May God give you...
For every storm, a rainbow,
For every tear, a smile,
For every care, a promise,
And a blessing in each trial.
For every problem life sends,
A faithful friend to share,
For every sigh, a sweet song,
And an answer for each prayer.
Although we work daily whether online or off often we don't take the time to stop and smell the roses. I've decided it's time to do just that and reflect on some of the similar things in life such as the collection of Irish Prayers and Irish Blessings I've been saving on my computer for years.

My most inspiring garden experience
My most inspiring garden experience happened many years ago in a backyard garden in Texas. At that time it was the largest garden I had ever tended and I spend countless hours caring for the many fruits, vegetables, and flowers. I never tired though and loved my time in the garden. One of my favorite times in the garden ha...

How can the presence of God be described
I can only describe the presence of God by the following story that happened to me a few years ago: It was a mid-January night in Michigan. The wind was howling outside shaking the house and whistling through a few gaps in window moldings it wasn't snowing but very easily could. The kids were sleeping in their beds; I had lo... More..

Affiliate Program Kindred Konnections aka MyTrees
MyTrees is one of those affiliate programs I signed up with several years ago and pretty much forgot about it just as I did several of my blogs including my 'Faith's Family Tree Blog'.
Guess what though even though I have none nothing to promote this program I did get a check in the mail last year. I had forgotten I even belonged to the program so was a great surprise. This program does pay so will recommend it to others.
If your not interested in the affiliate program you may still like to join up and use this site to connect with your own Family Tree.

Please Stop, Think, Check before Forwarding E-mails
Ok, we've all gotten them those emails that ask you to forward to everyone on your email list. For the most part these are kind hearted people just wanting to warn or inform their friends and family of 'problems' or 'concerns'. But are they really helping anyone?
NO - in fact they are creating more problems. First of all the majority of these warnings are hoaxes - not true or have no truth behind them so you've caused concern in your friends for nothing. A great place to check these emails is Snopes.com . It's really simple to check the honesty behind a 'please forward' or 'PLEASE send a copy to' email.
Just copy a portion of the email and paste it into the search feature on Snopes. The most recent I received I took from the first line of the email "IF A PERSON CALLED SIMON ASHTON" (without the quotes). Then click on the “GO!” button. That will take you to a second page with a list of articles. For this search there were two articles on the list and the very top one was the exact same email I received. By clicking on that you can read the full information on this forwarded email - http://www.snopes.com/computer/internet/hackermail.asp . The red button with FALSE next to it tells me NOT to forward this email.
A second problem forwarding these emails causes is the majority of people who do forward these messages don't bother to do it 'privately'. These means the next person who receives the message now has access to all the email addresses you sent it to as well as the people the person who sent it to YOU sent it to and so on. Not saying everyone is going to do this but there are many people on the net that make money by selling 'email address lists'.
Do you want your email address as well as all of your friends and families' addresses to be sold to strangers for a fraction of a cent and receive 1000s of unwanted emails? Most likely NOT. Please, when forwarding anything use the BCC (blind carbon copy) feature offered by most email systems - you can still send to more than one person but those peoples' email addresses are kept private.
Before you click that 'forward' button consider are you helping your friends and family by sending them this email or are you merely creating more problems for them.
