Who’s the Boss? Who’s the Bomb?
Good morning! Good
afternoon! Good evening! What
ever the time of day you’re perusing
these printed pages, I pray you are
finding your life completely satisfy
ing.
If not, consider your answer to
these questions, “Who is the boss
in your life, in your family, and at
your place of employment?” Your
answers have everything to do with
your level of satisfaction in living.
The number one issue facing the
people of this county, this country,
this world, my family and yours, is
the same. All conflicts find resolu
tion in answering the question,
“Who’s in charge here?”
As a single parent and the head
of my household, I often feel as if I
need immediate direction and sup
port (maybe even an escape route)
just to deal with parenting my two
pre-teens. At the end of the day or
over the weekend together, my
family and I can easily find our
selves in a contest of wills except
for the fact that we all have the per
fect boss, the one who rules even
me, the parent. With His guidance,
I cannot fail to persevere, even
when tlie times are stormy and the
power struggles are intense.
It all boils down to getting a
quick answer to; “Whose the
boss? Whose in charge here,
anyway? Who is going to fix
this?”
For the young ones, over
come with feelings, it’s sympto
matic at times. They can’t fig
ure out how to get control of
their feelings. They don’t really
even understand their feelings.
Our kids are overwhelmed at
times, just like we adults, by
their physical and emotional
limits and the conflicts and re
quirements of the day.
Even though we know we
are the boss, “the parent,”
when our children get beyond
reasoning or beyond consoling,
where can we get instant in
sight, or at least instant sup
port? One Place: The Great

your boss enhances your life 100%.

Physician’s Office—Open 24-
Hours Per Day.
God is the boss I cannot do
without. He is the healer and the
helper for both myself and my chil
dren. He is truly the bomb for you
and for me and for the young ones
we’re raising with such high hopes.
God asked only one thing of me
in exchange for His cooperation.
What’s that? I had to believe that
He sent His Son, Jesus Christ, to
die for my sins and personally ask
Jesus to forgive me of my sins and
come into my soul as ruler of all of
me.
What a perfect Boss I have in
God. As long as I am willing to
surrender to His authority, moment
by moment, He rules with such
wisdom, grace, and love that my
life flows, as a parent, as a student,
as a worker, and in all social situa
tions. Not surprising, considering
He is the source of life. T will never
be perfect, but having God as my
boss, has wrought miraculous re
sults in my children’s lives and
mine. God really does have all of
the answers for living this life.
He’s The Boss who is The Bomb\

Helped Make Our Dream Come True
When we decided to start looking
for our new home we called Shelia
to get approved. Being preapproved
really made buying a new home a
very pleasant experience. Shelia was
very knowledgeable about the mort

what we needed. And she really
helped us move into our new home.
