My life is hitting me hard with so many negative things, but I never expected God to hit me this hard.  As you know from my previous post about my adoption of Oliver and him having to deal with severe diarrhea due to parasites and then an upper respiratory infection.  A couple of weeks ago we took him for his booster shots. After receiving the booster shots he started to sneeze a lot. We read that booster shots can cause cats to sneeze a lot, so we were blaming his sneezes on the shots.  Two weeks later, I came home from work around 5:30 pm to find him acting so strange. He wasn't his playful self. He still had an appetite. He had a little crusty stuff on his eyes. A huge red flag that something was seriously wrong was when I saw him on his perch shivering and looking very lethargic. When I petted him or pick him up he will cry in pain. Oliver loves being petted and picked up, so this was another red flag that something is seriously wrong with my boy.  My mom and I immediat

In May of 2018, Jakie Punkin, my 16 years old cat, passed away from cancer. He went in for his yearly teeth cleaning to getting a call saying the reason why is nose is always crusty isn't due to teeth it is due to jaw cancer. They gave him only 2 weeks to live.  I didn't believe them since they told me I would only have him for 1-3 years when we found out he had liver problems and cysts near his eyes.  I turned to the interest. I found some amazing products. and put him on Rescue Remedy for Pets, and CBD oil made for pets. I immediately went online trying to figure out how to slow cancer down. He was eating, playing and cuddling, so he wasn't in a lot of pain. I ended up calling a pet psychic Judy. She guided me through the process by telling me how he is doing. I learned he wanted to he wants to die to at home and not at the vet.  He told me he wants to come back but needs a year or so to recover after having a body that wasn't working right for a very long time

ABOUT THE BOOK Several books have been published about Vice President Mike Pence, but none have touched upon what may be the most fascinating aspect of our nation’s second in command: his deep faith. The Faith of Mike Pence  offers an intimate look at the man who calls himself “a Christian, a conservative, and a Republican, in that order.” Author Leslie Montgomery details Pence’s spiritual journey and examines how the vice president’s commitment to Christ has been a key component in his life as a husband, father, and public servant. Montgomery examines Pence’s encounters with politicos and evangelistic leaders such as James Dobson and Charles Lake. She shows the role of Pence’s faith in running for various offices, implementing faith-based initiatives, and responding to 9/11, the war in Afghanistan and Iraq, and the infamous Anthrax scare in Congress that directly affected him. The Faith of Mike Pence  is a powerful account of one of the most conservative vice presidents in A
