"A Beautiful Day A Beautiful Miracle"

Fruit trees are blooming vigorously. This is a plum tree, and it bears delicious plums. 3-15-2015 Perryton, Texas.


Well the season for fruit bearing is here again. I am so ready to start picking a variety of delicious fruits from my trees. I sprayed all of the trees yesterday. I do not want any worms invading my fruit. I will spray several more times before the fruit starts to show. The temperature at 6:00 this evening is 79 degree with almost no wind. A very beautiful day.

I cooked a big dinner today of Bar-B-Q ribs, potato salad, and baked beans. Had home-made light bread and fruit salad to go with it. I spent most of the afternoon painting. It seems like I’m getting no where fast, but I never give up on a portrait. It finally will jump out at me, and that’s when I feel so happy till I can’t wait to start another one. My next project will be a painting of the cabin we used to own in Stonewall, Colorado. Because this scene is so comprehensive I will be using a canvas measuring 48”x 24” My son, Kent, wants this painting because he loved the place so much. He was young when we built it, and he has lots of good memories of the beautiful scenery and the cabin he helped to build. He has just moved into a very large, beautiful home, so I hope I can do a good job of painting this subject. I thank my God every day for giving me something to keep me occupied. He never fails if we don’t fail to appreciate His blessings.

As I challenge new ideas every day I find myself too busy to enjoy the pleasures of life. I believe God wants us to be happy and joyful at all times. Even in times of grief I believe God wants to see a smile on our faces. It is like He is saying, “brush those tears away. I am your joy. Why do you not surrender it all to me?” Can anyone imagine the power and the love of God? No not one. He is the mystery that will always remain just that. All we have to do is trust Him. This past week I asked God for a miracle. I had a burden for a special person in my life. I had forgotten that I asked God for that miracle until I heard the good news. This dear soul has a very bad hearing problem. He is a young man with a family. As a 13 year old boy he had an ear drum removed because of a tumor on it. Over the years he has lost most of the hearing in the other ear. He wears hearing aids, and was able to be accepted for a position with the Texas Department of Criminal Justice. He has worked there several years, but his hearing is getting worse. I asked God to work a miracle in this young man’s life and restore his hearing. Can God put new ear drums in deaf ears? I believe in miracles, but somehow I forgot about this request. This guy didn’t know that I had asked God for a miracle. A few days later I read this on face book.

“Well doctor today told me that he was sure that he could restore my hearing with a simple surgery that is 70% successful,  thinks he might could get it pretty close to normal. That is VERY encouraging news and recovery would only be a couple days or so. So just need to figure out when to do the surgery. Oh Lord, I pray that it be done.”

After I read this I was reminded of my request to God, but have to confess I was shocked. What is a wrong with Christians today?  Please pray earnestly with me and others that this surgery will be a success.

"Just Remove The Stone"

Life after the stone is rolled back. Tulip leaps forward and is alive again. 3-12-2015 Perryton, Texas.

          To the left of the larger tulip are some smaller ones.  3-12-2015 Perryton, Texas


A few days ago I was looking at some tulip plants that were coming through the ground nicely. My flower garden is adorned with a few rocks of different interest. To the right of the barley visible tulips I noticed some yellow sprigs trying to grow beneath a large sandstone rock. I quickly removed the stone, and, oh my! Two or three tulip bulbs had been buried under that stone all winter. They were trying to grow outward, but had no life support, but a little light from the edges of the rock sticking up. The yellow leaves with a touch of green were about six inches long. I was sure that the sudden exposure to the fresh air and sunshine would kill them quickly. I was wrong. This morning, about ten days later, after a week of snow on the ground, I found these vigorously growing tulips standing much taller than the ones that were undisturbed. My first thought was that I needed to look for more potential beauty covered by a rock. This scenario can be used in helping people who are buried under a rock, but are still alive. They are struggling to grow, but can’t get the sufficient light to nourish them. Normally speaking I believe I have removed many stones from people’s lives, but some just seem to large to move. Does this mean we should give up? No, not for sure. Remember it was an angel who removed the stone from Jesus burying place. If we really care enough about precious souls, we will trust the angels to help us remove the stone. It requires a lot of faith, but the beauty that will come alive is worth it all.

We are approaching the Easter season. Let us be reminded of the large stone that was rolled away from Jesus’ grave. Life was restored into the “LILY of The Valley,” Jesus Christ. Also know as The Bright and Morning Star. I have had temptations to retire completely from all work related efforts, and just relax doing nothing for the rest of my life. I do have that choice. but my initiative says keep going. I can’t look behind me and see how far I’ve come, but I can see ahead with certainty that I’ve not reached the finish line yet. I hope to be able to remove many more stones before I give up, but I have to be aware of which stones to remove. I can only know that by looking at the beauty all around me and noticing a few yellow sprigs that need to be helped. My taste for beauty is growing every day. Whether it be in my flower beds, on my computer, or around a table of wonderful friends sharing good food. I love to love everybody, and everything that reflects God. I invite you all to come to my discovery center and help yourself to a good and happy life.

God Bless

"I Heard Your Message God"

                                 Good morning sun. Rise and shine. 3-11-2015 Perryton, Texas.


This gorgeous sunrise is what I saw this morning from my front porch at 8:00 a.m. 3-11-2015  Perryton, Texas. Like Jeremiah the prophet, God spoke to me through this magnificent sun. I was having a little trouble with myself this morning about keeping my plans for today. I was definitely going to the Senior Citizen’s Center today for lunch. Somehow when I finally got up a few minutes before 8 O’clock, I decided not to go. I wanted to stay home and start painting on a portrait that I have almost finished. I poured myself a cup of coffee that was ready when I got up, and started to the living room to watch television while I drank it. As I sat down on the couch and glanced out the window, I was struck by the beauty of an awe-inspiring sunrise. I grabbed my camera, walked out on the porch and snapped this awesome sight. It was like God was speaking to me through this splendorous, glorious, symbol of creation. I was immediately motivated to hurry along with my original plans for today.

We never know what God’s plans are for us, but I feel like I was suppose to go to the center for lunch today. I will do just that. I may never know if my presence there was used for something by God, but I do know I will follow His instantaneity ultimatum. Other things I want to do can be put on hold. I am aware that my readers are not always impressed with my continuous posting of sunrises, sunsets, moon shines, and stars, but if I have a prompt emotion I cannot ignore the message I get from these signs. Everyone may not know this, but we all are messengers of God. If we chose not to deliver His message we must suffer the consequences. His message to all is, “go and tell the world that Jesus saves.” There are other times when God speaks to his messengers to do different things. Only those who are close to Him can hear His message. I would not say that I am always close to God, but I try not to stray very far. I never want to get lost to the point that I cannot find Him when I realize I have strayed. Its better to hold onto His hand than to get lost amongst all the confusion in the world. Its not like we can back up in a corner and wait for Him to find us. We have to find Him. He knows we’re lost, but He warned us not to seek other God’s or idols. That’s what happens when we feel big enough to take care of ourselves. I believe we need to hear from God every day. The word tells us if we will call Him, He will answer. Have you heard God’s voice today? If not I would call Him now. Listen for His voice and you will hear.

"Let Us Light Up The World"

3-10-2015,  8:00 a.m. Perryton, Texas. Moon still shinning in a clear blue western sky. No it isn't the sun, its the moon. Just a bit amazed.


This morning at 8:00 in Perryton, Texas the sun is shinning bright in the eastern sky while the moon shines bright in the western sky. My guess is if one fails the other will still shine. Of course that’s mentally speaking. As long as there is a world the light will shine on us.

Some people are walking around in spiritual darkness. They fumble their way through each day and night not knowing where they are going. Many are running into a suicide deathtrap because they cannot see it. Just as God gave the Israelites light to travel by night after He brought them out of Egypt, so will He also give his people today light to travel by. The problem is so many people want to light up their own lives, but they never seem to shine. The sun and moon are removed from their path because they want it that way. Those who have found the true light are struggling with issues they accumulated while walking in darkness. This includes all born-again Christians. While the light shines on Christians today, they have a mind that wants to keep looking back to the dark side of their life. Those are the times when the power of God will sustain us if we call upon Him.

How often we all are tempted to withdraw from the responsibility we have in praying for others. Even the highest leaders of our nation. Prayer is what has held this country together, and prayer will continue to hold it together. Every individual is included in this spiritual war. If any would renege then dishonor will be placed on them by the Great Commander-in-Chief. God, Himself. A soldier is forever, but an honorable soldier is priceless. The scripture tells us not to hide our lights under a bushel, but to let them shine always. Matthew 5:15. Someone we know needs some light to shine on them to get them out of darkness. Are we willing to lend them some of the light we have been given? I am often criticized for insulting someone whom I was trying to share some light with. That’s ok. God knows my heart, and I know my responsibility to Him. I will do what He wants me to do, and I will go where He wants me to go.

I am a true believer that time is an essence to complete the job we have been commissioned to do. Today is the day to begin reaching out farther to look for someone who is still groping around in darkness. We can offer some light, but we cannot force anyone to use it, however, we don’t always see the real impression we made while trying to share. By faith we have done our job, and the rest is up to the lost child. Try, try, like never before to touch someone in deep trouble with God. Your life will be rewarded for every sincere effort you make. Let us light up the world.

"Ireland's Most Hallowed Saint"

The theme for the Citizen's Center this month is St. Patrick's Day. The dinning hall was impressive. 3-9-2015 Perryton, Texas.


I enjoyed a good lunch of Mexican pile-on at the Center today. The dinning room was decorated with all kinds of green objects, that spoke to your heart. Saint Patrick’s Day is a day of celebration to commemorate the arrival of Christianity in Ireland. Somehow the color green was the official dominating color to characterize Saint Patrick. There are many festivities held around the world each year to celebrate Saint Patrick’s day. As a young girl in school I always wore something green to school to keep from being pinched by someone who didn’t like me. Those pinches were always the hardest. That tradition still holds true today. I definitely will be wearing something green to the Citizen’s Center lunch next Friday. We, the “young at heart,” members of the Center must keep on laughing. Fun times are always awaiting us there.

On a more serious note I have had several “good news “ reports I could make, but feel as though I should keep them mostly between myself and God. Jesus told the people He healed to go and tell no one. He had to have a good reason for that and I will honor that request. There are other miracles that Jesus did, and requested that it be made public. I believe our own instinct will guide us in times like these, but mostly we need to depend upon prayer. One reason I believe Jesus told his healed people to tell no one is because He knew their faith would weaken when others began to say to them, “prove it.”  Maybe not in that plain of words, but the meaning was just that. In cases like this, doubt and excuses will start to flood the mind. If the miracle was not shared with the general public, then those doubters would not be antagonizing you. I also believe in due time one can shout to the hill tops about their miraculous healings, salvation, or any other prayer God has answered for them. It usually requires a period of time for one to acquire a positive attitude. Our faith grows with our continued praise unto God. I am one to watch and wait for vibes from those whom I am especially praying for. Silent vibes are usually good vibes. There are reasons for one to feel silent vibes. Conviction is hard for anyone to admit, but they do send out silent vibes. These are the times when we go to our Lord in thanksgiving for we know He is working on our behalf. We should never try to force anyone to confess before man. That is not acceptable in any circumstance. Only God demands confession, although I know I have many disagreeable readers. I am speaking in spiritual terms not legal ones. If we confess our sins privately before God, He will hear and forgive us for all. God is loving, but He is also judgmental and will punish us for acting sinful again. Every humankind is sinful, therefore we must confess and ask for forgiveness daily. This is a pattern we all need to follow daily.

"I Caught A Glimpse Of A Huge Orange Ball"

Looking out my kitchen window this evening I saw this large orange ball between two houses behind my alley. Some tree limbs causes the perfectly round ball to look imperfect, but it really was just like a huge basketball. So breathtaking. The white ball is a reflection from something. I didn't see it before I took the picture. 3-8-2015. Perryton, Texas.


At the end of the day I got a quick glimpse of a bright orange sun as it was sinking fast. I wasn’t able to get it in my view window without tree limbs obstructing it, but it was a beautiful sight.

Today is Sunday and I wasn’t planning on writing a blog, but that changed after I saw this lovely orange ball in the western edge of the earth. After hearing a wonderful sermon this morning, and after meeting in the church dinning room for a lovely meal, this beautiful sunset made my day complete. I look forward now on going to the Center tomorrow and having another good lunch and great fellowship with my friends. Since the snow finally melted off and we have had several nice days, I’ve been going full speed. That’s after I spent nine days without going out of the house. Our ground is full of moisture, and green stuff is sprouting up everywhere. I have been revived.

I am very anxious to finish a portrait I am working on, because I am pleased with the way it’s turning out. I will be sharing it on my blog as soon as I’m finished. I’m really fired up again with my painting. I’m working fast to have an exhibit ready for showing by mid-summer. I have many ideas if I can just apply them to reality. One of my sons is retiring and will be coming to live with me soon. He will be a lot of help to me which makes things more exciting. I will have a chauffeur, a yard keeper, a repairman, a chat companion, and a computer tech. I’m sure we both will have to do a little adjusting, but am not the least bit worried. I’m just thankful that my son wants to share the rest of his life with me. He is coming back to the house he left when he went away to college. He still has lots of good memories, and even still has his ham radio tower standing. He is moving back into the room he occupied while growing up.

I realize that each day is a challenge for all of us, but we must keep our faith high and never doubt God’s word. That’s all we need to be more than conquers over all obstacles that get in our way. Just one good sermon each Sunday will keep us up-beat, and jovial the entire week. We all need that just like we need our three meals a day at home. Never be satisfied to miss church and stay home for no good reason. Let us always remember to pray for the leaders of our nation, especially that God will make them wise on all things which they have to do. In other words let us pray for Godly leaders. I believe this is very important. Our leaders are just as strong as we make them. They have to have us just like we have to have them.

"One Decision Away From The Terrorist Touching The Button"

A masterpiece speech given by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu before the House of Congress this week, Tuesday March, 3-2015.



For all who heard the Prime Minister of Israel, Benjamin Netanyahu, deliver his speech before the House of Congress last Tuesday, March 3, 2015, you surly will agree that it was an alarming and warning message to all Americans as well as all other nations. As most of you know our president, Barack Obama, is negotiating a deal with Iran at this time that will allow them to have nuclear weapons. Iran is a terrorist country and has vowed to annihilate Israel. For those whom have read the bible even a little know that Israel will  be the last country to exist. God’s word teaches us that the world will be destroyed by fire. It is an known fact that a touch of one little button could destroy the entire world, that would be caused by fire. It is a religious belief by many of the Muslins that the more “infidels,” non-Muslins, they kill, even by suicide, the greater their reward will be in heaven. This belief is so certain to them that they are now teaching children as young as four years old to be suicide bombers. Human ammunition is the chief weapon in their army. In my opinion if they can destroy the entire world by destroying their own lives, they believe they have won “The Battle of Armageddon.” the earthly battle against all governments.

Israel’s Prime Minister is a great believer in the power of God. In his speech he said, “If it gets to the place where Israel  has to stand alone, then Israel WILL STAND ALONE. That is what our bible teaches us. I believe it 100 percent.  Israel will not be defeated, no matter what they have to do. But my fear is that America’s President is not for saving Israel, but handing over more power to the Muslins. America will go down with all the other nations against Israel. America is getting ready for one of the hardest test they have ever had. Will they stand for God, or will they stand for evil? We all have just recently witnessed the beheading of several Christians on television. Don’t be fooled into thinking we won’t be tested also, unless we are called away by our Heavenly Father before the test. I challenge every Christian in the world to mention Israel’s Prime Minister’s name, Benjamin Netanyahu, before God every night before they go to bed. We all just heard the speech of all speeches made this week. How could anyone refuse to honor this great man of God? I am with him because he and his country are the anointed of God. Not because he said so, but because the word of God says so.

Don’t forget, we cannot let the terrorist have access to the bomb that will destroy the entire world with just one little touch of the deadly button. Let us stop this president and his cronies some way. Prayer is the greatest weapon. Anyone can do that. Don’t put it off. Let us form a chain all around the world to protect our people.

God Bless
