PUNCH HIS LIGHTS OUT!!!!!

By Anita Mondragon

We watched a movie last night, called, “Southpaw”.  It was written by Kurt Sutter. Here’s what he had to say about its origin.

Sutter’s script follows a welterweight boxing champion (Eminem) whose life is upended when tragedy strikes…“In a way, this is a continuation of the 8 Mile story, but rather than a literal biography, we are doing a metaphorical narrative of the second chapter of his life. He’ll play a world champion boxer who really hits a hard bottom, and has to fight to win back his life for his young daughter. At its core, this is a retelling of his struggles over the last five years of his life, using the boxing analogy. I love that the title refers to [Eminem] being a lefty, which is to boxing what a white rapper is to hip hop; dangerous, unwanted and completely unorthodox. It’s a much harder road for a southpaw than a right-handed boxer.”…the real-life element adds a nice layer to the drama.

As we were cleaning out the garage for the Swap, Mike found his old song book.  It has numerous songs in it that he wrote many years ago.  I grabbed it up, and brought it in to share with you readers.  Here’s one of the many.   Keep in mind….this is God speaking to YOU!  Enjoy! -anita

THE CROSSROADS…

Here is a poem I wrote in March of 2013.  It was at a time when I had some serious choices to make, and was unclear about the direction I needed to go.  I’m sure we can all relate to this dilemma! -anita


THANKS!

I hope everyone has a wonderful Thanksgiving Day!   The blessings of God are abundant in our everyday lives if we will just look for them!

I want to share a poem with you.  I wrote it in November of 2009.  The following things are just a few of God’s blessings in my life.  Take inventory…I’m sure you’ll find many blessings as well!  When you recount them all…don’t forget to thank Him!


THE TENTH…OR, TITHE

By Anita Mondragon

When folks hear the word, ‘Tithe’, they usually turn the volume down.  Why is that?  Because no one wants to give their hard-earned money away…not to anyone, especially to God!

The thing that most Christians fail to realize is that God DOES NOT, I repeat…DOES NOT NEED your money!  He just wants your obedience.  He wants us to depend upon Him for our needs. Read more…

I heard a statement the other day, and immediately thought about Satan.  The statement was this:

In order to defeat your enemy, you must first learn what he fears most!
