I was listening close this morning to a voice that seemed to be telling me what I needed to put on my blog this morning. I kept asking questions over and over in my mind, but could not quite get the drift. Then the mail came, and I knew immediately what I was suppose to post today. As I opened the large brown envelope addressed to 

Jean Sharp(Grandma)

Perryton, Texas 79070

The sender’s name was printed on a small black sticker with a white feather-like leaf (haven’t quite figured this one out yet), with words

I was taken “aback” for a few moments. I had never received a graduation card, ever, like this. The simple white post card  had only a few words.

I’M DONE!

Announcing the graduation of

Bailey Elizabeth Sharp

7:00 PM at UNT Superpit in Denton, TX

This senior could have had the most elaborate announcement card available anywhere, but she, being all original, chose to do her own. I am so proud of her genuine, true, positive nature, and her thoughtfulness of others. She is headed for the highest star in heaven. I love her so much, and wish her millions of happy days ahead.


Sometimes we think we have the right, “thought for today,” then something happens that makes us to know, we didn’t have what God wanted us to have. If we will wait upon the Lord, He will always give us that perfect message He wants us to deliver. I do not know the reason for this different kind of message today, but I trust God that it will be a blessing to someone. The times we are living in now are, to say the least, very different than have been for the past 75 years, and even since any of us can remember. Needless to say it is for the worse. Maybe God is calling out some of His most valuable  young people to counter-act the powerful, self-praised, idol worshipers who are needing to be hewn down. My prayer is that all Christians will lift up in prayer all the younger Christians who God is using to change this awful, sinful, and blasphemous nation. Only the power of God dwelling in these faithful, Jesus-believing followers can change a condemned world. How much do we love our children and grandchildren?  Enough to give all our time and support to those who are ever working to delete the evil that exists all around us and abroad?  We older ones will soon be gone, but what kind of legacy can we leave? All of the bible is legacy, and we here on earth can chose the part that has been proven to be good in the past. God leads His children to chose the right way, just as He did in bible times. I would ask that everyone who believes in Jesus would find a place of daily prayer offerings, and try with all your heart to turn this world around. There is no unfit in God’s way of thinking. He can turn a murderer of Christians into a great apostle like Paul in the gospels. Paul didn’t ask to be changed, but God changed him anyway.  How dare you to take a step of disapproving God. Some people’s actions suggest that they are disapproving God, but let them openly state it, and vow to stop others from believing in Him. To all brave, mocking giants, stand up and face the power of God sometimes found in even a little Sheppard boy. Demonstrate your bravery! But be warned, you cannot possible win!

God Bless
