Even a silent prayer is loud to the heavens, how much louder do you think all our prayers united could be?! The Lord hears and answers an amount of prayers that we could not fully even imagine or fathom his abilities. "Yes", "No", and "Wait"... he will answer, you will see it, hear it or know it.

Pray for our nation, our world, our neighbors, our loved ones. Pray for understanding and wisdom and faith, especially in the trying times we are in. Pray for what is in your heart.

I will also pray for those of you that need him, that your hearts be open to hear the call of Jesus on the door of your heart. Open the door. God bless you.

He hears us!

1 Kings 8:30 May you hear the humble and earnest requests from me and your people Israel when we pray toward this place. Yes, hear us from heaven where you live, and when you hear, forgive.
1 Kings 9:3 The Lord said to him,“I have heard your prayer and your petition. I have set this Temple apart to be holy—this place you have built where my name will be honored forever. I will always watch over it, for it is dear to my heart.

Jeremiah 29:11-13 11 For I know the plans I have for you,” says the Lord. “They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope. 12 In those days when you pray, I will listen. 13 If you look for me wholeheartedly, you will find me.

What does Cheap Family Fun have to do with Minute Maid Juice Boxes?

Thank you Minute Maid, we had fun this weekend! Better than the coupons in the newspaper, Minute Maid juice boxes have coupons for Chuckie Cheese. We had a few hours of fun for $25.00 for a family that's a pretty good deal. We bought 100 tokens at $25 and got 100 more free. And I myself like going there. I can win on "Deal or No Deal". This is the second time I won the top tickets, some how I can follow the case at the start of the game. Last time I had one token left and was determined to get my kids the 40 ticket case, and I did. I was flushed with excitement, you'd think I just won a jackpot in Vegas! This time the jackpot was 50 ticket case, and I played once determined to win, and I did again!

So, drink 100% Juice and have some family fun!

Was Darwin a Christian? Did he believe in God? Did he recant evolutionism when he died?

Sometimes we believe what we want to believe but the truth is out there and there is no denying the truth. I believe I know the truth... we all will learn some day, maybe only in the end for some, the true... truth.

Afford a Vacation on a Budget in Orange County, California - Plus Day Trip ideas Disneyland, Beach, Movies, Museum

Think... Day trips as mini vacations! Think locally. With a little googling, binging, or yahooing, coupons and discounts a vacation is possible! As an example, for those that live here in Southern California, Orange County there is a lot to offer... we live in a vacation destination location! I have some day trip ideas. First, here's an idea for a vacation not so away from home, unless of course you aren't in OC. Have you dreamt of an ocean front property? Why not vacation right here in our own backyard? Oceanfront properties can be pretty pricey especially in the Summer months (lasting through September). Yet, if you are close to home, think of the savings: no flights, less gas costs, and no need for a car rental.

I found one oceanfront deal for you in Laguna, CA.:

This oceanfront property in Laguna is for those less accustomed to luxury and more about location. Weekly rates start at $1000 for the studio; Summer rates are $1500. The studio has a large lounging porch right above the sand and big screen TV: Studios De Laguna http://studiosdelaguna.com/

What about Disneyland?

If you want you can book a hotel nearby Disney and park hop for a couple days, or skip the hotel and park hop for the day or more stay home and go back... either way we live close enough that a hotel is not even needed! And guess what? You can find tickets for less! Try Craigslist: Disneyland on Orangecounty.Craigslist.org I haven't tried this personally but you can rent your park hopper tickets for less! Found this: http://cheapvacationforyou.com/ Located near Disneyland in Anaheim, CA.

Try searching for other tickets for concerts, other amusement parks, and other day trip ideas. Local concerts are much cheaper for entertainment. Craigslist, www.pennysaverusa.com for ads and coupons too.

Day trips are the easiest "mini vacations". You can fill your calendar with lots of these: Plan your dining and fun for the day (use coupons), and go home after- you can have lots of "vacations" like this on a tight budget.

Beach Trips:

Park yourself early at a nearby bonfire and barbecue, voila beach vacation!
What you need to plan a beach day/evening: Lots of large throw blankets, sunscreen, hand sanitizer, baby wipes, jackets, sun umbrellas, chairs, towels, a couple coolers, picnic basket, drinks, sandwiches and other goodies (fyi hold the mayo not safe if set out too long), for the barbecuers keep it easy with hot dogs and buns, marshmallows and sticks (real ones or metal for roasting). You can vary this trip for a park trip instead.

Dana Point Harbor Dana Point CA. offers Sports-fishing and Whale Watching: Half priced days Tuesdays and Wednesdays. Calendar/buy tickets: http://www.zerve.com/DanaWharf


There are also lots of freebies out there, search online in your local area for free entertainment.

Here's one idea for you in Newport Beach, CA:
Orange County Museum of Arts: Free admission every second Sunday and children under 12 are free: OCMA.com Rates You can also visit South Coast Plaza nearby for dinner and shopping.

Cheap fun!

$1-$2 Movies! Recently out movies; Dollar hotdogs YAY! Not in California? Look for one near you! http://www.starplexcinemas.com/locations.php
In Orange County, CA- Woodbridge Movies 5, Irvine: 4626 Barranca Parkway, CA 92604 Movie Line 949-733-0980, info 949-733-3795

Make it a Tuesday for Dinner and a Movie!: $1 movies are on Tuesdays and Ruby's diner nearby offers free meals after 4pm for children 12 and under with adult meal purchase also on Tuesdays. In the Woodbridge shopping center there are coffee and bakery shops, a painting class for kids and adult, and a Barnes and Noble bookstore. Nearby a bridge takes you just a walk away to a beautiful lake with swimming ducks. Fun for everyone in the family... even on a budget!

More ideas anyone? Comment and share with your locals. Gotta help each other in this economy.

Remember God's Holy Angels are With Us

Via You Tube: Guardian Angel Caught on Tape:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SSJ-vMbqJ7g&feature=fvw

I remember a few times I have been prompted by the Holy Spirit, and quite possibly by an angel or my guardian angel to act and help someone. A couple times people have called me an angel. I am not one, but I do believe they are here and here to help us. As I write this, I feel I have one with me now, I cannot see one, but I feel protected, guarded. I know there are many traffic accidents I have been helped in, or even avoided. I know that my dreams have come true at times, prompting me that I need to pray. I have a sort of awareness, discernment of good and bad in the 'supernatural' world. God's Holy Angels are here to help us, to send us messages and protect us. Then there are 'dark angels', fallen angels referred to as demons. The holy angels, protect us also from them.

Remember, the lord is with us everywhere, in every moment. And listen to your quiet voice, the warnings and the promptings. And be thankful for them.


from Gospel.com "Entertain Angels" http://www.gospel.com/topics/entertain+angels "We're not to hesitate to help or extend hospitality to strangers--for sometimes the strangers we're helping turn out to have been sent by God. We never know through whom God will speak to our lives, so we shouldn't ever turn down an opportunity to serve."

Hebrews 13:1-3 1 Keep on loving each other as brothers and sisters.[a] 2 Don’t forget to show hospitality to strangers, for some who have done this have entertained angels without realizing it! 3 Remember those in prison, as if you were there yourself. Remember also those being mistreated, as if you felt their pain in your own bodies.

[a. Hebrews 13:1 Greek Continue in brotherly love.]

Is California and Mexico Falling off soon? Look at this Earthquake Map, plus helpful information

No, I don't think we are really falling off the map anytime soon, but check out this site, especially Mexico- Baja California area- WOW! There are so many earthquakes and aftershocks since Easter's big one. So far in South Orange County I have felt 3 total, the 7.2 and 5.5 from Mexico area and last night 1.9 in SE California. I know people closer to the Mexico border have felt even more. Check out this earthquake map for today 4-10-2010 Map Centered at 37°N, 120°W

Earthquake site with worldwide information: http://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/
Prepare for an earthquake: http://earthquake.usgs.gov/prepare/
The earthquake site is good for updates and to report if you "felt it".  I can hardly believe I felt one in SE California late last night while checking out the earthquake site. I refreshed the page and saw it listed at 1.9 magnitude, don't know how I felt that! My desk and chair are a little wobbly which makes it easier to notice though. Interesting stuff though, crazy how much the land we tread on shakes beneath us!

I am just going to put this out there- Please don't take me seriously, would just be 'trippy' if this came true. I had a dream this last week about a year and the World Series? I don't really know why. Now, I was just searching earthquakes and it turns out there are a bunch of people expecting a BIG ONE in California West coast to happen later this year. Okay, I don't follow that stuff! But, I just came across information that stated in 1989 there was a 7.1 in San Francisco during the World Series... this wasn't the year I dreamt I think? This just felt a little ironic, So I want to make a guesstimate... If I am right than whoa! If not, hey it's just a guess for fun?...
Remember just guessing, maybe a broad range sometime in October: October 1, 4, 5, 7, 8, or 9, 27 2010, if I had to pick one specific date- for fun... hmm October 7, 2010.  I really don't know. Just based on some numbers about the World Series. I am not usually one to predict stuff, but I have had some strange dreams come true- the last being a tsunami, a boy lost from home rescued by a bus driver, and death/murder, the location and what they looked like, police and a family= All of these I saw soon later in the news/paper the last one being very close to my home.

1906 San Francisco earthquake, some of my family survived this.

And no, I don't think California, Mexico, or the west coast will fall off the map. I watched some information that more likely over a period of time, that I won't see, the coast of Cali will shift upwards. Tsunami's are another story, I do think that our coastline is wearing away from the ocean tide. In my lifetime the sand on local beaches here are half of what I remember. Whatever the case we are in God's hands if a big anything comes. Don't worry just learn to be prepared, we have no true knowledge of when... anything, except that we know there will be disasters.

God bless, Alysa
