"Shout Out To The Perryton Senior Citizen Center"
I apologize for the poor picture of our Senior Citizen's Center I took today. The sun was too bright, but until after I got home I didn't realize it. The fact is this building is state of the art, and we are very proud of it. My blog story today is about a miraculous blessing God has given the Seniors since the shut down of of our economy. I want to tell you a little bit about this building, and the wonderful people who attend it.
In 2003 a few Senior
Citizens got together and decided to build a big, state of the art
building for the older people. A good amount of land was purchased,
and several people pledged to give generously for making this dream a
reality. There were no state or local funds available to apply to
this building project. The good thing about that is it would be
sovereign, and the members could do anything they pleased without
having to answer to anyone in government enmities. On the other hand
all financial expenditures would have to come from donations, and a
slight profit from meals that would be served. Stepping out on faith
the good seniors decided to go for it.
I do not have all the
details about the cost of this facility, but it is a 40,000 feet
building with everything modern, and well designed for many different
uses the members can use to help bring in money. I do not know what
the yearly budget is, but I'm sure it is large for a membership of
less than 200.The membership fees are very minimal, and without a
good attendance of diners, it would be impossible to meet the budget.
For seventeen years this special, social, and non social, place has
been thriving. With all that being said when the United States
announced an economy shut-down, for all states, and businesses except
for essential, I wondered if The Senior Citizen's Center would ever
open for dining again. It was allowed to keep serving meals, but only
the kitchen help, and a few other needed workers were allowed inside.
Orders had to be called in, and picked up at the door. I am one that
mostly went to the Center for the great fellowship, and constant fun
while dining there. I have not been one of those dependable members
that supported the Center, mostly because I had such a negative
attitude about the future of our entire country. I tried to stay
positive, but I would be up one day, and down the next. I was home
alone most of the time watching bad news all day long.
Now for the most wonderful
news I've head yet. The director of the Center puts a news letter in
our local paper every week. She was so grateful for all the generous
support she had been receiving. I truly believe she is a big part of
all this donated money only because of her unmatched good humor. It
means so much to discouraged people. Plus there are others who were
able to add a lot of positivism to this wounded livelihood. In her
news letter she said some people had donated their entire stimulants
check to the Center. $1,200. Can you not say this was a miraculous
blessing? So far all is well with our Center, but negative me still
wonders about the future. I'm hanging in, because I, myself have been
blessed beyond imagination, still I worry.

"What's Holding Up Breakfast"
“
This early bird is waiting for his breakfast. He is the first in line because when the feeder is filled a lot of birds immediately swarm the serving stalls. They don't pay any attention to the corona virus rules. I can watch them eating from my recliner. It is quite entertaining. Due to the limit on how much food we can buy at the store at this time, even the birds have to be rationed. Is this a temporary change we are going through now, or is more burdens coming to us later on? I believe everyone is wondering about this question. My personal hope, and faith lies within a just God who still controls His creation. He does all things well, and is 100 percent just. If our country is being judged at this time, I am all for it. I still believe in justice for all. After the earthly trial is over, the sentence will be decided by The Greatest Judge in Heaven. Again I think it's time for that declaration to take place. I see so many people now who are very scared, because they are not ready to be judged. I can add that all of us hesitate to stand before the Great, and Notable Judge, but it is evident to happen. Those who have their faith anchored in God will be the least to worry. I declare my faith daily, without delay, to my Heavenly Father. I am truly convinced that He is just, and without favor. For that reason I can still have peace, and enjoy my life as to it's possibilities.
I had planned to write a
different story today. I was ready to pen it yesterday, which
unfortunately didn't happen, but my plan now is to write it tomorrow.
I feel sure God wanted me to wait a couple of days, but I'm not sure
why. Maybe it was because I was too emotionally unstable to write a
miraculous testimony such as it. I was over come with joy. Somehow
God gives his children extra blessings when they need an uplifting
spiritually. Some would laugh at what I call an extra blessing, but I
know when it is super spiritual, and when it is coincidental. When
people pray with a sincere heart, as many were doing about this need,
God answers prayer. While this special need was met, there is also
another need pending. Details will hopefully be given tomorrow on my
blog. Even by then maybe more than I know now can be added. The world
is still revolving, and the sun is still shinning. My body may get
tired, and my mind over whelmed with thoughts, but rest does come to
the weary. Often we can see today what we couldn't see yesterday,
even though it was there all the time. Here's hoping everyone has a
good day today, and even a better one tomorrow.
God Bless

Jean's Comment's: "This Heavenly Tree Is Dressing Up"
Jean's Comment's: "This Heavenly Tree Is Dressing Up": I waited a long time for this. Heavenly Tree finally dressing up. 4-27-2020- Perryton, TX My Heavenly tree is starting to dress ...
"This Heavenly Tree Is Dressing Up"
My Heavenly tree is
starting to dress up in it's beautiful yellow attire. I think it's
celebrating the reopening of our Texas economy. We heard today Texas
Governor Abbott has given a 50 percent release on several of the
business that has been locked down for six weeks. It will begin this
Friday, Then in one more week most all of the full release will
happen on most of the businesses. How exciting to hear this good
news. It has been a nightmare for a way too long. Much, much damage
has been done to our country, and to many of it's good citizens.
However, nothing that our President Trump, with God's help can't
restore. If I'm correct this will be the fourth time he has made a
come back from the evil left, and some foreign enemy countries. I'm
sure there will be another try, and possibly several more, but we
will endure. This war is not about flesh, and blood, but about
Almighty God. I understand many experts are saying life will never be
the same again. A complete change of education, and more to doing
business from the internet. Lord have mercy on some of us older
know-it-all's, who cannot learn a new way of life. I trust God will
be merciful to us. We may not be able to check our bank accounts
daily, or still have an individual person explain things to us, but
if the time has come for computer management completely, I have some
very smart children, thank God. They can't change my mind about right
or wrong, but they can do all my on line business. My bible will
always be my guide, and it's pretty self explained.
I bought groceries today, and even with the shelves being so empty-like, I got everything I needed except yeast. I did want to make bread, but that can wait. I don't know the rush for people to still be buying large quantities of things, but while the stocker's were working as fast as they could, the shelves were still emptying up. I've heard another bout of deadly virus will follow this one, and that crude oil will drop back to 0 again, but I am still not giving into fear. I feel safe as long as I trust God. If He wants me to survive He will provide. That's not saying I do not have to do my part to fight this evil enemy that has engulfed us, but I cannot do anything without God's help. I will try hard to follow His will. He knows my heart, and that is all that matter, I will say again I believe we are living in a time of God's wrath, and we must ride it out. Agree, or disagree, the bible is all truth, and it bears out a lot of what's going on today. I'm so happy that I am one of His own.
God Bless

"Love One Another As God Loved You"
Only God and these two
love birds heard my prayer this Sunday morning. I used David's prayer
to send up to my Lord.
PSALMS 131
Lord, my heart is not haughty, nor mine eyes lofty; neither do I exercise myself in great matters, or in things too high for me, Surely I have behaved and quieted myself, as a child that is weaned of his mother: my soul is even as a weaned child. Let Israel hope in the Lord from henceforth and for ever.
How can one read the bible daily without sharing with others? Sometimes it's a love message, sometimes it's a fearful message, but every scripture in the bible is true, and will be made factual before the end of time. Much of the bible has already become a fact still people refuse to believe it, or at least show little interest in it.
God uses His people to carry out His plan. Whatever the task may be, we have to be willing to go forward. I am one of the millions who believe President Trump was put into the Presidency by God Almighty. This President has suffered shame, and reproach more than all other presidents combined for as long as it now stands. I believe he would have been killed long ago if it were not for God's protection. President Trump does not know how long he will be President of America, but he is prepared to stay the course. How can anyone doubt at this time of such a destructive power that has swept over us, that God is the Master of all things? Many will say we have lost our minds, and tell us to shut out mouths, but I am not one to put others orders above God's. I believe the day of peace is over for many. God has had patience with us for many years, but it;s time now for Him to honor His Word. It's O K for you to criticize me I know who you are, and it does not bother me at all. I will continue to seek God's will in my life because I do not have much time left. I want to be accepted by that Great Almighty God who created the world and all that is in it. I believe I would die tomorrow if I refused to be of service to God any longer. He is only leaving me here to use me for His glory. Woe be to those who live only for their own selfish gain, and mock, and criticize others who put God first. One thing for sure God's mercy does not endure forever. You will find those words in the bible. I have read them many times. It would be nice of you to criticize me in private, but if you choose to throw stones at me before others, that also I can accept. Jesus' love dwells within my heart, and like Him I will die for you if necessary. This is not an individual message to anyone. I am speaking to all my enemies. It is a command from our Lord.
God Bless

"Rhubarb And Asparagus If Nothing Else"
I am not a prophet, or anything near that, but it seems like common sense would tell us that we are living in a dangerous, evil, world with only God's help to save us. I mentioned in a blog a bible reference in Revelations, chapter 6 where John the revelator saw the four houses coming down from heaven, with the fourth one being a pale horse which was death. That particular horse is found in the 6th verse of chapter 8. The scripture tells us that ¼ of the worlds population would be destroyed all at once. It does not say how, or just how long “all at once” would take, but I assume it could take a short period of time. To add my own opinion if I may, I believe this world has gotten so evil, and so far away from God, till this virus could possibly be the fourth, pale horse John saw. I got a few hate comments from that opinion, but I believe we all have a right to our opinion. I do know some of those who wrote hate comments to me are possibly part of the people God is speaking to. Those of us who feel like we have a duty to speak God's Word, let us bravely continue to speak it. If we stay silent then we are not supporters of God;s Word, and we will be held accountable.

"On Top Of The World"
Who's afraid of the corona
virus? Not this Mr. Blackbird. He rises higher than the germ. I'm
with him. I think we need to stop being bullied, and take a stand
against this unknown enemy. It was just another attempt for the enemy
to take our country down. Many of us know who this unknown enemy is,
but for certain reasons we have to call it the “unknown.” It will
be known to all before too much longer. I welcome God's punishment on
them all. Sin has been a part of God's creation since the beginning
of time. People were given a choice to obey or not to obey. To those
who chose not to obey great punishment was put upon them for all
eternity. Generation after generation would suffer from one persons
disobedience. May I add it was a woman who led the way for
everlasting punishment. So be the case for great sin today. A woman
is leading the way. God made man to govern the world, and gave him a
help mate for making, (I said a help mate,) big decisions, but the
bone from the first human created, which formed a woman, turned out
to be a curse for all mankind. I am a woman, but I never want to take
the place of a man. The Word says God made man in His own image, but
it doesn't say in who's image He made woman from. That's the way I
see it. I am so sick of women trying to become a man. I believe that
is why some men are trying to become a woman. They are trying to
balance the sin as if that were possible.

Jean's Comment's: "The Butterfly Said No Pic Of Me Today"
Jean's Comment's: "The Butterfly Said No Pic Of Me Today": Cherry blossoms sharing with the butterflies. 4-22-2020 Perryton, TX What a nice rain we had last night....
"The Butterfly Said No Pic Of Me Today"
What a nice rain we had
last night. ¾ of an inch. So happy to have gotten it since
everything was drying up. I took a picture of these cherry blossoms
because they have been on the tree for about three weeks. It's so
unusual for them to stay on that long. Butterflies are feeding off
their sweet nectar, but I couldn't get a picture of one. Hopefully
this nice rain will make cherries replace the blossoms. The sun is
shinning bright, and as soon as it dries the grass a little I will be
calling the lawn guy.
My good deed for the day is in the making. I am making a big pot of beef and vegetable stew. I will be taking some to a friend who is not doing well at all. Depression has gotten the best of her. Unless one of her man friends, and I are able to do something miraculous for her she will not last much longer. We are praying, and trying to pull her through. She is a nice person, but has lost a lot of her mind which makes it hard to encourage her. If only she could get the right kind of medicine we think she would be O K. With times like this corona virus so devastatingly using all the medical specialist just to keep it under control, It's almost impossible to get a depressed person some help. The one and only daughter she has here is worn out trying to care for her. She also is staring to get very depressed. We have to ask ourselves where is this country headed? It looks mighty bleak to many. I will always trust God, but when He says enough is enough, it is enough.
I myself am having some difficulty staying positive. I cannot say how long we can wait before we all go crazy. It's very evident that God is punishing those who have trampled His Son underfoot calling Him a con-artist as well as many other demotic names. It's hard to understand why everyone has to suffer, but we all do have some guilt about our past. We know that the Almighty Judge is a just judge, and we have that to strengthen us every day. I have heard this sick friend say for years she wanted to die. She even said she thought God was punishing her by letting her live such miserable life. As of yesterday she became mentally deranged to the point she thought she was dying, and was crying I an scared, I am scared to death, I am dying. Even today she is saying I was so scared yesterday that I was dying, and I am still scared. I know my grand daughter won't come to my funeral, and I'm afraid my son, and daughter will not make up before I die. How do you talk to someone like that? We have been trying to talk to her a long time, but it just keeps getting worse. She will not let anything enter her mind, but dying without her family forgiving one another, as well as herself. Be faithful my friends, and never doubt the just God we serve.
God Bless

"A Shelter In The Time Of Storm"
Tomorrow is Wednesday a day when I used to go to the Center for lunch. Since this virus has plagued us it has now been five weeks since I have had lunch in the Center. The cooks are still making meals, but you have to call in an order, and drive by to pick it up. I haven't done that but once. I like the joy of sharing a meal with others, and look at their faces while we eat, and joke. I pray God will let us open back up, but I am just a bit pessimistic That don't mean I have given up all hope on enjoying my life again. I am too optimistic for that. If I have to I can ride my stick horse around the yard. Yea, become a child again. We can all give up a lot of our pleasures if God sees fit to take them. I have had to give up many of my loved ones, and God gave me grace to endure. He can do the same with my lifestyle if it need be. It is just a wait and see, but I feel sure the Christian believers will always be blessed. The other worshipers of money only, will probably be left without anything but sadness. Sadly they did not believe God's Word. “Lay your treasures up in heaven where neither moth or rust doeth not corrupt.”

Jean's Comment's: "10,000 Plus Calaories In One Potato"
Jean's Comment's: "10,000 Plus Calaories In One Potato": This potato head is winking at you. It is 20" from top of head to chin around, and 11 and 1/2 " around it's face. 4-20-2020 ...
"10,000 Plus Calaories In One Potato"
Let me introduce you to
Mr. Potato Head. I found him on top of a #20 bag of potatoes I
recently bought. I have been known to do some very stupid things, and
I can't deny this one. First of all Mr. Potato Head weighs exactly 2
pounds. He is 20 inches around length wise, and 11 1/2 inches around
the middle. He comes from a giant family of potatoes. This is how I
came to know him. I went to the store for groceries, and needed
potatoes. Since my son, and I don't eat many potatoes I always buy a
#5 bag. But this time the different size bags of potatoes were lined
up side by side. The #5 bag was marked $5.00. There were no #10 bags,
but some #20 bags were also marked $5.00. A fellow customer, and I
thought there had to be a mistake so we asked a sales person and he
replied they are both the same price. Needless to say we both put a
#20 bag in our grocery cart. When I opened the bag for some potatoes
I discovered these giant-sized potatoes. Now I know why they were
marked $5.00. They are too heavy to hold in your hand while you peel
them. Impossible to bake, and even one potato is too much for two
people a meal. A bargain is not always a bargain after all. However,
I hope this one I have posted is the biggest. I think I have a few
more than 10 potatoes in that bag. I do have a hatchet in my shed if
I need it.
At 1 o'clock I feel like I
have used up about all of my energy for the day. Yet I have some more
planned jobs to do. Things that require the help of others, so I have
to stay positive. Sometimes it's not just when we feel like it. A
push has to take place. God has never failed me yet. We can find
pleasure in some things that used to seem like hard work. “Do unto
others as you would have them do unto you,” is a good bible verse
to practice. “Love and pray for those who despitefully use you,”
is another. “Love thy neighbor as thyself.” We need to tank up on
this kind of fuel every day. We can rest after we have accomplished.
Bodily pain is real, but mental pain is much worse. Fight with all
your might to stay positive. Pick someone up who has fallen, and drag
them if needed to get them to a safer place in Christ. It is required
of us. The more we stick together the stronger we become in Christ.
We must not let fear overtake us.
God Bless

"Is In My Yard OK Six Feet Away"
It is a lovely day today.
Lots of pretty white clouds are forming all kinds of interesting
formations against a perfectly blue sky. The birds are moving so fast
they remind me of when I used to take my kids to the park. Excitement
I must say. I have a good excuse to sit and watch everything move
with much glee, and it makes me smile. It's Sunday and I don't work
in the yard on Sunday. I'm having trouble even on the week days
getting much work done. Somehow this virus has taken a lot out of
people mentally. For five weeks now I have stayed home except for a
few trips to the grocery store. I know I have not completely lost my
mind in that short time, but everything I go to do now fails. I have
to repeat several times telling my brain what I want to do before it
finally understands me. I know I will never graduate to the next
level of patience. It takes three or four times as long to do things
now that I used to do the first time, just five weeks ago. Which is
the worse the virus or losing our mind? Neither way is the way I had
planned my journey when I was ready to leave this world. All my
planning, and thinking might have been in vain. However, I will still
keep insisting on going my way or no way. God knows I am easy to win
over when He is the one speaking.
Laying all jokes aside I
do believe this day, and time is a sure thing to move people closer
to their final days on earth. The doctors may not be as efficient
during this trying time of tribulation as they have been in the past.
Which means we may well be left to suffer more than before. I know
these are words no one likes to hear, but I believe it is better to
be prepared than to be greatly surprised. The best nerve medicine we
can take is Trust God with all our heart, and He will have mercy on
us. I have been through two such times, and it turned out to be a
victory song both times. God is unbelievably good, and loving. No one
deserves the mercy He gives us if we fully trust Him.
I am using this same trust
every day to keep me from losing my mind. Otherwise I know too much
about His anger when people trample on His son, Jesus Christ. He will
not be mocked, and I am so glad He does not allow that. He has a rod
that He uses when people refuse to honor, and respect Him. It could
be the corona virus, or any other way to bring us to attention. I
want Him to correct me rather than let Satan take me to hell. God has
taught me how to rebuke Satan, and he will flee from us.
God Bless

"Take It Easy While You Can"
I did get out of the house
today even if it was just to the patio. I relaxed in my lounging
cloths, and dreamed I was on a cruse. It really has been a long,
boring day, but it's almost gone now, only to have another tomorrow.
The week-ends are harder for me than the week days. Especially when
the wind blows so hard you can't work in the yard. I did wash three
loads of cloths, but it wasn't any fun. If I could I would open this
entire American economy, and make fun of the evil leftist. I do not
believe this horrible crisis was anything but the ruler of evil
placing fear on the entire world. Of course a deadly virus was
manufactured by our enemies, and they were not smart enough to keep
it where they wanted it, but our God knew where to keep it. Fear took
away the faith of many in a time when God was testing us the most. I
have not worn a mask even once, or was forced to stay 6 feet away
from anyone, but I do live in a community where not one confirmed
case of the virus has been found. We have honest people here who do
not report common flu or other sickness as the corona virus. I know I
am not 100 percent positive when I say I know not one person here who
is not for our President Trump. The only way he would not get
re-elected is if somehow the democrats get their evil way of
controlling the voting system. Since they made this virus thing
successful I would not doubt they also make the cheating voting
system successful. Why is God allowing this to happen? Because the
sinful, evil minds of so many have made His creation into a mockery.
It took five terrible plagues for God to finally free His people from
the Egyptian slavery. But not any of His chosen people suffered with
the plagues. I have to wonder if our time has come for such a
cleansing.
Don't be surprised at anything that may happen after the coronia virus has been conquered. We just must not forget who God is, and how powerful He has been since the beginning of time. I hope that most of us don't complain as much as the Israelits did. Let us brace ourselves for the worst. After all the Israelits committed some bad acts before they became slaves in Egypt. But because they were God's chosen people He did make a way for then to escape.

"Does Anyone Realize Yet What Has Happened"
This sixty some odd
apartment complex was built in Perryton, Texas just a few years ago.
It is an upscale, high rent apartment addition, built for people who
were needed to work in the oil industry which had boomed, but had no
place to live. The contractor who built these apartments was
guaranteed by the city to not lose any money if things died down.
Now with the price of oil going down more every day there is few oil
related jobs left here. When these apartments were built the price of
oil was $60 a barrel. Ochiltree county had a large resource of
underground crude, and it was a great advantage for the county to
produce it. The price of oil stayed up for quite some time, but when
the country shut down because of the corona virus, it has dropped to
$18 a barrel as of today, 4-17-2020. People have had to move out of
these apartments, and the ones who still live there, their cars can
be seen parked there in the middle of the day. Two or three large
motels were added to the up grade, and several business were built to
take care of extra business that had evolved.
People are very worried
that this terrible plague that has been put upon us will never be
lifted. Some of us are trying to stay positive, but those who read
their bibles know it may never get better because of the awful sin
that man had flooded the nation with. Yes, we have had bad things
happen to us before, and things did come back, but never has the
entire world been affected with a deadly virus that so far has no
known cure, or prevention. This could possibly be the death of the
great world God created, and He has been tested for the last time. If
you haven't already I would advise you to denounce every sinful act
you have committed, and plead the mercy of God. People just must
realize that God is real, He is alive, and He will not let ungodly
people continue to live in His original Land of Paradise. Too many
people have made a mockery out of God, and it is time for them to pay
up. I will say that no man is perfect, and God knows who makes
mistakes but does ask Him for forgiveness when they are not even
aware of their mistakes. It is those who seem to not care what God
thinks, and try to become greater than He that will suffer the most.
All I can say is wait no longer to join with the Christians to trust
God for mercy, and forgiveness. Ignorance will not get you excused
for your sins. Everyone has had the chance to speak to God about
their deeds. He will never fail to give them guidelines, and wisdom.
It is a personal thing, and not what someone else may tell you. No
one knows your heart but God.
God Bless

I believe the sinners joy is over, and from now on only sorrow, and regret will they know. Jesus did come to save souls, but He did have guide lines that a lot of people ignored. He is still the Supreme Ruler of the world. He is risen from the dead, and lives in the believers heart only. Those who believe in Him will respect, and honor Him. They will not try to change His creation into something other than what He created. A man and a woman union, and a male or a female fetus. No exceptions. I would say that God has finally brought this evil to an end. Sin is sin, but there certainly are degrees of sin. That is why we have judges today, and always have even in Old Testament times. Brace your selves for what may be a “beyond miserable” time.
God Bless

"A Weapon Print Is Visible"
A light snow fell over
Perryton, Texas last night. You can see the print of an ax on the
table where I had removed it before I took the picture. If the last
freeze hadn't already hindered the fruit from making I'm sure the
freeze last night did. April the 14th is late for a
killing freeze in our part of the country. However, the moister was
good for the weed and feed my son spread on the yard while he was
here a few days ago. It didn't take long for the sun to melt all the
snow even though the temperature stayed in the forties. Kent also
installed a new rain gauge for me, which I was needing badly. The
several things he did for me while he was here has made me feel
blessed more than usual. I'm trying not to complain a lot although I
am having a hard time accepting the virus plague that has been put
upon us. If my father was still alive he would be saying it's good
for us. It will teach us not to underestimate the power of God. He
would take it with a grain of salt. However, there were no
televisions back then, and we never got a newspaper or even had a
radio to constantly be hearing all the bad stuff we hear today. Even
if it had of been afforded to us, my dad would still have had the
same attitude. I don't think I inherited many of his genes.
Staying home a lot doesn't bother me as much as when I do go to the grocery store or other essential places I don't even recognize my best friends. Their faces are covered with a big mask, and I can't get closer than six feet to them. I feel so restrained. No doubt many will not be able to come through this frightening time with a sound mind. I believe a permanent brain damage will result for many. I'm in wonder myself if I need to change the life style I've lived for seventy some years, and have felt blessed every day of it. I think I will be an over comer, but it will take some mighty strong faith. After all we are not saved by works, but by faith. Faith cometh by hearing, and not by sight. I will be looking out for myself because what good are we to God if we lose our own faith, then our body to death? Otherwise it would be like jumping into a river to save someone without a boat or a life jacket. There comes a time when prayer is our best rescue effort. Of course God expects us to use our faith to help build other's faith, but sometimes it just don't resonate. We have to be willing to let go, and plead their case before God. Our tears will keep flowing for them, but we can keep our victory.
God Bless

"I Love Pink Anything"
My pretty pink, red wood
blossoms are not wanting to pose for a picture today. They are so
pretty, but don't show up nicely in the picture. It is cloudy and
that probably is why they are not showing up well. We are suppose to
get some snow, but nothing of the sort yet. It has been cold, and
windy again today. I am anxious for warm, windless weather to get
here and stay awhile. I'm still having to recover from the loneliness
that happened when my son left for his home in Sherman yesterday. It
was so nice having him with me for three days. However, I am feeling
much better today. When the sun comes out to stay I will be fine. I
am having to put a lot of left-over food in the freezer that he
cooked while he was here. I am pleased to do that since I had used
most of my frozen left-overs up. There is a lot of roast beef with
carrots, and potatoes, and a good amount of mushroom beef gravy that
I plan to make into a roast beef pot pie with a nice crust. Will add
some onions, peas, and corn to it. It was so nice of my son to fix
dinner for a friend, and I the second night he was here. He is a very
good cook, almost as good as his sweet wife. He also fixed my
breakfast the next morning not knowing I had already eaten biscuit,
and sausage grave while he was still asleep. I had gone back to sleep
in my recliner while he was fixing breakfast. This sounds a little
confusing but what can you expect when we are now living in a
confused world. Every night when we go to bed we wonder what tomorrow
will be like, or if there will be a tomorrow. I have to think
positive, because I love my family, and friends too much to leave
them.
I expect to be laughing, and enjoying myself more than ever before within a few more days. I expect to be able to say the evil left has lost again for the umpteenth time. God will never forsake His own children, nor fail to bless them for their faithfulness. I cannot say that about those who have dammed God, and lied about his good people. There has to be a punishment for evil, and I do believe it will happen soon. God's own words. “so they will know that I am God.” Our own earthly fathers used to say to we children, “do you know who you are talking to?” Awe! Did we ever remember quickly. I hope and pray a great time of repentance will happen when this plague is over, so God will not have to send another one. But somehow I feel like it will take more than one warning for people so ungodly as what we have been dealing with for a way to long. I urge all Christians to keep praying.
God Bless

"This Is Not A Miff"
This picture of the rising
sun was taken three days ago April 9. The day my youngest son, Kent,
came to be with me for three days. If my calculation is correct that
was the day our Savior, Jesus Christ, was crucified. Today April 12,
is the day He was risen from the grave. It has been a very windy,
cold day, and no sunshine at all. All the churches are closed because
of the corona virus, and I am feeling pretty low, especially after
Kent left to go home. The past three days have been a real blessing
to me. I hardly thought about our country being shut down. Kent was
busy repairing my fence, and several other things. I was right beside
him most of the time he was here. He was very positive about this
terrible thing that shut our country down saying it would be gone by
the end of the month. As long as he was here I was positive also, but
now since he is gone, I am seeing, and hearing all kind of negative
things on the news. I have always been a strong person, and I believe
that is why my children are so strong, and fearless. But when one
reads their bible daily and prays, how can you keep from wondering if
this thing has been sent by God to punish a very sinful nation. For
those who only believe in the New Testament I can understand their
unconcern, but I truly believe in both the Old, and the New
Testament. And I do fear for what some of God's people have done to
destroy everything good God has created. The bible tells us that the
good will have to suffer with the bad, but I believe that means we
cannot continue to be the blessed nation we have enjoyed for years
because of the punishment God has put on the ungodly. Every human
makes up the plan of God. Certainly God knows the hearts of all. If I
have to give up my fun time in life I know I can manage that. When
God is ready for me to cease my foolishness, and spend more time
declaring His Word, I will be listening for the call.
I can now add before this day ended I can now see the sun. What a thrill I get from that. I believe I can bounce back into my old routine, and wait for what I think is “the best is yet to come.” I truly believe that some of the most sinful people will eventually be
don't change your mind after God has mercy on you. He may not have it a second time.

"Where Are The Jets In This Jet Age"
I am seeing things happen today that my parents, and my church taught me out of the bible for as far back as I can remember until the time of their death. It may seem like a long time, but one day with God is as a thousand years. According to that I haven't lived a full day yet. That is the way we measure time theses days. We should all admit we are as filthy rags in God's sight, and stop acting like we are saints. That is what God calls us in the bible. Nothing but God's mercy can make us fit to be called “One of His.” I can never forget the day I found that out. I shall never forget to thank Him daily for that mercy.
As I wait patiently in my blessed home till God tells me I can come out, I will be content as the Apostle Paul told us to be. Whatever I can do to help others to believe on Him, I will certainly be doing my best as long as we have telephone service, or as long as I can get my blogs to go out on the internet. I may not receive a reward when I enter into my heaven of rest. I may barely make it in, but whatever I am given, I will be more than thankful. I know I did not deserve anything.

"Easter Season No Doubt"
Well it happened. We had a freeze last night, and some of the things that were looking good doesn't look so good today. The asparagus is bending over today like they are praying. I'm posting this picture of some rhubarb, but I don't think the freeze hurt it. I don't think it's ever failed to send us a slight freeze just before Easter, just over a week from today. So sorry to say everyone will have to spend Easter Sunday at home this year since we are all locked in because of the corona virus. Another big event I have been looking forward to is the membership dinner at the Museum of the Plains. It was scheduled for April 7th, and it has to be canceled also. This dinner is such a nice time for many people to meet and enjoy a delicious meal at the Museum. It is a complimentary, dinner for all Museum members. We are so used to having wonderful get-to-gathers till some of us are feeling blah. A great change is definitely taking place in our lives, and I wonder if the world will be a better place afterwards, or worse. I think this will depend upon the evil population, and how far they are willing to go before they give up their demon power. The Christians must declare victory, and be patient until God works one of His great miracles. I am on His side however long it takes. I would never accuse God of being wrong about anything He did. I'm just thankful He accepted me as one of His own.
I am anxious to get back
to enjoying life again, and I know that is going to happen. I also
believe life will be more blessed for the Christians than before. He
is wiping out so much of sin that displeased Him the most. Starting
with the churches, and going to the highest form of Government
control, He is sweeping it up, and throwing it into the pits of hell.
Just think about how wonderful that will be. I can already see myself
laughing, and having praise on my lips at all the changes I know God
made within His world. I can hardly wait, but believe me I will even
if it takes longer than I live. Mentally I am already busy preparing
get-to-gathers, and feeling His blessings. I can see the depressed
coming to joy, peace, and happiness, after long years of wanting to
die. Thank God for His Almighty love, and understanding. I feel like
in a few months we can look back and think we have crossed the Red
Sea, on dry ground. Which means we better not start grumbling again
or we may not be able to cross over into the Promised Land. I pray we
all can learn a great lesson from this hardship God is putting us
through.
God Bless

"Speak My Lord And I Will Answer Thee"
It's April 1, 2020 and I
am sitting outside waiting for my Lord to speak to me. You can't see
my fur collar coat I have on, but it is cold enough till I had to
wear it to stay warm. The sun is shinning, but the wind is blowing.
From my expression you may think I am troubled, but really I am just
anxious to see how long God is going to take to completely answer my
prayer. I know that what we are going through today in the whole
world is the beginning of what I, and most Christians, have been
asking for. I did not ask for God to send a plague on us, and kill
millions of people, but I did ask God to destroy all the terrible
evil that had choked out all the good things God let our country
depend upon for many years. I believed the time had come for all
Christians to take a stand. And believe me I believe many, many
Christians did take a stand. God is definitely in this world wide
crisis, and I feel like this battle of good against evil will not end
soon. I believe every human being will have to make a choice to let
God take control of their lives, or be forever dammed. It's also my
belief that is what's happening now.
I can personally say in
recent years I have had leaders of certain churches treat me like I
was a friend of Satan. The church I have been a member of for 35
years has not been one of those. I have been treated like all
Christians should be treated. But here's another story. Sometimes God
chooses us to carry His message to others outside our own church.
Many times before God's messengers can do anything but be present in
a church, certain leaders will tell you that you are not welcome
because of the way you dress. I had this to happen to me a few years
ago at a Wednesday night service by the pastor. I was wearing cloths
that I wear to the grocery store, and the pastor said I made people
nervous in cloths like that. It seemed like sweats, and jeans were
the proper way to dress in that church, and tattoos were worn by
several. I had trouble believing what I had just heard, and I wanted
to walk out immediately, since church hadn't started yet, but I was
so embarrassed I waited till church was over, then told the people
“God bless You,” and said to them I will not come back. Yes, the
same pastor, and the same few people still gather at that church, and
needless to say it hasn't grown any.
Another church that I had
been a member of for several years, and was almost a charter member,
treated me worse than that when I felt like God had called me to go
back. It was the same church organization that I had grown up in, but
in another state. I had been a Sunday school teacher, a youth leader,
and served in other capacities when I was in my twenties in this same
church. Over the years this church had it's ups and downs. Members
would come, and go. It was an unexpected calling when my husband and
I both felt God had sent us back. From the first day we attended
until one year later, we both had a struggle to stay there. But we
both was determined to stay the course. God kept saying go farther
out into the water. We did, but finally we got the message from God
that it was time to leave. We left with our bodies, but our hearts
stayed there. After we left many more began to leave. It took 18
years of that pastor's ruling to all but close the church doors.
I am using this summary to
include in my request to God to destroy all the evil that has
overwhelmed His great creation. I feel so positive that God is doing
just that. In recent days I have had things happen to me that has got
me rejoicing to the mountain tops. With all the terrible news that
looks like America is headed for a downfall, and people dying by the
thousands, fear has flooded our country, and nobody knows what to do,
God's people who have remained faithful are being comforted through
it all. No we do not know where this is leading, but we do know God
will never leave, not forsake His own. And somehow I feel victorious.
God Bless
