“Beware Of Danger Signs” More, and more each day I'm seeing happen what I feared would happen since the beginning of the Corona Virus . I didn't claim to know every little detail, but I knew there would be no end to the awful effects of this virus. God said in the beginning when the Israelite's continued to worship idols, and do all the other acts of sin possible, that He would destroy them all . He said He would send wars letting people die by swords. He would send famine's, and diseases. We have seen terrible wars, and starvation for years, but the diseases we have dealt with in the past have been as quick to end as the wars, and starvation that reached the extreme of normal. I believed it was revealed to me that this COVID 19 disease was a man made weapon with intentions to destroy people for many years to come. I announced this revelation in the first part of it's discovery. Many died from this disease before it was officially announced. Many more died while a vaccine was being created. Then after the COVID 19 shots were being given people still were dying. The theory being that not as many were dying, and those who had taken the shot were less apt to die. The evil workers of iniquity were desperate to gain power over God's faithful people, and came up with the idea of scaring people in order to control them. They shut down the economy, and started making masks by the millions. They closed schools, and were working around the clock to come up with more scare tactics. It was some time later before I gave in to taking the shot. Only then did I give in because I knew we would be forced to before it ended, and I was sure my God said go ahead and He would take care of me. I was working for the state in Home Health Care, so I was required to get the shot. Five hours after I got the second shot I wound up in the Emergency Room at the Hospital. I was told I was having a heart attack, and was sent to Amarillo to have a stint put in. Twenty one years prior to that time I had had four heart by-passes, and had never had anything happen to me physically since. I worked in the yard, and went like a house a fire every since my by-pass surgery. It will have been one year ago this April since I had the stint put in, and have battled with heart trouble every since. I can only do a little bit of walking at a time without resting. I am one of many who I know personally that are having problems like never before the shots were given them. God is taking care of me, but if he hadn't of been I believe I would have been buried by now. My future predictions is every person who has had those shots will continue to die much sooner than before. My spiritual reason is because God is allowing this to happen because He said He would destroy all ungodly people, and He keeps His Word. He is in control, and if you still think He is not part of this epidemic, you better thing again. God Bless Myrtle Jean Sharp

“Old Things Pass Away All Things Become New” Where do I sit while I wait for the Pearly Gates to open for me? In my home without friend or foe to accompany me? In the church where God has been shut out? In the social gatherings where the wise have been made fools? In the educational meetings where the representatives of parent's children have denied a right to parents anymore? In the voting centers where our votes are selected by scanners who make sure they get their candidates in? In the courts where some of the judges are either transgender or have children who are? In the workplace where if you are not willing to be controlled by unknown jabs then you are fired? Are you telling me we are not living in a New World Order which has been in the making for quite some time? The wise have been made fools by trying to be nice to everyone, not calling out their evil ideas. Therefore we weary Pilgrims are not so proud anymore of our graceful journey to Freedom Land. Could there possible be another Pilgrim Journey in the future to an even more blessed Land of Freedom? I believe it therefore, I can be content to live in my own skin until such time. I will not be changing anything in my life to provoke my Heavenly Father. He will give me strength to travel on. I realize I am older and don't have as much time to be tormented by evil demons as do our younger generation who will suffer much longer. I cannot say specifically who is to blame for this dangerous world we now live in, because certainly The Almighty God is still in control. He definitely is a just God, so I will accept my unhappy feelings when they fall on me, or my loved ones. There is a time for everything even the mistakes of the innocent must be corrected. That Great Judge will decide who was innocent, and who were foolish to think they had the right to do what they wanted to. The punishment will be nothing but justified. I believe He will even lower the sentence upon good behavior. Where do you think our courts, and law system got their knowledge of how to make a court case? Only the bible provided that. I call out to all sleeping Christians wake up and start teaching again the Word of God. If God can't depend on you, then who will be His helpers to reform the foolish? Make yourself available I pray. I may not be accepted by everyone, but if I can but help anyone I am a winner, God Bless Myrtle Jean Sharp

“No Scars In Heaven” Even death does not cease a mothers love for her child. The story has been told many times about the son who loved his mother more than he loved himself. One day he fell in love with a beautiful young Indian Princess, and married her. His new bride was extremely jealous of his mother, and told him unless he killed his mother she would leave him. He chose his Princess bride over his loving mother, and killed her. Sometime later the son fell, and hurt himself slightly. His mother appeared to him and asked, “are you hurt?” My heart is touched every time I hear this story. But I can identify with that dead mother. A child cannot kill a mother's love if she truly loved that child the way God made mothers to be. But what an awful price mothers sometimes have to pay. 1 Peter 4-7-8. But the end of all things is at hand: be ye therefore sober, and watch unto prayer. And above all things have fervent charity among yourselves; for charity shall cover the multitude of sins. I loved my father and mother dearly. Although I was not not that perfect child that every parent wishes to have, I did respect my parents. I shared my blessings with them until they died. Today I think of them, and recall my childhood upbringing every day I live. If I could call them back I would do more for them, because I see more clearly now where I failed them in so many ways. But I do not have to live with the guilt of calling them ugly names, and blaming them for my own mistakes. The bible tells us to “Honor Thy Father, and Thy Mother.” To those who think there is no judgment day coming this message will not mean a thing to you. But I say you cannot believe the bible, and not believe a judgment day is not coming. To those of us who are still willing to take the abuse of evil people without hitting back, we shall overcome all fear on that day. However, if we try to make others pay for their mistreatment to us, we may be in the same guilt phase as they who cursed us. Love is the greatest of all commandants. Do we have enough of it? Have we caused someone else to miss the most important thing in life, love thy neighbor as thyself? Wounds do heal, but scars never disappear. So to all of those who are hurting at this time, remember the Cross that Jesus died upon is still as real as it was then. Close your eyes, and see the Son of God hanging there, then say to yourself, I can bear my cross just like Jesus did. God Bless Myrtle Jean Sharp

“What A little Child Shall Lead Them” Yesterday I posted on my blog the wisdom of Noah who built the Ark. He used a dove to let him know when it was safe to go out of the Ark. Maybe Noah could give our scientist of today a lesson or two. However, is it the lack of knowledge our modern day scientist scramble with today, or is it a greater knowledge on how to depopulate the world? The latter is definitely what is happening. My own prediction is within a short time the world population will be less by billions than it is now. I read in the bible that before the end of time one-third of the world's population will be destroyed at one time. Revelation 9, verse 15. I do believe we are close to that great, and notable day. I do not expect another “Noah,” miracle to happen. But in other ways I believe God is still giving wisdom to humble, God fearing, believing, Christians who could be used even like the little dove of Noah's time. When God says one-third of the world's population will be destroyed at one time, only a fool would not believe it. God already knows how many fools will be destroyed. He already knows how He will make it happen. The scientist of today have already been given the formula. I believer that is why the evil, liar's who have already been caught time, and time again deceiving the people, are getting away with it. God's plan will happen regardless of the attempts to stop it. Why, you may ask, would God do such a terrible thing. Because He is not going to always allow people to abuse His Holy Spirit by living ungodly lives forever. The disgrace people have caused God will soon be paid for. When people say to me. Oh we are living in a different time now. Everyone is doing it. I say to them but that is why we are living in a different time with murderers, being rewarded for killing good people. Yes, times are different, but Who helped it become so evil? The very ones who were taught against those, “everyone is doing it things.” I believe that includes those who accepted the “everyone is doing it ways.” Those who taught their children not to live ungodly lives, but somehow accepted it when their children ignored that teaching. We can still love our children, but if they choose to disown us because we will not accept their ungodly ways, then we must let them be ruled by The Almighty Father. We are no longer a loving parent to them. It was their choice to leave us. God Bless Myrtle Jean Sharp

“What About A Bird messenger” Does the wisdom of Noah in Old Testament days apply to Saints of God in New Testament times? I say to you yes it does, and even more. When God stopped the rain the water began to go down, and after one hundred and fifty days the boat came to rest on the top of a mountain in the Ararat range. After forty days more Noah opened a window and sent out a raven. It did not come back but kept flying around until the water was completely gone. Then Noah sent out a dove to see if the water had gone down. The dove flew back to the boat, and Noah reached out and took it in. He waited another seven days then sent the same dove out again. It returned to him in the evening with a fresh olive leaf in it's beak. Noah knew that the water had gone down more, so he waited another seven days and sent the same dove out again. This time the dove did not return, Genesis 8-12. God said to Noah go out with your family, and the animals so they can reproduce and cover the earth. May I ask how long has it been since you have heard a sermon preached on Noah, and The Ark? I dare say most of our younger generation have never heard a sermon preached on it. Yes they have see movies, or read story books which only give a fairy-tale-like version of it, but have never heard the Holy Spirit's version of it. Who can we blame for our children, and grandchildren living the life of a way faring son? They do hear about the forgiveness of the father to his way-faring son, but how about the awful circumstances that happened while away faring? There are circumstances to every mistake that one makes. We live with our past even though The Heavenly Father forgives us. The evil seed that has been growing for hundreds of years are overtaking the good seeds by one hundred to one. Why were good seeds stopped being planted? Mom, and Dad, can you answer that? The liberal left that's being dealt with today is an example of upbringing by evil parents. Who will answer for the deadly sins of modern behaved believers that so many proudly possess? Sure we get criticized for being old fashioned, even called delusional, but does that give us an excuse to avoid God's command to us? There is no common ground, either it's God's way or no way. I'm not saying I, or anyone else is always right, but surly there are still enough Godly people left to teach the bible in it's entirety. God is not just a God of love, He is a Judge of the whole world. God Bless Myrtle Jean Sharp

“The Dove Delivered A Message” 1 John, 4-14. And we have seen and do testify that the Father sent his son to be the Saviour of the world. 15, Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God dwelleth in him, and he in God. 16, And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him. Psalms 26,-12. JUDGE me, O Lord; for I have walked in mine integrity: I have trusted also in the Lord; therefore I shall not slide. 2, Examine me, O Lord, and prove me; try my reins and my heart. 3. For thy lovingkindness is before mine eyes: and I have walked in thy truth. I have not sat with vain persons, neither will I go in with dissemblers. 5. I have hated the congregation of evil doers; and will not sit with the wicked. 6. I will wash mine hands in innocency: so will I compass thine altar, O Lord: 7. That I may publish with the voice of thanksgiving, and tell of all wondrous works. 8. Lord I have loved the habitation of thy house, and the place where thine honour dwelleth. 9. Gather not my soul with sinners, nor my life with bloody men: 10. In whose hands is mischief, and their right hand is full of bribes. 11. But as for me, I will walk in mine integrity: redeem me, and be merciful into me. 12. My feet standeth in an even place: in the congregations will I bless the Lord. It is my pleasure today to write another message from God by King David. I may have a lot of unfinished homework that I did not turn in, but it is not to late to play catch-up. The inspired Word of God is always effective in some way or another. We will not fail the test if we put our heart into it. If we have been given an assignment we best do it with all our heart, and soul.. God's Word does not return unto Him void. If for some reason this message did not reach the intended representant It has still been delivered. The messenger is not failing to do what they were assigned to do. Like the author of the song, “Amazing Grace,” I believe in writing what is on your heart. That song writer had been left without one member of his family, after an terrific accident, but he still wrote about God's amazing grace. If I should be put in such a place as that songwriter, I will still sing Amazing Grace. I trust my message will detour anything of disaster that might lie ahead for who ever may be needing it. Sowing seeds of faith is a Christian's job. Lord please help my harvest to be bountiful. God Bless Myrtle Jean Sharp

“A Serious Matter” Today has made me more positive that spring is not far away. I awoke this morning to 6 below 0 weather, but by 10 a m it was already 10 above. The snow began to melt, and I was a new person by noon. At this time 3 o'clock p m, the temperature is 36 degree. The sun has shown brightly all day. However, on my way home from work today I saw piles of snow 15 to 20 feet high, It will take some time for all of that to melt. We do have a great group of snow plow workers here, and they are always quick to clean the streets. I stocked up again on groceries, but the shelves were near all empty. Others must have beat me to the store. I think there were more stocker's putting up goods as fast as they could, than customers grabbing it off the shelf. I think America is outgrowing her demand to serve her people well. As far as I can see things looks pretty rough. The Almighty God is our only hope. I have no doubt but what He will handle the situation well. I still sing myself to sleep every night. How I love those good old songs we sang as a child. I know many of them by heart. They tell a story that modern chatter can not compare. Give me that old time religion. Is anyone besides me trying to find bible answers to what is going on in the would today? World wide people are wearing face masks, and I am so disturbed about it. I have never read anything in the bible about such a thing as this ever coming to pass. Yet this is too big to not pay attention to it. Have we gotten so far away from God that He is not using prophesy to talk to His people anymore? To me this is something that The Holy Spirit should be focusing on at every Church meeting. Where are the messengers of God anymore? Why are they silent? I'm not one to believe in going on the news media and listening to preachers whom are not getting their prophesy correct. I believe this should come from the local church. I also know that many spirit filled Saints in the local churches are not always proper in prophesying God's message, but the body of Jesus believers usually can tell the difference. I do believe God's will would be for people to be more open in waiting for Him to speak to them. I will be the first to admit that I would rather God use someone else to demonstrate His powerful presence. But I have been the anointed one before when I had no intentions of it in the least. It is an awesome feeling, but one must be called for that purpose. I really don't feel like I have been that reluctant, but have not felt that calling in many years. What if we all gave more awareness of the need to be informed. I am just in wonder, and hope someone else wonders too. God Bless Myrtle Jean Sharp

“Boys Buried Alive” Sure enough it happened. I have a large snowdrift in my front yard, and three little boys just now ran jumping into it, and burying up clear to their heads. I was on the phone, and couldn't take a picture, but it was so funny. The snow is like powder, and is blowing like crazy. It hasn't been over 10 degree all day. I am too old to appreciate this kind of weather anymore. However, I know it is appreciated by most everyone. The ground has been too dry to push the shovel into to make a hole deep enough to plant some tulips. When this snow melts we should be seeing some green grass soon. Then the yard work begins. It takes lots of hard work to keep two big yards mowed, trimmed, and watered. I have to hire most of it done. Even then there is much work that I have to do myself. Flower beds can be a lot of trouble. Weeds just grow with the flowers, and have to be pulled out daily. I love tending the flowers, but cannot do much at one time anymore. The chopping out wild grass, and pulling up volunteer flower growth is too much for my weak heart to handle. Then the large, heavy rocks that have always been a part of my flower garden are getting heaver every year. So what, I'm ready to try it again especially since my daughter-in-law and son did so much to prepare things for spring weather when they were here Christmas. It happened to be summer-like weather, and they did a lot of cleaning up. The weather was too bad for me to take food to my son's house today. He told me not to try and get over there. Now it looks as though it may be as bad tomorrow as it was today. My food bank is o k, but I don't know about his. It all depends on how long this bad weather lasts. I thank God for warm homes, and never failing electricity. Television, and computers, I Phones, and good neighbors are priceless during these times. I have two new books that were given me as presents, but since my eyes are so bad I can't enjoy reading anymore. I do manage to read one chapter of the bible every night, but that is about all. I have put off cataract surgery about as long as I can. Living in a far distance from eye surgery doctors makes it very inconvenient to get done. I do very well with everything except reading much at a time. Like my poor hearing I have learned to live with my poor eyesight. It's not that bad for my age. God Bless Myrtle Jean Sharp

“What Will Your Answer Be” It's been very cold all day today. The highest it's been today is 16 degree with it starting to drop lower now. We got some snow last night, but not much. I canceled my trip to the grocery store, and cooked a big pot of ham hock, and beans. I also made a pot of chili. I have to make sure my son, Chuck, has enough to eat in case the weather stays bad several days. I can make it to his house tomorrow, but no where else will I be going. The chocolate chip cookies I made yesterday will be the only dessert we will have. A pan of cornbread is all I like having everything ready to go. Oops, I just remembered I don't have any eggs. That's alright because I have cornbread in the freezer. So glad there's always a back-up plan. I read where church services have been canceled for this evening. I think that is a good idea. I just rescheduled a Dr's. Appoint in Amarillo. In time we will be enjoying nice weather again. Like I have known about this bad weather coming since yesterday, and embraced for it, I am also doing my best to embrace for another drastic war with Russia. Unless God is not willing for it to happen, we are sure to be engaged in such a deadly war very soon. In my opinion God is not near through punishing the disgusting people who have ignored Him like a dead rattlesnake. I believe this is a long time punishment phase that our Merciful God has put off far too long. He is angry now to the limit. No one knows the future, but according to the Holy Bible, God is not going to let evil people continue to go unpunished. How could anyone say God has not be merciful enough when this Country has made Sodom, and Gomorrah look like Sainthood? So many sleazy, corrupt, smart-aleck idiots have put God to the test. They deserve what they will be getting. I feel sorry for them, but I am agreeing with God when He says enough is enough. Murders, child molesters, same sex lovers, body ink injected trash marks, gender changers, unmarried sex performers, and the list goes no and on. I am sorry to disagree with those who say everything is alright because Jesus came to earth to do away with sin, so everything is now just fine. I hope I have never been guilty of making anyone believe that. I would rather be hated by idiots, than loved by them. I am sure that these kind of remarks are targets of kill, but I truly believe all Christians have a duty to spread the Gospel of Christ. He did not approve with any of the things I have mentioned, plus a lot more I didn't mention. Look out for a great awaking. God Bless Myrtle Jean Sharp

“It's All About Tomorrow” Here I sit in my warm cozy home waiting for the snow to start. The weather man predicted hazardous weather conditions, with several inches of snow. We need some moister, but I prefer rain. Ice and sleet are suppose to be coming our way soon. I plan to stay inside till all is clear, and warmer. I had to help my son today get his place cleaned up, and food to last several days. The weather was fine till I got back home. After checking on a friend in another town, it was past time for me to write my blog. I do not have a lot to talk about, but do have a lot to be thankful for. My friend had been sick for three days, but was feeling well today. As soon as I finish this blog I will be making a big batch of chocolate chip cookies. Eating goodies and drinking hot chocolate, and coffee is what I do best when I'm home bound. Truly it was a blessing to have had four nice days of 64 degree weather before today. We are so fortunate in this part of the country to have mostly mild winters. I am satisfied with the mixture we have of nice, and not so nice. Tomorrow would have been my husband and I 72 anniversary. On February 2, 1950 we were married in Elk City, Oklahoma. He has been departed from me for nine years, but still lives in my heart. Until he drew his last breath he was telling me how much he loved me. Those words are etched on my heart. I do not know what the future holds, but I know who holds the future. I feel sure that someday we will understand what life on earth was all about. I trust I am fulfilling the plan God had for me. That is my hearts desire. Sometimes we grope around like in darkness, not knowing what to do, but soon the light starts shinning on us again. It is then that we know we are still on the right path. Jesus is the Light of the World. In Him there is no darkness. I love to tell His story. So now I'm off to the kitchen to make my earthly. daily bread. The flesh, and blood body must eat, drink, and be merry. When the spirit leaves this body you can do with it what you wish. Again I say TRUST IN THE LORD. God Bless Myrtle Jean Sharp

“Gone But Not Forgotten” It is so sad to be reading the news about Cheslie Kryst's death yesterday, Sunday January 30, on my birthday. Supposedly she leaped from an ninth story apartment terrace, but one news media states that the last time she was seen she was on a 29 story apartment terrace. She was living in the Manhattan 60 story Orion Building stated one news source. She was 30 years old, and a black 2019 Miss USA pageant winner. Her father was Polish, and her mother was African American. Her mother is married to another man now who Cheslie refers to as her father. Cheslie had beauty, intelligence, and fame, as stated by several news outlets. She left a note just before her death saying, “May this day bring you rest and peace.” I am aware of the epidemic of suicides in this world we live in now. I scream out every night to my Lord to help me to help them. I feel their misery, and I would do anything to help them get through it. The reason for much of it is caused by would be preventive medicines. Even though you wouldn't call a lot of it medicine, it was someones idea of finding peace enough to keep going. An incurable addiction nothing less. It finally reaches the point that no matter how much one increases the dosage the short time ease is no longer there. Death is the last hope. I believe there comes times when we all are met in a scrummage position. The advantage the Christians have is our Great God. We don't have to grab the bottle of pills or alcohol to beat the giants. I have talked to many ex druggies, or alcoholics who have told me no matter how long they have been drug free there still is a daily struggle. I have known some who finally was overwhelmed by temptation, and took their lives, even after years of fighting the habit. I am in no way referring to Cheslie Kryst, but surly she did have a problem that made her give up. Most of us can say we also have to fight daily against flesh and blood. We should never let one day pass without we thank God for keeping us free from man-made solutions to our problems. Of course we must use common sense, but only God can give us that also. I am being tried more and more every day by that old evil one to break my faith in God, but I am determined to hold out to the end. Grieve, yes. Think irrationally, yes. But deny my victory, no never. I can always get up, and walk away from it. In fact it walks away from me when it sees I have God by my side. Believe me friends, and loved ones, God is real, and you need to wake up to that fact. God Bless Myrtle Jean Sharp

“The Last Chapter Of The Noodle Series” Today is the last of the noodle series. Chicken pot pie was made from the last bit of chicken I could scrape from the bone. All the vegetables, and broth that the chicken was wisp into made a good one dish meal. The cherry with pineapple jello completes the need for pretty. No more chicken for some time. Ground chuck will have to be it now for awhile. I have lots of a variety of ground beef. If you noticed yet I am changing my stories from politics to food. Not near as much stress involved. However, God still hears all about my views on politics. He finally got it across to me that He was in control, and I need to let Him take care of we Christians. The best news I had heard in a long time. Let us continue to eat, drink, and be merry. I still have my predictions, but that is not saying it is the best that can happen. I trust it is, but I still have my Lord's Word, He will take care of his own. As long as He is answering my prayers, like every day, I am getting through all the sorrow, and grief I have had. very well. It is nothing less than amazing. My cup runneth over. I don't know what I'm waiting for, but I am going through a time of, “be patient, and your long-time prayer will be answered.” Which one? I have several yet that I would like answered. Or maybe I just don't know what I'm really asking for. I will be patient, and hope everyone else is patient with me. “Not my will, but thine be done.” Let me be clear, God is allowing some things to happen to me that I have to wonder if He knows or not. Because it is so unbelievable. Yes, He knows, but I probably never will. If I need more of a discipline-type attitude I know God will provide it, but I never in many years had a mean like spirit to be part of me. In the beginning God gave me a reason to love everyone even those who were unlovable. He gave me reason to understand why people can be mean sometimes. He told me in the very beginning that, “vengeance is Mine, I will repay.” When God says it, it is easy to ignore the abuse. All I can say to that is, God will repay, but woe to that one who is guilty of such ungodly acts. I have seen it happen too many times to count. I loved everyone of those who were punished, but God is no respecter of persons. He loved them more than I. God Bless Myrtle Jean Sharp

“Noodle Doodle You Get Today” The day of noodles is over. Not one noodle was left to put in the freezer. God surly must have blessed them. I'm trusting Him for many more blessings. Today He blessed my energy level. Cleaned house, and washed, dried, and put away a large load of laundry. Cleaned the big bathroom, and emptied the trash. I hope my sweeper will stay put in the middle of the floor until tomorrow. The throw rugs will have to sleep in a strange place tonight also. But most of all I'm thankful for a beautiful, sunshine day. It is 64 degree, and no wind at 3:00 pm. I may think of something good to cook for dinner tomorrow. I have T-bone steaks in the freezer, but don't think I want to light up the grill. Tomorrow is my birthday, but T-bones are for something special. I would rather take the day off, and be praying for my sweet niece who will be having a memorial service for her loving husband who passed away a few days ago from a sudden aneurysm to the brain. He was the joy of her life, and so was she to him. He was 56 years old, and worked every day with no prior health issues. This was a terrible shock to everyone who knew him. His service will be in Fort Worth, Texas at a church he attended regularly. I cannot go, because my health is too bad, but I will be there in spirit. I have gotten peace over this, but I'm praying for my niece to get peace. The birthday card I received today from my daughter was meant to cheer me up, and it certainly did. An old lady with brush rollers in her hair, holding a cup of coffee. My daughter remembers me as being just such a mother. Brush rollers have long been gone, but I have a shoe box full still in my bathroom cabinet.. I sent her a picture of them and asked her to hunt for me some plastic pins so I can use them again. She thought that was funny, but I was serious. I thought this would solve the problem of being bald. I do have a plan to use them so they will curl even a few hairs. How many mothers have the joy of having a daughter so determined to make her mother laugh, and forget to be sad so much. She has been a blessing since the day she was born. Her dad did a good job of spoiling her. However, I take part of the blame. She never had a sister, and she kinda holds that against us. We did try, but it turned out to be another brother, which she still worships today. She was 11 when he was born, so she pretended he was a girl for a little while. She rolled his hair, but it didn't take long for him to get the message. She had two boys of her own, but now she has two granddaughters. She is a happy mom, grandmother, and wife.

“Chicken Egg Noodles For Dinner” Cooking is the subject today. It caused me to be late with my blog, but when you're hungry for home made chicken noodles, that's alright. After frying the whole chicken yesterday, except the boney pieces, I decided to cook them today and make egg noodles. This involves a lot of time, but they are worth it. I had some chicken thighs in the freezer so I was able to have a pan full of rich broth. The chicken is still cooking so I have to wait awhile before I put in the home made noodles. I cut them as thin as tissue paper and as small as toothpicks. No quick, tricky way did I use. Cut one noodle at a time. The first time I ever did that. The freezer will keep some of these ready-cooked noodles for another time. Sorry you can't come and help eat them up now. Everyone is afraid of COVID, and it's a good thing to be cautious of it. I can't say I'm proud of what I accomplished today because outside of cooking I have done almost nothing. I had several things on my agenda today, but as usual will try again another day. If the weather stays good that will help my, want to, a lot. I have been upset every since I had to cancel my Dr. appointment in Amarillo last Thursday because of weather conditions. Now I have to wait another six weeks. By faith I will fair it fine. The COVID is so bad in Amarillo it probably was a good thing the weather turned bad. However, a friend had gone to a lot of trouble to keep me overnight so I could be there early for the appointment. She isn't too well herself, but she made sure I would have a good time while there with her. I think she deserves a great blessing from God. I won't list my plans for tomorrow because somehow they never seem to work out anymore. Maybe I will just list my accomplishments. I can say right now I am happy, and although I will have my 89th birthday this Sunday. I still feel pretty young. I'm sure I will be alone, but phone calls are all I need. I'm staying home due to the spike in COVID here in my city. I am thankful to have been freed from that awful virus, and I will do my part to keep it away. My heart does have great sadness to all who have not been so lucky, but we must keep trusting God. About the only advise I want to give others is TRUST GOD. He is in control.

“Measure Me Now” No greater feeling can anyone have than to know the One who created the world and everything in it, including you and I, knows us by name. He knows how many hairs we have left on our heads. I don't think it would take long to count mine, but I really don't think God is one to appreciate jokes. He knows if we will be alive tomorrow or not. He knows everything we have forgotten, and will bring it to our memory some day. All things have been written down, not just the good. He knows how many times He has told me to Trust Him when I was afraid to keep walking in the dark. Being one of His little ones I believe He understands why He has to keep telling me to Trust Him. If we should live to be five hundred years old some of us would have not grown much spiritually. I believe that is why we so often are called children of God. I need to see, and feel the presence of my Father God, and His Son, Jesus Christ, every day. I have been able to do this every since I first met them both many years ago. Same face, and same nail scared hand,. is with me every time I pray. Yet I am in the human flesh, and must bear the fleshly pain. Jesus did it, and so must we. I am writing these words because in the past year I have lost several precious loved ones so unexpectedly, and many good friends who left me in shock upon hearing about it. Yes, I have been overcome with grief, but I am slowly coming back to peace again. It is a daily battle, but one day with me is like a thousand years with God. I had an unexpected visitor this week, and I almost become as a stone. But that little messenger boy whispered, it's alright, hold your peace. I feel sure I had a reason for this visitor, since I hadn't seen them in years. We had never been close friends, and we did not have much in common. But all went well, and I am trusting God for the future outcome. I am a believer God does strange things in strange places sometimes. Lord help me not to speculate, and only Trust You. I only want to fulfill my mission here on earth, and You are the Engineer. We may not understand now, but someday we will understand it all. We walk by faith, and not by sight. We all need more wisdom while we stumble through the wreckage. God Bless Myrtle Jean Sharp

“Overcoming The Shock” Wow, I can't believe how many days I have missed writing a blog. But when the sleepy brain can't seem to wake up there is nothing I can do about it. Nature does have a way of controlling our lives. I have not been sick, but maybe that is because I have been taking it easy the past few days. Going out as little as possible, and making sure I eat a balanced diet every day. It's like I watch the clock a lot thinking soon everything will be back to normal. But something tells me we will never be the same as a nation, as a person, or as a controller of our minds. It's time now to trust God even when we have a blank-like discerned mind. If I remember right God struck Saul blind while on his way to Damascus to continue his persecution of the Jews. It was during this blindness that God was able to change Saul's life into a life that would become one of the most faithful servants Jesus ever had. Saul's name was even changed to Paul. While we might wonder today what is happening to our long time history of Jesus Worshipers, we need to just think of Paul. Not that we were ever against Jesus such as Paul was, but because God has a plan that must be carried out. Whatever we go through is for a reason that only God knows. He will never leave us but monetarily. I feel safe to say we must be completely fulfilling our dedication to God for Him to continue to use us. As long as I am well, contented, happy, and one hundred percent trusting God, why should I long to go back to the days of long gone? God will not let me cry more than I can stand. He promised me that in his Word, and it has always been right. Cry yes, grieve yes, those are the Jesus traits that all Christians should have. Jesus also promised us that some day all tears will be wiped away. I can wait, and be contented till He comes for me. And when He is ready for me to write, He will tell me what to say. Otherwise I will stay silent, and watch the clock do it's job, tick on. My only work today was fix my breakfast, monitor my blood pressure, call a friend to check on. I rested a lot, and then got up, cup up a fryer, and fried chicken for Chuck, and I. Guess what, for the first time in several days I was given some words to write down and post on a blog. I feel like I'm partly getting back to normal after so many alarming things has happened in recent days that take the joy away for awhile. It's bigger than most of us realize, but remember to Trust in God. God Bless Myrtle Jean Sharp

“The Parable Of The Sheep” JOHN ch.10, 1-6 Jesus said, “I am telling you the truth:the man who does not enter the sheep pen by the gate, but climbs in some other way, is a thief and a robber. The man who goes in through the gate is the shepherd of the sheep. The gatekeeper opens the gate for him, the sheep hear his voice as he calls his own sheep by name, and he leads them out. When he has brought them out, he goes ahead of them, and the sheep follow him, because they know his voice. They will not follow someone else, instead they will run away from such a person, because they do not know his voice.” Jesus told them this parable, but they did not understand what he meant. You need to read the rest of chapter 10 to fully understand what Jesus was saying. The part that took me aback was when he told them he was the shepherd and all other shepherds before him were thieves, and robbers. In my opinion there is no other way to heaven, but to follow Jesus. How many of us are actually following Jesus teachings, the entire New Testament? Just to believe in him is not saying you are following him. Here is where so many people drop the ball in someone else s court. You must hold onto that ball till you can make the goal in your own court. Yes, I played basketball in high school, and I am fully aware how hard it is to keep that opposing side from stealing your ball. My coach was looking on, and I knew what he had told me before the game. Thieves, and robbers were in the game also, and you must be smart enough to lock them out. This game of Christians verses evil doers is in full swing, and there is no time-outs allowed. I am tired, and need to rest, but I cannot stay in the game if I give into defeat. My prayer is, Jesus you accepted me as one of your players, and have given me spiritual strength all these years. I never gave up, and you never gave up on me, but the game isn't over and I need some time-out to talk to you personally. The thieves, and robbers are getting more brave every day. They are very wooing to the Christians, and have stolen much of their faith. You already know this Lord, but we need help to win this game/war, against evil. If you have a replacement for me Lord, please let me know. I'm no scorekeeper Lord, but maybe I can furnish water for the fighters. God Bless Myrtle Jean Sharp

“Ventilator Times” I have been sitting here at my computer for some time waiting for the Lord to put words in my mind to write on my blog today. I wonder if I am failing to cooperate with God, and write what He really wants me to. I have opened my bible to two different places trying to get something I though was needed, but neither scripture seemed appropriate for what I feel is needed. I am focusing on a revival miracle, which neither of those scriptures seemed fitting. The first random scripture was telling how God added 15 years to King Hezekiah's life after telling him he was going to die. The other was from Paul, Silas, and Timothy talking to the Thessalonian church, and praising them for their good works, and faithfulness, after being persecuted so much. How could either of these scriptures excite to the point of Christians rising to their feet, and start dancing all over the church? Which is what I expect when a revival is happening. Been there, and done that. It's a moving of the Holy Spirit, and not of self. I must admit that both of these events were enough to make people shout, but we need a direct visit from the Holy Spirit in our churches to fill the place with joy, and thanksgiving. This may never happen again because the persecution the Thessalonians got might have been minor to what people would receive today. However, whether we accept, or disapprove, there will be a price to pay, saith the Lord. I feel so sure that a Luke-warm church will not be accepted by Almighty God. He said He would spew them out of His mouth. So where do we stand with God today? At his feet, or at a distance? Are we hypocrites, or are we true Saints of God? Are we free from fear, or are we bound by it. I agree to a certain extent. with some who say the church has gone to sleep, and will soon be buried. But Like King Hezekiah we can be given more years to live if we pray the prayer the King prayed. “Lord I have lived a good life. I have done what you asked me to do. I don't want to die.” God heard his prayer, and added 15 years to his life. Can we ask God to extend the life of our church, and make it a blessing for the whole world to talk about? Otherwise we won't be on life support much longer. Sorry I cannot lie against my personal feelings, and offer you a mansion on a resort, such as some preachers are doing today. They get the millions, and the donors get the scrub's. God Bless Myrtle Jean Sharp

“God Is No Fool” Today has been one of my crying days. I have listened to the song “The Only Scars In Heaven” by the Casting Crowns several times today. I don't know exactly what is happening to this big world we live in, but something is definitely changing the way we have lived for so many years. I think it is more real now after listening to a prophet speak on the internet awhile ago. I didn't catch his name, and I can't find him again, but he spoke almost exactly like I have been led to believe now for several months. It was about real demons are here with us now like never before. I have never been one to put a lot of faith in prophets in our times now, but the bible does tell us there are still real prophets. The man today seemed to have it all together like I have never heard before. I almost thought he was reading my mind. This is hard for me to say, but I do believe we are facing a time when if you are not very close to God, you will give up your life in order to be free from tormenting demons. The fact is there will be no way you can be free from them even if you die. WOW, sound awful? Yes it does, but who knows a demon is a demon, and anyway or anything they can do to torment people is what they will do. This applies even to God's own true believers. I somehow believe this treatment has been approved by God to test his own people. We have coasted along far too long. Now real life-like demons are here to make us either get serious with God, or be kidnapped by them. I truly believe we are just at the tip of the iceburg, and I have already experienced more than I can hardly handle. We need to be thinking more seriously about the songs of praise that are offered today for a way to worship God. We need to be making a joyful noise unto the Lord, instead of making sure we have every note perfect. What in the world has come over the Saints of God that they substituted the Glory of singing and made it into a begging session like they just can't get what they want? Is pleading for God's mercy more important than praising Him for His already mercy? Why not get those musical instruments tuned up like in olden days, and play and shout for the glory of God? I believe we have very little time left to show God we are putting Him first instead of demons. Can we just have a “Victory In Jesus,” song once in awhile? God Bless Myrtle Jean Sharp

“Peace Peace Please Jesus” I sit here in my warm home this evening just taking in all the bad news coming from every direction. I was very saddened this morning to hear a special nephew had just been taken to the hospital with a major stroke. He had been put on a ventilator. He had to be one of God's special workers also. The longer time goes on the more I am becoming confused about the global disaster that has, and is killing millions. I do believe in the wrath of God, but not to those who work so hard telling others to get prepared for God's wrath on evil men. My nephew was a devout Christian man, and now he is in danger of losing his life. Age 50 plus, but less than 60, is a young age to have a major stroke, possible aneurysm to the brain. This person had all covid 19 shots, and no previous health issues to worry about. This surprise was just one of the several I heard already today. I have heard bad news that I was not surprised at because I read God's Word every night, and He tells us these bad things are going to happen as a punishment to people who do not take Him seriously. Reading in Ezekiel chapter 3, last night I read where God made Ezekiel a watchman over others. He said it like this to Ezekiel,”if a good man begins to do evil and I put him in a dangerous situation, he will die if you do not warn him. He will die because of his sins... I will not remember the good he did... and I will hold you responsible for his death. If you do warn a good man not to sin and he listens to you and doesn't sin he will stay alive, and your life will also be spared.” How do you feel about the Old Testament? I believe in all of the Bible, not just parts of it. However, I believe in wisdom God said He would supply if anyone lacked it, and would ask of Him. All good things come from God, not from our own way of thinking. I believe many will die in their own way of thinking because they were too righteous to give an inch to others who believed they were living according to God's plan for them. Sound confusing? Yes it does, how can we tell others they are sinning (Ezekiel 3) if we are sure we are right? First we must be chosen by God to be a prophet like Ezekiel was. Second, Jesus, in the new Testament, chose all of his followers to proclaim His way, and preach His gospel to every creature, and to every nation. He did not say to judge them, but if we preach His Gospel, they will judge themselves if they truly are serious. The best way to teach Jesus' Gospel is to live our life as an example. But not claiming to be perfect. God Bless Myrtle Jean Sharp

“ Two Extra Biscuits This Morning” It has warmed up to 43 degree in Perryton, Texas at 4 o'clock today. It was so cold this morning till I didn't get out and go to church. I have been content staying in my warm house all day. It looks like I may be staying in all next week. Sure am looking forward to spring. Just never did like winters, and especially since Covid was invented. However, week after next I have a doctor's appointment in Amarillo so will be driving the 130 miles one way for that. I did stock up on groceries before it turned cold. No worries there for awhile. The last time I bought groceries the shelves were pretty empty. But was able to get most of what I needed. Just praying we don't have another grocery shortage like when the Covid first hit. I will waste no time going back to the store again when it warms up a bit. Definitely do not want to be unprepared again. I'm glad I learned to cook at a very young age. Remember making biscuits at 6 and 7 years old when my mother had to be gone a day or two. Of course my dad was eyeing my every move. We were farmers, and farmer women cook most of what they eat. I loved watching my mother cook big meals, and it stuck with me. I love doing it myself now. I can make one biscuit or twenty. I can fry one potato or five pounds.”Tw I have cooking utensils that fits all needs. As long as the farmers are left free to work we shall have plenty to eat, but if another country takes control of us we shall suffer the great privilege we now have. Either way you look at the two chances we face now, I believe God will always be there for His own. He will make a way. He will increase our cup of flour to a gallon just like He did the widow in olden times. He is the same yesterday, today, and forever. But our attitude means the difference. We must thank Him for our food even in times of plenty. He is, always was, and always will be our great provider, our healer, and our everlasting joy. Don't frown on Him or He will frown on you. We get what we deserve, except sometimes I feel like I don't deserve all the good things He does for me. I never question the times I have to sit in the corner for awhile. My Heavenly Father is just, and fair. I will always love, and trust Him. God Bless Myrtle Jean Sharp

The new computer has decided to give me some trouble. The last blog I wrote was deleted without me asking it to, and even though I had saved it I could not find it anywhere. I was upset, and refused to write another one for several days. Those words just would not come back to me, so I took it that God did not want me publishing some of those. I am thankful for a guarding angle. At least my anger turned into something more important than my blog. I got started back on a painting I had put aside for several months. Every day I promised myself I would start again tomorrow, but it just never happened, The past two days I have been making much progress, and my anger has all vanished. I am reminded of the old saying, “when God closes one door He opens another.” My artistic desires need to stay positive, and now they are in full motion again. I have never see Amsterdam me it was a very sinful place. Well for sure it is very beautiful, but I don;t think I would ever want to go there. I have too much country in me. Laying aside all the bad talk about Amsterdam I am seeing some of the beautiful, exotic, vacation in person, nor could I find a picture of it that explained every detail it showed. So much of it was just a guess, but I am using my imagination and making an interesting depiction whether it's exact or not. I don't think Amsterdam could be more sinful than what I'm making it appear to be. My daughter and son-in-law told resorts made by man. I do not believe every person who visits there are bad. This can be said about all places even in America if you want to get judgmental about places of pleasure. So I will put my love for beauty into this awesome Amsterdam painting. If you are good at guessing you may even like the painting more. If you can believe my yard just got mowed today, January 8, 2022. My son called my mower, and I knew nothing about it. But I have to be so thankful for such sweet children. My yard is now ready for spring treatment which is coming up fast. I was ready to pay the man, but he didn't even come to the door. It was then that I knew my son, Kent, had called him after being here for Christmas. I am ready to publish this bit of news, and hoping it doesn't get deleted. May the new year keep blessing you, and filling your heart with joy. God Bless Myrtle jean Sharp

“A Train Is Coming Clear The Tracks” My leave of absence is over. Time for me to get back to my blog business. I am caught up on all my other business so now I am ready to chat full blast. So thankful for my friends at the Center who keep me caught up on everyone there. I learned today that two of our regulars have had the covid, and have been pretty sick. We are hoping they are out of the woods now. If all goes as planned I will be back at the Center next week. I have not been sick, but had company for several days during Christmas. Also the Center was closed for Christmas and New Years so it has been awhile since I have been present. I am proud to say this New Year has started off great for me. I am stronger both physically, and spiritually. My outlook has improved so much, and I am more positive about God answering my prayers. Of course it still is His decision to answer my request, but I have seen Him already moving in my direction. He is our Heavenly Father, and He cares for us. There is no limit to what He will do if we are honest, and faithful to Him. In this global time of death increase we have a Savior who knows who is guilty, and who is guilty by mistake. We all are sinners, but we don't all knowingly sin. Then there is a time for repentance also. God never shortens our time to make things right with Him, but He does have a limit. How many of us are guilty of tempting Him for more time? Are we driving nails in our own coffin? I think we all should stop and take an inventory of our lives. How can anyone believe that God has not sent death angels to earth to prove his promise to punish all unbelievers of His Word? And those who are not following His Word to the best of their ability? How many of us truly believe we will be in that number, “When The Saints Go Marching In”? We all should be making this a daily concern. I never wanted anyone to be punished for the hurt they caused me, but it is not my call to not let this happen. God said, “vengeance is mine I will repay.” I believe I am honest when I say I have never tried to pay someone back for what they did to hurt me. However, there was never a doubt that they would be punished for it. Thank God for His perfect justice. God Bless Myrtle Jean Sharp

“Fear And Respect Both Have A Place In Man” On this 2nd day of January it is very cold, and the ground is covered with snow. Church was canceled today because of bad weather. I turned it into a work day, and cleaned my living room after taking down the Christmas tree yesterday on New Year's Day. I was well pleased with the way I managed to put my new vacuum sweeper together without calling on my good neighbor. I think I'm getting smarter in my olden days. The vibrator my children got me for Christmas is also limbering up my lazy bones. I feel a new year coming on with a much better outlook on life than I have been having. However, I still believe we must use wisdom while dealing with this wicked disease that is definitely a reality. I will not brag to that old devil that he is not giving the deadly disease to me like I have heard some say. Many people just do not know how powerful that old creature is. God is the best protector we can ask for. But He expects us to even respect the old wicked demon to the point of not accepting him for who he is. We can tell Jesus what we think of him, but not the demon personally. I truly believe we are now living in a time of tribulation, and who knows when we can be exempted from being tried if ever? Jesus was tried for 33 years before being set free from that wicked old demon. His rescue was death on the cross. I trust that His faithfulness was also to help me to be faithful, but I don't think we will have to be that death-bound to prove our faithfulness. I am trusting we will not. I am sure of one thing not one human soul not even the brilliance's of the greatest of scientist know the mysteries of God. They cannot predict our life after death. Not even the Arch Angel can do that. Some things have to be left untouched else God will wipe the noisy ones out. Such as we might call fortune tellers. This is my personal belief, but I do trust God to be merciful in the end. I would never try to convince anyone of my personal belief, but I also think if the truth was known most Christians feel the same way as I. Otherwise why would people fear death so much? I had a dear friend tell me she thought God was punishing her by making her to live. She suffered from depression all of her life. She said she would have committed suicide many times but she was afraid she would go to hell if she did, so she prayed daily that God would take her life. She is still living, and declaring that same feeling. So I contend, life is a mystery, death is a mystery, and living is a blessing to those who know God personally. God Bless Myrtle Jean Sharp

“A New Year A New Vision” Happy New Year to me. I just finished taking my tree down and put away. Now for the vacuum to clean up all the mess. First I have to put my new vacuum sweeper together that my daughter-in-law got me for Christmas. I am going to attempt to do it myself before calling on my good neighbor. It was a late bonus present, and my children had already gone home before the sweeper arrived. I am so thankful for the wonderful Christmas I had this year. I had way more blessings than I deserved. My children went all out for me. I love them so much, and thank God for blessing them to the fullest. This new 11 model computer I'm using now is also a gift from them. It is top of the crop. I'm catching onto it quicker than I thought. I hope it never wears out, or gets overtaken by new technology. Sounds like I might be around for a long time yet, and I do. If I knew how to turn the music on this computer I would dance a jig. I will do that later. This past year has been devastating to most of us, but I fully believe we can claim victory now. Oh I'm sure we will still have battles, but that old evil one knows his work is cut out for him now. We Christian believers know that God is still with us, and He will fight our battles for us if we give Him a chance. We must never think we can do it without Him. How can a hand full of dust know more than the One who made that handful of dust into a living soul? That should stop you in your tracks if you think you can take care of your own problems. King David said life is useless. We work all of our lives trying to get ahead, and gain wealth. Then we return back to dust, and everything we have accomplished will be left behind. Only what we have accomplished for God will be recognized in heaven. Paul said Jesus said occupy till I come. That is what I am trying to do. However, that does not mean do nothing for God. Paul was one of God's greatest apostles. He never stopped preaching Jesus Christ after his conversion. .Jesus also warns of too much occupied time in leisure. Luke 21, 34-36. “Be careful not to let yourselves become occupied with too much feasting and drinking and with the worries of this life, or that Day may suddenly catch you like a trap. For it will come upon all people everywhere on earth. Be on watch and pray always that you will have the strength to go safely through all those things that will happen and to stand before the Son of Man. Sounds to me like Jesus is saying be careful and not drift too far from me or you will be trapped. Taken from the Good News Bible. Today's English Version. . God Bless Myrtle Jean Sharp
