"Jesus Is The Light Of The World"

The last day of 2019 and this is what I will remember all through the new year. 12-31-2019 Perryton, TX
 
It was so nice to wake up in my own bed this morning and seeing the sun wake up with me. I was not able to see the sunrise the two weeks I was gone because of tall trees and buildings. Home is the place I love most. However, I do appreciate the privilege, and the invitation along with loving kindness shown to me while I was gone. No greater blessing could one ask for. It always takes me a few days to get back in the groove after coming home from a lengthy trip, but I do finally get back. I must say again this Christmas vacation was a great one, and I thank everyone who helped make it that way. I am hoping for a very happy and blessed New Year also. I wish everyone else the same. I'm not making any New Year resolutions, but if I can just have another year as blessed as the past one I will be happy. Let me be clear though, I will try harder to be a better person. I realize I have lost some of my first love for Jesus. I may say I haven't but my actions say I have. That must change this year; age is no excuse. I also know I cannot do it by myself, I must trust God for that need in my life. I think I can already feel the change coming. After all our love for Jesus is the most important thing in our lives.
 

There will be no dinner at the Center tomorrow because it's the first day of the new year, but come Friday I plan to go, and keep going as much as possible. I have missed those dear friends more than I thought I would. I let too many other things get in the way during Thanksgiving, and Christmas. I missed a lot, and I know I missed a lot of Senior news. I am already learning of some bad things that happened while I was gone, and now I need to hear the good. I need most of all to stay prepared for any bad news that may come to me. Sometimes it may be a personal thing that could knock me off my rocker. I pray not, but wisdom is never too weak to think nothing bad can happen to us, or ours. I admire a mother friend of mine who lost a son unexpectedly, I believe on Christmas day. Not an accident, but gone just the same. He supposedly had pneumonia, and had been sick a few days, but wouldn't go to the doctor. This mother was talking to him about accepting the Lord. She believed he did, and is now able to rejoice instead of grieve. What a wonderful Christian mother she is. She was prepared, thank God. I am still grieving for her, but she would not want that of me. God help me to have that kind of courage.

God Bless

"A 2019 Christmas has been my best ever"

        One of my many Christmas gifts from family and friends. 12-30-2019 Perryton, TX
 

I returned to my Heaven on earth yesterday at 2:30 p m. I was gone 12 days, but had enough fun, and excitement to last me a year. I was with my son, and family Christmas night when the gifts were opened. I was greatly blessed with this keyboard and holder for my I-pad. I also opened many other gifts from family and friends. Obviously I had a wonderful Christmas. During my time there I was treated to a great fish dinner at one of the most patronized eating places in Denison, Texas. It served the most delicious fish, and baked potato with scrumptious cold slaw, and hush puppies that I had ever eaten. The large place was crowded with dinners. I long to go there again. The family also ate lunch at a well attended family Cafe in Denison. Both of these places made me need carry-out boxes. Such a large serving of everything.


A very touching, lengthy event we attended was the Candle Light Service at a large Methodist church in Sherman, Texas. This event happened the Sunday evening before Christmas. The sanctuary was at full capacity which is to say several hundred worshipers took part. The service was somewhat different than the ones I attend at my First Christmas Church, but the reason for the season was the same. People were there to celebrate Christ's birthday. This morning I had to be reminded just how fortunate we were at this big crowded church after I heard the horrible news of a church in Fort Worth, Texas just a short distance from where we were worshiping, being attacked by a gunman yesterday. The shooter killed two people, and injured more before being shot and killed by a patron who had a gun with him. All Christians are now being attacked by Christ haters, just like our President Trump is being attacked for trying to protect the Christians. This Great America that was founded by Christian, super powerful men that dedicated their whole life for His cause, has been slothful, and mockers of their effort, far too long. “What-so-ever a nation sows that must it reap.” The good has to suffer along with the bad, because that is how our God wisely created the world. We will understand that decision later on. Changes are being made daily. and nothing the people can do can stop them. We must depend upon the Word of God to guide us through these perilous times. He was our Savior in the beginning, and He will be our Savior to the ending. Not man, not technology, not scientist, or any drug ever will take the place of God. “Stay sober, and face the consequences of our own mistakes.” Not word for word, but the meaning from God's own Word. He will lead us through if we fully trust Him, and not man. Our life still has meaning or we would not still be here. May you all have a Happy and Blessed New Year.

God Bless

Christmas at Kent and Angela’s house


Dinner at my son’s house on Christmas Day.  Wonderful steak dinner. 

My Test Blog




This is the first test blog I am testing with my new IPad I won in Guymon, OK.  It is taking me a little bit to learn all of the new technology.  I do like the idea that I can take pictures with my IPad and directly load them to my new blog posts.  Hurray!

"Fun Things Don't Come Easy"

Packing season last for 4 days, and I use every day of it. Hope I don't forget something. 12-14-2019 Perryton, TX
I have spent most of today packing, and getting ready for a two week Christmas vacation. It's not one of my favorite things to do, although I love taking vacations. I had some mending to do as well as washing and pressing some of my clothing. Then I spend hours looking for some of my jeans that I wear a lot, After going through six closets time, and time again I still have not found them. I have two white sweaters that have been missing for a year, so I have decided I must have left them in a motel. Also a pair of my favorite boots missing for a long time. It is a hassle to keep up with everything when you are using two or three pieces of luggage besides all the little bags with things not considered clothing, but things of necessity. Then there's the carry around coats or sweaters that I might need when going to the casino. Is it any wonder I lose stuff? I always get things done, but it takes me much longer than I used to take. One thing for sure I'm not over working my old body. I now have an excuse for taking my time to do things. I call it my golden pay-back for all the years I did hustle, and bustle to get all the things done I had to do. My loving children are more than thankful for a mother who raised them to work hard, and reach for the moon. They are still reaching, but no doubt they will hang it before they get to old to reach. I love seeing my children blessed so much.


I will be leaving next Wednesday morning for Norman, Oklahoma. I will spend two nights there before my son will be coming to pick me up and tale me to his house in Sherman, Texas till New Year's Eve. Those days with my son, and his family are going to be an exciting time. They have a lot to share with their loved ones because God has been so good to them. My plans now are to spend New Year;s Eve in Clinton, Oklahoma on my way back home. I have spent New Year's Eve there for several years except for one or two. They always have a roaring time at the Lucky Star Casino there. To some of my family, Radonda, Jerry, or any others, I would like to see you there. My number is 806 202 0329. I expect to be there around five New Year's Eve. I am ready to say good-bye to 2019 and hello to 2020. I have had a good past year, but am expecting even a better one next year. Hope everyone can say the same. I know some have lost precious loved ones, but think about how blessed they are now that they have entered into a better place never to suffer again. We must think positive or we would not be able to keep up the pace of living on until our time to be called home. God is with us every day if we will let Him be.

"Why Did God Create Demons"

I missed it at first but not before it left us. 7:30 a.m. and I happened to look out my kitchen window just in time. "How Beautiful Heaven Must Be." 12-12-2019 Perryton, TX
 
I did not stay up late last night to see the full moon, but I was up this morning at 7:30 and took this picture of it just as it was going down. It was an awesome moon, and it gave me inspiration for the day as I was preparing to watch the disheartening debate of the articles of impeachment against our President. I never thought I would ever see such unwarranted abuse given to an American President who has within three years brought the country back to decency, and respect. Almighty God has taken center stage in this disgraceful debacle of the Democrat party. He, the Creator of all things has had enough, I believe, and is about to turn the tables on this no-good party. In the mean time every Christian American needs to stay on their knees praying for our President to keep the faith, and stay strong, and protected. I don't know how much longer God is going to allow this ridiculous, non-sense to go on, but I dare say when He does lower the hammer it is going to come down hard. Let them rave on, because they are showing more, and more stupidity every day. We, the Christians, will not be defeated by these evil demons. God's Word is true, and He has always come to the rescue of His people. However, that does not mean we can ignore the fact that our country is under attack by this evil enemy. We absolutely must join forces with all Christians, and prove our faith in Him, Any who refuse to be counted with the Christian believers will not be excused from doing nothing. The Lord said, “either you are with me or against me.” No one can ride the fence regardless of your desire to stay neutral for any reason. Thank God for the strength He gives those who dare to speak out for Him. This Civil war, although it has not officially been declared yet, is as obvious as the noise on your face. It is the war of good against evil. God has put us to the test, and I think it's about time.


So I have been involved all day long in watching the debate, even though it is just a constant repeat. I, along with millions of others are so fed up with stupidity till we are turning off the television, and spending that time praying. We know what it's all about, and no need to keep hoping that the evil demons somehow change their spirit. I feel completely at peace to turn them over to God for judgment. There does come a time whether it's friends, family, or other, we must give them up. God will give us peace over the awful hurt we go through. I am already feeling that peace after years of hoping, and praying for a change of life for many. We just have to trust God because He is the last straw so to speak.

"Sleeping On Time That Guides My Day"

Time to get up. Lots of comments are fixing to be heard about the impeachment hearings. 12-8-2019 Perryton. TX
 
Sunday morning 7 o'clock time to get up and start another day. Just one more night, and I get to watch the impeachment hearings again, and wait for the IG report to be published. It's going to be exciting, and I'm out of popcorn. Will just have to do a lot of drinking coffee, tea, and lemonade. Except that will make me have to go to the bathroom more, and I don't want to leave the television only when the hearings take a break. These hearings have been the most exciting drama I've heard in years. Whoever thought this one up is a genus idiot, but it makes for a good movie. One of a kind indeed. However, it may continue to be playing for a long time yet. It's like every day they think of something new to keep it going. I'm sure glad it's free or I would be broke by now. I have made a lot of predictions about this series of events, and I'm so anxious to see If I have gotten any of them right. God help us if I haven't been right about most of them. So now the clock is counting down, and I really don't want to go to bed tonight. I sleep with my cell phone under my pillow so I can watch the time closely. I'm afraid I might miss read the red numbers on the clock that sits on my chest of drawers several feet away. I definitely don't want to over sleep.


The fact is I've been up today for several hours, but I did take this picture of the time before I crawled out of bed this morning. I ate breakfast, made dinner, and worked some on my fun project before I started writing this blog. I just need to have it posted by 6 o'clock p. m. I still have a couple of hours to finish. Since this is Sunday there is not much to write about. All the news has been directed to the past week of political ups and downs. I'm tired of that, and ready to hear some new stuff. I think I am going to be upset over Lindsay Graham's draw back on making those lying, evil, democrats face up to their crimes. I understood him to say today he just wanted the President to be exonerated, and then go on with the business of running our country. He said the ridiculous stuff that has been going on is tearing our country apart. Well true Senator Graham, but the damage has already been done. Are you willing to forget that, and let those idiots continue to fight our elected President? Sir, I'm beginning to think you are one of the RINO's. “Republican in name only.” We may have to vote you out also. You have already lost the confidence of many republicans. Be careful there sir, your time is coming if you let the people down who voted for you. We need to hold every one of these traitors accountable for what they've done to our country. You better see that it is done.

"A Picture For The Cat Catcher"

                             The determined cat who just won't give up. 12-7-2019 Perryton, TX
My temper has been tested a lot lately. Today this cat came back in my yard after I forbid her to never come back. I fear she will have babies in my storage house, and I can't close her out for fear she may already have some there. I hadn't noticed a small hole that I had put a little board over had fallen off, and when I noticed it this cat came flying out of the room. I knew if I closed her out, and she had babies in there they would die and stink badly. I yelled at her and I'm sure she knew what I meant. She ran like a streak of lightening out of my yard. I was about ready to close off the hole again when my son-in-law opened the door to get a rake, and that cat came flying out again. He though it looked like she may be a new mother, so again I decided to wait a few more days to close up the hole. I do not want a litter of cats to have to deal with because I have been through that before, neither do I want dead kittens in my storage room, especially if I am the cause of their death. Today when I stepped out my front door the mother cat was nestled up against the house trying to hide from me. She probably thought the guy who didn't yell at her had moved here, and she could be free to stay in sight. Again I let her know I still lived here. I am sure not to ever leave a bite of food for her to eat. Some neighbor is feeding her because she is very fat. Why don't she stay in their yard instead of mine? I've made up my mind to close her out babies or not. If you are wondering why I don't look for kittens, that room is stacked to the ceiling with everything you can imagine. I would have to hire someone to unload, and reload it if I did that. My only thought to solve the problem is to call animal control, and let them catch her and take her away. I had to do this once before at my son's house. He had cats under his house on top of his house, seriously, and all over the place. When he went into the hospital I called animal control, and it took them several days to catch all the cats, but I haven't seen one once, and that's been several years ago. All of those cats got started from one cat. It's not that I don't like cats, but I don't want to be their keeper. In the mean time I will pray for patience, and wisdom to deal with the problem.

"A Prediction By Me Myrtle Jean Sharp"

An older picture, but the same positive attitude. Your's tryly Myrtle Jean Sharp 12-6-2019 Perryton, TX
 

If you are looking at my photo at this time you can see just how positive I feel that President Trump will be exonerated from this unjustified impeachment accusation. God does not start a war against evil then let His President down. The battle is raging, yes indeed. The President is being crucified, and the people are taking stones coming from every direction, but in the end America will be set free from all the filth that brought it down. I just don't think I am wrong in declaring this victory already. I do not know how long it will take, but I do know every last demon of hate, and jealously will be piled up in heaps. God's Word does not lie. I see President Trump growing stronger by the day. I have been a strong supporter of him from the first day I heard his announcement for a candidate to the presidency. I never felt fearful that he would not win. Several of my family, and friends can swear to that. Because of his great ability to make America shine like the Eastern Star, the evil doers of the land are fighting for their sin to stay covered up. It is not going to happen. I personally have been attacked by evil, only not in the natural, but in the spirit. At least three times I have been awakened by an evil spirit that tried to weaken my faith. My bible tells me that all Christ followers have experienced such. It is in times like this that our faith increases if we are true believers of God. It make take a few days, but the positive attitude will come back. I have never been more positive, although I cannot say I will not be tested again. My hope, and faith is that I will be faithful to the end, just like our President is doing. Jesus paid the price, and I believe the just shall live by faith.


This next week is going to be an exciting time of seeing a fight in action like never before. I'm not saying it will all be over, but I am saying the demons are ready to kill except they cannot make it stick. I fear for some who are at this time on our President's side, but will not hold true to their first convictions. They too are guilty of things that they don't want uncovered. That is the reason some of which should have been on President Trump's side pulled away in the very beginning. Fear of this God chosen man made them join forces against him. If only people would have believed the bible when it stated that “your sins will find you out.” We are seeing that happen every day now, and I am praising God for his promises. I too am a sinner saved by grace, but thank God I found the truth before I ventured too far out in that sin. Somehow I hope everyone manages to stay in the court room while this murder trial is going on. You can always find me there.

"Sunlight In My Soul"

My good morning welcome voice. I love to hear it when I hit the floor every morning. 12-3-2019 Perryton, TX
 

Early in the morning this is what the eastern skies look like from my front porch. The sun is almost in sight, but it's beautiful rays of light don't wait on the sun's face. A sight like this gets me ready for a blessed, and happy day. My night of darkness was too much to not want some sunshine as early as possible. I can walk in the light, but not in darkness. At the end of each day I recall all of the blessings I have received. I thank God for them all. A new day seems to prepare me for another, and another. I cannot think of not having another blessed day, and that in it's self is a blessing. However, I will admit that early in the evening the recliner is my best part of the day. It rests my tired body, and allows me to be entertained for hours while watching television. I cannot say that all through the day, and even the night, I do not think about those who are less blessed than I. I will always lift them up in my prayers. I will also do anything I can physically to make them more cheerful. I believe our God demands that of us. It always makes me feel proud when I can help someone along their troublesome way. Sometimes it doesn't take much to give a handicapped person a lot of encouragement. Just to let them know you are thinking of them will bring loads of joy to their heart.


I did a good bit of muscle work today cleaning my son's house, and I feel so good even with an aching back. My day was not wasted, and was even appreciated. Others see our good works, and glorify our Father in Heaven. That is those who are not receiving the benefits of our labor, ha ha. My son has very good neighbors in that they offer to help me anyway they can. Plus they do so often show that they mean it. Thank God for Godly neighbors. I have found that I can also be of help to them without much effort. That is the way the Great Creator fashioned this big world. Only those who have never believed in Him are the ones most greedy, and think only of themselves. They are to be pitied, because they know not what they do. This is according to the Christian, Stephen, of the bible as he spoke unto God. Stephen was stoned to death by those unbelievers, but Stephen died praying this prayer to God. How short are we falling from Stephens act? More than I like to be made aware of. I'm not saying only those like Stephen are going to heaven. I believe God made warriors to fight for His perfect creation, and we are now involved in that battle. The mountain height of evil has got to be fought, because the Heavens will not be open to let it in. It must be destroyed here on earth, because God has already prepared a place for all evil doers. It's called HELL. God Bless our President Trump, and all of his followers.

"Is It Slave Blood Nay Just Poor Timing"

A bit of blood is nothing compared with the good feeling I have of getting these tall asparagus stalks cut down. 12-2-2019 Perryton, TX
 
Not without a little blood shed, but I did manage to get the tall, dead asparagus stalks cut down. Nothing more than a cholesterol check. If I had of put on gloves I would not be having to give myself another manicure tonight. But I was in a hurry to get these tall stalks cut down. It will do till next spring then I will finish the job. I piled the cut stalks on top of the bed so the freeze won't kill the roots this winter. I'm gaining on this laziness every day. Although I do have to fight it because it seems so nice to recline and watch television. I do know that is a trick of the enemy also so I'm not giving into that either. One day at a time sweet Jesus that's all I'm asking of You. My favorite song. I'm amazed that I'm caught up on all of my essential duties at this time. Of course I can always find something else to do. I'm a little anxious to get this year over with and start a new one.


I did miss the luncheon at the Center today. I just wasn't ready for more bird in any shape or form. I made Chuck, and I a tater tot casserole that my daughter had bought the ingredients for, and given me the recipe. It was delicious, and it made a very large pan full. I can afford to gain a few more pounds since I only gained one through Thanksgiving. I must not forget Christmas coming up. I will be eating someone else's cooking, and that is always a weight without control problem for me.


This week is packed full of political news both good, and bad. In one week the IG report will be out, and it is suppose to be hell on earth when it hits the news, I believe we will be finding out just how much the American Justice System has deteriorated. If nothing happens to punish those who criminalized our law, then I say that is the last straw for America. We all will be living in hell on earth the rest of our lives, even more than we already are. The Father of this creation will no longer allow the evil doers to continue to trash His creation. The last battle, I believe, will begin right away. It will be the worst ever to be fought. I am thinking that the evil doers will never give up until death takes them. A sad thought, but some just won't ever give up their greed for money, and power, For those who don't believe what I'm saying read the Epistle of James chapter 5. This is for the Christians, and not for the Old Testament law under Moses. It speaks in plain words for the damned who have been guilty of what we are facing today. I see no place for redemption for those guilty of such crimes.

"Carving The Turkey"

               Roasted turkey, and dressing for Thanksgiving dinner. 12-1-2019 Perryton, TX
 

After today no more turkey and dressing. I'm taking the bones to the alley for the cats to eat. We did enjoy three days of the rich dressing made from the turkey broth. The baked turkey was juicy, and cooked to the perfectly done stage. With all the other side dishes we had a wonderful Thanksgiving dinner. With all the food, and the company of my children I am ready to shout for glory. In just two weeks I will again be celebrating yet another big holiday with some more of my children. An exciting time to look forward to. This year is ending for me with much pleasure. More so than I've had in several years. I am expecting a lot of good things to happen in the New Year of 2020. I hope I can help someone else to be happy also. In these days, and times, many people are struggling with life, since our country has been under attack for so long. I must say God will never leave, nor forsake us as He has promised in His Word. He even tells us “we have not because we ask not.” What more could we ask for? “Ask and ye shall receive.” I ask my Heavenly Father every night for peace, joy, and happiness, and that He so freely gives me. We all are on our way to a blessed resting place that Jesus has prepared for us. May we never doubt that.


Since I'm so full uf turkey, and the like, I am not excited about going to the Center tomorrow to eat chicken, and noodles. I had planned to go and share all my Thanksgiving blessings until I read in the paper what we would be having for lunch. I will decide by morning if I will go on and share anyway. Good times are not just about good food, although it sure helps. I just hate to pay my money for an hour or so just to shoot the breeze. However, sometimes it's worth it. I really thought the chickens should be left to roost for awhile, and bring out the beans, and cornbread. The truth is I should be skipping a few meals completely for awhile. I am overstocked, but not ready to stop adding on.


I am anxious for the big week to start up tomorrow. Again we will be glued to the television as if the world was about to end. Something has just got to end this ridiculous impeachment thing, and let our President do his job. The time has come for all nonsense to end. The guilty have been fighting to hide their guilt long enough. It's time to make them pay for their crimes. But for awhile yet the fight will continue, and when God has had enough the battle will end in the Christians favor. I plan to watch till the battle is over.


God Bless

"An Early Christmas Present"

My name was drawn for this Apple I Pad at the casino. Nice Christmas present. 11-30-2019 Perryton, TX
I lucked out yesterday at the Golden Mesa Casino and had my name drawn for an Apple I pad. I'll be in another learning session now forever. I don't catch on to this new technology quickly. However, I will have a good instructor whenever he can manage to come and teach me from Sherman, Texas. My son, Kent, is ready to load my brain with impossible knowledge of working the latest of instruments of technology. I want to know how, but I don't have the patience to learn. He thinks I won't have any trouble so I believe him. I sometimes wonder if I will be on this planet long enough to take a trip to the moon. Things keeps changing faster than my age. I don't have much trouble learning how to put bills into the slot machines, but I can't figure out how to get them back. However, I did bring home more money yesterday than I took, plus a $300 I Pad. Myself, and my daughter, and son-in-law had the time of our life. We are ready to do it again, but it won't be possible till next spring. Our daily duties still come first.


I just saw my children off a few hours ago. They are traveling home at this time. I am feeling a little lonely, but still am excited about the good Thanksgiving I had with them. The weather was pleasant most of the time. These kids even raked, and sacked five large bags of leaves from my yard. I'm so thankful for that since I cannot do much muscle work any more. In a little over two weeks I will be heading to my son's house in Sherman, Texas for the Christmas holidays. I am excited about this part of my good year of 2019. God has been so good to me, and I can't thank Him enough. I will be welcoming the New Year with a planned over night stay at the Lucky Star Casino in Clinton, Oklahoma. I have celebrated at this place several times, and it is always a fun time to welcome the New Year. I meet several of my long time friends there which is always enjoyable. New Year's Day I will be headed home to start another good year. I hope it will even be better than the past year. Every year that has passed since my husband's death has been better than the last. The healing has been slow, but sure. On January 19, 2020 it will have been seven years since he left us. Although I see him in my dreams real often. I try hard to not think about the many years we had together, but that is an impossible wish. I am living with the one-half of the One, God made us into at the marriage ceremony. I still have the one-half of each of his children, and that makes up the whole. How could anyone wish for more than that?

"After Thanksgiving"

Christmas tree at Golden Mesa Casino. Jean Sharp with Rhonda and Randy Twilligear 11-29-2019 Perryton, TX

Today, the day after we ate a big turkey dinner, we left early this morning to go to the Golden Mesa Casino in Guymon, Oklahoma. It was a fun time for us, and we all came away feeling pretty lucky. I can't tell you how happy I feel tonight after being with my daughter, and son-in-law for three days. They have been a real blessing, but will be leaving for home tomorrow. We had so much food till we still have a lot of left overs in the frig. I will miss these sweet children much, but am so thankful for the time I got to spend with them. Christmas is the next big event I'm looking forward to, and it is just around the corner. I will be spending several days with my son, and daughter-in-law in Sherman, Texas. My son will meet me in Norman, Oklahoma on the 20th of December after I have spent two nights there at the Riverwind Casino. I will be there on the 18th, and 19th. Here's hoping some of my family can come and see me there for awhile. I always love staying with my youngest son, and his wife, and am treated like a Queen Mother. I do expect to see their two sweet children also. If nothing changes the plans are for me to meet my daughter-in-law's mother there for the first time. This past year has gone by fast, and I have had a good one.


The reason you haven't seen my blogs the past few days is because of my company, and I wanted to spend every minute with them because I don't get to see them very often. I may still be missing some more days of writing because I do have a lot to do to prepare for the Christmas vacation. After the first of the year I expect everything to get back to normal. I'm sure the war will continue between the left, and the right, and I am set for a long, hard battle of helping to clean the swamp. The year of 2020 will be a historical year like nothing we've seen before according to my way of thinking. At this point I don't think I will be leaving my television set for very long at a time. My country, and my God comes first in my life, and I want to know exactly which ones are going against them. I don't want to offer a cup of water to the wrong crowd. I want it to be known exactly who I stand for. I know that one minute I sound positive, and the next minute I sound negative, but I am human, and God made us that way. He prefers to test us from time to time. Unless we stay on our knees, and read His Word daily we will definitely be defeated. The slack between these two positives is when we began to have a fear of losing our faith. Never go long without talking to God about our problems.


God Bless

Jean's Comment's: "Thank You Vine For Being So Kind"

"Thank You Vine For Being So Kind"

This vine will not die because it knows I am still watching it. It will give me fresh berries again next spring. 11-24-2019 Perryton, TX

I appreciate this blackberry vine hanging onto dear life when every one of the other plants have long been dead. It stretches across my fence for about 10 or 12 feet. It has such pretty color although it doesn't show in the camera. I think it was because it was in the shade when I took the picture. Fall is not my favorite season even though I dislike winter the worst. When I was a child it didn't matter what season it was I liked them all. Funny how age can change a person's attitude. I haven't seen a lot of other change in my life except I don't have the flexibility I use to have. Sometimes when I bend over I can't straighten back up. I have learned to deal with it, and have just stopped bending over, I squat instead. As long as that is the only thing that slows me down I'm always good to go. It really doesn't bother me if I have to let things go undone. I don't have to have everything perfect as I learned that quite some time ago. I understand my bible to say someday after this life is over, we will live in a perfect world where no pain, nor worry exists. I can wait for that day.


I have a thousand other things to be thankful for. Jesus is my best friend, and He is the King of all Kings. He is with me every minute of my life. If I cry He immediately cheers me up. If I ask for something He always gives it to me. If I don't respect Him, and act like I don't need Him, He will answer that prayer also and walk away. That will never happen in my life. Only a fool would do such a thing as that. Jesus speaks to me every day through His Holy Word. His Word is the living Word, and as many times as I have read the bible through I still read something that I don't remember reading before when I have my bible reading every night. I have many scriptures high lighted in my bible. When I come across them now I wonder why I marked them long ago. I don't see anything about them now that would make me think they are keepers in my heart, although all scriptures should be keepers. I just know that when I high lighter a scripture it was a message to me that I needed badly at the time. It was a direct answer to a prayer I had given to God. So as I noticed the colorful, but lively leaves on this long blackberry vine today, I can relate to it because I too am colorful, lively, running over with long, growing ideas, and enjoying every minute of my life. And like the blackberry vine I should be dead, but not so, I am still very much alive.


God Bless

"A Bird Of A Feather Without A Flock To Gather"

Pretty colors not showing in picture. This bird looks like a captain with a hat on. But it's only a bird. 11-23-2019 Perryton, TX
It's time to talk about the birds, and the bee's for a change. I am so tired of trying to work out the world's problems from my recliner. I'm starting today to prepare for Thanksgiving next week. I will be having company, and I'm excited. Thank goodness the House Intelligence Committee has taken two weeks off for Thanksgiving, so now I can have two weeks to think about something else. I am even tired of hearing all the opinions of so many pro's and con's till I am glad I have something else to interest me for awhile. No doubt my family is going to have a great time together when we gather for Thanksgiving. I love to cook, and am very excited about preparing lots of good food to last us for several days. The turkey, and the pig will both be sitting on our table. I saw a cartoon today of a big fat pig. It said “I'm so glad I'm not a turkey.: Ham is always a second choice for meat on holidays.


When I stepped outside awhile ago I was surprised to feel the nice warm sun after the light snow we had last night. Today is such a beautiful one, I have to wonder what's going on with Mr. Weather Maker. I so hope he lets it continue until after the holidays. My company will be traveling long distances. I also heard on the news today that five million travelers will be either driving, or flying this year for the holidays. They also said that was the most that's ever been recorded. Sounds like the world is becoming overly populated. My first attention when I stepped outside was this pretty bird so gracelessly perched in a tree. It was a pretty sight just to watch for a few minutes. I think it was waiting for a girlfriend to join him, but I didn't fit it's fancy. He flew away when I started walking closer to him. That's o k, I wanted a real boyfriend also. Time must be running out, because I have not even been impressed at all with the many single men I meet every day of my life. I think they are like me, they like their freedom, except the ones who are still married, and they sure do not interest me. I never guessed single life could be so peaceful, because I was married to the same man for 63 years. He loved me dearly, and I loved him, but when it was all said, and done, he was the boss of the house. Now I am my own boss. Only I do need someone to tell me what I want to do when I can't make up my mind. I'm sure God knew what He was doing when He created man, then took a rib from him, and created woman. Yes, the man came first, but with instructions to treat his wife with love. Sorry to hear today that gender is being changed so one never knows what they are dealing with when it comes to male, and female. I am thankful I have lived long enough till I won't be troubled with that reality long.

"From The Bed To The Battlefield"

A fighter protected by the Heavenly Giant, is partly showing her face. She is cheering the brave fighters on. 11-20-2019 Perryton. TX

I just crawled out of bed this morning, turned the coffee pot on, and headed to my recliner. The House Intelligence Hearings were to start shortly. In spite of the exciting Thanksgiving dinner at the Center today, I could not miss these hearings. It was a hard decision to make, but I absolutely am that involved in my country. The hearings have finally adjourned for the day, but the demons are still at work to destroy our country. I witnessed a man on trial today, Ambassador Sondlard, being drilled to the core by both parties. No human should have to go through such torture as he did. However, it finally become clear that the Ambassador was determined to keep the House members, and the audience in the dark about his true wishes, as far as being for, or against the President. After hours of listening to his testimony I came to the conclusion that he was against the President however, the House Majority was not satisfied with everything they heard. This poor witness went through more torture than most people could have endure. But, I have to say I would have been upset also with the refusal to answer the questions clearly. He had a way of dodging the questions with what he called presumptions. Yet he left the impression that he favored the Resistance. He just made sure his testimony could not free, or convict the President. I wish I could say I know the reason, but I will keep trying to unravel this mystery.


I will again say I believe we have a man of God in the White House, and no man, or woman, are going to take him down, but in the mean time we are seeing the devil at his best effort trying to do so. The people against President Trump have already sold out their inheritance to Satan. They are now fighting to keep themselves out of prison as well as the millions they got from hard working American tax payers. They have no conscience, so long as they can stay out of prison, and keep sending others, who have done much less wrong than they, in their place. I hope I live long enough to see all these evil demons have to suffer their consequences. I am not a hardhearted person, but I do have deep feelings for true, innocent Christian followers being wrongly demonized. They are crucifying Jesus all over again, which God the Father, will not allow. In any war good people are killed, but those fighting evil will reap a great reward, while the other fighters will go down in the pit. Those are exact words coming from God's Holy Bible, and I wish more people would be more knowledgeable of the most powerful truth in the world. As I took advantage of my greatly, blessed life this morning, I am thankful for giving up my pleasure for a more important event taking place that affects the entire world.

"Wishful Thinking Today"

Oops! I need a bigger tree. probably one too big to get in the house. 11-18-2019 Perryton. TX
 

Well I had another creative idea to hit me today. I have three jewelry chest, and a few plastic bowls that I keep my jewelry in. but I always had to search for some time to decide which pieces I wanted to wear. I was always disgusted about searching through every tray, box, dish, and some that I had hanging on a tiny nail on the wall. I have a long dresser so I had just lined up many necklaces with matching ear rings across the top of the dresser. When my daughter-in-law came to see me she was going to clean my bedroom, but she didn't know what to do with all the jewelry so she could dust. This morning I was determined to find a way to display my stuff without waiting to go out of town to find something to use for this purpose. I knew we had no place here that was suitable for that need. Oh! I thought. I will go out and cut a branch of the dead trees, and glue it to a solid foundation, then spray paint it gold. I had the glue, and paint, and I found the perfect base to glue the branch to. I would be hanging all my jewelry on that tree branch and placing the ear rings on the base. I am posting my perfect idea for a disgruntled, hard to satisfy, lady when getting ready to go out. That is just one of the things I am in need of to get things off the floor, and where I can see them without unpacking the entire pile, such as my dozen's of purses stacked in a corner. And dozens of pairs of shoes, and boots that pile high in the bottom of a closet. The top shelf is filled, and I had to start throwing them on the floor. Now it's hard to find both shoes, or boots that match. I am not a person that will get rid of something I have liked even though I may not use some of them but once a year or two. I used to give my favorite cloths away, then years later I wished I still had them. It's not that I couldn't do better since I have six closets, but I just don't like going to the trouble of keeping everything in order. I hate to admit it, but I'm glad I won't be here when my kids come to clean out my house after I leave this world. I feel sorry for them.


Just the same I am one happy, thankful, person for all the blessings God has given me, and the love I have for being me, and nobody else. I still use my creative mind every day. I don't crave money, travel, fame, or have any desire to be close friends with those who do. I just want to think things out, and put my remaining strength on things to keep me one of a kind. I believe, according to God's word, that's what we all should want.

"Gobble Gobble The Turksy Speaks"

                              Happy  turkey day. Says this fat turkey. 11-17-2019 Perryton, TX

I don't know about everyone else, but I am so ready for Thanksgiving. So far this season I haven't had turkey and dressing yet. However, this coming Wednesday we will be served the full Thanksgiving dinner at the Senior Citizen's Center. We have very good cooks there, and I am so anxious to indulge in the delicious food the cooks will prepare. Then on Thanksgiving day I will be cooking the traditional Thanksgiving dinner for some of my children who are coming to share the holiday with me. I took this picture of a turkey my neighbor always places in her yard every thanksgiving season. It makes me laugh, and actually makes me feel sorry for the turkeys. But God gave us meat to keep our bodies strong, and healthy. That is not a joke, although we like to make jokes out of almost anything God has given us. We need the laughs as mush as we need the meat.

I have been real busy again today, and yesterday too. Just can't seem to crowd all the things in that I usually do in a day. I'm sure it's because of all the ridiculous news the impeachment hearings are making, but even though they are nonsense it still keeps us on our toes because we are living in such evil times. Anything can happen to destroy America, although most of us believe God will not let that happen. It will be only by His mercy if we regain our laws, and get to keep our Constitution. As far me I am taking every day very seriously, and would not feel honorable to God, and our country otherwise. We all have a part to play in this evil world, and I will always be on guard against lies, and deceit. I will be watching every trial, or investigation, that is open to the public as long as it takes to win this battle against evil.

Again I am running out of time so I must cut this short, and get it posted. Although I will say my country, and our President comes first. I will never let them down, even though I have to miss my blogs that I've been writing for several years. I have a host of viewers, and I'm thankful that I can share my thoughts, and some people read them faithfully. I count that as one of the things I do for God, and country. But if I can't stay informed on the latest happenings I have nothing to write about.

"Thank God For President Trump"

I painted this portrait before President Trump became President. I knew he would be elected. 11-15-2019 Perryton, TX
 

I think I know now why face book would not post the picture with my blog a day ago. It was a picture of Adam Schiff that I had taken from the television. Adam Schiff is the Chairman of The House Intelligence Committee, and I believe face book stopped allowing political pictures to be posted any longer. However, I painted this picture I'm posting today of Donald Trump. I own it. And as far as I know freedom of speech is still being allowed. That is we have the right to express our opinion as long as it is not name calling, and exciting violence.


I am saying President Trump was a winner again today in the House Intelligence Hearings. I was privileged to watch the entire hearing this morning, but will not be allowed to see the rest of the hearings since they are ruled by the Democrats, and they chose to have closed door meetings this evening. They know they cannot win a fair and square election so they are trying to keep the people from seeing all of their ignorance. This flood of evil politicians have been clubbing our good President, and his supporters long enough. Three years, and a little over. It's time to put them to rest. Our President is doing more than anyone else to drain the swamp, even though some have been unfairly put in jail for fighting with him. The evils have not been successful yet in putting our President there, because he is so much smarter than any Democrat. He has been winning for over three years, and he has just begun. Every attempt these Democrats have made have failed, and they will keep failing. They actually believe they can conquer God Almighty. I believe their minds have been blocked from the truth, or else they think God is no match for them. 


If this world-wide fight gets any tougher I may have to miss all the other things I enjoy doing, and give my full attention to the News Media. It is more important than having fun. As long as we, the American People, are under attack I will send up prayers day and night. Prayer is the best weapon many of us older citizens have. It works, and we can see the proof every day. Our freedom of speech is under attack, as well as our laws, and those who try to enforce them. Many of United States Citizens have died for the cause of doing their job. Yes indeed this war is furious, and very real. It's as close as our back yards. We must prepare because the flames are growing in every direction. Everyone of God's children are at risk. We need to even prepare our children, because this wicked beast is out to kill every Godly person no matter if it's adults or children. I know this is not a love story, but it is an important warning. Take heed before it's too late.

"Another Sunshine Day"

                   The rays of light are still shinning in my soul. 11-14-2019 Perryton, TX
 

So after several days of way below freezing we get this beautiful, sunny, warm day today. November 14, and summer like weather. It just so happened I had a lot to do today, and couldn't work in my yard. Hoping for another nice day tomorrow. I did my son's house work today. Went to the grocery store, then to another store for things I couldn't get at the grocery store, so it has been a busy day for me. I couldn't risk the chance of maybe another freezing day tomorrow. I had to buy a lot of things that was important right now. I had waited several days for a nicer time to go shopping, so I had to make it happen today. I am grateful that I got to watch the House Impeachment Hearings yesterday. I spent most of the day sitting in front of the television. I don't have to take someone else's opinion, I have my own. It was the biggest joke I had ever heard. Poor Democrats have lost everything they ever had in the way of respect. I wonder if our Congress is coming to a non Democrat party in the very near future. Of course there will always be the crazies as long as there is life on earth. I have to love them in spite of their foolish ways. There is always hope for change.


It's too late in the evening for me to get my word quota today, so I will have to make this short before my time is up. I try hard not to miss a single day of posting something, but there are a few days I just have to miss. My mind is always full of thoughts, but it takes a lot of time to get them on the computer. On top of that there are a lot of times my computer is so slow I lose a lot of time waiting on it. I am still in the business, and everything is going great for me. Looking forward to Thanksgiving, and spending time with my children.

"Did I See The Whistle Blower Today"

Wow! These eyes are neither impressive, nor depressive. They are suspicious to say the least. 11-13-2019 Perryton, TX
What a wasted day! I sat from 9 o'clock this morning till 2;30 this afternoon watching the House Impeachment Hearings only to say it was a waste of time. The chairman of this committee, Adam Schiff, looked like he was scared to death. His eyes looked like two black basketballs in a tub of milk. He may not be scared, but it would scare most people to look at him. His eyes look vicious. Even though I feel like I wasted my day, I would do it again. I want to see, and hear every word that is spoken against President Trump. I think I might have seen the whistle blower talking today. I can't wait to find out for sure, but I would almost place a bet on it. Although, it is not a real whistle blower as Adam Schiff declared. It is only a person whom President Trump trusted, and appointed to the position of Ambassador to Ukraine. I believe this person, who was the key witness for the House Hearings today, had in mind all along to help impeach the President. He was part of the coup, along with several, “Never Trumper's,” who got themselves removed in just a short time after being appointed. The swamp continues to be drained. Our President continues to grow stronger, and wiser. The Democrats continue to show their ignorance, and are becoming more dangerous to America by the day.


I fully believe the fight the Democrats are so viciously involved in today is to save their own butts. They know the evidence has been collected, and now all they can do is try to kill the intelligent lawyers who are loaded for bear. They have seen that the big majority of American, Trump voters is growing every day. Their lawless, and evil tricks have been found out. They have nothing left to do now but think of more lies, and hope that somehow a Giant Mocker will happen along. Let it happen, President Trump has a Little David standing ready to take on that Mocking Giant. We the people must be patient while the slayer of the Giant is preparing. We have seen a few famous people who were honest in their belief come to realization that they were on the wrong side of God's World. They have paid the price of giving up their fame, and joining the fame that really matters. Still many who think they have not committed to either side of the Civil War are exempt from punishment. Not so, God said. “Either you are for Me or against Me.” All have to make a choice. In fact if you think you have not made a choice, you are wrong. It's time for everyone to wake up from idleness to becoming a full time fighter for our Lord Jesus Christ. Your bible is the first training you need, so get it open now. It is a path leading to all good things.

"New York City Central Park"

   Pray for New York City. the demons are at work to destroy it. 11-12-2019 Perryton, TX
Some of the things I had heard, and read about the Central Park of New York City gave me a great deal of interest so much that I wanted to do a painting and hang it in my home. I found this picture in a magazine, and liked it enough to enlarge, and copy the landscape on a canvas. I did some research on the huge rock, and learned it was moved into the park location several years ago. It was a major task to move it, but thousands of people each year climb a few steps up that rock. I have learned that Central Park of New York City is part of a 750 acre park area. I cannot imagine. It cost as much to build this park as the entire state of Alaska. There are many interesting stories written about this park that can be found on the internet. They can really sir up the excitement in one's gizzard. I have posted my 16+20 inch painting which hangs in one of my bedrooms. I almost feel like I'm on vacation every time I walk into that bedroom. Most of you know, but you can click onto this picture a few times, and get a much clearer view. The little boy climbing on the rock is wearing his football Jersey. Possibly to antagonize the new York Giants. Football starter uppers are known for that. Leave that little boy alone, he may be playing on the Giants team someday. According to how old the picture was, the boy could possible be on the team now.


I'm writing this story to emphasize the fact that New York City is not what it used to be. The streets of Manhattan are lined with homeless people, and the whole City is described by visitors as being dirty. Our President Trump is selling the famed “Trump Towers,” and moving his home place to Florida. That is one hard pill to swallow. Several large, major companies have recently refused to take their companies to New York because of some of the leaders there. I believe this state has crossed over the line of being the Trade Center of the world. I pray our President can rebuild it in time. It would be a sad, sad day to see it completely fall like California, however I do think it's almost there. Central Park in New York City may not be thrilling much longer to have hanging in my home, but it will always hold good memories. The United States of America is just about as near to falling as any one state it claims, but for God's sake keep those flags flying high until the last cat is dead. As long as President Trump lives, America will live, but after that will there still be hope? I think there will be, but only God knows what is in store. I will keep my thoughts secret for now.

"Turkey Dinner Spider Soup Appetizer"

Here it is, Thanksgiving menu ready to cook. The spider is already skinned. 11-11-2019 Perryton, TX
 

I'm getting too anxious for Thanksgiving to get here. I have some children coming to visit me, and that has been making me over joyed. I'm baking a turkey for dinner, and having spider soup for an appetizer. I bought the spider for Halloween, but now I need to get rid of it. Just thinking skinned spider soup might make a good appetizer. I don't believe in wasting anything. But the rat I bought for Halloween will have to be turned loose to find another home. We won't need two appetizers. I am reminded of when my mother told me this story. When my brother, the oldest child, was 2 and 1/2 years old a real rat was seen in the house. My mom quickly killed it. But when the next meal was served my brother looked all over the table and asked, where is the rat? I am the second child, but I wasn't born yet. All of my brother's life he heard about the dinner rat. It's kinda funny, but you must have a strong stomach to hear these kind of stories. How can I ever partake of a Thanksgiving dinner without thinking about my mother, my brother, and the rat? I am sure never to tell that story at my Thanksgiving dinner table. Sometimes my bad side has to come out, but not too often. Just today I made a boo-boo. I mentioned at the Senior luncheon that I needed to loose ten pounds. Of course my friends all said I didn't need to lose any weight. I said, I look awful in my cloths. Another friend said, I look awful out of my cloths. What could I say? Yep, I look worse out of mine too.


Happy are these golden years when you're not being given a check mark at every mistake you make. It feels good to have a perfect score at every test paper you are handed back. I suppose retirement makes us perfect now. At least I like to think that. However, we do know the only real teacher that matters at all is never going to give us a pass unless it's legitimate. We may be gold, but not priceless. The eternal life we all are planning for must be legalized by the blood of Jesus Christ. His blood was not given to be laughed at, or even taken lightly. There is a line we all must never cross if we expect to have eternal joy, peace, and happiness. I trust all of us has learned that part of our educated process. And education is a process. We never quit learning till the day we die. That's not saying we never forget some things we've learned, but hopefully we know enough to remember that. If something is not working for us that has been all along, let us check our memory card. Let it not go until you cannot remember where your memory card is. We have a far piece to go yet on this journey.

God Bless

"A Rub Board Experience"

                 Not much to see you say, but a lot to read about. 11-10-2019 Perryton, TX.
 

I have missed three days this week of posting a blog. It seems as thought I went blank on what to write about. This morning I just asked God to give me something to write my blog about today. I took my camera and went outside to see all these rub-board style clouds then the message came to me. “ Life is like a rub-board.” For those who are not old enough to know what a rub-board is I will explain. My grandmother used to do all of her laundry in a large tub of water that had been heated over hot coals with this hand-operated machine called a rub-board. It was approximately 18” wide, and about 3 ' long made from wood with most of it being a metal tool with ribbed devises all across it. The rub-board was put in the tub of hot water with a bar of home-made soap to do the laundry with. The washing lady had to rub the cloths up and down on that metal-ribbed tool until her hands were red as blood, and often had blisters to deal with later. Wash day was a day of torture back then. Although the day of rub-boards are over, the day of rough life is not. By the end of most days some of us feel like we have been pushed up and down over a rub-board. Right before I asked God for something to write about today I had just read a message a friend had put on face book while she was sitting in church this morning. I will briefly try to relate this story to you.


This friend, and her husband who was a lobbyist, moved to Washington DC a few years ago. She was met there with constant demon attackers, mostly one, who completely destroyed her beautiful, honest, respectable life. She finally left DC and came back home to Texas, but too late to ever find peace of mind. She wrote a book thinking it would help to regain her dignity, but for several years her book didn't accomplish what she had hoped it would. I read her book, and I was so moved by it I wanted to go to DC and find that witch who did this awful stuff to a wonderful person. Of course there was no way I could do that. I had an awful hard time believing that what I read could possible be true. However, this friend swears every word is true, and she is still suffering from the results. She has finally sold the rights to a movie company, and it is now in the process of being put into a movie. However, nothing can bring back the pride, and success this wife, mother, and ex-beauty queen once knew. She is still struggling with, these past memories, and I don't see how this movies can have a good ending. She is at present the Senior Mrs. Universe, and tries to fulfill her need to encourage all senior women to be their own self, and not be discredited no matter who you are.


This movie will be titled “False Victim” by Kathy Truitt. Watch for it because I promise you will be glued to the screen the whole time. This heroine has been finally given the opportunity to spread her unusual story, and help others who are being used like cloth on a rub-board. God Bless her.
