God, Goddesses, Angels, Demons, Spirits and Life -
What Do You Believe?
So many different beliefs, stories, myths, history and questions. We all believe in something. Our world and it's constant fascination with the occult and witchcraft, vampires and werewolves, demons and angels at war, myths of Zeus and Poseidon, stonehenge and pyramids, Aztec's and Nostradamus, we show the ideas and beliefs of their actual possibility are flickering somewhere within.
Everyone believes in something. Perhaps there is something in everyone's religion and beliefs that in actuality might show they are all bits and pieces of ONE - Is it possible each is just it's own chapter in a much bigger book of life!?!
If we believe in a hereafter and an afterlife of any kind - then we must also believe there is only one hereafter that we all believe in! There isn't a different one for each religion - there is only one - I don't care if you believe in your spirit coming back or that St Pete will meet you at the gate or if you believe you will burn in fiery hell - it is one and the same - it is from the point of death to your body that your soul advances to a hereafter point -
My Bible is comprised of ancient writings from the libraries of the Pope of the Catholic Church and were commissioned to be put together as a Bible by King James, which is why it is called The King James Version. They went through innumerable ancient writings and chose which writings they wanted to include in the Bible and which they would leave out! An example would be the writings concerning Jesus as a child.
Other writings which were not included are "The Dead Sea Scrolls", writings contained in the Catholic Bible, the Hebrew Bible, and other religious books. Some of the writings in these books are actually different translations of the same actual writing.
Leaders of Religions teach these books and just as society in a whole has evolved and changed over the years, so have religions - evolution in teachings for daily living, but basics always remain the same. Do you have faith that you are learning your life's lessons and living your life here to secure a better afterlife for your soul? Or are you not feeding your soul and your faith? Are you letting your spirit wither and harden in preparation for an afterlife of hell?
Perhaps you say you don't believe - that when you die you just die - there is no physical evidence of an afterlife - To that I say that the rebirth of the earth and all her bounty each Spring is proof of rebirth.
What do you believe? Is it logical or is it faith? Faith is not born of logic - faith is born of life's experiences and God's miracles and answered prayers. Faith is nurtured and grows as one lives their beliefs, learns their life's lessons, and lives accordingly.
Perhaps all the various religious writings and books, the myths and stories of ancient Gods and Goddesses, angels and demons should all be put together. If all the different translations were actually put into one translation of the exact writings, and all Indian and Aztec and Greek and Egyptian, etc., and were all combined into one story -maybe there would be one book of life with many different chapters.
God, Gods, Goddesses, Angels, Demons, Spirits and Life - my Bible tells me there are other Gods besides Him who is named Jehovah. He tells me not to take another God before him. My Bible tells me of Angels and Demons, of Spirits, of witchcraft and monsters. What do you believe?

Living to Die, Dying to Live
Are we all really equal? Two definitive facts say we are. Each of us were born into this world. And second, each of us were born to die. To the essence of are we all really equal, well each of us are living to die, dying to live and in those aspects we are all definitely equal.
It is what we do with the life we are given that makes everyone unique and each life a gift and creates so called inequality. The lessons of life for each of us are the same yet different in the methods used to teach each individual. For some the true meanings of grace, humility, respect, generosity, compassion and the many other lessons are easily learned. Others have a difficult time with various aspects and are doomed to repeat mistakes until the specific lesson is mastered.
Living to die is what all of us do daily yet not many of us actually live as if each day might be the day that we reach the goal for which we were born - dying. If everyone were to live each day as if it might be there last, I wonder how much more love and compassion might be showering upon each of us. How many arguments might be averted and how many family dinners would be shared?
Everyone is dying to live their life as they want to live it. Exactly how is that going to be? How has that been? If the Dr walked in and told you that you had one week to live, would you be dying to live? Would you be making major changes to your lifestyle or would you be confident that you have been living to die and are ready to meet your maker on the other side?
After all, if we are dying to live, then we should definitely be living to die!

Just Me Granny D's Launching Etsy Site!
It has long been a hobby of mine to take photographs of everything - I have drawers and boxes full of photographs of scenery, horses, dogs, deer, inanimate objects, clouds, storms, and just about anything one can imagine. For several years I made and sold various types of greeting cards which featured my photography. Since that time I have taken thousands more photos that I believe would be great for a couple of new lines of greeting cards.
Besides my photography and greeting cards - I find I have a house full of vintage items that really might be appreciated more somewhere else. Over the years I think I have kept most everything anyone has ever given me - some very interesting items and a few strange items mixed in with vintage collectibles and odds and ends. Each time I open a drawer or a box on a shelf in my house I see things I think 'someone somewhere could probably really use that' -
I am working on developing an inventory, taking the photos for display, preparing a price list, checking on shipping and handling details, and determining my advertising possibilities at the moment. But with determination, Just Me Granny D will be launching the Etsy store site next Friday - that would of course be Black Friday!
As a stay at home and work online granny, it only makes sense to venture into this next avenue of online income opportunity and offer items for sale from Granny D's personal photography and private collections - just wait till you see what is to come!!!!
