"A Storm Without A Shelter"

Its so nice to be able to look out my kitchen window and see a wind vane that tells me what direction the wind is blowing. Today the wind is blowing hard from the south east. 4-11-2015 Perryton, Texas.

As you can see the wind is blowing in a dark cloud from the direction the wind vane is pointing to. 4-11-2015 Perryton, Texas.



Today is one of those that keeps you on your toes wondering what the weather is going to do. We had a slight shower this morning, but nothing else but hard wind the rest of the day. A very large dark cloud is coming from the southeast and looks bad to me. The wind is still blowing hard, and its more than cool outside. I freak out when the clouds look like this one. I am not a discerner of which clouds are dangerous and which ones are not. I just know that tornados are striking somewhere almost every day. When one doesn’t have a shelter its quite uncomfortable to be alone in stormy weather. However I do feel sure that after I have done all I can do, then God will do the rest. I’ve always heard that April brings showers. Today is April 11 and we have only had a few drops of a shower. Maybe we are going to get a good one tonight. The wheat crop sure needs it.

I try to keep a positive attitude at all times. It certainly is a challenge almost everyday as we get older. I am learning things that I never thought about before. That is what age does for you. One never thinks about getting old until after they get there then they try to deny it. Whether we deny it or not facts are facts and nothing can change that. I don’t plan to argue with God about my age, but I may tell Him I am still young. My loving, heavenly father is never going to deny me because I am old. He tells us in His word that the older are the wiser. But no matter how wise we may become the body will still wear out. I am thankful that I am still able to walk and take care of myself. I grieve for my loved ones, and sometimes feel like I don’t have anything left to live for. But the fact is I am not living for me, but because God wants me to live. I cannot, or must not, tell Him I am ready to die. I would be guilty of desertion. I want to be faithful with my earthly duties for as long as God allows. If I stay able bodied I must make myself exercise my body, soul, and mind every day. I must use the wisdom God gave me to stay out of harms way, and I must pray for others every day also. I believe this is a command, and not just a choice I have. A pledge, so to speak, that I took when I was forgiven of my sins. Yes, I am still a servant of the King’s elite and I will be serving till my Lord calls me home. “Not my will, but thine be done.” How proud I  am to be able to speak those words.

God Bless

"A Strong Injection Of Theory"

The rhubarb plant makes as pretty a flower as any I have. Also makes good pies. 4-10-2015 Perryton, Texas.

My tree of Heaven is looking pretty. The yellow leaves will turn green after a few weeks of beautiful golden color. 4-10-2015 Perryton, Texas.



There is nothing that elevates the soul more than going out in the yard at early spring and viewing all the colorful flowers, trees, fruit blossoms, and lavish green grass. The bright sun makes everything sparkle causing an even more refining feeling. I hesitate to leave the inspirational environment and go inside to my empty house. Although my house is full of precious memories of every sort, sometimes it seems dead, and nothing seems to talk to me. I am glad to say that in times like that I have many friends and family members who I can talk to always. Thank God for all of them. I believe the worst enemy one has to deal with is the enemy of withdrawal from friends and family. That is a sure way to rob one of all happiness and faith. I like the answer  I got from a friend recently after she had lost her husband. I asked her what she planned to do in the future. She answered with a few simple words, “I have never been, or will never be a loner.” Those few words have stuck with me, and have helped me to stay out of a shell. Friends do help a lot when we are groping around without seemingly any purpose or direction. It remains a fact that some just will not let go of the old steadfast ideas of, “my way or no way.” Misery moves those kind more quickly to their grave. They refuse the love and help they could have had simply because they were sure they were the only one who had it right. Self-pity is usually defined as someone who thinks they know it all, and want people to listen to them. Otherwise they would not be complaining all the time to those who have something they haven’t. I doubt that God would let any of His children suffer for a reason of self-pity when He has said to all, “ask and ye shall receive.” Only those who think they don’t have to ask God to receive are the losers. Somehow they think God is failing them when they are so extremely Godly. Fools are born every day, but there is grace to redeem all who will admit and ask in Jesus name.

When I sit down to write this blog this evening I had no idea what I would write about. I know by faith that God will put words in my ears to write. Today seems extremely different, but I am sure someone needed to hear these words. I pray they will reach the right persons, and help to bring a change in their lives. I can only obey, and do as I am lead to do. After I have done that my soul has been delivered of all responsibility. The rest is up to those whom have felt conviction form these words. Or maybe just direction from a lost journey they have been traveling. Either way I pray for the results to make a difference.

God Bless

"A Little Child Shall Lead Them"

My little grandson, Austin Sharp age 2, and my sister, Betty, helping Austin to get his bass off the hook. Austin caught it by himself with no one helping him. It scared him so bad till my sister helped him pull it in. This was taken in 1995 at Sanford Lake, Sanford Texas. Austin graduates from Texas Christian University next month, May 9, 2015. --4-9-2015 Perryton, Texas.


Just happened onto this picture of my grandson, Austin Sharp, and my sister, Betty Koch. The picture was taken in 1995 at Sanford Lake in Sanford Texas. My sister bought the little rod and reel for Austin and helped him bait it. She threw it out, then gave the rod to Austin and told him to hold it still. After awhile Austin got tired of fishing and wanted to pull in the line. His aunt Betty was showing him how to reel it in and just as it got to the edge of the water something happened. We all thought it got hung on a rock, but then we could tell something was on it. Everyone started getting excited and Austin got scared and wanted someone to take the rod. Betty helped him pull in the large bass. Austin was a bit scared to touch it, but he sure was fascinated while watching his aunt take it off the hook. It seems impossible that this was twenty years ago.

Austin will be graduating from Texas Christian University May the 9, 2015 with a degree in electrical engineering. He was hired some time ago by a major oil company in Midland, Texas. There are some things that people are not suppose to brag about, but grandchildren are not one of them. I am so proud of the many years of hard work Austin has mastered with the end results being exceedingly great. I wish him lots of happiness, and thank God for his desire to achieve in all he takes part in. Sometimes I wonder why God has been so good to my family. I can never thank Him enough. We have had to deal with some unpleasant issues, but the good always trumps the bad.

I am always aware of times of test. Just like my grandson, I have to study daily in order to make a good grade. If I know my bible well I will not be stumped when I am being examined. It is the one book that no one person has ever been commissioned to write the answers. I guess that is why I love it so much. My instructor is the Holy Spirit, and I will always trust His teaching. There will never be a graduation from the bible school I attend. It is a life long study. The longer I attend my class the harder it gets to interpret. But since I’m not having to dig for a certain answer, by the grace of God I will, by faith, get it right. The spirit that we all are, is not to be judged by human flesh. This is the most important thing I ever learned in life. These spirits will soon have a new body, and it will then be worth all the hard work we have done in this life. I believe the brains will have turned into jewels and we will wear them on our heads. What a day of rejoicing that will be!

God Bless
