Spam, Spam and More Spam

Do you ever feel like this when you look at the number in your spam folder?

I am beginning to feel more and more like this cat every day!  I don’t know how or why but recently my spam folders on my e-mail and this blog have exploded.  Every time I turn around it is filling up again!  Especially here and I just don’t get it.  Where doe this stuff come from and how is it getting to me?  Can anyone explain it to me?  I am beginning to really get frustrated with the whole mess!

Let me give you an example:  This morning when I first got on here to do my posts there were 127 comments in my spam folder.  I know by the wording that they are computer generated.  I’ve learned that much so far.  So I deleted them.  I did one post and see that there are now 38 more there!  It wasn’t even an hour later.  They are, of course, more of the same.

Now how does that happen?  I mean, why me?  Does everybody get this much or did I do something to cause this irritation to start with?  Did I get linked into somewhere that this crap comes from?  Heeelllppp!

If any of you know what I can do to fix this problem, please tell me ’cause they’re driving me nuts!  I don’t know if it matters whether or not I just let them build up but I don’t want it to bog down my blog’s response time because of spam

Lord give me strength and serenity!

With total frustration,

Gasoline Prices

 

I, as well as millions, can’t understand why the price of gas has gone up so rapidly.  It makes no sense to me when you get some one day and then the next day it has gone up 17 cents!  How does that happen?!  The American people are getting hosed by somebody out there!!  It really makes me mad that Mark gets this great job, which is 23 miles one way, and half his income seems to be going in the gas tank!  God help us!!

We can’t afford to get a new vehicle unless God blesses us which a miracle.  So what do you do?  My mom sent me an e-mail with some gas saving tips.  You all probably know most of them but maybe there is one that you don’t, so here’s what she gave me:

Avoid high speed.  Driving 62 mph instead of 65 mph can reduce fuel consumption by about 15 percent.

Do not accelerate or brake hard.  This could save as much as 20%.

Keep tires inflated.  Refer to your car manual and keep tires inflated to the recommended pressure.

Use cruise control.  It can save gas.

Avoid heavy loads.  Remove heavy items from car.

Avoid long idles.  If more than a minute shut off the car.

Hope there was a tip or two for you.  I knew most of these but the one about 62 mph instead of 65 was new to me.  I don’t know what we all are going to do when they start jacking us for $5 a gallon! 

Please God, help us poor people down here ’cause the world is completely out of control.

Always remember that Jesus died for us because He loves us!

Blessings,

Treasure

The man who has God for his treasure has all things in one.   A.W. Tozer

It is the man who
no matter what others do,

Has the LORD God above
in his heart with love,

And makes Him his treasure
over which nothing can measure,

Having all things in One
when it is said and done!
