letter like s........he deserves only hell.

Tips
Here is a place with recipes for home cleaning. www.thegreenguide.com
If your fridge is more than 10 years old........it could be sapping tons of electricity. (ALL YOU)
Don't forget to have your chimney cleaned this year.
Closing your closet doors will help on your electric bill.
Do you know about www.freecycle.org
Buy some new batteries and change your Smoke Detector.
Stock up on germ products before they are sold out due to flu season.
I just have never used an extended warranty. I won't be buying anymore.
Call your cable company and see if they have any specials. This could save on your bill.
If you have children you can install a shower timer.
I always ask my car service company to let me know when things will need to be changed or fixed on my car before it happens so I can save.
Keep coupons with you but don't buy what you would not normally buy and you can really save money.

Did You Know?
Drinking fruit juices can wear down enamel really bad on our teeth? The erosion increases odds of getting cavities. Use a straw to drink you juices and then I recommend to rinse your mouth out with water to bring your mouth to neutral. Drinking from a straw can cause wrinkles around your mouth like smoking so be careful how you slurp the straw....I try and use my teeth and not my lips when using a straw.
Since we are on the computers so much.....and we don't blink as much while on the computers........rest your eyes throughout the day.
Eat fruit and veggies every day I have to start this again.
To cut down on debt.........get a credit card with a limit of $200 and pay off each month. If you can't pay off the purchases each money.....don't charge. Debt cards are not protected like credit cards.
If you want to refresh a blouse or top with buttons or your jacket from several years.........buy beautiful buttons and give your blouse a fresh look. I used to do this all the time. When I visited California, I would buy buttons and a fabulous button shop and when I returned home I would start replacing the buttons.........I like the button to match the shirt. Once I took my pink blouse that had white buttons on it and changed out all the buttons to black because I always wore that top with black slacks.......I also love the french cuff on ladies blouses too. That jacket with new bold buttons will turn a so so jacket into a sensational jacket for little cost.
ALL YOU MAGAZINE has great coupons.
Check out Lowe's or Home Depot for FREE classes.
Find out all that your baking soda can do.
Check the tires on your car to make sure you are getting the best gas.
Keep your trunk clear to save on gas.
Christmas time is around the corner........start picking up gifts for friends and loved ones now. Also look for a family in much need so you can help them this Christmas.

Take Time For JESUS
We are always praying for our needs and I thank him all the time. Start a day maybe more that you spend that time PRAISING HIM for all he has done. The water, the birds, the trees, etc. I do this all the time but for those that don't I pray you choose a day to just all day long praise JESUS CHRIST. The Great I AM. He deserves more than us always asking which he wants us to do but Praising HIM.......is wonderful for him. He is lonely for more of our love for him.

From Birds and Blooms
Milk Jugs
1. Cut them into strips to make plant markers.
2. Use them as collars to keep cutworms from destroying young plants.
3. Make a simple watering can. Just cut a small hole in one bottom corner and set it next to a
plant. The water slowly seeps out.
4. Cut a hole in the side and make it a bird feeder.
5. Slide it over your bird feeder pole as a squirrel baffle.
6. Cut off the bottom and one side up to the handle for a scoop for birdseed or potting soil.
Blue Jays love unsalted peanuts, shell and all. Buy in bulk for money savings. They will flock to your feeders.
Don't discard your old scarves.....wrap them around your pots and containers for an added flair. This works on indoor pots.......I would also use material to decorate my pots. I am going to have to do that on two of my indoor planters.
To watch some great bird moments, visit: www.birdsandblooms.com and click on "Videos".
Pretty fall-blooming shrubs for zones 3-9: Whitch hazel.
Zones 5-9 Scotch heather and zones 5-9 Caryopteris.

It Is Tip Time Again {Woman's World Magazine}
*Kansas State University study states that a pinch of cinnamon will zap 99% of stomach-flu triggers like E. coli or salmonella. Cinnamon's active ingredients--eugena and cinnamaldehydes are what does the trick. Add at least 1/2 teaspoon to food daily.
*A natural antacid in apples relives heartburn and discomfort.
*My tip: Save all of your change for a year. If you must have it then for at least 6 mnths....even is something costs $1.02 give them $2 and keep the change. I was doing this before Bank America started it.
*Start looking now for Christmas gifts. My favorite places online are www.100percentpure.com,
www.cooksvanilla.com, their Vanilla Powder is sensational....www.carolsrosegarden.com. The 100% Pure bars of pure soap are huge and they are only $6 a bar and I cut them lengthwise and I can use the bar for two months. That is only $3 a month and it is pure. You can find them in the shower gels page. Regular soap leaves film on our bodies. yuck.
*On a cool night make homemade chili.
*Start looking for sensational soup recipes for fall and winter and stock up each time you go to the market.
*Refrigerator odors? Place slices of stale bread {this will absorb odors} on the shelves and drawers and let it sit overnight. In the morning toss out the bread. This is a great tip and may be better than Baking Soda.........no but this will work in a pinch.
*Musty mildew? Leave a pile of charcoal criquettes {not the fast lighting kind} in a bowl overnight in your kitchen. The charcoal neutralizes scents and eliminates moisture, leaving your kitchen fresh. I guess this would work in an old closet too.
*Natural fresh herbs will also act as a natural deodorizer.
*Add vinegar to your rinse cycle while rinsing your new jeans, use half a cup and the acid helps set the indigo dyes. I do this with black clothing too.

ENJOY
